Unity At Any Cost?

The picture to the right of your screen totally contradicts the picture to the left of your screen does it not? A picture can speak a thousand words saints of God.

To the left you see devotees bowing to the pope, during world youth day 2008 in Australia. To the the right you see Darlene Zschech, and Hillsong United leading worship at world youth day 2008 in Australia.

Exodus 20:3-5

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

This is a comment I received today. It's related to a blog I did at the beginning of September about Hillsong United and Darlene Zschech uniting with The Roman Catholic Church to spread a gospel. I feel it is important to share this comment, and the response I posted to it today, as it may help give understanding to others. It is not my intention to in any way belittle this young man in so doing.

(Mik wrote and said : "I think this is good. if we arrive ti united the church around the earth, we will be able to make people open and really be able to share the truth.")

Thank you for you comment Mik,
First of all I would suggest that you read some of the blogs I have put together on Roman Catholicism. You can find them if you go back to the June blogs, and then you can find others if you click on the labels at the bottom of the blogs.
Roman Catholicism does not teach that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no man comes to the Father but by Him. Salvation for the Roman Catholics is through their church, and its many ordinances, (man made doctrines).

Therefore to say one is joining with them, to spread the truth around the earth, is in itself a lie, because they do not preach the truth.
To yoke together with them is in direct opposition to the written Word of God, it is breaking the commandments of God.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

You may say well the Catholics are believers. Yes but what is it they believe? Even the demons believe, many a person who does not live for God believes that He is.

Secondly the Truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ has been preached, is being preached, but unfortunately people would rather believe a lie because it makes them feel better.

We have had several centuries to share the truth. In the last days the Word of God says
He will send an angel out to all the earth to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, He will not depend upon mere men to get the job done.

Revelation 14:6-7

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

(Mik said: "Hillsong si a great church and Darlene is full of love for people as Christ image.")

Darlene may well appear to be full of love for people, however to truly love people, is to tell them the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To truly love Jesus is to keep His commandments. Darlene is deceived by the seducing spirit of this Last day’s church age, and is willing to compromise the Truth of the gospel for the sake of unity. This is not in Christ’s image. It is The Truth that sets people free.

(Mik said: "the testimony she gave when she came sing at this evenment was a beautiful image of love for everyone." )

Oh I am sure it was a beautiful image of love, but who’s image, and who’s love.

(Mik said in closing: "please be nice and think with Christ's love without love we are nothing, Mik" )

As I said the truth is love, to not stand for the truth of God’s Word is not love, it is a counterfeit, a false hood, a deception.

One of the marks of one who truly manifests love (Charity) is this that they:

“Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;” 1 Corinthians 13:6

The truth of God’s Word is paramount in these last days, and we are commanded not to yoke ourselves together with unbelievers.

God bless you, sorry that you perceive my blog as unloving but as Paul once said:

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Galatians 4:16 . end of quotes.

Saints of God the Word of God does not say we will be loved of the world, or that we are to seek to be loved by the world, it says that we will be hated of all men for His sake. We must hold His Truth above all things...Amen
