Chir(i)che origin bef. 900 ME Lords house Church= a building for public worship
Church= the whole body of believers plus 17 similar definitions!
So I should change the subject line to" When a person of God within the structure of church turns others away from God" I also could add that parents raising children in a Godly home or Gods witnesses on the street as well......................How can they consistently continue to preach of hell and damnation all the time? When one tries to sale their vacation home they would never harp on the volcano next door! Now I did not say to exclude that info but to constantly speak of the smouldering mass would assure someone to turn away from that venture.
Look at most of the pastor/ministers children.........most I have known were buck wild! Not because they did'nt believe in God.......but that they were armed with much knowledge of God. For example if you think it , you may just as well fulfill the action! For God views the thought as an equal to the action! "One sin is no worse than another" and "if we ask God for forgiveness we can be forgiven of any sin"
What I am really trying to say regarding my subject line is that...........Godly people should teach about Gods love and use the church and our homes to show that! A sincere hug, a cup of warm soup with loving words, share stories of how God has helped us in our own crisis.
Ofcourse we need the bible to start the story and make sure all is told of his creations and powerful love! However I feel to harp on all the evil in the past, present and future .......only reminds people of what their choices truly are . If we show good within ourselves toward others and speak of many good things to come........I would think that would be contagious as well!
Like small children we learn from example and we are Gods children , therefore we need to show examples and not just speak of the hell on earth to those we are trying to bring close to God.
