Members phkrause Posted December 21, 2015 Members Share Posted December 21, 2015 Belief is to Christianity as a motor is to a car. It’s essentially the whole thing. As followers of the Way, we are told to walk by faith, not trust our eyes, and see that which cannot be seen. Not having seen Jesus, we put our trust in him. Not having touched the Father, we still pray to him day after day. As a believer, you kind of have to – believe in order to qualify. Most of us understand that, and so we do our darned best to conjure up a smidgen of belief. We fake it until we make it. We hope that if we say it enough times, it’ll finally become true. We hope that maybe, just maybe God will be like Cinderella’s fairy godmother, and turn our mouse sized faith into a team of horses that bring a chariot to the palace.

When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Gail Posted January 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2016 They ARE very good points, indeed! What kind of faith is shown by saying but not living those statements?

Martn Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 When the Bible "disrupts what we think SHOULD be true, we rarely bend our belief structure to match.... We come up with explanations faster than a two bit magician comes up with fake doves up his sleeve." JoeMo 1 Quote 2 Samuel 24:1-- The LORD moved David to number Israel. 1 Chronicles 21:1-- SATAN moved David to number Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
