1. No peace in the world 2. challenge human authority

Dare you challenge human authorities? I always do. Not because I am bold but because I am a so slow learner. In China there is an old saying "Zhong Yong Zhi Dao" interpreted "golden mean" or "be a moderate person", which is to deal with anything in a neutral and modest attitude never challenge with anything. This is the essence of Chinese people's relationships. But I have never learned well so it is very hard for those who are like me to survive in China.

 

This "golden mean" doesn't fit in Christianity; in contrary, it does harm to the growth of our spiritual life. Look at those who worship God in such a neutral and modest attitude--"golden mean"; they are lukewarm in Christ. Not only are they themselves afraid of being considered as "limelight" or "show off", but also If someone is so zealous in Christ, in such manner they think of him or her "show off" or "in the limelight" trying to extinguish their passion in Christ.

 

My talking is always sharp and sometimes disagrees with some preachers or ministers or whoever guides Bible study. They feel I have hurted their ego; therefore, I feel not be welcomed although they dare not drive me away. John 18:23, Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?" So the same to me. If I am wrong, teach me! I am thirsty to know the truth. Don't treat me like an antichrist. you can testify of my wrong in public. I don't feel lose face; I have no face before God. They have confused "show off" or "limelight" with "zeal" making no difference. Even the leaders in some churches try to suppress others' zeal by fearing their authorities or power to be challenged. They are like those hypocrites and lawyers. Jesus says, "woe to you hypocrites, you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering."--Luke 11:52


let 'yes' be 'yes', 'No' be 'No'

In Matthew 5:37 Jesus says, But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil. Brothers and sisters, if you are really seeking the only living God--Jesus, you don't need care others' thinking, press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus--phillipians3:14.

 

speak up ! let 'yes' be 'yes', 'No' be 'No'. Never use "golden mean"; it doesn't suit Christianity. At the last day, "the work of each builder will become visible, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done. If what has been built on the foundation survives, the builder will recieive a reward. If the work is burned up, the builder will suffer loss..."--Corinthians3:13-14

 

So, I continue to speak up, no matter how people are thinking about or talking about me. I have told people, God told me of His purpose on me; I will do great things for HIM. Because I had only been born again in Christ 3 years ago, some people discouraged or prophesied me by saying, "devil deceived you to think you can do great things." I laughed, "devil deceived you by saying so". Devil will never deceive a person to think he or she can do great things, He only deceives people to think they can do NOTHING.

 

If you dare challenge human authorities, you will receive the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. otherwise, you will be choked by weeds around.

Come! sound aloud your opinion at any topic.

I don't need go to what kind of Bible-truths.com. if it says there is no hell then it is not truth. Jesus told us there IS a hell and everybody will stand before judge. bible also says, let everyone be a liar only God be proven true.

Aaaahhh, you got me. The word hell is in fact in many modern day bibles.

Did you know that the word hell in Old English meant to cover? Did you know that hell is still an improper translation to the words sheol, hades and Gehenna? Did you know that several modern bibles are dropping the use of the word hell and eternity as they are unscriptural terms? Do you see the absurdity of a god creating man in a weakened state only to torture him for all eternity for no redeaming value, because he couldn't live righteosly? Once you are able to accept this absurdity, then go to the website I recommend. Until then, it would probably be a waste of time, as you are indoctrinated into a system of deceit and false spirit. May God open your eyes to the marvelous truths of real scripture.

May God open your eyes and understanding. many people seem religious to God, they spend a lot of time on researching different Bible versions, history places, documents, dictionaries etc. they try to prove with physical materials and findings. Bible says those who worship God worship HIM in truth and spirit. so those who worship HIM with research and documents or something else visible will never find HIM. the version I am using has been proven by generations. I don't want to turn God's temple to a debate stage.I had a few pastors before, as a new believer, I just knew something wrong with them, but I didn't know how to express. even today I know, but very few agree with me.I don't care.1 Corinthians2:15 "those who are spiritual discern all things, and they are themselves sugject to no one else's scrutiny." 2:10"for holy spirit searchs everything, even the depths of God" I am not familiar with Bible, I even haven't flipped through once but only read new testament and Genesis, Exodus,psalm and proverbs. nevertheless, I just know in my heart, what is from God what is not. if I have some questions and don't agree with pastors' answers I prefer to ask God through fasting or meditating His word. whoever says anything about spiritual thing, it goes to my ears and is filtered through holy spirit. some people even have cursed me on commenting my article "As a Christian, how do you choose to die?" I simply canceled it. "undeserved curse goes nowhere"--Psalm which chapter i forget. so, you keep your opinion for yourself. I keep mine for myself.

Your oppinion is right here on the WWW. But to tell you the truth, you don't know enough to have an oppionion about spiritual things. Only God can open your eyes to the lies that consume churchianity.
