My Friends,
What will it take for all of Christianity to become Christian rather than Roman Catholic, Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Independent Orthodox, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, Seventh Day Adventist, Lutheran, Anglican and on and on and on.
Do you truly believe that there is One Father, One Lord Jesus the Christ, One Holy Spirit that is recognized within just these groups that I have mentioned above? If you believe that they are represented the same way as the same persons among the groups then you are wearing blinders. As long as this continues there is no hope. There will truly be a remnant saved. Each group, regardless of doctrine will argue with me that they indeed are the true Apostolic church and continue the teachings from the Apostles and yet all are different and claim that the others are in error.
The world mocks the name of Jesus the Christ even more because of this, whether you like it or not this is true. There is in fact One Father, One Lord Jesus, and One Holy Spirit but where are they to be found? The church has become a place of complicated laws with lawyers who represent the Canon Law. Basic understanding is not taught, sin is not spoken against in many places, the church has a message of feel good about yourself no matter who you are as long as you come here on Sunday and make your tax exempt donation to us and we will be kind and smile and never speak on sin, this is our promise.
Again, there will truly be only a remnant saved. The United States is a land of diluted preaching, Jesus the Christ hating government, race baiting politicians making millions of dollars from corporate sponsors to keep the game alive for profit. The entertainment industry hates the Lord Jesus the Christ regardless of how many may try to deny it. This country of the United States, it's government, it's entertainment, and it would appear that many within the church are a cesspool.
There is only one way out. prayer, prayer from the heart, spouting verses of scripture, displaying degrees from theological institutes, formulating profound doctrine is all meaningless. If your heart is not attached to Jesus the Christ, if you refuse to recognize the sin within yourself and work to have it removed, if you are not in daily communion with our Lord from the heart then what you know intellectually is meaningless except to only further condemn yourself, for if you know then you should act. Be doers of the word; is this not the command?
A man who prays from the heart all day and has little more than this intellectually will have much more effect than 10,000 scholars.
Pray, repent, pray and love. There is no other way.
In Christ,
Monk Michael
