      The scariest possible judgment is God giving man over to there own ways until it’s time for hell. “Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.” -Hosea 4. If the sons of Aaron were killed on the spot for offering strange fire, what kind of wrath could possibly be waiting for people who offer even stranger fire every weekend for 30-50 years? Every day of grace to the impenitent increases the pain of eternity if they don’t repent.

      @@arspsychologia4401 you would be hard pressed to prove that generalization to be true.
      It really doesn’t matter what type of Church you fall under, you will find some that worship in spirit and in truth, and you will find some that are very far from genuine worship, with no spirit and no truth in sight.
      Protestant, Catholic, East Orthodox, you name it. Apostates are everywhere, but it would be very unwise to single out and demonize “all Protestants” or “all Orthodox” or “all Catholics” by claiming “all” in a given group are apostate.
      We must not strike division between Churches and their congregants so swiftly and basing it solely on their labels (i.e. Protestant or Catholic).
      But we DO judge by the fruits of the individual congregation. And if the fruits of a congregation are rotten, then the congregation itself is likely rotten.
      However we must take care to not expand that cognitive perception to ALL congregations of a type.
      If we continue the analogy and liken a given Church to a fruit bearing tree, then we can see that an individual tree that has become rotten does not mean the ENTIRE species of that plant is no good.

      Considering the Easter story was an ancient pagan spring fertility festival it's easy to get confused. Don't believe me? Well how do you explain the classic symbols of Easter? All the Easter Bunnies and Easter eggs, both traditional fertility icons. When Christianity came along it was easier to take over the old festivals rather than invent new ones. The birth of JC took over the sun god cult's annual festival of Sol Invictus, the invincible sun, celebrated on the Winter Solstice when the days started becoming longer again, and they had his death at Easter. A new life fertility festival was just the thing for a death and resurrection myth.

Exchange of eggs is an ancient custom, celebrated by many cultures. Hot cross buns are very ancient too. In the Old Testament we see the Israelites baking sweet buns for an idol, and religious leaders trying to put a stop to it. The early church clergy also tried to put a stop to sacred cakes being baked at Easter. In the end, in the face of defiant cake-baking pagan women, they gave up and blessed the cake instead.

    There was no light show with background music when the Roman soldier ripped Jesus' flesh apart with a whip, made him walk naked through the streets and then hammer spikes through the bones of his hands and feet onto a cross. I doubt even traditional reenactments from any church group can convey what happened.

      None can, forgot his name, but the actor of Jesus in the Passion of the Christ, during the whipping scene he wore a suit to protect himself from the blows. Well one blow hit his suit in an area that was exposed, thus resulting in him being hit and cut, like Jesus was. The pain was so great that he nearly fainted after one hit. Jesus was hit over 120 times...

      Look for an evangelical Bible-based church. If you have a church near you that is associated with WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Church, which are found all across the United States), please go…. They all preach the inerrant and infallible Word. No matter where, please find a church and pray for discernment as to whether the Word is being preached and taught. You and your family need to be involved in a church of true believers. God’s blessings on you.

      Good churches are out there, just hard to find. Whenever we move to a new state, I go by this list when looking for a church home
      1. Do they believe the Bible is true from cover to cover ?
      2. Do they see the Holy Spirit property or do they try to make it like the Holy Spirit is demonic?
      3. Do they believe in the triune of God or do they believe that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are just roles rather than 3 distinct individuals who are echad? (Echad is the Hebrew word used to describe the triune of God in the Bible. Echad means one that is made up of more than one part)
      4. Does the children's ministry actually teach the Bible to the children or is just a daycare?
      5. Do you feel the presence of God there?
      6. Does their doctrine line up with the Word of God?
      7. Do they teach applying the Word to your life and not just read and try to make the Bible fit an agenda?
      8. Is the pastor willing to preach about things that are controversial the way it is in the Bible or do they seek to please man?
      9. Do they believe that God still does miracles or do they make it like God is not the same God He was back then and has changed to no longer doing miracles?
      10. Do they preach a prosperity gospel so they can get rich?
      Test everything. Read about them in their website before going. Talk to the pastor or others who can help you get a good idea of what they believe. Pray about it and if anything feels off, move on to checking out the next church. I've had times where I would go 2-3 months going to different churches every Sunday until God let me know I was in the right place. Don't give up

    • @timothy4641
      @timothy4641 Před rokem +3

      Matthew 10:28
      Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
      Yes God is full of love, grace, and mercy. Jesus’ crucifixion shows how infinitely He is able to love the unlovable. And His resurrection the proof of His statement that He can lay His life down and pick it up.
      However God is perfectly holy in every one of His aspects. And as a holy judge who will show no partiality, it is right to have a fear of Him. God isn’t your buddy or pal you sit down and have a nice chat with at a cafe.
      His infinite holiness makes it impossible for anyone to stand before Him. Just look through scripture. In a vision where Isaiah saw God on His throne in heaven he wept and proclaimed that he was undone.
      Isaiah 6:5
      “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”
      Even angels who are God’s messengers cause men to crumple. In Daniel 8:17, Daniel was visited by Gabriel.
      Daniel 8:16-17
      And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision.”
      As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”
      Fear of God is healthy. It leads to conviction. It leads to repentance. It nurtures an ever deepening gratitude for the forgiveness we receive by God’s grace. It allows those that have been redeemed to not worry about what people will do or say when man’s laws and God’s laws conflict. It produces courage in the face of persecution. Peace in troubling times. And a love that allows even the least of believes to reach out with the gospel to a dying world in the hope that maybe something they do will show a fraction of the love and forgiveness God is willing to give if they will see their sins for what they are, who God is, and how desperately they need forgiveness and salvation through Jesus’ substitutionary atonement.
      And lastly, fearing God and knowing Him helps Christians put off the old sin nature that keeps crawling out of the grave to wreck havoc in a believer’s life.
      None of this is intended as an attack. I’m just as much in need of God’s mercy and grace as the next. But the painting of God as some loving kindly old man that just wants people to be happy is a terrible misconception that is all too prevalent nowadays.
      I’ll finalize with two proverbs.
      Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
      And
      Proverbs 10:27
      “The fear of the Lord prolongs days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.”

I can only assume that the Lord above is so angry to see these things being put on in his holy name. I want to cry. I just watched the movie called, The Greatest Story Ever Told, it was filmed and released in 1965 and they didn't have all the theatrics and all this bizarre stuff that this video claims the world needs to be captivated.... NO, THAT MOVIE HAD exactly what it did need! It had great actors portraying what the Bible says happened! and it was beautiful and warmed my heart and made me cry and feel so much closer to the lord. Whatever this is, is so wrong, embarrassing, scary, a mockery of the story and the work of the enemy. He didn't have to show much for me to not want to watch anymore either. It makes me so sad. There will be many that go to hell because they will be following this that is being taught now and they do not know any better. HOW SAD IS THAT? If you know someone searching for the lord and they think they have found him by following this junk..... do not keep tight lips, talk to them and explain what is the TRUTH vs this LIE the enemy is teaching. Do not be afraid that you will lose them as a friend or family member because their relationship to you is not nearly as important as the relationship they have with our Lord and Savior. Love them and forgive them. Your words may be what they need to hear to change the lane they're walking in from the enemies to the lords. May the Lord have mercy on us all.

    How is this scandalous, disgraceful behaviour allowed? It is an affront to God. This den of iniquity should be shut down and the joke of the ‘pastor’ kicked out.

    What a Disgrace! The spirit says in the last days that the people will turn away from the truth. They will look up to teachers with their itching ears. They would rather be entertained to the world that serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They'll be the ones on that day saying, Lord, Lord, didn't I do this in your name and that other thing in your name. He will say, "I never knew you, you, workers of Wickedness."

    Remember:
    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2Tim.4:3-4)

    Amen! I am so sick of attending my worship service and having it programmed for the unbeliever. I’m sick of this!!! I will even say that this is a sin.

      Ms. Chambers, you are not alone and many agree with you! It isn't proper for an old man to comment but I would like nothing more than to knock that Tulsa pastor on his backside (and I'm mean enough to do it)!

      You are correct. We are sacrificing the wheat to appease the weeds.

    Shocking the way some churches are going, and amid it all is the fact that Jesus did NOT die on a cross but rather an upright stake (Grk Stauros) or upright pole ! Remember what the Bible says that we MUST worship God "with spirit and with TRUTH" !

  • @Swanny_dog_millionaire

    I live in Tulsa and go to LifeChurch. We have pastor Craig who is grounded in the Bible and doesn’t stray. He’s humble and tells us problems he goes through and is very transparent
