Where will all These Lead to?
Well, it has all being said here about this and that...but the point remains "Where are we getting all this to?" What shall be our end result?... I may have different opinion on what "A" or "B" might have spoken but the truth we always speak for HIMSELF (not itself). There is one thing that still border me about this modern day Christianity and that, I tend not to see it happened in the Early Church..."Fight over doctrinal issues" (do they(early Church) really have doctrines?. Methodist has her doctrines different from Baptist's, so also Anglican against Four Square Gospel Church; The lists are many....)... This has cause Church to split up into Denominationalisms, sects, groups and even cults. But the question remain: is Christ therefore Divided? I read from a passage in the book of Ephesians 4v4-5; There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God and father of all, Who is above all, and through all and in you all
So, if this is true in you and me then blessed be God. This is what I see in the Life of early Christian.. James complement what Peter says, so also Peter testified to the Teaching of Paul to be of the Lord even in a deeper way. John the beloved confirmed all that the other Apostles has spoken of, Jude confirmed those things spoken by Peter, Paul and James, John and the in-pendent Judgements. In fact all of them point to that ONE FAITH, ONE LORD, ONE BAPTISM, ONE HOPE; but I beg to differ that in all our knowledge in today's modern day Christianity, We don't preach one faith because we have many faiths on our tables, neither do we preach one baptism because many of us have alot of doctrines on that, while other believed in "Baptism in name of Jesus Christ", other explained that if its not done "in the name of the Father, Son, Holy-Spirit then it couldn't scriptural". Some even go further to say "Forget it, Baptism means nothing" and the other folks says "Just do it by sprinkling of Water or infant's baptism". Does these portraites "ONE BAPTISM"? Does this show that we have ONE FAITH and ONE LORD? I leave the answer to you.
Isn't what Paul says about our generation that is fulfilling in our days? In 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Timothy 4:3-4; For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables..
Peter also testifying of these things in 2 Peter 2:1-22, here is verses 1-2.. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Jude went further and sealed it up in Jude 1:3. In his letter jude said "contend for the Faith that was once delivered to the Saint". Why? Because many faiths, teachings were welling up. (Jude 1-21)
Brothers and Sisters, Is not doctrines we need again, we've had enough of that; enough of Church spliting because of doctrines; enough of all these clouds without rain. We need some thing different from all that. Not even something, we need The Lord Himself to lead us into all Truth!!. Those early Apostles didn't preached up to what we are preaching today before the World was TURNED UP SIDE DOWN. But Lord, we have not wrought deliverance on earth, we've labour as a woman in pain but have only brought forth Winds. Please, Save us from ourselves.
