Its done with a lot of haste n not properly plan out. So it doesnt resemble like a bible study...and it certainly look like a message of a square peg fit into a round hole.
Well sigh..i am just waiting my time..when the right time comes i will make my move out to another church
Lots of duummc pipu ran to new creation church but i am not in favour of their waiver of confession approach.
There's a huge misunderstanding on this.
Allow me to explain, I expect some backlash but it's okay, I got to learn patience and grace towards others. Pehkay have demonstrated this grace towards others far better than I have.
Read the entire chapter of Hebrews 10 for proper understanding.
It's not a waiver but to understand Christ's work on the cross is not temporal but once and for all never to repeated again (Christ's work). That is what it means in
Hebrews 10:10 (NIV) - And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.Hebrews 10:12 (NIV) - But when this priest had offered for all time
one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
Hebrews 10:14 (NIV) - For by
one sacrifice he has made
perfect forever those who are being made holy.
We can continually confess our sins, (I do that as well sometime) but I also know I'm forgiven not primarily because of my act of confession but because of God's grace and the work of his Son, Jesus..that is something God sees and recognize judicially.
There nothing wrong with it, You can confess if you want... but to say that our status with God changes so quickly makes short of Christ's Work and kind of hypocritical because....
When we were sinners, we Christian teach people that no amount of good deeds that we performance can change our status as a sinner trying to convince them that they need Christ as saviour to be saved and yet commit a double jeopardy by saying after being saved by Christ we can be made righteous and be made sinners depending on our acts ....within minutes making Christ work to be temporal forgiveness and incomplete.
That is something I find problematic and is not consistent with what God says. I view Christ's work as perfect and finished. And if I say and believe in that, then it's reasonable to believe we are made saints by the blood and thus should walk in the view of that light even though we may fall from time to time. That to me takes Faith and I see that is how God sees it when he says..the Righteous shall live by Faith.
Romans 4:17 (KJV) after all says
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead,
and calleth those things which be not as though they were.We can continue in PM..I think I've open some cans already.....
