I agr...<b>Many Christians use the Bible for an agenda</b><br /><br />I agree. It seems this is more true at different points in history than others. The sad thing is that I see marginalizing scripture as a way of achieving that agenda becoming more common. A reason for our loss of moral authority in the culture is because moral authority has been abandoned in many pulpits. The world is always going to be the world. When the church begins to appeal to the world in an effort to be more "relevant" we lose what makes us unique.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-78049088902557802222014-04-03T11:55:18.207-06:002014-04-03T11:55:18.207-06:00Context, is the most Import part of the CWV. Many ...Context, is the most Import part of the CWV. Many Christians use the Bible for an agenda and even convince themselves of their own deceit. Such as it is, the Bible is not a workbook it is a concept of eternal truth and that truth is Christ, Some preach the Word in vain or vanity as they center their selves through pride in the Word instead of Christ. When I read the Bible I always try to keep in mind that everything in that document is about him, and not me or what I want.Outlaw Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745709735739815102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-68938527544786125052014-04-03T08:39:41.228-06:002014-04-03T08:39:41.228-06:00I think part of the reason why God sometimes punis...I think part of the reason why God sometimes punishes harshly is not just for the disobedience, but because God can see the big picture, and He knows what the consequences of disobedience bring.<br /><br />For example, this World is now paying the price of Sarah's impatience with regards to Islam and muslim invasions into Europe and this Country.<br /><br />Second example, Saul refused to obey God with regards to the total destruction of the Amalekite nation. Jump forward a few generations to Esther. Haman was a descendent of what were called the Agagites. Who in reality were descendents of Agag the Amalekite king Saul did not destroy.<br /><br />With regards to Job and his friends, I look upon your example as more accusatory by the friends.<br />You can see that if you go on Breitbart or where ever there is a religion based posting. The seculars usually come at you with "how do you know this is true if I don't?" Kind of like Job's friends. Some people don't react kindly to you knowing something which they themselves do not.<br />Another winner post Res.Susannoreply@blogger.com
