A Word of Caution

Esther · #1 07-13-2008, 09:57 PM

During service tonight a thought came to me to share with you DA, and then the pastor used the same scripture not less than 15 minutes later in his sermon.

I believe it is 2 Sam 6:6 where it talks about Uzzah (sp) touching the ark to steady it and the Lord struck him dead.

David wanted the Ark brought back to Jerusalem but although his intentions were good, he was going about it the wrong way. God had specified how the Ark was to be carried, and it was on the shoulders of the Levite's Priest. No other tribe was allowed to carry it, only the Levites. They were not allowed to put it on a cart to be carried by an animal. Only one way allowed; on the shoulders of the Levite priest.

I realize DA there are issues you have with LS and IB that you strongly disagree with. I only want to caution you to make sure you go about it God's way.

I felt it too strong to ignore. I hope and pray it is taken with the right spirit. It is not to judge nor condemn anyone.

But God does have laws that He doesn't allow exceptions too.

It was to me as much as to anyone else.

We must be careful how we touch the things of God.

Sometimes it is a fine line. We know something isn't right, but what is the proper way to handle?

I think even Lee would have a problem with being placed on par with the holy ark of the covenant.

This thread is out of line, in my opinion.

Come on, hurry up and give us your reason......although I think I might have an idea what it is.

First of all, stated disagreement - whether written or oral - with a person's ideology is not inherently sinful, disrespectful or profane.

Second, LS is not God, does not in any way represent the manifest presence of God (as the ark did), and should not be elevated as an equal to such holy things. The man is not above question. Especially when the doctrine he espouses is patently false and dangerous.

Third, an open rebuke on a public forum directed toward a poster who is himself a minister is an example of the very problem Esther takes issue with in the first place.

Well stated. I agree.

Esther that sure was nice of you. Don't worry about the mean spirited
replies. Some folks have a personal vendetta.

Esther was talking about touching God's anointed and
we all know that

Is Daniel not anointed by God?

He is baptized in Jesus' name, filled with the Holy Ghost and ministering to the lost.

Why the double standard?
