Religious Attitudes ??
Being a man that has become very deeply rooted in God and His truth, I have become one to take great interest with concern for all others that claim our Lord within their own lives, accompanied with the uncountable doctrines (beliefs) of man that are taught in churches throughout America and the world. You at AOL ask if is there is to much or too little religion in America. . . and I shall give you the only true answer that exists according to God that cannot lie. . . .
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9
I began reading about God in the Bible 18 years ago, and have not been in a church since 1995, therefore God, being my only teacher, has been teaching me very much, especially during these past 2 years while being totally alone with him the better of 24 hours a day because of no other life here in the Philippines. And a very difficult time it has been, yet my faith has only increased greatly . . . and God knew that it would, because He knows all things.
Because He is a merciful God full of love, He gives you warnings of all things throughout His words in the Bible, yet very few believe Him, yet with His kindness, He even tells you why those few believe through His words in Isaiah 28:9.
“Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.”
The next verse is very, very important, and that is because it tells you how to read the Bible.
“For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”
Do you understand? Now from the verse you just read in Isaiah 28:9, let’s go from here to there in Hebrews 5:13-14
“For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.”
“But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
To fully understand the verse we began with in Revelation, while knowing that reading the Bible with understanding, is here a little, and there a little. . . So, Revelation 12:9 here, takes us there to 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 with the words;
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ."
"And to no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
"Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
Now from this verse here, let’s go to another there in Ephesians just to plant deeper within your heart the words that you just read in Corinthians. . .
“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.”
Just how clearly does God have to make His truth known?
God is love and truth, therefore His Word is truth, yet hundreds of millions of saved Christians that live their own lives, are living in only the partial truths taught by man. . . .and from false doctrines that they believe. . . are about to enter into the great tribulation. . . .so says God. Jeremiah had to vomit because of his visions of your sufferings. . . .it better make you think now before it’s to late.
Let us allow God to tell you exactly where you are now in prophecy. . . .
“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe His gospel.”
God just told you your choice. . . .believe Him, or believe man.
Because I have lived a life of many difficult trials as God shapes and molds me to be fit and worthy of His calling, I still thank Him from my heart for everything while knowing that there is a purpose for all things.
With God by my side and in my heart, my works for Him have now begun, and where I shall go, or what my life shall become, only He knows, because I have totally committed myself only to Him, and for Him, to do His will, and not my own. . . .AMEN
