We need to have all the correct answers about all spiritual matters in order to truly understand and appreciate God’s divine wisdom. However, it is disheartening to witness how church members often find themselves entangled in arguments and divisions over minor nonessential issues. This unfortunate reality becomes even more evident when pride takes hold, causing believers to break fellowship with one another. It was during one of these instances that I encountered someone who challenged my beliefs regarding dispensationalism – a topic that could easily be replaced by any other theological subject.

 

Far too frequently, we see believers separating themselves from their fellow brother and sisters over disagreements on insignificant matters. Instead, let us focus on what truly matters and give importance to essential aspects of our faith while treating the less significant ones as minor details. Failure to do so can lead to a breakdown in fellowship among believers, much like what transpired between a former friend of mine and myself. We must remember that God does not delight in such dissension; rather, it is the devil who revels in sowing discord among His children through wrong ideas about God. I encourage you to major on the majors and minor on the minors. God does not delight in this type of dissension behavior, but the devil does! I encourage you to share you understanding with others, but do not let that be the cause of ending a friendship. My mom used to tell me that you should not talk about politics or religion. I amend her statement, by adding, ONLY if you can talk and listen peacefully. ~ Bill Greguska
Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

 

Do You Have Questionable Ideas About God?

WRONG IDEAS ABOUT GOD THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE:

 

1. GOOSEBUMPS, GOD ~

Some people think that if God is real, we would always “feel Him.” It does not say that in the Bible.

 

2. SMOOTH SAILING GOD ~

Some people think that if bad things happen to “good people,” God must not be a good or real God.

 

3. KILLJOY GOD ~

Some people feel that God constricts them with rules in the name of God, and they can not have any fun.

 

4. ON-DEMAND GOD ~

Some people think that if God does not answer our prayers, He must not be a good or real God.

 

5. VENDING MACHINE GOD ~

Some people use God like a vending machine to get what they want from Him.

 

6. ANTI-SCIENCE GOD ~

Some college students have been forced to think they must choose between God and science, which is invalid.

 

7. GAP GOD ~

Some people explain whatever is unexplainable in terms of luck or good fortune.

 

8. GUILT GOD ~

Some people think that God is not a God of guilt, but he is a God of love, mercy, and grace in reality.

Satan Is Using Christians To Divide The Church Over This!

As We Grow In Our Christian Faith, We Understand More Clearly!

I have learned over the years that God did not give us the 10 Commandments to wreck any possible fun we could have. No, He did so to protect us from ourselves and give us good orderly direction (G.O.D.).
I learned that God gave us all free will to love him freely, not like programmed robots. God is not a God of guilt, but he has given us all a conscience that knows right from wrong and good from evil, which some people consider a shame God.
If you think about your own life, you too will see that what you once learned and believed as a child, hopefully, developed into a more mature understanding of who God is, not what our imaginations or those who informed us might have said inappropriately. Below are eight misleading notions many people have learned in the past, only to discover they were inaccurate. ~ Bill Greguska
