Ok I got some things to think about. I do not think we are able to apply the culture we live in to the Bible because then I think we lose the meaning of the bible. I think we need to understand the time the bible is in and what it means to the people of that time and then apply it to this time. Case and point. Pastors are to be men. I think the bible forbids woman to lead a church because it did not allow it at that time so it does not allow it in this time. But also I think to apply the bible to this culture and make it conform to 2008 USA is not the thing we do. Then we could make it different in the land of Iraq to fit them and the land of South Asia to fit that lifestyle then what you got is a church that is not in unity around the world. If you got one set of commands in the church in Asia and another in South Texas then one must be wrong or off. If in china we thing drinking a strong drink is ok but in Rome it is not ok then there is a split and this is not the same Body of Jesus. We need to see what the bible means and apply it the same in every place it is thought. So lets look at a concept that I think we need to. I got this I think when I was at work and It is far cool.
1 Jn 5 lThis is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that mGod is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 nIf we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we owalk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and pthe blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we qconfess our sins, He is rfaithful and just to forgive us our sins and to scleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we tmake Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
2 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, awe have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And bHe Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but calso for the whole world.
Jesus blood forgave all sins. We need to know this if we know Jesus and he has saved us. If we have placed our trust in his work on the cross to forgive and we have confessed him our sins are forgiven. But we are told to keep confessing our sins so we realize that we are in need of his grace. So if you are not confessing your sins it might be your not in tune in your walk. John said that if we say we are perfect we lie.
Do we walk in light or do we walk in the darkness. In Jesus there is no darkness and darkness is sin and the yucky junk of fithy things. Friend light is the ways of Jesus and the pure thinker. Now if we walk in the sin we are not really right with Jesus but if we walk in Jesus and slip Jesus forgives us and makes us clean before the Lord and we then can know the power of Jesus and Gods love. We all need to keep short accounts of sin with Jesus meaning when we fall we confess it and then forget it and claim the blood. Now if your not confessing it is something you can do. Turn this machine off and pray to the Lord asking him to convict you of anything and the agree and turn from it. It might mean you need to ask Jesus to forgive your sins for the first time and ask him to live in you. It is easy to do. Just ask Jesus to forgive you off all your sins and ask him to live in you as your lord and king. If you do this let me know. If you do read the bible in the book of John and tell the Lord all you are about as you would your best friend and ask him to help you with anything you need and he will. That is a friendship with Jesus and that is the best thing you can ever do is to be a friend of Jesus
