Speaking Out for God
September 2nd 2008 14:50
Some people ask: “Why do speak of God and Jesus, why don’t you let people discover Christianity on their own if they are going to” or “What gives you the right to talk to people regarding Christianity?” Here is my answer and it comes straight from the bible:
The Power to speak comes right from God in Acts 8: “Be My witness”—Are we ready to teach others as it is asked of us?
When I hear someone lie about Christ or God above in an effort to facilitate their agenda, their hatred, etc., I am reminded of God and Jesus commanding us to teach and go out to make disciples- So, one thing sets the true Christian apart from people using it as a title or means of social satisfaction and that is: will you cower and say nothing or stand up and proclaim?

You might find reading what has been interpreted in the Dead Sea Scrolls beneficial. In them, you will find The Teacher of Righteousness, who happened to precede Jesus by over one hundred years! Much of what has been credited to have been said by Jesus, was taken from his sayings.
Please remember that nothing was written down about Jesus for over 30 years after Golgotha.
The Christ spirit is of love, kindness, devotion, obedience and a sense of community -- all noble goals. This spirit seems to have been inhabited by Jesus. When we share our faiths, we should emphasize these the most.
I would never tell anyone to "shut up" about his/her religion. I would just caution the speaker to do the homework before attempting to cite Biblical references. There is just too much contradiction for many of us to take it as the Almighty's own words. Please remember, if you want to ASSUME the Bible is God's word, you will have to take the credit given for slaughters and other misdeeds as from God Himself or his angels.
I do not believe the God of love espouses these..

Anonymous, maybe you're new to Orble, so I'll give you a "heads up." If you want to be noticed or read, you might want to use your name and explain your agenda a little better. "Anonymous" doesn't get a lot of traffic.

Therefore what is in the holy bible is what I will continue to teach, you are free to believe what ever you want that is the point behind free will. You believe what you want and we Christians will believe the bible. Thanks for your time and your opinion on this matter.
