WHAT DO WE CONSIDER IMPORTANT?

What do we consider important? A good question indeed. Many believers consider that the fundamentals are what are important, things like, Is Jesus the Son of God? Can you be saved by any other, other than Jesus? The list goes on. What about other matters that seemingly are not salvation issues? We will agree to disagree we say. It is true, that certain aspects of our faith ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE. But, does that mean we are free to believe anything else about the faith we want? Our respective denominational groupings mostly tell us what to believe and we hold the teachings we are taught as gospel.

What a sad picture of the true condition of the church. And we love to have it so. I have said in a couple of previous posts that, the time of tribulation will be a time also for sifting of the church. The unity of the Spirit and the unity of the faith are fundamental matters that affect ALL of the church. We are not where we think we are as far as these matters of unity go. The true condition of the church is one of great division with the resulting effect of dysfunction. If you hold to a view that tells you, you will be raptured out before this final time of tribulation, you have failed to see what God requires of the church in these last days, in particular, the matters aforementioned and the most weighty matter of Jew and gentile as believers together in the Messiah of God.

Not only will Israel be sifted, but so will the body of believers in the one Messiah. They will be a demonstration of the wisdom of God to principalities and powers. Yeshua is the pattern Son, as the Head of a body that will follow in His steps. Oh dear saints of God, read the scriptures, discern the Spirit and heart of God, cast aside man made doctrines that lead you astray from Him. There is a very difficult time ahead and I am persuaded to believe that the time of the falling away, i.e the apostasy will take place during this time, then the man of sin, the lawless one will be revealed. On this matter of the lawless one, this man of sin, I will leave this thought with you, Judas Iscariot is the foreshadowing of this man of sin, read the scriptures... May the grace of our Lord Yeshua be with you all.
