Exposing Christian Doctrine

I'm all for exposing and ridiculing Christian false doctrines to show how evil they are, but let's remember that we all could just as easily be those Christians and unbelievers (and we were) if not for the grace of God.   I think it's easy to become puffed up in pride being against the Christian doctrines, as I have felt myself becoming in the past, if we don't have this attitude of heart.  I say this as much for myself as for anyone reading this.

Hi.  I don't know if you caught the other threads where I mentioned about someone e mailing me very upset because I follow Ray!!  Well, I got 2 more e mails today!  They got on the site again and write me back to repudiate everything he has read.  The big thing today was, how is the beliefs that Ray teaches help overcome poverty, ignorance, healings etc...since we lazy Christians just sit back and think that we have no free will or don't give anything.  Then I was asked why I havent responded.

Because God hasn't opened their eyes! Why should I get into it?? I don't even know how to respond about anything, much less this.  How do I pretend all is well w/ our friendship when they think I am "following a quack" (their words) and will really burn in hell.

When I suggested reading on BT I thought they would really get excited, but instead they have really turned into detractors.

Gena,

You've done well not to respond, you led them to writings that have more truth in them then they will ever understand in this lifetime.  Let God take it from there.

As I believe Longhorn will agree with me, I've never, ever wrestled a pig out of the mud without getting dirty in the process. ;)

aktikt,

I'm with you on that.  It's so easy to leave our First Love and become that which we dispise.

Gena,

The last "Christendom" fellowship I was involved in was one that met once a week for Bible Study... some of the most genuine men I have ever met.  (I won't mention the organizations name but they are world-wide, meet once a week, using the exact same study)... Anyway, I loved the people I met... they were hungry for the word and were good men.

When we would study though, read together, discuss the study... the only word I can use to describe what I witnessed was "supernatural"... to hear a man read the scripture perfectly but then when he went to repeat it back from his understanding... it was completely the opposite.  I ran into this the most regarding the doctrine of free will.

To hear the scripture alongside other men... to understand and others not could only be described by me as supernatural... maybe the most supernatural thing I have ever witnessed in my life.  I truly believe in having eyes but not able to see, ears and cannot hear.  They will get it when God opens their understanding.  Until then I am not resentful toward them... I think they are good men... but they just haven't been chosen as of yet... and I can't change it.

What is sad, and I believe Ray said this... that trusted shepherds have led the flock into making Christian doctrine supersede the Word of God.

Does all of this cause me to love people less or regard them as less significant than I ?  No.
