Marriage - Preacher and Shame
There is a tragic story in Birmingham, England in the 90s.
There was a woman Preacher, who preached that it is wrong for Christian to marry non-believer.
It happened that after some time, she lived (slept) with an Atheist (without marriage) and bore a baby.
She remained a Preacher for sometime; until people questioned too much of her living with a non-believer, given birth without marriage.She later resigned from the position as a Preacher.
Lots of stones thrown! and are you one of those stone throwers?
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness. (Matt 6v33)
D: The Bible does not teach that anybody should seek satisfaction from other people before coming to accept God.seek and you shall find. (Luke 11v9)
D: Seeking God did not stop at judging the wrong of others...seek from Him a sign from Heaven. (Mark 8v11)
D: Not seeking signs on Earth from others.You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. (Galatians 5v4)
D: God extends goodwill towards men, and acts mercifully. Nobody is justified by law of deeds.
Tammy of Birmingham:
I am happy being a non-Christian.
Just look! How hypocritical this Preacher is, living a life contradicting what she preached.Nobody would listen to her words; do one thing and act another!
D: Spirit is willing but flesh is weak.
Preaching is one thing; and practicing what one preaches is another.
Mistakes do not crossed out what is at all time right.
That preacher never preached or said what she did was right.
She never asked anyone to follow her example.
Who would listen should she speak of her suffering out of acting wrongly?Carrying the name "Christian" is not a sure sign of carrying out sinning. Why do some people delight in associating with non-believers/non-Christians if they believe the teachings of Christ to be moral and expressed that they do not mind meeting that code of moral? Something hypocritical here.
Are Christians less moral than non-Christians? Then, the two together would still be unequally yoked.
The standard of Christian Faith and the Kingdom is dependant on the Word of God, and not on some human figure or idol.
Are you trying to identify with a human idol/example before you would identify with the Almighty God who is full of Glory?
That is idolatry, worshipping more than one God.No one can serve two masters. - Matt 6v24
Be holy (set apart) for I (Je your God) am holy (set apart). - Lv 11 vv 44-5Can you love a worldly master and love Christ at the same time? The words of Christ told us that is not possible.
Who then would you listen to, the non-believer who is still in sin or the Lord who redeemed you from sin?
Why yoked with those who have not repented if you are indeed snatched from sin?Non-believers do not have the Biblical moral. What is moral to non-believers is not the standard shown in the Bible, by which the people of God must be saved.
