But never stopped before. Although recognized as heretics convicted by history, and only a few, but each church or individual identified as heresy, and numerous. Reformation heresy charges to be executed before the believers, most of them are not heresy, and killed them thinks the truth in hand, the main way street for people, but rather heresy. This phenomenon is no longer religious reform, but each produced a more extensive exposition of a small heart and my heart Chuaizhao Pope (the ancestor of the root cause of eating tree snake trick can ask who have not executed, then the Cold War abound bickering or small, weakened the state power. Chinese Church history is not long, tangled in the Western church history and deadlocks, and gradually pass over. Different teams, circles, preference, experience of believers, although in a Christ in the same, but began to alienate each other, argue, argument. Gospel in the development, the problem is also developing. Looking forward to brothers and sisters of different orientation, with the return of the Lord Jesus which are unique in the head, one Lord, the Lord earnestly understand the mind (and what is the foundation of faith), not to midges value as an elephant, or the elephant When midges ignored. To tell the truth, raise the issue, not primarily for the unity of the kingdom of Christ, but the growth of life for believers as brothers and sisters see the brothers and sisters in the dispute, has been so damaged their lives, lack of grace.
First, the Bible, how to say
since God so loved the world even as whoever they are, history, entered the age of grace. So in the New Testament
to emphasize two points: first, the love is not love of man, but God's love is the cross that Jesus gave himself unconditionally, and never change the love. Second, the grace of love, the Lord only, only in Christ, among the Christians.
disciples Jesus said, a sign that you love one another. (13:34-35)
law and the prophets Jesus said the master is love: love God. (Matthew 22:37-40)
John even said that does not love does not know God. Because God is love. (About one 4:7-8)
Paul said, and now survive in the faith, hope and love, the greatest is love. He said, If I speak in the tongues of angels, but have not love, I have become empty-ming of the gong, empty sound of the cymbal. He added that if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all the confidence, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. (Columbia ago 13:1-3)
This shows that Christian love is not only the highest principle of individual life is the highest principle of mutual relations.
II, and gave himself to love
Love is the highest principle of the Lord, what does this mean?
what it means to love and lose, damage love, are wrong.
often for what we lose love, love it harm?
is usually very low for some principles, such as:
different social interests, from the disputes, not phase.
circle of different denominations, from the diaphragm, not inclusive.
theological understanding is different from the argument, do not agree.
character orientation is different from the friction, not appreciate.
spiritual experience is different, since differences are not accepted. Because all of these different
between the Christians can not be eliminated forever, so love is the highest principle, it means to sacrifice their own different, accept people's different.
That is, in Christ (in Christ is in truth, the truth of the body is in), only the patient blindly blindly forgive, to love; only have to deny themselves (Self-deny) to love.
Therefore, the If the patient like each other congenial need it? If a discussion of the need for consistent long-lasting to endure it?
three, love in Christ
Please note that the title
Obviously, in Christ, the love of the cross who have solved the crime, that really made the righteousness of God, contains the truth, so love the most.
, of course, if people do not actually pretend to Christ in Christ, then our love is not the largest, it is necessary to expose (not evidence of Christ), arguing (only in Christ to be saved) that to God (God of justice left to the trial.)
So the key is, what is there in Christ?
simply, in Christ, this is he has been justified by faith of the brothers and sisters. Have been justified by God's, it is not heresy, and the remaining disputes is often because: first, the theological idea is different, and the second, spiritual experience different, and the third, worship in different ways, the fourth, sectarian traditions, Fifth, serve different direction, the sixth, with different emphasis on the Bible, and so on.
This is nothing to fight it? We hold on like three sentences: the roots of Jesus, seek common ground, each other.
four, love from Christ to
love comes from God. Only
Jesus on the cross, God did not let him defend himself, did not let his grievance complaint, did not allow him to display their ability to fight and allows the
unprovoked irrational reason he killed those who love him, so he said: ah Father, forgive them, because they do, they do not know!
for love, for the highest, the Lord was sacrificed everything, including his innocence, absolutely right, the mighty invincible, are put aside, leaving only love on the cross.
However, this love, not to include aside all? High love, not always looking down below it all?
if to discuss a clean, if the right to adhere to, if to reveal a large can - although people seem to do it for granted - and lost love, Father, ah, where's Jesus Christ and him crucified ah!
five, love and justice
Some would say that you just talk about love, where God's justice? How do people sin? Heresy and error how to do? This should not argue for the truth?
said first justice of God. Sinners are facing justice trial. God is always righteous altogether without losing side. It is not Christ God must not escape justice. However, before Christ came into the world, in Christ, the Christ within is not the same. Old Testament, God's law and justice is very harsh. New Testament, when God sent his son to the cross, not been completely satisfied by the law of God, God's justice sake of it? So, who are in Christ within, brothers and sisters to love the only grace.
repeat offense. Jesus, that is, to solve the people's sin and death. How a rescue law? Not be with the love of the cross to forgive, redeem, overcome people's sin?
Dear brothers, ah, the people who are in Christ, since it is not subject to trial, but have to redeem it, then we should not judge each other's sins, but should play each other's sins to each other ; to hold high the law should not be brothers again, but his features a grace, this grace is from the cross of our Lord to life, which grace is sufficient to deal with, but also has to deal with our sins. With this grace, only
not Jesus love with the cross a sacrifice to deal with the sin, we have to use the law to judge, to try it? By God to avoid the 10,002,000 bonds of silver, twelve brothers, why can not avoid it? Where in Jesus Christ, since God will not condemn us,UGG boots, we will only accept each other, love each other, ah!
connected to the Old Testament and New Testament are different, can not be separated can not be confused. Where the New Testament in Jesus Christ, that is grace, not from the Torah. This is what the Apostle Paul tried to argue.
Some may say that in Christ, brothers and sisters how to do committed a crime? Jesus said very clearly, and show him to you in a while, point it out, if he listened, you have your brother (even though he repeated as long as you always have to forgive him admit 70 7). If he will not listen, take one or two others along, every word determined the exact time (as if listening to accept him as above.) If he would not listen to (this is the third step), to tell the church (as if listening to accept him as above.) If he still would not listen to see him like a Gentile and a tax collector (we all know how Jesus treated Gentiles and tax collectors - as long as repentance is still saved even more than the Pharisees, the kingdom of God.) Jesus is so delicate, step by step instructions on how to help his brother disciples, lest we lose that love, like the Pharisees as ruthless assertion. (Matthew 18:15-17)
how to deal with When John said, Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, do not follow us, and we forbad him, Jesus answered and said, Forbid him not, because no one in my name, that can, and have actually easy to slander me; When we lost, is to help us. And he said, because you belong to me, and give you a cup of water to drink, I tell you the truth, not lose his reward. (Can 9:38-41) repeat itself broad mind of the Lord, how wise!
to the Lord, instead of the standard we crossed. If we (our own circle, understanding, experience, tradition, to grasp the truth) as the center crossed, we will certainly dispute, will be blamed, will judge that the loss of love, abandoned the Great Commission.
a mature Christian, a spiritual man, carry the cross himself, and not distributed to others the cross, the cross is not supervise others back, but not to nail people cross their responsibility, as the Pharisees and the Roman soldiers did.
(f): Truth and heresy
Jesus said, I am the truth. This I was born, bear witness unto the truth. (John 14:6; 18:37)
Bible says the truth came from Jesus. Body of Jesus is the truth of God. (Gospel of John 1:17; Hebrews 1:3)
Therefore, if a Christian is about Jesus, then he said about the truth (usually is the theological doctrine), but the human understanding of truth, because truth is only one body, that is Jesus. Vastly different understanding of Jesus is unique.
quote the Bible, today's sentence will be even heresy, the sect is an even bigger lead self-serving special verses cited, the parties are bound to the Bible, theologians note I'm not I'm on the Bible. Reading can not remain visible in the words, the Bible said to myself, it kills everything, fine Italian gives life (after Colombia 3:6), but the essence of the whole meaning of the Bible (Holy Spirit) is the testimony of Jesus. Must return to Jesus. It is in the testimony on this point, the whole Bible is indivisible.
yardstick to distinguish heresy, not the people's understanding of truth (including the personal preferences of the Bible words), but the truth itself (witness of Christ throughout the Bible.) So, all professing Christians are not rooted in Christ, is heresy. All professing Christians, the foundation is built on the Bible, the Holy Spirit witness, living out the Christian saints, it is not heresy.
example, Jesus is not God incarnate?
who acknowledge Jesus Christ in the flesh to the spirit, that is, for the Spirit of God. No one who denies the Spirit of Jesus is not from the Spirit of God. (John 4:1-3)
who says Jesus is not fully God, as Jehovah's Witnesses, like the liberals do not recognize the miracles of Jesus, is heresy. The man who says Jesus is not real people, like the Mirage, said the early church, like the non-recognition might follow the example of the idol of Christ is heresy.
another example, is not enshrined in the name of Jesus?
John said, Master, we saw a man driving out demons in your name, we tried to stop him, because he was not following us. Jesus said, Forbid him not, because no one in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. Whoever is not against you, is to help you. (Mark 9:38-40; Luke 9:50) The disciples did not follow that they are heretics, but he was just like my name, now you do not follow it does not matter, as long as whoever is not against you like a . Shows only the name of Jesus, is the definition of heresy or not the criterion.
another example, is not to Jesus as the center, with Jesus one?
gather not to me, that is discrete; not with me is against the. (Matthew 12:30)
ancient Christian heresy,UGG boots clearance, is to treat him problems. Some of salvation in Jesus outside Canada (such as the Mormons), some reduction in the salvation in Jesus (such as Jehovah's Witnesses); Some deny anything, and some add to that; some of Emptiness, Some of; some bogus (such as Eastern Lightning), some use, and so on. Which is not a problem in the treatment of Jesus Christ, no matter how short yell have cried heresy, or even beheaded fire, not a heresy. Such as not observing the Sabbath, eating forbidden things, baby baptism, a woman to teach, women do not hooded, do not listen to the Pope, point out problems, self-reading, independent worship, spirituality, and so the wilderness, history shows that as these heretics are not God . Similarly, some people now hold on to distinguish heresy standards, such as speaking in tongues say, shoot do not clap, jump do not dance,UGG shoes, doctors are not doctors and patients, not in a hurry to catch a ghost, cry cry crimes, admits the five-point Calvinism, The solution is not spiritually, not the pursuit of chasing the gift, too, but the inner life, etc., although these things are often one-sided, bias and even extreme, need to communicate to discuss, but not heresy wear big hats to each other, Cao Jian, . Otherwise, not ridiculed by history, said the Lord as evil.
so use the term heresy to be extremely careful, lest the sins return to their own conclusions. In particular, not every turn to the theology of their choice, their own paranoid If I feel you wrong child, if you practice (meetings, preaching, missions, contacts, etc.) out of my understanding of the Bible, I will try to put yourself, try to understand your mind and understand the situation and see if you deviated from Jesus (if the Lord assigned to me, give me something, then; or I will only absorbed in the Lord entrusted to my ministry.)
the lessons of history is: The medieval papacy was most determined in accordance with the so-called orthodoxy, were killed when the batch after batch of heresy in the eyes of God, the pope is the real heresy itself. Because he not only deviated from Jesus, even imprisoned him instead of with their own set of (Tuo Dostoevsky in
(VII): the normalization of life
What is one? One eyes of many, that is, the churches are clean, in other words, expectations of others and ourselves. This is impossible. People, the church and the church, denominations and sects, never have the same, this is history, but also reality. The key is to do their own thing, each person entrusted by God to do, like branches in the direction toward their long, go and bear fruit, which in the eyes of the Lord, is one of the. Do not do things they do not specifically accuse others of doing, or even to blame others for their own special thing. This is not pleasing to the Lord. No matter how righteous when I blame others, as long as they do not fruit the Lord will cut off my burned.
I say, Say one, I talk about the unity of believers with Jesus, that is normalized to Christ, so Christians have created life. Because The Lord will not recognize us, is to see the imprint of our lives there; and our life style depends entirely on whether we normalized to Jesus Christ himself. Only when the branch is connected to the vine, when, and only Christians, when normalized to Christ, only life. Between branches and the branches, except through the vine is not unity. Believers and believers, except through Jesus, is not connected. Some long-east,Bailey UGG boots, west long, long facing up, down long, the surface seems very inconsistent. But if you are attached to the roots of Jesus, we are connected to each other as one of the. So be sure to understand that we are through Jesus, and only through Jesus, was able to connect to each other, our own by his own blood, knowledge, understanding and moral force, always no way connected to each other, and even the development of our respective direction, it seems the opposite, where known, it is the Lord sent us out, do different work it! Hallelujah! Every believer has direct face of the Lord, but also by the Lord to see others the value of each valuable incentive to each other, how the beauty of how good ah! They do not leave the main, are all brothers and sisters; if someone left the Lord, we persuade him; if someone does not listen, give it to the Lord, by the Lord to deal with, because that is not connected to the tree's branches, the Lord will will also have the power to him only the main cut off, throw it into the fire.
Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, the theologian is not exactly the same. There are not the same, St. Francis, De Leisha, do orphanage Muller, who is loved and gave himself the social activist. Gaien Fu people, Andrew Murray, wrote, John Wesley, evangelist Billy Graham, etc., and his simple and direct preaching of the Gospel message. Ricci, Robert Morrison, Hudson Taylor, and Livingston, who, sucked the life shines on the land without the great missionary. Also, the Reformation of Martin Luther, the murder of Hitler's Pan and China, and cultural mission of CS Lewis, also from the different aspects do not live out the glory of God and spread God's grace it?
visible, is a theological doctrine (the above was divided into a number of twigs), is a sacrifice for the sake of love, life is a spiritual, is an evangelical, is an off-site missions, participation is a social, cultural, is a missionary, but also can have many branches (both main different gifts in accordance with the believers, in the womb in one pre-selected for, and later sent to a class of class combinations), so long as the Lord Jesus are the true vine tree grow, they can bear all sides of grapes, with the lead the new wine, dedicated to our Holy Father in heaven!
