Recently someone who disagreed with what I had to say on somebody’s blog was, yet again, unable to actually stick with her convictions and had to add phrases like “I respect you and your desire to obey the Scriptures as you understand them” and “praise God for what He has shown to each of us in His word” to her reply, after exerting a lot of effort refuting what I had pointed out before.

Well, while I am aware of the fact that such phrases are meant to keep the conversation friendly, they are much much more than just Christian candy coating:  They are blasphemy.  You think that’s my way of ego self defense and that I am overreacting ?  If you do, consider the following Scriptures:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” (Pro 3:5)

“For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” (1Co 14:33)

“And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.” (2Pe 1:19-20)

Incidentally, the lady in question doesn’t even practice what she spent so much time preaching, as one can see on her blog.

It is fascinating that modern day Christianity is still studying, studying and studying those things that are simply a matter of obedience.  One would think that after all this time, it would have been possible to move on to the more substantial matters.  Will they ever come closer to the truth (2Ti 3:7)?

Joh 14:15  “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
