Thoughts! “Other Belief Systems For Business!"
Out Of The Gate, and to preface all that follows, allow me to acknowledge that I do not want you to think the same things and ways, as I do. This pertains to … those who have a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus, Son of The Living God and those who do not.
Do not be offended should you find yourself lumped into the same box, as all the rest, as that is not my intention. There is a need to make this distinction for clarity and brevity and there will more than likely, be more in the first group that will be offended than the second. The Apostle Paul commends the Berians to being noble, they did not just accept what he had said, yet followed up by verifying what he said, with what was in The Word of God. (Acts 17:11) That is the least I can do is to exhort you to do the same.
Now why do I, not want you to think like I do?
- I am absolutely assured, that All Mighty God made each one of us uniquely different. Even more than finger prints. Probably closer to DNA and I will not go down that path, (As tempting as it is.) again for the sake of brevity.
- That uniqueness is also the criteria for that relationship that HE has with us, whether in the first group or the second. In other words, should this not be true, then one of us would be a clone and a belief like that would rob one of knowing HIM Personally.
Paul even tells those who are of Group Two on Mars Hill (Areopagus) that they were ignorantly worshiping God and Paul was also, well versed in their poets and Philosophers. (Acts 17:18-33)
He tells the Romans that GOD has given every one, (Man Woman and Child.) the same ‘Measure of Faith’. (Rom. 12:3) Group one builds on it to that ‘Unique Personal Relationship’ with HIM and Group two builds on it, according to The Filters of customs, culture, traditions and influence of family, teachers, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Sometimes they build on nothing more than self-Choice. The emphasis here is on that ‘Measure of Faith’ being as universal, as Gravity, just another one of God’s Laws.
Now should I have not offended group two, allow me to at least give group one, a chance ‘To Be or Not to Be’. You will have to go back to the beginning of this Blog to pick up on some of my direction here. I will try to link you to those Posts and use some of the same tags for you to find what I will reference to.
I believe and walk in the assurance that God has made us co-participators and even co-creators in the path each one of us chooses to walk. To not be, would make us ‘Fatalists’. Allow me to give you one example and then move on to the main topic from this preface. Two different people will see the glass half full or half empty. OK … one more. One person always chooses to get out on the wrong side of the bed every morning and another will wake up with the ‘Attitude of Gratitude’ and always has a prosperous day, even if ‘Hell Brakes Lose’ and 'The Bottom Drops Out'!
Now here comes the Nay Sayers with, “Then how come you are not wealthy &/or perfectly healthy?” And am I glad that they did ask, as it gives me something to continue with. … … …
Yes, continue with next time! Be Blessed, 1 aka DP

Freedom Or Bondage
I passed by a Blog this morning, belonging to who is now a good friend of ours and had to stop and make a comment and to encourage her to continue to write more. What I will do here is to copy a piece of it here and then follow up with my comments to her post. Some of you will be informed and some may take difference. Either way tell us what you think!

Paul's "traditions" and church liturgy - Are they the same?
How is it when you begin looking into a subject your search takes you down many rabbit trails. I was reading II Thessalonians Chapter 2 when I came across verse 15
“Stand firm, and hold to the traditions which you were taught,
whether by word of mouth, or by letter from us.” (NASV)
The question arose “What are the traditions Paul is referring to here?”
This question occurred around about six weeks prior to a conversation with a friend who announced that he and his wife had become proponents of the liturgical practice of the Anglican Church. I was stunned by this news as previously they had been staunch participants in a close knit home church with no ritual or connection with the institutional church.
So my line of enquiry was broadened to cover more in depth searching of early church history. This process is taking some time – I’m not a fast reader. ... ... ... (Katch)
I see this has been posted for a while and wanting to encourage you to continue in penning your thoughts, I will add this belated comment.
>>>“What are the traditions Paul is referring to here?” <<<>
Rabbit Trails can be misleading. As I perused your post, and that as there is no way to research ‘Word Of Mouth’ that your observations from the well marked paths, i.e. In The Word appear to be valid.
No doubt, you were stunned by the extreme change in your friends approach to Worship. What is exciting to me is that The Living God has a unique relationship with each individual believer that is continually developing. Let me give you another example of this bizarre change seemingly going in what appears to be bondage to those of us that think we have been set free.
Two or three decades ago, fellowshipping in a Traditional Charismatic Assembly, a couple who we became friends with over the years, were having a rough time with marital communications. I, along with several others in leadership endeavored to help them along to no avail. After several years they had stopped fellowshipping with us and the next time we came across them they had found a Seventh Day Assembly and both of them were rejoicing in how it had really put their marriage together. Most of us in the TCA were incredulous, as the SDAs are very legalistic. Yet here was where God was meeting them in their need.
AnyHOO, pick your pen back up and make your God Ordain Contributions, so the rest of us may continue to benefit! But what do I know? 1 www.wonpreacher.com
