There are no Jews, no Greeks, etc Part 28

What of the second nature? I am His, but how do I function with respect to my brethren? Does this mean I can be separate and do things that would be a wall between us? No. If the right hand goes, the left must follow if it is part of the same body, or else something may happen to the left hand, it will get stretched or be cut off or hurt. Suppose the foot decides to hold on to something that the rest of the body cannot support. The body will fall. All bets are off and the body will ultimately move together. Accordingly is our worship of God. How can the same body accept some things and say that according to the scriptures that thing is not really wrong when other parts of the same body disagree? I realize we are all diverse, with our own thoughts and impressions and we all have different ways of expressing ourselves. That is why God made us, so that we can function in His body in various ways. But that doesn’t mean that we should go off in different directions just because we feel this is the right way. And this doesn't mean we can use scripture to back doing what we choose to do. People can use scripture to back up anything they want, and most of the time it is not the way God wants them to use scripture. It is true that there is freedom in Christ, and many things in the bible demonstrate that freedom. Is it not also true that if we leave nothing except to the interpretation of God then we will be in His Will? The whole body of Christ is called Christians. It is confusing to those outside especially to those who call themselves Christians but really don't follow God's Word but only a vestige of what people call God's Word after much watering down. Inside the body some say this is OK as long as you accept Jesus is Lord you are Christian and some say it isn’t, that accepting Jesus is Lord is much more than saying it. Especially when we are exposed to those that say that times are changing, and we need to change with it to meet the needs of those who we want to come to Church. We should want all to come. We don’t serve ice cream, but I am sure there are those who would serve it in the sanctuary during service to get them to come into a service because there is nothing wrong in the scriptures with it. Why don’t we serve wine, then at communion, when there is a scriptural basis for this? Some do, some don’t, because they believe the serving of wine promotes a sin. We have become splintered in our desire to make the body more appealing, so that we look like a club, we look like something good to join for the kids, and the spiritual uplifting comes as a fringe benefit, like the boy scouts or girl scouts. Why do we not want to commune with God? God brought me where He wanted me to go to Church, He called me, and He will call others. He is more interested in our unity of purpose, which is His purpose. True, there is autonomy in various Churches, and I believe that has more to do with the cultural surroundings than in following the scripture. A person in Haiti for instance would worship in different clothes than say someone from Finland. Or a person from Haiti may baptize in different waters than a person from England. But the point remains that there are things that God wants in His worship, and to add or subtract would be to embellish and improve on Him. And that’s not what it is all about. Are we of one body? We need to get to that point where we all admit that Paul was right, only worship Jesus Christ. No man can lead us, not like Christ and God can. Are we in His Church? Are we following His Will? How can we be sure? Only through examination of His Word.
