I periodically meet with a Contractor friend at some of the buildings I manage. Today was one of those days. He "rocks and rolls for Jesus" during his work and I admire that he keeps Him at the forefront of his heart even during work. But I always prepare by praying when I am around him.
He calls himself a Christian and I believe him but he will almost provoke a doctrinal discussion about his views, when we are together, which are contrary to the Bible. I ask myself, "Lord, maybe he is confused." and other times I am glad that we agree that Jesus is Lord and our Savior and we agree to disagree.
Because of the differences of belief, it is hard to have fellowship with him. The Bible says that... God is not the author of confusion 1 Corinthians 14:33... yea let God be true and every man a liar...Romans 3:4. We are to study to show ourselves approved unto God...2 Timothy 2:15
Just as two magnets are the same type in essence, composition, and qualities of attractability and repellability, yet, when you place two similar magnets on the wrong side of each others poles, they repel! When you have 2 similar Christians with differing doctrines, they will repel each other to a degree. It doesn't mean one is saved and the other is not, but the same doctrinal beliefs of God and the virgin birth of the Son of God and His salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus for our sin must be there in order to work through these differences. So it is with us.
We are both Christians but see some truths differently on certain topics. It doesn't make us less a Christian. Magnets will always be magnets and Christians who are born again will always be born again believers no matter which side of a doctrine we may be on. I hope that you may bear patiently in the love of God also with your brethren who you may not see things eye to eye.
I have set thee a watchman therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from Me..God Almighty-Ezekiel 33:7 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me...Acts 26:18 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming...1 John 2:28
About Me
- Valistener
- I was graciously saved from charismatic confusion and catholicism tradition unto Jesus alone by John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me" which I read in a Jack Chick tract called "This Was Your Life" given me from a Christian friend. At the end I broke into a cold sweat because of heavy conviction that what I just read I was guilty of and knew I was in trouble. I was given a book called "A Divine Revelation to Hell" from a Christian which scared the "hell" out of me. After reading another tract called "Last Rites" I prayed to God to forgive me and Jesus to save me because I didn't want to go to hell but go to Heaven one day. Jesus knew I could not save myself so He died on that cross for me. Now I give out Chick tracts, gospel movies, and Biblical archeology newspapers so that God may be glorified in me through His Son Jesus, Messiah. Don't ever give up on your family and friends you pray for because his Word doesn't return void. And one day, you may hear God say unto you "..Well done thou good and faithful servant:..enter thou into the joy of thy Lord" Matthew 25:21,23 Amen
