Permit me to say, Don't just attack 'statements' but ask first 'why' and 'How' it was so. If you do you may not KNOW!
Don't agree by ASSUMPTION but agree by COMMUNICATION of 'Why', 'How', 'where' and if possible 'When' then you grow!
I conclude that there's a need to let you know the reason behind this. In building Intimacy with the Father, we're made acceptable before the Father by Living a Life of Holiness and Righteousness. This is not in anyway to condemn Church Doctrines, Church Doctrines are fine and sometimes teaches the mind of God but there's a need that we understand that Jesus, Holiness, Righteousness, Relationship (Intimacy) and all other relating lifestyles should come before Doctrine.
Listen, these things are not coined from head knowledge! It's necessary that we note that what we are called into is a Life of Holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7) and making witnesses to many in Jesus Name.
If another Church don't practice thesame Doctrine has yours doesn't make it void or unacceptable but our intimacy with God helps us to understand (has we walk with Him daily living a life of Righteousness) the doctrines acceptable by God. Has it was written '...test all spirit to find the one which is True - John 4:1...'
That every of your Doctrines are pleasing to Men doesn't mean it's acceptable by HIM. In this kingdom, you don't lead by YOU, but YOU LEAD BY HIM! 'there is a spirit in man... - Job 32:8'
Here - Here - In this Kingdom, Yeshua orchestrate every Instructions, teaches and guild every Doctrine.
Remember, Jesus never taught us Religion but Relationship (Intimacy) instead and that is why our Lord's Prayer reads 'Our Father, who at in Heaven...' - These sentences announce to us who God is to us and who we should be before HIM, and it's expected that anyone that calls upon Him must place himself/herself in the position of a Son/Daughter.
What is Church Doctrine?
- It's a belief or set of beliefs HELD and TAUGHT by a Church.
In some churches;
1. Their Doctrines are coined out from the scripture (Old and New Testament). - 2. Some doctrines are on ideas of how they think it ought to be and thirdly,
- 3. Some doctrines are Instructions from Elohim. 'The Holy Spirit said...'
People, with different ideas of what their churches need to look like, but we must understand the rudiments of God, the standard of God, the character of God, the Believe System of God (Faith) and all this foundation rest on Righteousness... The standard of the Lord remains sure... 2 Timothy 2:19-21. We have people/Congregations/Churches that has lost Intimacy, they lost Holy lifestyle but claiming Church Doctrine.
The Ultimate Question now is, even if it's His word, ARE YOU INSTRUCTED?
and even if you're instructed, ARE YOU NOT DEVIATING FROM THE TRUTH? We can see the Churches, we can see the percentage at which Doctrines are valued than Relationship (Intimacy), Holiness and Righteousness. LET'S PRAY FOR THE CHURCH!
I have yet more to say to the world at Large but in this message, I will not want to be too harsh with my words because I see the Lord helping his church and infarct, I'm part of this but conclusively, Majorly and unapologetically, EVERY DOCTRINE MUST BE ACCEPTABLE BY GOD AND WHAT MAKES IT ACCEPTABLE IS WHEN IT'S INSTRUCTED BY HIM, not by Human understanding.
JESUS is the Head and the Husband of the Church, the Church must look exactly Like Him! You become what you look at, let the Lord make the Just men perfect again! Amen
God will not instruct Bal about the instructions of His Church! Think about these things...
Beloved, I have yet many things to say unto you… but I leave you with this Text; 1 Timothy 4:13 - Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.
Grow in Grace and Love!
The Truth Stands
Shalom
