Comments on: Walking out… http://designministry.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/walking-out/ designer + seminary + southern california Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:12:17 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Michael http://designministry.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/walking-out/#comment-707 Michael Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:48:49 +0000 http://designministry.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/walking-out/#comment-707 I see this post is sorta old but its still relevant b/c the churches today are predominantly teaching a sugar coated message that doesn't nurture or grow anyone's faith with God or in God. Not that "all" churches are bad, but most do not know the Bible, and instead teach profound theological error upon error upon error so the end result is a spiritual relationship that is void at best. What I have learned about the Bible in the last few years are beyond fathomable amazement! I say that not because I am anything special but because God's Word is so rich with treasures that are being withheld knowingly and unknowingly from the people of God. For example, teaching that Hell is not a place, but rather an event whereby all the wicked are destroyed and not tormented forever would be frowned upon but the Bible about their destruction that "they shall be as though they had not been" (Oba. 1:16) and "they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet" (Mal. 4:1-3). God is not a God that takes pleasure in the death of the wicked (Eze. 33:11) but wants people to turn from sin for He has not set before them eternal life in Hell or eternal life in Heaven, but life or death, each eternal in effect (Deu. 30:10). Most teach Satan is some ruler over Hell but God pronounces Satan's death sentence saying "I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." (Eze. 28:18-19) People say that we go to Heaven at death this is because they believe the soul cannot die. The Bible however says "the soul that sinneth, it shall die." (Eze 18:4) Lazarus didn't go to Heaven at death and neither will we, but we shall await the resurrection at Christ's coming (1Th. 4:16) of which Lazarus' case was an example to us. There are so many gigantic faith-building Truths in the Bible being suppressed and hidden by the churches today it is no wonder church goers are largely lacking understanding and a real faith in God. Churchianity today is drunk with the confusion of Babylon's wine (false doctrines), unable to come to a knowledge of the Truth. God (not me) calls the Christian church "Babylon" in the book of Revelation and it is no wonder, for her spiritual whoredoms have reached their limit and so God declares "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." (Rev 18:4-5) I've been blessed to find a real Bible teaching, Bible believing, Truth teaching church in Arcadia, not far from Fuller. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before. It's amazing to hear the power of the Word when it is backed by Truth. Checkout the www.cartereport.org and stop by. If for no other reason, stop by to hear and see how the Word is being preached there. Or even watch one of their videos online.

I'm not a seminary student or ordained, but I know listening for God's call helps sometimes. You've got an interesting story, thanks for sharing. I wish you the best.
