Still...........worship or concert?

Using the name of the Lord for merchandising?

Why not free offering? Have faith IF they are preaching faith. God will provide. Dont be like the heathens charging tickets!

o

Its a concert..much like the world type except they are marketing the name of Jesus.

So is it Christian or not?

Except you have to pay.

How is the gospel preached? Is it by the word of God or music? Music does not convict a sinner. The word of God does that.
Do you believe that?

IF it is an evangelistic concert why cant the churches bear the costs? Why do you allow an organiser to charge exorbitant tickets to get in?
The organiser is making merchandise of the sheeple like thia. No different from the heathen music industry.
Is that Christian?

i was involved with organizing Christian events involving lots of money and costs.
In the end, when we made a loss, our committee looked for sponsors to cover.
If we made profit, we take the money out and donate it to Christian organisations eg Prison Fellowship, etc.

No profiteering on the name of the Lord. This is Christian ethics. Old fashion accountability and protection against greed.

But you mentioned preaching the gospel. What is it now?

If its is a heathen concert, then its OK. BUT dont use the name of the Lord in vain. Merchandising the name is bad.

BUT you said its not evangelistic!

Think you are mightily confused!

If its evangelistic, the church should organise and manage the costs.

If its not, then its not a Christian event. This organizers should not merchandise the name of the LORD! AND the church should be warned to stay away.

So what is it?

hmmmmmm

God gave us a brain to discern. We are not created to be foolish.
Why should a Christian event be the same as the world's as far as principle goes?
Why should they make merchandise of the Lord's good name? And at the same time make

Taking the name of the Lord in vain, perhaps?

i believe we have the following:

a) Tickets are sold for the concert
b) Prices are exorbitant. Similar to the worldly concerts




c) The name of the Lord has been used in this market.
d) Marketer is a secular company

Yes. God will be the ultimate judge. However, we are to discern and make a call. Dont be sheeple

Hi

It wasn't about the OT and NT.

It was about Grace and Law.

The OT does not equate Law. That"s a fallacy. Grace has been shown by God throughout the OT.
The OT saints are saved through their faith in God and thus accorded righteousness. Hebs 11

NO ONE is saved by the law. Thats not the purpose of the law.
Neither are you saved by the New Testament! You are saved by grace of God through Faith in the Lord Jesus.
Its the same through out the OT and NT. God's salvation plan is the same.

No

The Jews were not saved by obeying the law. Jesus came not to abolish the law but fulfil it. The word fulfil here is to bring enlightenment to it.
Thats why He preached and expounded on the spirit of the law.

The sermon on the mount:

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed * the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill ; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say , Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire

27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery : 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

On the salvation of Jews in the OT, its the same as any of us.
Salvation is by Faith In God through His grace. Rom 4, Heb 11

We had no problems.

We were believers. Afterall this life is temporal. Theres nothing to bring along here except your relationship with the Lord.
My mum knew where she was going, to Jesus. We knew where she was going.
We are all at peace.
Even when she was suffering from cancer, God in his grace took all pain away. Same was my dad in 1997. Cancer, no pain.

To God be the Glory!
