Hearing the Spirit of Truth.
The words of the Spirit; “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Rev. 2:29)
There are those who have ears to hear what the Spirit says...and those who don’t because religious fables have made them dull of hearing. The former listen to and are able to discern the Spirit of Truth when He speaks. The latter have tuned out the voice of the Spirit and comfortably disregard truth, while choosing to listen to and believe in the religious fables of denominationalism, man-made doctrines and tradition.
With regard to the religious deception of people caught in the religious trap of mixing grace and law of the religious system and calling it the gospel, just about every single institution...if not all...have succumbed to this deception. The sad case is that only a small percentage of religious deceptionized people will cast aside the fabled denominated teachings of their seminarian denominated professional so they can hear and recognize what the real truth of the gospel of grace is. While a much larger percentage of the religionists snub and despise grace truth by calling it hyper, greasy, sinning and false, not realizing they are despising Jesus Christ as well as His Gospel, as did the religious self-righteous people of His day.
The segregation of Christ Body into denominated name-tagged buildings that are called churches....is indeed a definitive religious issue of our times...even though religion does not think so. It is the issue that separates the Baptist from the Lutheran, and the Pentecostal Trinitarians from the Pentecostal Oneness, the Methodist from the Catholics...etc.. All religions wallow in religious inverted realities allowing them to believe religious fables as truth.
Denominational segregation is the major reason that the unity of Christ's Body... that Christ prayed to happen...is so disunited and divided into segregated denominated buildings.
"He that has ears to hear" listen to the voice of the Spirit.

Your conclusion that I have set myself "up as the only one who hears from Spirit of Truth" is indicative of your inability to assimilate what you read. The caption I put up reads "There are those who have ears to hear what the Spirit says". Many I be so bold as to give you a basic English lesson to lessen you ignorance of the language. The word "those" is in the plural form...meaning more than "one" .
DeleteWhat we call greasy and hyper is not the true grace message that Paul preached but the false grace we are hearing so much about these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat was it that was dividing the churches of Paul`s day when there weren't any denominations around?
Corinthians 1:10-15King James Version (KJV)
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
If we are not hearing the Spirit of truth then we will blame it on denominations.
