The Price You Pay for Truth
lilitalienboi16:
Bam here is the reality of our churches and babylon today;
Matthew 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 22:14 "For many are called, but few are chosen."
God bless,
Alex

Hi Beth,
I can't really add anything to what has already been posted, only that I can see you are living His prophesies. Keep seeking His Truth rather than the praise of men and high status in a carnal man made entity, the inspiration and determination you have to keep your family together is a noble cause.
1 Corinthians 7
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
I am certain that "unbeliever" can also be applied to those who are worshipping another god, not the God who will bring all His creation to Him as Sons and Daughters.
His Peace and Wisdom to you Sister,
Joe

I very much liked your post Darren. :) ;)
And Beth, I hope you can at least read Ray, but I honestly think it will help your mental health to stay forum active if at all you possibly can... on weekend nights before you retire... somehow, or just here and there.
God love ya for what you are going through! No cake walk, and I admire you.
With Christian love, :)

Darren,
I believe these scriptures are strong reminders for us not to reason with our own understanding. When we start to reason it out in our own mind we start reasoning by what seems commonsensical to this world system. It is a hard saying as the disciples say in John 6. We (me included) always look for ways out. It is our God given tendency. It is how religion comes about. We mix God's word with our own understanding and you will get man's religion every time.
It is hard to realize that when we find the Kingdom of God it is like a fine pearl that we sell everything and buy the pearl. Ray just gave a talk on how all means all. Everything means everything. We are to place everything second to God. So we think God would want us to love people and show it, but in God's plan loving people is shown through one's love for God at the expense of the world. If we have any little bitty bit of the love of this world (age) then the love of God is not in us.
I saw where according to Barna Research's polling that something like 85% of christians thought that the verse "God helps those who help themselves" was in the bible. Not only is it not in the bible it is the exact opposite of the message of the bible. That is how we so quickly go back to the wisdom of man instead of trusting God with all of our heart we think this is the way it must be because that is the way everybody does it.
Like you said, "Beth is in God's will". And we all are always just like Judas was in God's will so that whatever you just did God caused it, but we are to look to our next act to agree with and get into God's will so as to seek a better resurrection. In other words, agree with God so that whatever we do we count it all joy.
I believe that because man will always favor the traditions of man instead of the truth and spirit of God's word is the reason Jesus asks "will he find any faithful when he returns". Like Ray's talk says, "Being saved is the hardest thing anyone will ever do." It takes a peculiar person who will actually read God's word and then do what it says.
Be Blessed.
