Apply The Bible Three Times A Day For Two Weeks And Call For Another Appointment

Posted in Christian Living, Christianity, Discipleship, tagged , , , on December 10, 2008 | 9 Comments »

There used to be something I believed quite strongly in. That is if you just learned enough bible, you know enough verses things would get better.

When many theologians and Christians want to defend the role of Elders/Pastors many of them run back to the Old Covenant (A Covenant that is abolished by the way and obsolete, and was a ministry of death) and point to the priests as an example (especially some of my Covenental brothers).

Here are the verses:
20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine and became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a [...]

“You aren’t sharing the Gospel? How can you say you love Jesus”? “What you studying in the scriptures? Nothing!? Man you ain’t going to ever grow like that”! “Relational witnessing? What is that?

I am Looking at the Man in the Mirror!
