The Conflicting Christian religion
Why are there so many divergent views in the Christian religion? When there is undoubtedly according to the word of God, “one body and one Spirit, just as you (we) were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you (us) all” (Ephesians 4:4-6).
I
was appalled at a comment someone made from an article I wrote on “The church
is charged for profaning the Lord's Holy Convocations.” The individual
commented and said; “Who should the Christian follow, Jesus or Moses? At the
mount of transfiguration, Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus. A voice from
heaven confirmed Jesus as the Son of God and the voice said "hear
Him". Jesus told his followers to carry the gospel to the world and teach
converts to observe everything he taught them. Jesus never said anything about
"convocations."
If according to
this individual, “Jesus never said anything about “convocations,” I therefore beg to
ask the question, what is the status of the fourth commandment which clearly
states, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall
labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your
God. In it you shall do no work: you, or your son, or your daughter, or your
male servant, or your female servant, or your cattle, or your stranger who is
within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the
sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD
blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it?" (Exodus 20:8-11).
And why should
Jesus say to the Pharisees; “The Sabbath
was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore
the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27-28).
Then why should
the apostle Paul who is the apostle to the Gentiles admonished us by saying;
"For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way:
"And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; and again in this
place: "They shall not enter My rest." Since therefore it remains
that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter
because of disobedience, again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today,"
after such a long time, as it has been said: " Today, if you will hear His
voice, Do not harden your hearts.'
“For if Joshua
had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day:
There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered
His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His" (Hebrews
4:4-10).
The apostle
Paul gave further admonitions by saying; “ And let us consider one another in
order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the
more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24-25).
Even in the
coming Millennium convocations will be a part of the daily life, for it is
written; “For as the new heavens and the new
earth which I will make shall remain before Me," says the LORD, “So shall
your descendants and your name remain.
And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, and
from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,"
says the LORD” (Isaiah 66:22-23).
I believe that
the reasons for all this babble of confusion that permeates the Christian religion,
it is because of ignorance or disbelief of three significant things concerning Jesus
Christ which are:
