Title: Letter of the Gospel (3)-Church Discrimination
Content br> There are many churches. To be precise, they are groups that are gathering under the name of "church." The sign read "00 Church" and hung it in front of the building, but there are churches that are not churches, and of course there are churches that are churches. A non-church church is called a church, but in reality it is not a church. It is a group that cannot be regarded as a church at all in its essence and characteristics, a group that can be called a pseudo-church, a counterfeit church, or a heretical church. Of course, the church that is the church is the perfect church, the right church, the true church, and the church recognized by Jesus Christ, the founder of the church. In fact, when we say church, it is this church. The word "church" is not so holy, glorious, or noble, that it can be used in any way irresponsible.
I am often asked questions.
"Which church is the right church? Methodist? Presbyterian? Or Holiness Church? Baptist Church?" It's not a simple question to answer.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
“Be careful that no man deceive you, for many will come in my name and say, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many” (Matthew 24:4-5).
“Many false prophets will arise and deceive many” (Matthew 24:11).
“False Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).
From these words of Jesus, we can see that the number of false Christs and false prophets is not small, but very large. And you can see that their purpose is to deceive souls, and among them there are even the souls of the "chosen ones." Moreover, the fear and trembling is that when they come to deceive souls, it is said that they come in “your name,” that is, in the name of Jesus, and that they will perform “great signs and wonders,” which are most vulnerable to human weakness, and, if possible, will deceive those whom God has chosen. This is what you said.
We live in a world that is truly spiritually dangerous. Just because it looks good physically doesn't mean it's good for the spirit. The Bible tells us that we live in such a dangerous world.
"Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are of God."
We elect people, we believers, we born-again people, and our children of God cannot live apart from the church. We are members of the eternal and cosmic spiritual church, the invisible church where Jesus is the shepherd and we are the sheep of his pasture, and at the same time, our bodies are members of the visible church on this earth, so that we can become saints. , as members, we must live by serving the body of our Lord, the church.
“Jesus set another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. While people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the grain and went away. When they sprouted and bore fruit, the weeds also appeared. And he came and said, "Lord, did you not sow good seed in the field? Then where did the weeds come from?" The master said, "The enemy has done this." The servants said, "Then do you want us to go and pluck them? I am open, let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the thugs, Gather the weeds first, and bind them in bundles to be burned. Gather the grain and put it into my barn." (Matthew 13:24-30)
Jesus himself explained this parable as follows:
“Then Jesus left the crowd and went into the house, and his disciples came and said to us, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field,” and answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, and the field is the world, and the good seed are the sons of the kingdom, and the weeds are the evil ones. Sons of men, the enemy who sowed the weeds is the devil, the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are angels. So, as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, who will cause them all to fall in the kingdom. And those who practice lawlessness will be gathered up and thrown into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father, and whoever has ears, let him hear” (Matthew 13:36-43).
Jesus' answer is clear. “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man (Jesus), the field is the world, the good seed are the sons of the kingdom, the weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed the weeds is the devil.” .
It is Jesus who establishes the church like the church, the true church, the perfect church, the upright church, and the church that Jesus intends on this world.
Now we are clear. It became clear what we had to do. In search of the church that Jesus established, our souls, the souls of our families, the souls of our children, the souls of our parents, and the souls of our friends eat soul food in the church of Jesus, worship Jesus, evangelize, and do missions. and to give, to learn the Bible, to fellowship, to love, and to live beautifully and joyfully while living in this world,
You must not believe in all spirits. The church should not be believed to be the church. Don't entrust your soul to me just by looking at the outside. How important is the treasure? If you lose your soul, you lose everything. When the soul perishes, everything perishes.
Ordinary people are truly wise when it comes to physical matters. When you go to the market and buy the things you need for your body, such as fruits, fish, vegetables, grains, clothes, sneakers... ?/td>
