Pastors, would you please quit being “God”? Quit acting as if no one can get to God except through you. You are shepherds, not Jesus.
Please quit acting as if when a person doesn’t obey you, they have committed blasphemy against God.
Yes, it is bad for someone to be disobedient to you, but it is not an offense warranting a ‘capital punishment’.
You are humans, not ‘God’. A wife’s husband should be superior to you in her eyes. You aren’t superior to a woman’s husband.
If you preached a sermon well, and yet someone disobeys it, please approach them with compassion, and NOT self-righteousness or hate, because NONE is righteous except God.
For instance, if you say I shouldn’t line my eyes so long, and I say okay, I will change it from next week but not now because the ink is already dried and trying to undo it may ruin my look and feelings at the moment. Yet, you insist I should clean it now or leave your church. Guess what I will do? I will leave your church. Yes!
This is not to disobey you, but to humble you. To make you know that I can reach God, apologize to him, and come back NEXT WEEK as a “changed eye-lining lady”… lol
What is all this superiority?
What is all this pride?
This was the iniquity which was found in Lucifer: He wanted to be like God just as you are currently trying to be Jesus Christ; the ONLY way to God.
Know that a church is just a building like any other. But it is the presence of the Spirit of Love, and of Christ in us and among us which makes this building a church of God.
A church is JUST a building until there is the vivid presence of the Spirit of God, of Love, and Power, Peace, and a Sound Mind in it. These are what should be superior, not anything else.
PEACE!
