Thanks be to God and mcgi for another wonderful explorative teachings at the mass indoctrination day 13
Important points I learnt from God's word discussed.
After baptism we will walk in a new life. We also acquire fear to commit sin. They're two types of sin. Sin unto death and sin not unto death. We should pray for our brother if he commits a sin that's not unto death. We're not wiser than God.we should just obey God.
Titus 3:10 talks about the fact that there's expulsion in the church.
If a mistake is already abused it should be put away. Hebrews 10:5 Mary gave birth to the body where the begotten could dwell. We shouldn't eat food marked for idols. Service to God is delicate.
Ezekiel 4:14 talks about we should not eat abominable food. It's prohibited to eat blood. Man shouldn't eat blood because it's sacred for God. The life of the soul is in the blood. Blood is sacred. Christ used blood to redeem us. Forgiveness is in the shedding of blood. Blood is for atonement of sin.
Genesis 9:3 emphasizes blood shouldn't be eaten. We should eat animals whose blood is not poured out. They're animals who died of themselves.
1 Corinthians 6;19 emphasizes we commit sin against ourselves when we commit fornication. Joining the wrong religion is fornication. Very evil sin cannot be rebaptised.
Mark 3:29 emphasizes that if you intentionally speak against the holy spirit you won't be forgiven. Blasphemy is one of the sins against the holy spirit. We should abstain from meat offered to idols.
Act 15: 29 emphasizes we shouldn't do the following
Eat things that are strangled
Fornication
Eat blood
Abstain from meats offered to idols
Psalm 115:5 describes some idols made of glasses, plastic or statues.
Idolatry is abominable to God. Idols are made from the hands of men. Food made from idols will defile our conscience. False gods are idols.
Rev 22:9 talks about us that we shouldn't kneel before angels. We should worship God. Mary is not God, we shouldn't worship her. The god of the Muslim is different from the god of Christians. Men have many gods.
The following were my old beliefs or expectations that were improved by listening.
1.I believed before that we should eat strangled meat.
2.I believe before that Muslims worship the same God as us.
How teaching affects me as a better person.
1.I now know that we shouldn't commit the sin of blasphemy against the holy spirit.
2.I now know that we shouldn't eat strangled food.
3.I now know that we shouldn't worship idols, Mary and angels
4.I now know that idolatry is abominable to God.
5.I now know that there's a sin unto death.
