We need to question everything we hear from man by holding it up to the Bible measuring stick.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808679812939188136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095861755005032715.post-7365665381208243522013-03-05T09:56:16.090-08:002013-03-05T09:56:16.090-08:00The whole pope thing is very interesting. My husba...The whole pope thing is very interesting. My husband grew up Catholic, so even though it's a little foreign to me, many of his relatives are still in that mindset.<br /><br />You know, I thought for a second about not include those names, but then I thought, no, I know too many people who are being influenced by these people and their corrupt teaching is so subtle that you could get caught up in it without realizing it. <br /><br />It's scary. <br /><br />And, you're right, we aren't very far away from persecution. We get our rights as parents challenged all the time, it's evident with homeschooling. <br /><br />And that's scary.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693340280133115539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095861755005032715.post-50243242163896285082013-03-05T07:04:06.744-08:002013-03-05T07:04:06.744-08:00It was rather apropos to read about how the Cathol...It was rather apropos to read about how the Catholic church esteems their pope as the head...since at this moment, they have no pope!<br /><br />What a great example in John Huss of someone who truly followed His master and submitted to His will COMPLETELY! Just yesterday in Mystery of History, we were studying Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and I was trying to really, really impress upon the children the absolute obligation to obey Christ NO MATTER WHAT. No matter how much pain and/or ridicule it may cause. That pain and/or ridicule is just a passing moment in Eternity. With the world (and our country) heading in the direction it is, I don't think we're that far away from actual, painful persecution in this country. (Of course we already deal with persecution: God out of school, etc., but I'm talking about persecution like in N. Korea, China.) Will we stand up for our Master?<br /><br />About traditions and the evolution of those traditions: I was going to mention Joel Osteen (and wondered if I would offend you!), but you beat me to it. I find so many of the churches these days are straying farther and farther away in the name of being an "oasis church", in the name of attracting more of the unchurched. While bringing the unchurched in is certainly a very worthy goal, churches should not be doing so at the price of abandoning the Bible at the pulpit. I have only listened to one of Joel Osteen's sermons on TV, but in that sermon, he did not crack the Bible open ONCE! It was like a motivational speech. Yet he attracts thousands who, because of his leadership, think this is what the Christian life should be like. It is subtle. And it is continuing to evolve.<br /><br />OK - I've rambled on enough. For now anyway. :) We are headed to ice skating. Maybe I'll add more later. Lots to think about. :)Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808679812939188136noreply@blogger.com
