The Christian Precept (1) by josiahakin90(m): 8:21pm On Dec 13, 2017
Some fear Hell fire even more than they fear God himself, and they have because of this particular reason withdrawn themselves totally from fluently or freely interacting with fellow being like them, these are the set of people who always thinks only their own pattern of dress and dressing codes is right and acceptable before God, only their own church is the gateway to heaven, always sees anyone who comes late to church as a backslider or brutal sinner even without knowing the reason for the lateness,they feels like only they are holy and faithful, and the most funniest part is when they start to boldly confront you with their what I term to be "
self manufactured doctrines of heaven", you will be surprised and sad at the bondage some of these so called Christians have shoehorned themselves when they start to enumerate and analyse these "self manufactured doctrines of heaven",don't do this, don't do that, don't eat this, don't touch that and many more nonsensical theories that are not
biblically established or inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The christian precept (2)
These set of people are the ones who always build new converts on the principal of "do and don't",they failed to establish the heart of new converts on Christ's words and principals,they failed in committing the hearts of new converts to the hands of the Holy Spirit, they failed in letting sinners newly turned saint know the illuminating works of the Holy Spirit ,but they will always try to instill the fear of hell fire,lake of fire, and so on into their hearts, not knowing that the fear for hell fire only will not take them to heaven. It seems they do not know that building yourself as a Christians or new converts on the foundation of "do and don't will never make you live a happy Christian life and the truth remains that your days as a Christian are numbered the moment you start building yourself on the principals of do and don't. I see so much contention and division in the Christiandom today, people are willing to follow the doctrines of men(what I termed self manufactured doctrines of heaven)rather than that which is glaringly analysed either by the Bible or the Holy Spirit. People are failing to see the Holy Spirit as their core motivator and inspirationist in the Christian journey to heaven, they have totally neglect their Bible and the Holy Spirit and gone after the opinions and words of men, and until they see the need to return to their power house which is the Holy Spirit for instructions,wisdom and guidance, then I see no end to these contentions and division.
