Divisions in the Church of God
Posted : 1 May, 2011 11:13 AM
Hello brothers,
I offer you to read my communication with Muslims about Christians. I hope it could be useful for you.
Salam brother, long life to you and your family members! And good health to all your relatives!
YOU MENTIONED THE FULL TEXT FROM HEBREWS (7:3) TO FIND A WAY OUT
YOU TOOK THE WORD "WITHOUT FATHER" AND EXPLAINED IT
BUT YOU LEFT THE SENTENCE I WAS TALKING ABOUT
HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS NOR END OF LIFE
THAT IS THE POINT- The said here in this Bible passage that Melchizedek was "fatherless" in any respect. It was very important in the estimation of the Jews that the line of their priesthood should be carefully kept. That their genealogies should be accurately marked and preserved and that their direct descent from Aaron should be susceptible of easy and certain proof. But the apostle says that there was no such genealogical table in regard to Melchizedek. There was no "record" made of the name either of his father, his mother, or any of his posterity. "He stood alone."
THE BIBLE CONSIDERED THAT MELCHIZEDEK IS SINCE EVER AND EVERLASTING- What I said above means that your statement is wrong. Only our God is everlasting and we who believe in His Son are granted eternal life. We are everlasting like our Father. God gave us eternal life already not during our earthly life through our REPENTANCE, FAITH in His Son and ABANDONING of our sins.
YOU TELL US THAT JESUS IS JUST A SPIRITUAL STATE
SO YOU COMPLETELY NEGLECT THE HUMAN NATURE OF HIM- If you want you can think so. We know that �Ibn Allah had always Divine Nature. He just lived in the human body but NOT being body. He was God dwelling in this body. We do not worship any bodies. We worship God. We are forbidden to kiss any icons, hands of priests, cross etc�.because in this case we would be idol worshippers and punishment for idol worship is DEATH.
ABOUT GREETINGS I SAID I LIKE THE NWAY YOU START YOUR POSTS NOT ME WHO CONDEMNS YOU BUT YOUR BIBLE ACCORDING TO THE TEXT I MENTIONED- About greeting let�s read together:
These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying:
�Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, �The kingdom of heaven is at hand.� Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.
�Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city! Matthew 10: 15
What does it mean? It means that we should greet ANYONE (not like it is in Islam as we know it with you). But if the person is a good man then our peace will come upon him. It means our blessing will come into effect in his life. If this man will be wicked then our Baraka/blessing will just return to us. We do not loose anything in this case. We give freely what we were given
But what does it mean?
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. 2 John 1:10
It was said about these people who are described below. They cause divisions among Christians. It means they say that they are Christians but in fact they are unbelievers who pretend to be Christians. Such people will get to hell and by the fact that they think that they belong to God Jesus, they condemned themselves and they will be in hell. Such people we should not greet. If we do not greet, it means we testify against their evil acts:
Avoid Divisive Persons
Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Romans 16:17 -20
It means that we know the God�s will- we should love ALL people, Muslims and Arabs too. Of course we should greet them. We should bless them. But we should not greet these who kill other Christians by deceiving them and causing them disobey God. These are fake Christians. If we do not greet them we testify AGAINST them to them and other people who see it.
We do what our Father does- we bless and greet!
1 Samuel 25:6 Say to him: 'Long life to you! Good health to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours!
