How did this guy get it so wrong when Brad is so right? What kind of ungodly guy would get these churches to look at their problem when brad says it is not necessary?It’s a good thing we have Brad with us so we can disregard these erroneous texts.Its a good thing some of us can actually hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
WRONG Brad. I know a lady or two and at least one man who tells it different! They love to tell what is WRONG with the church! They can answer any question you have on politics also. ?They B well rounded! ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Brad — it is always good to focus on Christ!
The Holy Spirit never gets it wrong. Notice how each church gets
Yes. It’s
So if they never happen to feel it, they just go to hell? If only there were chapters and chapters full of verses you could share with someone to help draw their attention to the snake bite.
I find that a lot of people who have a list of what’s wrongs in the church do so because they react the same way when complaining about the government. The government should be doing this, the government should be doing that. They see the government,or the church,as a stand alone entity instead of what they actually are….which is all of us. Not so easy to call out the faults and problems when we accept them as belonging to us________________“Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”
There are loads of thou shalt nots. But feeding on the knowledge of your good and evil doesn’t bring life. It just brings more death. Do you think folks don’t feel the death? Do you think they don’t know they aren’t immortal, that they are dying, that they miss the mark of God’s glory? Maybe that haven’t seen the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus because we still have them trying to be like God by their knowledge of good and evil.Maybe their hearts and mind are veiled because we preach the chapters and chapters full of verses to draw their attention away from Christ and onto themselves.2 Cor 3:14But their
Do I think folks believe they are good people who have not done things that merit the wrath of God, who know they have done things wrong but earnestly believe the good they have done far outweighs the bad? Do I think most folks believe they will go to Heaven, if it exists, based on the aforementioned personal merits?Yes, I would say that is the case with the majority of unbelievers I have interacted with or have seen express an opinion on the matter.
If these guys never understand they are hurting (for all have sinned) they will never look to the cross lifted up________________
We must preach all the Bible correctly. When we preach that the OT (or the New for that matter) is lessons about our good and evil we must learn or rules we must keep as a means of finding life or blessing or righteousness, we’ve missed it and veil hearts and minds. When we preach Jesus from the OT, the prophecies, shadowy pictures and promises He fulfilled, we unveil God.John 5:39You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life;
So we should preach Romans 3:23, right? Romans 3:24says we are justified by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. That’s the Cure. That’s the Good News. And one verse prior (and really the several verses prior) there is a declaration of the disease, and in the verses prior to that, the Law’s inability to cure it. The preaching of Romans 3:23, that man is sick and diseased in sin, reveals the need for the glorious free gift of Romans 3:24
Right on.If it ain’t broke – you don’t fix it. Need to know its broke first________________
You bet! Preach it! Preach Jesus’ death as our death and His resurrection as our new life!Rom 3:23and 24 are a declaration of how Jesus ended our sin and our death and raised the fallen up to sit with Him in life, in the glory of God. We no longer fall short of the glory________________I’m not saved because I’m good. I’m saved because He’s good!My website: http://www.bradfreeman.comMy blog: bradcfreeman.tumblr.com/
