Shadmans thoughts

I have read some of the book and I want to make a new term for this. It is performance based Christian living. It means you try to be somebody that you are suppose to be because if your not your a bad person. It is not a good thing to be in your walk. I say it again that if your pastor said you have to behave to be close to Jesus your pastor is not good and you better fire him next time you can. It is a sham to tell you your more like Jesus if you wear a certain idea, listen to a certain kind of music, hang with only people from your church or go to a counselor that is not from your church. If your potluck talk is about how church across the road is this and that or this person is not growing because they dress in jeans. If one disagrees with a topic and speaks out on it and the leader said it is not being unified to think a way the pastor said to is a wrong friend. I rode in a car where I was yelled at for thinking Calvinism is a thing that is good and right. Friend that is abusive and if they did it to you leave your church. I want to see pastors serve in humbleness not demand my obeying them when they are wrong and tell me not to email people or not to come to his church because they are preaching thing that are not right and confronting them is not ok.

I think the things in the word I am hitting are going to help us tonight in this abuse

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Allow me to hit this from the prospective that Jesus came to die for us and to know how it felt to die so that he can help people. Jesus became a human and he felt all the things there is to feel. So now Jesus can relate to the pain of rejection we feel when people say things to us that hurt us. Jesus can relate to people that are hurting and feel alone. If you want to talk about being rejected Jesus was killed and rejected by every one of his friends. He knows what it is like to be told your not ok to be in church. He was escorted out of town and they were going to toss him off a cliff at the time he said he was the One they were looking for.


16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Jesus did not save the angels that fell. Salvation is a man thing and someday we are going to explain to Gods servants what it was like to be totally hopeless and Jesus giving us life forever. It is a grand thing to be a man who was on his way to hell and to be picked to have the gospel given to me and be given the faith to take Jesus at his word, I am now going to heaven forever and to think the fallen angels have nothing to look forward to but hell. I am bound for heaven on grace alone.
