Exposing Contradictions for Family

<< < (2/4) > >>

Phil3:10:
Antainwan,
I know that you love your father and pleasing him would make you feel much better. I face the same thing with my wife, my mother-in-law and close associates. They think because I do not personally attend a religious service that I am not in close contact with GOD. However, this is the far from truth, I have never felt closer to my GOD as when I left the confines of the Babylonian Institution and found the truths espoused by Ray Smith. I literally spent over a thousand hours trying to disprove a single thing that Ray teaches but was unable to disprove a single one.
MY wife has become totally disgusted with her Baptist preacher and has quit going to church. However she does attend Sunday School and keeps 3 radios tuned into old preachers like J. Vernon McGee and to Christian music radio. I am in my home office, which I share with my wife, and I finally had to turn off the radio as I could not concentrate on my prayers and time in the forum. My wife cannot understand why I dislike having to listen to these sermons and especially music. I have not yet been able to convince her that they are an affront to all that I hold dear.
In conclusion, I am certain that your father feels much like my wife. What is good for some is bad for others but it is difficult for them to understand your feelings. I have printed out many of Ray's articles and seriously doubt that my wife has read fully a single one. I can only pray that in GOD'S time frame HE will open her eyes to HIS perfect truths. There is little else I can do but try to be a good example.
In HIM,
Phi3:10

What do you tell them? Actually, you are not obligated to tell them ANYTHING for not meeting with them.

However, here is a Scripture that tells us what to do when we are entangled with those who do not believe the Truths of God:

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with UNBELIEVERS [those who do not believe the Truths of God]: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?  And what concord has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel. And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? [or 'idols of the heart'--Ezek. 14:4, which are FALSE doctrines and FALSE teachings] for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  Wherefore COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YOU SEPARATE, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty" (II Cor. 5:14-18).

There is your Scriptural reason for not assembling with them.

Rev 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues

Jer 51:45 "Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! NIV

Patrick ;D 8)

You are quite right!  8) ;D

And Rene, 8)  I think you did the appropriate thing to accord with the Scriptures.

I guess Akira329, you have to decide who your father is?  :o 8) :)…and who you are going to obey, revere, and honor…. 8) ;D

What a great opportunity….painful yes, but great…also! :)

Please let us know what you do next….or what the Lord causes you to do! :)

We all have to be separated from our attachments to the earthy Adam which we are all out of,  as we are lifted to recieve the Heavenly realms where our family in Christ and His Spirit are dwelling! 8) :)..........I still don't know what God is doing with you and your Dad Akira329...maybe He is lifting you both up....or not....His consuming fire is on you!

Blessings

Hi Antaiwan,

I think that your father may be straddling the fence and does not know which way to go. Though he hears what you say and can not deny it, the preachers of Babylon are very convincing to blind eyes. So I think he may want you to go to church and do what he can not seem to do himself, pick out the errors that he cannot see. Now I think he is looking for an easy way to sort this out? He wants you to do it for him.

Your father has to face reality, the truth does not come easy. If he wants to know what is truth, it is not by you critiquing a sermon for him, he needs to "study to show yourself approved" (2Tim 2:15). You have presented to him some truths of Scripture that have intrigied him, now he needs to study and find the truth for himself. You can help him, but you can not do it for him. Just wanted to offer my opinion, but that's all it is, just an opinion.

mercy, peace and love

Akira329:
I'm still considering going for my dad's sake but I know I wouldn't feel right pointing out the errors and judging.
With that said, not sure if I'll do it.

I gave him some cd's of rays audio's.
Not sure if he is listening to them.

Thanks everyone on your comments.
The story continues.........

Antaiwan
