Marriage

[christlovedeaf]

Today, i was thinking about the marriage symbols and the meaning and how the couple achieve in their relationship. The key marriage success is communication and love. Let's look at for an example. When you were born in the family, and growing up, and somewhere along the way, you met someone and fall in love, then later got married. There is no 3rd party in the marriage (that is when bride join the groom to become one flesh). During their married life, things gone bad. What was the problem? In-laws constant interfere, the wife fears of her family than her own husband, because fear will lose wealth or possession from her family, and marriage shambled, since the groom cant get thru her, bec her parents dominate. This is similar in spiritual life. We in family of the world (darkness), when a person heard about Jesus Christ, and fall in love, married Jesus ( recieved Christ in his/her life). Here what has happen, during their married life, 3rd party (world) influence in christian life, no communication(deeper genuine prayer), christian get caught up/entangled by the world, not only that, even they can be very active in church, which is being very relious, but poor relationship with God, and also, many become open minded the world's view. There fervent and hot for Jesus growing cold, why? shutting the Holy Spirit from working in their life and become dominate by the "3rd party", their blessing lessen. If you are a christian, which are you, being religious or having relationship with God? Sadly, i seen surmountable deaf in church being so caught up with religion instead of having a relationship with God. Is God set you in holiness or are you trying to be holy? If you trying to be holy, then thats where it goes wrong. Only God is working in your life and set you apart to be holy.If you let God work in and thru your life, the love and the forgiven Spirit will take control in your life. Prayer is more than just a word to say, its more as inner being of worshipping God. Church is the place where christians should gather where Jesus established, and by worshipping God in church and also everyday at your solitary place go hand in hand. You cant separate these two. Living without reading and study the Bible is like going your own way in the desert and get lost and couldnt find the right direction. Worshipping God in prayer and Bible reading also go hand in hand, cant also separate these two. That is experiencing life and God will begin to reveal you the people surrounding you thru your experience and God will show you and you will learn from that. That is why many many people have no idea what God called us to do. The people of the world mind is full of darkness, even how intellegiance they are, but yet, still blinded by the decepters. Jesus died for all mankind, inspite how dark people live in and no matter how horrible life you live in, as it said "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." That's called love. What will be your answer if Jesus propose you? If you never recieve Christ as your personal Savior and Lord. If you are a christian, but living in sinful life or being compromising the world and get caught up with "3rd party", Jesus never will divorce you, He's waiting for you. You may say, you dont know what ive been going thru the way people at church did to me. SO WHAT, Jesus will show them just the same He will show you. Because, i myself been going thru that. It's beautiful. Jesus loves you more than you can imagine and wants YOU, in deeper way. That's why His arms open wide proven His love for you. smile

I agree that people need to want to be close to God... many people just go to church out of habit or tradition... the bible tells us that "faith without works is dead" and this is completely true.

Also people tend to let other opinions effect their beliefs... it's just like having someone offer you drugs and you do them just to be "cool"... it doesn't make it any better... but it's pressure and opinions that people fear...

yes, we do face everyday choices and the consequences follow. right, there is argumentive about faith and works. what James trying to say is that must let God enable us to do for His glory instead of I do something for Him itself. And like it mentioned, does God set us apart for us to become holy in us or are we trying to be holy in our strength and self efforts? There is a big different there. smile

Catholic is full of corruption and greedy. Priests are becoming child molesters. Mafia are regular catholic churchgoers. Many things goes wrong in catholic church thus you have christians lost touch with God and worships earthy.

Sad isn't it?

kingofnoob, even tho im not catholic, but the problem at the church, God will judge them also. But, those who are christians will be judge by works, even tho, works itself doesnt bring salvation. Church not always like that, its depend where and particular person who act ungodly for being greedy and etc. But, try not to be stereotypical about christians and churches.All of this doesnt make me blame them for not being a christian, tho, i am born-again christian, whatever "they" do, doesnt justify me for not being a christian. God will judge me, and each of us the same, but the only different is 2 different judgements, one is Judgement Seat of Christ, that for those who gave their life to Christ and will be judge how we live on earth as of accountability and the other is called, one of the horrific judgement and very sad to see, Great White Throne Judgment, thats the final judgement, is for those who rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, dont misunderstand me and I know what you getting at, its not the same like, if you dont go to church, if you dont follow my religion, God will throw you to hell. It doesnt matter what they do, by rejecting the Lord what He offers us at the cross to bring us to Himself, is the one who will be perish, not destroy. Will be thrown in to everlasting fire and darkness, its not God that thrown people to hell, it is people choices by rejecting God's offer. It is sound harsh, but it will be a reality when time comes, but understand this, God doesnt want you be scared and etc to make you to go to Him, He left you a free will, whether recieve His offer or rejecting, He left it up to you. That's what this is all about. Jesus portraited many illustration about, 10 virgins, why we couldnt get to Heaven inspite of our effort of "good works" and etc. Like I've been said before, disciples asked Jesus with all of that, who can go to Heaven, Jesus simply answer, "Nothing is impossible with God". Sin itself is like trap us from free, Jesus took it all to Himself to bring us, including you, to be with Him forever, not based on what we do. Right, you may ask, so we can sin whatever we want to? No, God forbid it, but why still struggle in it. For you to rely on Him solely. Also, teaching and build us stronger as long we live in obedience, meaning, if i make mistakes, God give up? By no mean, then why christian sin still go to Heaven, but non christian isnt? Simple, His Blood. Thats sound like easy way out. It does sound like it, but wont be a pleasure one when Judgement comes for those who doesnt taking it seriously. The more you grow in relationship, not religiously, with God, the more you will see and getting the point. Human themselves think they do know, but yet shortsighted.

Really, I have not met any priests who want to get in my pant. Corruption and greedy? interest afterall they are most charitable in the world, always help the poor and needy. Why must only good people go to church? Why not bad people, they are one who needs help and need to be saved. It is sad u judge God for created CC and all religions in the world.

Christians are not only people who help poor and needy. There are many good people who doesn't believe in God/Jesus and contribute a lot to poor people. Gandi and Mother Teresa come to mind. They must be rotting in hell right now? Jeebus.

christlovedeaf,

i agree with you - f*k other pp , just focus on yourself and God. who cares about pp in church? Important thing is between you and God.

"For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God; not as result of WORKS, so that no one may boast. " Ephesians 2:8-9
