Romans 3:
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Boasting a Religion is totally vain, and the Scribes and Pharisees were rebuked for claiming God's favor because of Human Works and Effort.
In all honesty, none of us are worthy, and we are living in an illusion if we think otherwise.
The Apostolic Movement is one of the most fake Religions in the World, and the reason is simple; we use outward judgment to determine if a person is spiritually active. This also feeds Man’s greatest enemy; Fear. Fear causes people to hide behind the veil of outward holiness, where the underground of lies and deceit will strangle us.
None of us truly know how far God follows his Children when they drift away, yet we still call people all kinds of names when they stop coming to our Churches. We boast our knowledge, our understanding, and our wisdom concerning the Scriptures, yet we don’t even know Him! Jesus is put in the prison of our idea, where he never crosses the sea to save a man who couldn’t be tamed by anyone!
When we cease our boasting like the publican, falling on our face and admitting our Human frailty, we will then see past the fantasy that we are better than others. It is just beyond me that a Faith will do the exact same thing that caused the Scribes and Pharisees to become blind.
We sit on our Platforms and pat one another on the back, but the bottom line is, we are no different than other Faith’s that claim they have the answer. Whether you’re an Eply, NotforSale, Prax, Timmy, Jfrog, NotofWorks, or anyone else on this Forum, God can love ALL and EVERYONE, even those who are confused, angry, depressed, and happy; we just need to be honest!
