Being a Christian is bad?
Deborah-Leigh:
To add to what Roy has observed:
Jesus clearly said in John 9:4-5 before sending the blind man to the Pool of Siloam – “We must work the works of Him who sent Me, as long as it is day; night is coming, when no man can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Understandably, when Jesus left the world , night, or darkness, would return to it which is where we have been for 2,000 years with Satans throne ruling over Christiandom. To come out of Christianity, is to come out of the dark! :)
Peace to you

Hi everyone!-I am in agreement with dogcombat,.When i had looked up the name Enoch i found it to have a twofold meaning #1-a disciple 2# a spear.
His name is actually'chanowk' i found that in the strong concordance dictionary.
I am not intrested in flying with those who call themselves ''christian'' and have their hand in my pocket at the same time or cheat the wages of their employees..

Hello All:
I thought of this verse when reading through this thread (it was also including in "Gospel of the Kingdom" which I have been listening to all week).
Rom. 2 v28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
v29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
As well as
1 Cor. 2 v16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days
Rev. 2 v17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Paul and Peter never stopped calling themselves Jews even though Israel was corrupt as a whole. They knew that the true Jews were ones who were one inwardly. I believe this applies to the title of Christian as well. I mean really, what is in a name? Shall not Jesus give us a NEW NAME when He returns? To want to be called by the title Christian or not by the title Christian is a matter of babes. We should not care what our outward appearance is including any "titles" that people want to bestow on us. So what if someone "assumes" you are a member of Babylon because you call yourself a Christian? You know the truth but even more importantly, "The Lord knoweth them that are his" [2 Tim 2:19]. To really be concerned with this "title" it would seem to be because one cares what "others" or members of Babylon think of them when these people's opinion means nothing. The only "title' one should seek is "the elect" and that is only bestowed on the few at His return.
Don't mean to sound too harsh but like David said, these "titles" can lead to division within us and they are of little importance.
Love,
Marques

Something I really hate about most Christian's is how they will say about somebody "Yeah their alright, their a christian"
Like if you go to a mechanic that you haven't been to before, and the christian friend who recommended them will say that their a christian as if it's a guarantee of not getting ripped off!
Firstly, it's not any sort of guarantee at all and secondly, that's just some sort of superiority complex or something.
My brother in Law is a christian, and I wouldn't trust Him as far as I could throw Him. His bag is the prosperity (gospel) and I'm sure you're almost more likely to get ripped off by Him because He's busy trying to be "blessed"
Know what I mean?

I agree Marques, it is a name. It is the heart that counts. Praise God He is circumcising mine.
