Wrong idea or wrong god?
AwesomeSavior:
Great short insightful video, Dennis :)
Dave in Tenn:
Suppose someone who knows me heard me say I didn't want meat on my Subway sandwich and tells everyone that I hated meat. Are they talking about a different Dave? Certainly what they are saying is untrue and does not reflect my thoughts, but they haven't either 1. Changed me or 2. Conjured up an alternative me--except perhaps in their own mind . And that's maybe an intersection of agreement.
But for me, there is One God and One Lord. In Him we live and move and have our being, and without Him there is nothing. Nothing at all.
None of us share such complete intimacy in the flesh that we absolutely know one another. Apparently, even our understanding and perception of inanimate physical objects is "manufactured" in our minds. It's in the spiritual that truth is truly true.
Jesus asked the disciples "Who do men say that I am?". He wasn't Elijah (except in Spirit) and he wasn't John. Then He asked, "And who do you say I am.". "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God". Even though they had been chosen, they still did not yet understand what it was to "be the Christ".
"I see men as trees."
I believe sincere (not fake) christians are speaking of the One Christ, but they are by and large not worshipping Him, no matter what they may presently think. The day will come when all will worship Him in Spirit and Truth.
Until then, I'll try not to either defend or argue against what your old pastor said.

Thank you for the replies. A lot of gems 💎 and things to think on. And for the video.. I’ve always known that thinking sinful thoughts makes me guilty, as in the example about lust/adultery. But I’d never considered the opposite or flip side to that. That righteous thoughts would also be rewarded.
Joel:
The way I see it there are numerous comparisons to the New Testament Church and the Old Testament Church. Acts 7:37-39.
Both have had false prophets, angels of light, and many charlatans.
So I would say plenty of wrong ideas about the true GOD. Lots of people trying to do God a service without being chosen.

I've been working on a video where Ray says:
From this we learn that there are any
number of things stated in the OT,
that when you bring them to the NT,
they apply to different people.
