Spiritual Christians Vs. Logical Christians : Where Do You Stand? by Tonyet1(m): 5:47pm On Aug 12, 2009
Isnt it unfortunate to know that we the last days Xtians are beginning to succomb too quick to the attacks from the world and her ideas. A little issue to defend better we rather choose to drift to the idea our senses give us and even approach the scriptures biased.

Take for example:

DRESSING

1Peter.3 - goes on to teach us how important it is for women to adorn themselves such that there appearances will lead unbelievers to Christ

Sooner than expected, we began seeing xtians putting on all sorts of detestful makeovers, when approached, you hear us saying things like "God is much interested in the heart and not what we put on" pants were introduced and today we scarely differentiate btw that of models/prostitutes with God's people

rather than look and learn, Sinners look and laugh.


TATTOO/BODY PIERCING

Even a simple topic as this one, we still find ourselves trying to be careful so that we dont hurt the so-called hurters. i gat myself asking what is happening to us. well maybe its because we've all accepted that Jesus Christ has abolished the law while am yet to find a portion that clearly stated that christ ABOLISHED THE LAW, maybe Christians are yet to understand the differences btw THE LAW and THE ORDINANCE of the old testament.

TITHEING


Matt 23:23
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices — mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law — justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
NIV


Recall that this scripture was cited from the new testament, today alot of critics say that christ never gave tithe as a standard, but reading carefully, you'll find it plainly said "you should practise the latter, without neglecting the former. What then is happening to us, sooner this logical xtians and their reasoning will get us all thinking that offerings are also old testamental hence no need for the church

Re: Spiritual Christians Vs. Logical Christians : Where Do You Stand?
Neither. I stand with the Bible Christians.

-Do you know it is possible for 2 christians to believe differently about something and both be right?

Rom 14
1. Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.
2. One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak,
eats only vegetables.
3. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and
the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does,
for God has accepted him
.
4. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls.
And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

5. One man considers one day more sacred than another;
another man considers every day alike
. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
6. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat,
eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains,
does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.



  Tonye you're trying to project your personal convictions on disputable matters such as tithing, tatooing etc onto other christians and that is wrong.
