Then he is more than a theologian and his transformation in behavior, thinking, verbiage and in writings will reflect the knowledge from the encounter.
You would think that individual would be good to go. Patience and perseverance though.
Probably in the same way Peter and Paul agreed, not necessarily. The foundation upon which they rest their faith is larger and stronger, but that doesn't mean the the fringe is the same, because encounters with God are about subjects close to the heart. For some people it is one thing, for others it is about something else. Not everyone gets John the Revelation type of experience, sometimes it is the prayer shawl eye opener for a soon coming change in attitude towards your fellow man, and other times it is conversation with an angel [ entertaining an angel unawares]. Does that mean that they would agree with me? Actually, I have found that when spiritual experienced people meet, they "know" that God has been with them, and we connect on a level that is not theology but reality. It is always a blessing to connect.
Truth, very astute
Today, it would be considered a fringe matter since this issue is hardly ever brought up in churches, nor can it be found in their doctrines.
It is revealed and pertinent in that one will not be able to bring unity under God through Christ without being of the law fully and without sin as they will be circumcised of sin and reborn in the spirit wholly under God by way of sacrifice of sin within self and release and payment for previous sin as it is paid for by the sacrifice of the Christ the son of God.
Yep.. far in the wrong direction.. it should still be very important, but alas Acts 15 rules mostly don't even enter into today's Christian mind... in fact, thinking about all that delicious rare steak with blood still running in it... hmmm.. most do not see the connection.
Example... but in the minds of most Christians it is not pivotal to their own personal lives.
The slaughter of a halal animal is called "zabihah" and there are certain guidelines to follow: Allah's (God's) name must be pronounced during slaughter. Offering food is one of the oldest and most common rituals in Buddhism and have you ever wondered why you find Buddha in restaurants.
We all know those who claim to be Christian and practice those things that are considered sexually immoral.
And with current pressure on for Pastor to condone same sex by performing marriage ceremonies, sexual immorality is gaining ground. Sexual immorality is defined pretty clearly by Yeshua in
and we know many adulteries and adulterers within the Christian community going from the priests and pastors on down through the ranks.
Like I said before, many Christians love a blood steak. No thought is given to the fact that we are suppose to not consume blood. Never is it preached from the pulpit that it is not ok. In fact, none of the above is preached in Churches. Acts 15 is only used as an excuse to void the law.
All sin is idolatry as it all places something against God's will over gods will.
