A ? for ex-Baptists and similar 'evangelicals'.
psalmsinger:
To add to all of the above:
Your "church" is the only one that is totally right.....shun everyone else, especially the Catholic (they drink) and Jehovah witness(they don't celebrate holidays) and bits and pieces of every other protestant religion, including other Baptist sects just don't have the whole truth like "us". The element of pride is found in every carnal religious group or person.

Well,
All of the above, and the list gets longer all the time.
I think a Key to the truth, is to first understand, that it is in God's Will to deceive & blind us to the truth.
That one shook me up more than the others! If one meditates on this, it changes everthing about how we think feel and interact with our world of understanding!
Many things like UR brought great Joy, and confirmation to my spirit! Shocking was "end times" and the book of Revelations. Still in murky water about that stuff?
Looking Forward to more,
Brenda

All of the above and this:
Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual...
Colossans 2:16-17 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: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come
I used to attend Word of Faith in Marietta, GA. It is a harlot church of the Word of Faith megachurch in Detroit, MI. The only understood the physical, material and not the spiritual. They thought to be a seed of Abraham, that they would receive the material blessings. "The flesh profit nothing" fell on deaf ears with them.
Thanks,

My idol of the heart was keeping the traditional Sabbath (Saturday). For years I went to a Seventh Day Adventist Church. Our congregation would not do anywork from Sundown Friday night until sundown Saturday night. This routine got to be so oppressive after awhile that I could not do it any longer. Almost everyone in the church was always in such a dower mood. I was much happier as a Christian before joining the 7th Day Adventist.
I am even happier now that I know all of mankind is going to be saved and one day we will all be in heaven together.

Heaven is a "state of mind" not a location somewhere in outer space.
God is not a terrorists.
That is wasnt up to me to come to the Lord
My house on the sand crumbling.
Probably most of all. the whole bible like a parable which lets you see His words are Spirit. With this one everything is so much clearer now. I remember reading the bible years back and I would just chose which verse would have a spiritual meaning. Now I believe all of the bible has a spiritual meaning.
