Text of the page (random words):
sus is so beautiful to jehovah the author here inserts a conditional phrase if we think we must now do our part by working at living right since god has done his part by giving us jesus this is a very confusing phrase what christian wants to have idols use god s name in vain dishonor his parents kill steal and commit adultery let me rephrase the sentence in light of god s law in a negative sense what christian thinks he must not do these things these things being breaking god s commandments i raise my hand i for one think that i must not do these things so here s the question do i think i must not do these things because by my obedience i am doing my part to earn salvation absolutely not praise be to god further as i ve pointed out earlier i don t know anyone who thinks this way or makes the case that we are saved by works so is this woman arguing with the zeitgeist which is lawlessness or is she arguing against nobody and no one i do however know lots of people who feel free to break god s law while appealing to god s grace so i conclude that this author is making the case that since some want to do these things that they ought to because christ has made them to want to do them oh the confusion that abounds the judaizers pushed people to do their part after accepting christ this statement is much like the previous one how it is interpreted will depend on the heart of the interpreter as i have said and as it is said often we do not obey the law in order to be justified nor are we justified by obeying the law indeed paul while speaking to the judaizers in galatians 2 says 16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in christ jesus even we have believed in christ jesus so that we may be justified by faith in christ and not by the works of the law since by the works of the law no flesh will be justified again does this mean that i am free to lie kill steal and commit adultery what kind of message does this kind of thinking present to this world hey you worldly people out there who are condemned by god because of your sin come to jesus so you can live in absolute freedom to sin as you desire without having to worry about the wrath of god i am not for charity s sake saying that the author is intentionally making this claim but what i want to know is how is this not the ultimate message of this article the devil pushed man into death by convincing him there was more he had to figure out and do this makes absolutely no sense god gave man one commandment in the garden of eden the lord god commanded the man saying from any tree of the garden you may eat freely 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat the narrative of the discourse between eve and the devil clearly points to the devils appeal to being not doing the text says the serpent said to the woman you surely will not die 5 for god knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened and you will be like god knowing good and evil there was no appeal to do for the sake of doing something the appeal was to be something namely like god there is absolutely no hint that adam or eve ate of the fruit in order to somehow justify themselves before god which is supposed to support the author s point furthermore adam and eve were pre covenant of grace they actually were under the law one little law so to use them to support grace is misguided the author has clearly twisted this scripture to fit into her own narrative and she really ought not do such things people today say being a christian isn t just about what christ has done for us there are good works that we must now do there must be balance this is a logical fallacy known as a strawman and i have already dealt with it there s no balance there was no balance in what jesus accomplished on the cross and no balance when god raised him from the dead that all happened without our contribution all we can do is humbly receive his gift of salvation and righteousness and then his life becomes our life we come to dinner at his house and are filled up with his life which then naturally and spontaneously pours from us and others are filled he s the chef it s all his food and we just get to eat and enjoy ourselves this can easily be supported by scripture trying to balance what he s done with our good works will only lead to frustration and defeat taking this sentence on face value i can give it a hearty amen but in the context of the rest of the article my response is more reserved as i ve said here and for 2000 years so has orthodox christianity said and as church fathers and the apostles have also proclaimed we are saved by faith nothing else the dilemma is with sin may i go on sinning because after all i am not justified by works can i make peace with my flesh does roman s 7 matter should the law of my mind be at war with the members of my flesh does god s law matter the answer is straight forward we should sin no more john 8 11 what he s done is so much more than sharing good works back and forth with us this is the context of which i spoke above and again it is basically true with a little charity but very misleading good works here is reduced to a sharing with jesus that what he has done is so much more and to be sure it is much much more seems to make good works child s play a little back and forth game between jesus and me and such games ought to be stopped because they are worthless this does not bear out with scripture we live in an antinomian age modern western christianity is very uncomfortable with the law of god but somehow when a husband or wife has an affair and abandons their partner in covenant or their house is robbed or their children dishonor them god s law suddenly seems to be a little bit more important without law you see we have no way of knowing except for the appeal to our own minds and flesh what is sin nor how we ought as christians to live modern christianity bears this out in our culture he has done it all and has made us a completely new creation we aren t workers trying to match his work true but what are the implications can we as new creatures still sin does god s law still apply to the way we live can i because i am a new creature now steal kill commit adultery covet my neighbor and dishonor my parents this article seems to imply yes by all means do i am pretty sure the author does not mean this but everything she says seems to shout the opposite we live in a lawless age it seems to me that if we wanted to speak to the age we would be pointing people to god s law and especially so with the world if there is no law then there plain and simply is no need for repentance therefore the law has become our tutor to lead us to christ so that we may be justified by faith gal 3 24 he died and was raised to the right hand of the father so that we can now just be just be just be what absolute freedom and so here we have the concluding sentence that coincides with the first sentence a call to being and more specifically to just be this reminds me of an interview by stone phillips with the serial killer and cannibal jeffrey dahmer dahmer admitted in the interview at the 1 26 10 mark that even though he had surrendered his life to jesus that he still felt some compulsions to commit these sins would we really want to tell him that the most important thing that jesus wants for him is to just be just be just be to bring it home i don t want to just be i want to glorify god a thing i repeatedly fail at without fear of losing my salvation i don t feel good when i do i feel worshipful because i know that my salvation like jeffrey dahmer s was by no means a small thing i have one hope in this life that is that i am clothed in christ the last thing i want to be doing in my short time in this life is to just be but if i am a secular humanist that is exactly what i would want for there is nothing else all reference to all i know is located in the gray matter that evolved between my ears and so that would be the center of my universe just being therefore would be paramount among my concerns this is why we should consider that all such articles as the one examined here and there are many are not written in a vacuum there is always the zeitgeist or the spirit of the age that this sort of thing aligns itself with we live in an age of lawlessness for the most part the western church has rejected god s law and is now participating in lawlessness it is paralyzed to deal with a rotting culture because without law there is no sin and without sin there is no need for salvation and if there is no need for salvation jesus becomes more of a tattooed environmentalist or a social worker or some such thing than the savior of the world church leaders find it increasingly difficult to confront the age due to the fact that they have hamstrung themselves they have rejected god s law at the worst or they are uncomfortable with it because of the controversy that the spirit of the age places against it no longer does the western church preach repent for the kingdom of god is near as jesus did but rather it preaches god loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life the article of note here speaks not to or of god s salvation but of the secular humanist zeitgeist that blankets the land the secular humanist while he might reject the notion of repent or you too will perish will have no problem with just be just be just be what absolute freedom yes it is safe to say that the secular humanist can make peace with this statement and his humanism and just so long as the jesus is as hip with freedom and wealth redistribution as he is he might even be able to adopt as a personal truth the he died and was raised part too no wonder the west is rotting with skyrocketing illegitimacy rates abortion teen pregnancies and suicides and no wonder there is a mass exodus of the youth as soon as they can from the faith along with imploding birth rates unfathomable government debt apostate preachers and churches preaching the lgbt gospel and basic lawlessness with christendom as a whole being unable to discern the satanic lies in this article so aptly intertwined with truth it is no wonder this is very discouraging for me very discouraging indeed yet i know that these things must happen for it is written but realize this that in the last days difficult times will come 2 for men will be lovers of self lovers of money boastful arrogant revilers disobedient to parents ungrateful unholy 3 unloving irreconcilable malicious gossips without self control brutal haters of good 4 treacherous reckless conceited lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god 5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power avoid such men as these 6 for among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins led on by various impulses 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2 tim 3 1 8 in conclusion jesus tells us to do two things that are of utmost importance he tells us first to choose the narrow gate that is the gate through which we leave the kingdom of the air its thought processes and its zeitgeist second he tells us to walk along the narrow path this path is a different path than the one taken by the masses walking down this path we will be walking along a very different way than everyone else and by doing so we will look different than the path filled with the condemned by god for we will be being conformed to the image of god s son and we will not be just being we will be being made into a spotless bride free from wrinkle and blemish and i for one think that is much better than just being in a rotting and sinful world that hates jehovah and his son with all its might posted by danny wright at 1 12 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday august 20 2014 the language lives it s the communication that is dying in order for communication to happen the ideas which a speaker has attached to the words he s using ought to be the same as those attached by the hearer lest they think they re communicating when in actuality they re not and since communication is a key element for a functional civilized society it only follows that the lack of it would mean it s lets functional and civilized i have discovered that there are quite a few words that have a habit of transforming between mouth and ear so many in fact that it has become obvious that i live in a culture suffering from a language problem that may perhaps eventually rival the biblical account of the tower of babel the point of this post is not to make the case myself that the west is suffering in communicating ideas but rather to point out that there are others much smarter than myself who have been claiming the same thing for some time below are some excerpts from some well known writers who have gotten the same sense of things the first comes from the book the road to serfdom written by f a hayek having lived through a society that had descended into nazism once he noted that the same things appeared to him to be happening again this fact helps to make his observations a little more compelling i believe he makes the following point in his introduction h istory never quite repeats itself and just because no development is inevitable we can in measure learn from the past to avoid repetition of the same process one need not be a prophet to be aware of impending dangers and accidental combination of experience and interest will often reveal events to one man under aspects which few yet see the following pages are the product of an experience as near as possible to twice living though the same period while this is an experience one is not likely to gain in one country it may in certain circumstances be acquired by living in turn for long periods in different countries thus by moving from one country to another one may sometimes twice watch similar phases of intellectual development the senses have then become peculiarly acute when one hears for a second time opinions expressed or measures advocated which one has first met twenty or twenty five years ago they assume a new meaning as symptoms of a definite trend it is necessary now to state the unpalatable truth that it is germany whose fate we are in some danger of repeating he also had this to say on page 174 the people are made to transfer their allegiance from the old gods to the new under the pretense that the new gods really are what their sound instinct had always told them but what before they had only dimly seen and most efficient technique to this end is to use the old words but change their meaning and continuing on page 175 if one has not one s self experienced this process it is difficult to appreciate the magnitude of this change of the meaning of words the confusion which it causes and the barriers to any rational discussion which it creates it has to be...
