Why Can't You be Just Like Me?
is the most damaging question in the church causing all kinds of conflicts.
Acts 15 the pharisees Christians said you can't be saved unless you become Jews. Religious legalisties are everywhere. Jesus had the inability to follow the law verbatim and Jesus paraphrased.
Acts 15 they have a council meeting.
The lawyers argued for their side and Paul and Barnes shared the evidence of God working outside the Jewish customs.
There are only 4 requirements essentials to become a followers of Jesus. To get a driver's license there are requirements you have to meet.
When did you last check on the spiritual status of your butcher? The rules were intended to allow believers to fellowship together.
It didn't take long for Christians to demand all citizens be Christians or get killed.
Modern missions expected heathen to become civilized before they could become Christians.
We can't comprehend God would allow people to be different from me. It's got to be about following Jesus. Many nations gentiles will come from Abraham and Jesus came to complete the circle.
Unfaithfulness is a good part of the Bible.
When we got saved we were required to burn all our cultural stuff. We get locked into our culture and think that everyone should be that way.
A drum made of elk skin is considered sinful. So I etched Yamaha into it to make it holy.
What does it take to be a genuine Jesus follower?
