Pastor Dixon,
In general terms your explanation was well done, however as most pastors you use the word christian in an overall context to mean God worshipers and obeyers. Christian means Catholic.
You as many others are Protistants, there is a difference, one is pagan idol worshipers,the other is not.
Also if you study the writings of Paul, you will discover he is a liar and Jesus warned Peter about him. Did you ever ask yourself why Paul is more prominent in the new test. than Peter who was chosen by Jesus,while Paul claimed his incounter with Jesus while two witnesses saw nor heard nothing ?
If Paul was feared by the chosen 12 of Jesus, Why did not Jesus tell his chosen that Paul should be accepted by them ? If Jesus talked to Paul on the road, would it not stand to reason,Jesus would also talk to his deciples.
However remember when Jesus ascended he stated they would see him no more until the resurrection. Which we have a false claim of Paul being blinded and then being healed by a man who had previously died at Peters feet for stealing from God,His wife succumed later for the same reason.
Paul has also stated the laws are no more, when God & Jesus both stated they are for eternity..
Study all of Pauls writings and you will find a lot more wrong with these so called scriptures.
Remember, the bible was written by scribes which were told what to write by the kings and Catholic church
God himself told us to reprove all scripture for this very reason.
Most preachers admonish their congegration, to believe every word in the bible is the word of God, and the last verse in the bible is a warning not to add or subtract from it.
Is this not a gurantee the people will not question what devious scribes, Popes and Kings place in it ?
We must studey every word and compare it with other scriptures in old test.
We must also remember God himself states He is the ONLY savior. Yet we have changed our worship to Jesus. This conflicts with the commandment, Thou Shalt Have No Other gods before me.
No where in the scriptures does Jesus say to worship him. He even denies he has come to save the world, found in Matthew.
You will discover Pauls apostles were preaching a different doctrine than the 12 chosen by Jesus, who were called desciples.
God states, kings,leaders,judges,etc. should write down his commandments,laws statutes & judgements,& to refer to them daily as a guide for just decisions. If they did not, He did not place them in the seat of power.
As for praying for our leaders, God also states, Do NOT pray for evil people for they will be evil still and he will NOT hear your prayers.
With all due respect, this is to strengthen your knowlege and wisdom,please accept it as such.
