LEAVING YOUR FIRST LOVE

Hi George kuhns,

Happy new year to you too. It is a wonderful thing when we first see where we have come from
to get here. Even more wonderful is when we know Who (Jesus Christ) Is Bringing us to this point.
Yet a Greater wonder is when we know that He Will Bring each and every human ever born to this
point and way beyond in due time.

Romans 11:33:
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!  how unsearchable are his
judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Ephesians 3:8:
To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to make known among the
gentiles the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ,

All Praise and Honor and Glory To GOD and Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hi George,


--- Quote ---Does leaving the Catholic church constitute leaving “my first love?” Or does leaving the Catholic church, WCG & Jeff Priddy combined constitute leaving “my first love?”
--- End quote ---


Those churches were not your 'first love' Jesus Christ was.  As I look at it, we lost our first love in short order, at least I think I did. 

I was raised in the Baptist church and quite attending when I was a teen.  I do not think I really knew Christ while there at all, because I did not take a serious interest in religion.  But as a young adult I became interested and attended a Baptist a few times, but I heard Herbert Armstrong on TV and that began a 15 year journey with WWCG.  I was seriously seeking and that was when I really understood something about Jesus.  That to me was my 'first love.'  I left WWCG and went to a Baptist church for 10 years.  But I had left my first love way back in WWCG when I was trying so hard to keep the letter of the law and man made traditions of the church.

Now I put my faith and trust in the sovereignty of God, I know there is nothing I can do, it is all the spirit within.

mercy, peace and love

Hi guys!
It is amazing how we have all come out of something! I was a Seventh Day Adventist for 20 years!  I have been on journey of discovery ever since I left. I guess I was on that journey when I went there, too.  I cannot tell you of the number of times I heard and read those words, "Come out of her my people..." The Adventist Church identifies Mystery Babylon as every other church Except the SDA church (Actually beginning with the Catholic church they call it 'the Mother of harlots')! I am thankful that God has called me out of that mindset!! He has shown me a much better way! It is astounding when you really begin to understand the scriptures! I still have LOTS to learn ;D
Thanks to everyone who helps me understand. :-*

It was always awful with no one to explain to me why---Since I returned to Jesus (rather He called me) then why did I leave the church,(what was wrong with me and was it I was just destined to be unfaithful?) I get mixed up on these conversations but that Babylon conversation----I remember the Spirit calling me Israel and it took me a long time to figure that one out, then most of my friends were becoming Zionists and I tried to tell them of the heavenly Jerusalem but no one listened so I figured I had no right to quote scripture since I seemed to mess it up. Boy, it's nice to be here!! Judy

Hello, My first love was when I was a child and I had not believed the lies of Mystery Babylon. Then, I grew up and had a life of sin. I then repented, but thought I needed to get into a church. The church is good for the milk, but not good for meat. I never felt like they were right on everything, but little did I know that I began  to believe a bunch of lies. When, I was a child I just saw God as Love. It was all in his plan that we take the journey we take. Now, I am where he wants me. I am in the spirit and whole truth. I have dis-owned the Babylon teachings. I am in the race and only he could have placed me there. Now, I am learning with others who are in the same race.  Truth truly sets you free from the false teachings. I still love all who are lost in it. But, I now know that it is of him. I do not worry about there safety. Its just wonderful knowing that this hard life we face here is not forever. It is more wonderful to know Hell is a lie of Satan. I thank God each and every day of showing me his truths and giving all you forum members as Brothers and Sisters to share our problems and also mainly to edify each other with our gifts the Lord has given each of us.

In His Love,
Marlene
