A. Apostle Paul said these! Acts 24:14
1. Scripture as recorded:
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy,
so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
2. Obviously, only Satan has the heart to say what Paul preached was heresy!
B. These are Paul's words:
1. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached
unto you, let him be accursed. Gal.1:8
2. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. Gal.1:11
3. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Gal.1:12
4. Apostle Peter certified to this! 2Peter3:16
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood,
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
C. Here is Jesus' way to verify!
1. By their fruit you will recognize false preachers! Matt.7:15-16, 20.
2. Such as Paul, Peter, John and others preached the one gospel they all produced church of Christ! Ro.16:16
3. Yes, Jesus taught this! Lk.8:11
Preaching is likened to farmer sowing seeds!
The seed is God's word!
4. Any one at any time in anywhere preached the same gospel has to produce church of Christ!
Anyone does not understand this one can't be human! Period!
D. This is forever reality!
1. Bible and factual reality are my cups of tea!
2. What kinds of people in our time say others are heretic?
3. All we need is asked: Is the name of your church in the Bible?
4. Why others can't ask the same!?
In all normal human argument human always shout back the same question!
5. When we ask: Is the name of your church in the Bible?
In argument human always ask back: Is the name of your church in the Bible?
6. All these 60 years I am always very itchy to hear others ask the same!
Yes, one time a 19 years old Mormon elder did that!
But his 20 years old partner slapped him to his face and told him not to ask this question!
7. Here was my personal experience!
About 30 years ago a 19 years old elder read the sign on wall of this building and he read church of Satan!
8. I told him I am very certain he will go to hell!
Only Satan has the heart to say others are heretic!
E. More reasons on what I wrote!
1. Bible knowledge illiterate people said others are heretic!
2. When I was young, ignorant and unable to stand up for my own faith!
I was taught to hide behind "others are heretic"!
3. One day this dawn to me! Saying others are heretic is a condemnation!
Say others are heretic is sending them to hell!
4. How can a Jesus' believer be so heartless?!
By this alone would be enough to know say others are heretic is Satan!
F. In my 60 years preaching experience!
1. Not one said church of Christ is heretic in front of me!
I know everyone knows the why on this one!
2. I heard others told me! Each time I asked please give me his or her phone number!
3. I am forever curious what a modern Satan looks like!
G. Conclusion: Let us all be gentle human!
1. Sit down drink a cup of tea and open the Bible, each one’s own Bible!
2. Let the Lord’s word in the New Testament Bible to verify! Jn.12:47-48
3. First be sure your church name is church of Christ!
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Written September 5, 2019.
