Unedited or Incomplete: But Published For Content.
I am writing so many things on the principles of God, His 'patterns', and the truths that are in the 'word of truth' (II Timothy 2:15), which is the Christian Bible (the Old Testament and the New Testament), that I need to post, even before they are finished in their entirety, for the time is short.
(John 5:39-40; Acts 10:43; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21; Matthew 28:20).
I write to inform each believer, regardless of denomination, that we must be humble, and not contentious, and we must love one another, setting conflicting doctrinal beliefs aside for the sake of the gospel, which is able to save men's souls; for that is the prime directive of the Church.
And we must show charity toward one another as believers (read Romans 14), and preach the gospel however we understand it (read Philippians 1:15-18), for it is the Holy Ghost that does the work in the heart of the unbeliever after the gospel is preached in their hearing.
(Acts 16:31; John 9:35-38; John 10:10; Romans 10:11-14; Acts 8:35-38...)
These are the last days, and I am seventy-five. I must do the work (in 'faith, which worketh by love.':
Galatians 5:6b) which is assigned to me by my heavenly Father, and write the truth to every believer, who alone, before his/her God, is responsible for how the read and understand the word of truth.
I will not compromise the truth, neither shall I debate with one who disagrees with what I write, for there is no spiritual argument against the spiritual truth.
I will write with the fulness of the love of God in my heart, for I do not desire that anyone should not have the truth, that they might please God in the fulness of their personal stewardship in the word, and in the work of the Lord to which they are assigned.
(I Corinthians 12:1-28; I Corinthians 1:10; II Timothy 2:15).
I do not have an organization; neither do I intend to start one. This is my work in the Lord: to encourage and to strengthen the brethren in the truth of the principles and doctrines of God, as He spoke and exemplified them specifically in His word.
(Isaiah 28:9-10; Isaiah 55:8-11; John 14:21-24; Deuteronomy 18:18-19)
God loves the sinner: Romans 5:8. He loved us to Jesus, maybe by someone else; let us also love others to Jesus. If the gospel is the only thing left that we may fellowship around, then let us not hover over our own set of doctrinal beliefs, but over the gospel: I Corinthians 2:2.
God loves us: let's love Him back!
