I am Baptist, Orthodox, Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal, - TopicsExpress

I am Baptist, Orthodox, Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal, Protestant, etc, Dont all these faiths or denominations ALL CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS? But yet, there is so much division, hatred, strife, discord among those who all claim to be God children towards Other CHRISTIANS who are not of their denomination. Im sorry, I thought Mary represented Love, I thought Jesus represented Love, Didnt Jesus say, The World will know that you are MY DISCIPLES BY THE LOVE YOU SHOW TO ONE ANOTHER? BUT, YOU MAY FEEL THAT My Pastor doesnt teach on the Kingdom, so I dont allow myself to listen, or read about anyones post if they are NOT of My same denomination or faith, or religion, or if their views or beliefs do not agree with My Pastors, or mines....I ask you people who claim to be of God...Who is the higher Authority in your life? Your Pastor or Jesus? How about who has the Higher Rank? Mary the earthly mother of Jesus or Jesus himself? Which one died for your sins? Was it Mary? Or Jesus? Which One claims to be the Lord of All? Mary or Jesus? I ask you, those who claim to believe in Jesus but place Mary above Jesus, or see Jesus as a distant relative to Mary...Jesus asked the disciples of His, Who do MEN SAY THAT I AM? Then, He asked HIS OWN DISCIPLES, the same question? The bible clearly teaches us that they responded by saying; YOU ALONE ARE THE MESSIAH....THE HOLY ONE OF GOD. John the Baptist recognized Jesus as being the Anointed King or Anointed One who had come to take the sin of the world away? Besides being a willing humble vessel used unto God for Gods purposes? What other reason would we give Mary More Honor and Worship, Why would we pledge our allegiance to Mary? Or ascribe worship unto her? Friends, the BIBLE TEACHES us in 1 Corinthians 1:10 - Now I exhort you, (brethren), by the NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, that YOU ALL AGREE, and there BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU, but you be MADE COMPLETE in the SAME MIND and in the SAME JUDGEMENT. (New American Standard Version), Now the King James Version says it this way: Now I beseech you, brethren, by the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that you ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING, and that there be NO Divisions among You; but that you be perfectly joined together in the Same mind and in the same judgment. The bible teaches us, (aside from what your church may teach you), that there is One body, and One Spirit, even as we are called in one hope of your calling; ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD and FATHER OF ALL, who is above All, and through all, and in you all. John the Baptist made ready for the Way of the Lord, calling in the desert, prepare the Way of the Lord, Make straight paths for Him. John the Baptist knew exactly Who this Jesus was. In Matthew 3:16, after Jesus was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he Saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a VOICE OUT OF THE HEAVENS SAID, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL-PLEASED. Friends, I honor Mary the Mother of Jesus....I respect her, without her being a willing vessel, we would not been able to have the Son of God within the earth realm, unless God chose another vessel to use, but I have never seen Mary being given any delegated authority from On High, to the same decree that the Son of Man, Son of God received. Matthew 28:18 says of Jesus All AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME (In heaven or from heaven), and On the earth as the Son of Man, for what purpose? We will learn about the purpose in a later post friends. But for now, My question is to those who claim to be of the body of Christ? How many bodies of Christ are their? Is your denomination the ONLY body of Christ? I have been told that the western bible we use is incomplete, or many various important books of the bible has been left out to support why you feel the way you do concerning Mary the earthly Mother of Jesus.... Please by all means, speak up, If you are so convinced that everyone else is in error and your the only ones who have the complete Word of God, then share your faith with me....show me How or Why I am in error... One thing is True, we need to ALL come on one accord, with the same mind, same love, same speech, if we claim to be all believers in Christ Jesus I have had people who claim to love Jesus, end their friendship with me because I am NOT ORTHODOX..... HAVE WE SO QUICKLY FORGOTTEN THAT THE WORLD IS WATCHING US, EVERYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A CHILD OF GOD....DONT YOU THINK THEY CAN SMELL THE HYPOCRISY, THE PRETENTION OF LOVE, THAT TAKES PLACE WITHIN THE CHURCH.
