Culture and Christianity

[Jesus_is_LORD]

3 things are important in reaching a new convert my beloved.
The word,the Holy Spirit and a human connection of some kind. Those 3 are vital.
Phillip and the eunuch is a great example. All your other jargon is only fluff.
My beloved

Thanks for the reply.

Let me give you a chance to unpack your ideas before I reply.
You state the human connection. Ok, good good. I agree.

Now you add, "All your other jaron is only fluff".

Please share with me what jargon you are speaking of. And please quote
what I said that was jargon. Please quote, don't tell me what you believe
I mean, but quote what I said, and what your interpretation of it was
and how you see it as jargon.

Thanks.

So tell me

(1) Do you teach salvation?

(2) How do you teach it ?( give me a specific situation when you last did it)

You wouldnt understand it.
I perceive you were educated at college and by you intellectual tone and the way you try and talk down to me,you feel i am inferior to you vast knowledge.
Fact of the matter is,my beloved,you are what is referred to as an educated fool. You are so wise in your conceit that you cant figure out ordinary problems.
I dont know you personally and pray i dont falsely accuse you. But seem to be the new young liberals who are infiltrating the church.
If you have trouble getting the gospel across to 14 year old, i cant help ya.
God bless my beloved.

 

[Jesus_is_LORD]

No son,my beloved,it is that i am old and in my day we knew how to communicate. A quick,precise,short paragraph is all thats needed. Anymore and i start thinking you are trying to convince youself.
My old people ways......now theres culture for you my beloved.

Your culture is to ask a question using enough fodder to fill a Sears catalog.
God bless my beloved

My brother in Christ has jokes.

I love it.

And I think you just illustrated my point so beautifully about understanding culture and the value.
Thanks. No more needed on that point, you did a great job in illustrating it.

Rom 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. (NLT)

It is interesting that all humans originated from one man and now they have their own culture in every part of this world.

God is now bringing every nation back into his own culture where its native language is faith. How do I know that the official language of Heaven is faith because whatever is not of faith is sin?
(Romans 14:23) There is no sin in God's culture.

Act 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Act 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

I'm not having trouble getting the gospel across.
I'm trying to ask you how are you doing it.

I'm no liberal my friend.

No, I do not believe in abortion,
I do not believe in gay marriage
I do not support transgender moment, should I continue?

And please tell me how did I talk down to you?
I'm curious.

Are you biased towards my vocabulary?
Because I speak a certain way do you feel intimated and then project your feelings
as to me looking down on you?

I apologize if you feel that way but I'm no better than you because I have degrees. I just am
communicating the same things you are using different words.

The same way when you talk to a Christian with less Bible knowledge and you talk about the Greek and Hebrew.
That is not because you are looking down on them. You are simply sharing what you know. I apologize if my vocabulary
makes you feel as if I think I'm better. I know I'm not better than anyone, that is just how I talk based on my study.

You bring up an interesting point to consider.

That is, how will things be in heaven. Things will be different, and how does that impact us here and now?

For example, in earth there is marriage and different cultures do marriage differently. Some cultures have polygamy,
others have child marriages, etc, etc. Obviously Christians know that marriage is one man and one woman.

Now, remember that Jesus said when they asked Him the question about marriages in heaven. He stated that there
are no marriages in heaven. And to your point, the "culture" in heaven will be different. There are no marriages in heaven.
But does that mean that while on earth I say, "I'm not going to marry" because in heaven there is no marriage
and marriage is a earthly cultural thing?

Thanks for the reply, All you need is a computer, or phone, or tablet. It can work with your phone camera.

Check with your husband and hopefully he will be able to assist. Simply just go to that link at the time.
You can put that link in your phone as well doxy.me/walanehpom . Hope to see you there.
