Unfortunately, Christianity has merchandised in FEAR in its attempts to bring people into the fold.It’s been going on for almost 2,000 years now and it doesn’t produce good fruit. I have buy louis vuitton online in australia no idea who is truly a follower of Jesus, the Christ, but I have buy louis vuitton online in australia observed that those who were lured into the community of Christians by devious means were not producers of good fruit. The end still does not justify the means!
I “joined the church” at age seventeen because it buy louis vuitton online in australia seemed like the logical thing to do and then secondarily because it buy louis vuitton online in australia was a safe thing to do just in case the world came to an end before I was ready for it to do so.
Therein was the buy louis vuitton online in australia BIG trump card that my denomination played over and over again. The “R” card would always scare the buy louis vuitton online in australia hell out of people and bring them IN to the fold- temporarily. I’m talking RAPTURE of course.
I can buy louis vuitton online in australia see why the early church harped on it being an buy louis vuitton online in australia imminent event. There were lots of Scriptures to support the buy louis vuitton online in australia theses. Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32 and 2 Peter 3:10 to mention a few.
Even though the word rapture was not in the Bible, I Peter 4:7 came close enough to buy louis vuitton online in australia convince most people that the principle was a valid one. But you’d think that after a thousand years or so, that rapture, FEAR BASED mentality would have outworn it’s welcome.
It hasn’t! 
When I think about the buy louis vuitton online in australia salvation I discovered in my youth, I remember a salvation of singularity. Specifically, everything about salvation was making sure I had buy louis vuitton online in australia fire insurance; it was all about me…singular. Everything about witnessing revolved around making sure someone else had buy louis vuitton online in australia fire insurance and would be called up with Him in the buy louis vuitton online in australia clouds when He returns – unless they understood the buy louis vuitton online in australia three steps of salvation, then it was crispy critter time for buy louis vuitton online in australia them! But better them than me, I always said…because I HAD insurance!
I recall that buy louis vuitton online in australia despite the ongoing fire and brimstone messages, I always questioned my salvation because I was petrified of missing God and buy louis vuitton online in australia going to hell. I also recall that none of the buy louis vuitton online in australia teaching ever taught me to seek God for the sake of knowing Him. Until I was an buy louis vuitton online in australia adult, I did not understand that being “saved” did not take away the buy louis vuitton online in australia impulses and wants that I struggled to overcome all of my life (thus making me question my salvation). It was not until I was grown that buy louis vuitton online in australia I realized that truely seeking God for the sake of seeking Him was enough to buy louis vuitton online in australia curb the things within me that caused me to question salvation in the buy louis vuitton online in australia first place.
I still deal with things, but I know that buy louis vuitton online in australia it has nothing to do with my understanding and faith in Jesus…I don’t have buy louis vuitton online in australia to cower and have nightmares of suddenly finding out, “Oh, snap, I’m not saved!”
John 17:3. Eternal life is KNOWING God, not knowing FACTS about God or BELIEVING in “Belief systems” which religion is good about constructing.
The very core of your buy louis vuitton online in australia writing whilst sounding agreeable initially, did not sit perfectly with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the buy louis vuitton online in australia paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for buy louis vuitton online in australia a short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your buy louis vuitton online in australia leaps in assumptions and you would do well to help fill in those gaps. If you buy louis vuitton online in australia actually can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being fascinated.
