After viewing the Oprah Show featuring The Secret I decided that somebody somewhere needed to help Christians discern the fact that The Secret is not a Christian concept, and as such should be avoided. Why you ask? My answer is,,,, Why you ask?............... And that's the very reason I'm writing this exhortation.



Most Christians have no idea what they believe or why they believe it. It's because of our lackadaisical belief systems that new age occult beliefs such as The Secret seep in to our consciousness and have such strong appeal over us. So in order to completely, and accurately blow the wind out of The Secrets sails I decided to buy a copy of the book. As I stood in line at Walden Books I laughed to myself. What a joke, I'm paying, as thousands if not millions of other people are for this book that's as far from the Truth as you can get. I'm going to leave here, read the book, and try my best to reveal this lie, and next to nobody will ever hear my words yet alone pay good money for them. What a joke.



It's like the old saying, If it seems too good to be true then it is. Besides, when did you ever hear Jesus proclaim that you could possess anything your heart desires just by believing you can? But wait,,,,, you can,,,,,, if you're willing to sell your soul. Your soul? you say? yep, your soul. ((So what profit a man if he gain the world but loose his very soul?) ) You see, when you chase after your desires, and you really believe that your wildest dreams will materialize, they probably will. What?? you say? Well then why shouldn't we utilize The Secret? And my answer is this Belief is very powerful. It doesn't have to be the Truth, but you have to believe it is. And when you do you create possibilities by opening doors to some very dark places, that may appear to be the results you've desired, but in reality are trick doors designed to trap you into believing a lie. No smoke and mirrors here, just words, and the power of belief.



A few months ago while flipping through the channels, I came upon the Tyra Banks Show. Normally I wouldn't have watched the program but it caught my interest because she was interviewing witches. First to speak were "white witches" these were a group of women who considered themselves goddesses. They don't believe in God or Satan per say, but they do believe that through spells, (their projection of positive energy) and their intent they can manipulate time and space to create desirable outcomes for their lives. Hum, sounds a little like the Secret, only it's no secret to them. They call it witchcraft because that's what it is.



Next up were some "black witches" they believed that spirits did indeed exist and that they could manipulate these forces of good or evil. They claimed they also didn't believe in God or Satan, apparently they felt these forces existed apart from a superior power. They discussed their ritual of blood letting which protected them from evil, and that they had some kind of code of conduct which they strictly followed because crossing the line subjected them to danger. They believe "white witches live in a fantasy land. And I'd have to agree. But my sense of reasoning also tells me that if it looks like fire then you shouldn't put your finger in it. and any time you have to cut yourself to protect your self your ability to protect yourself must be flawed.



Third up were a married couple who were "Satanists". Now, they didn't believe that Satan truly existed but viewed him as more of a metaphorical character. Their big thing is indulgence, They believe in an eye for an eye type of existence where the followers do unto others as others do unto them. They believe sin leads to emotional and mental gratitude. Everyone experiences the consequences of their own actions. and survival is for the fittest. After reading their criteria I suspect most human beings fall under the "Satanist" heading, admittedly or not. They claim "We've wasted far too much time explaining that Satanism has nothing to do with kidnapping, drug abuse, child molestation, animal or child sacrifice, or any number of other acts that idiots, hysterics or opportunists would like to credit us with. Satanism is a life-loving, rational philosophy that millions of people adhere to." So that's their spin, maybe they should have called themselves something else if they wanted the respect they claim to deserve.



I should add here that there are Satanists who do believe Satan exists. They weren't on the show and I can understand why.



Last up was a girl named Sarah, She claimed to be an X-witch, who'd practiced witchcraft until she realized she was in over her head when she tried to kill herself. Her story was different from the other witches. Sarah tested witchcraft to see if there was any truth in it. When she realized she was dealing with more than she could handle she denounced it and became a Christian. I thought it great that the Truth had set her free. The fact that the Black Witches knew they were crossing the line yet continued to practice the craft got me wondering why don't these people get out? Are they nuts? And then I realized it's their intention that takes them there in the first place and it's the results of their intentions that makes them remain. If you want power you can get it, if you want Truth you can get that too! Unfortunately the Truth never seems to draw a crowd, and that's very unfortunate.



What an odd group. None of these people, except Sarah, knew what was really going on. They're all content living the lie because they desire the results. Many people practice witchcraft and don't even know they're doing it. Your thoughts are lethal weapons. anger x ill intention towards another x desire (EMOTION) equals witchcraft. The Secret claims that whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you. This is true. Your evil thoughts will create evil outcomes. The same works for good intentions. If you live your life with good intentions with no malice towards others you can be pretty sure of an easy ride. The problem arises as we will discover in the fact that when you focus your attention on self centered acts to generate self fulfillment and self gratification you loose the self giving, sacrificing nature a Christian is supposed to possess. What's more important How fast you climbed the ladder to success, or the words of someone who said your generosity and compassion made a difference in their life?



The thing that really bothers me about The Secret, isn't the fact that it's a deception, it's the fact that Christians aren't able to discern it's a deception.

Jesus clearly instructed us to test the spirits to see if they are from God. Has Christianity lost the ability to discern spirits? Yep, this seems to be the case. So how did we loose it? My guess is we began loosing it when we allowed false doctrine to seep into our belief systems. How do you know you even believe what you believe? Have you tested your beliefs? Most people haven't. In fact, people put more thought into buying a car than they do about what they believe. Is it any wonder then that this wonderful Secret concept is being accepted? That's the problem with Angels of Light. They come to you all beautifully wrapped until you open up the box.



The # one rule of thumb in the discerning of spirits is does the message deny the Father and the Son? The Secret not only denies God but calls him the universe. God is not the universe, he created the universe. If the message does not follow the teachings of Jesus then it does not glorify God. I wasn't surprised to see scripture quoted to verify the Secrets claims. St Matthew 21:22 Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. and Mark 11:24 What things so ever you desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. To misquote and use these scriptures to refer to material gains and needs is Blasphemous. The problem with scripture is that it's not always self explanatory. That's why there's cross-referencing. Bible scholars use it all the time, most Christians don't. To the unsuspecting, The Secret effectively uses these passages to prove its sincerity. Yet if we carefully take the time to cross reference these passages we discover that there's more to these words than first meets the eye. A more thorough investigation reveals that what you're supposed to be asking for is wisdom pertaining to the things or workings of the will of God.



In Matthew 6 25-33 we read; "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."



The meek shall inherit the Earth, and it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Yet, the writers of the Secret would have you believe that worldly possessions should be your goal in life. And how many Christians are blindly following this remarkable deception? Probably a lot. More than I want to think about. What a pretty picture thousands, maybe millions of Christians practicing witchcraft. This might be funny if it wasn't true. And what does all this have to say about the affairs of mankind? Well, you do the math.]]> Sat, 30 May 2009 00:20:20 -0230 https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3720/do-you-have-a-human-spirit https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3720
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.







Human spirit belief is the foundation that New Age beliefs are built upon. As you know, The New Age teaches that we must contact our human spirit. That we must re-program it, so that our beliefs line up with their truths. In other words what they're trying to say is that you've believed untruths, (and we have) and these untruths concern untruths about ourselves and our religions. (that's correct also) The problem is that the alternative path they offer for you to save yourself from yourself is another lie. The New Age substitute which appears to be the Truth but is not is a stumbling block aimed to deceive you.



Now, those who practice New Age. teachings don't feel deceived, they believe they're saved. They believe we're the ones who are deceived. And, in actuality there's truth in that assumption also because most Christians have not explored the true potential of their faith by examining what they believe the actual Truth to be. Unfortunately, lies have been intentionally very meticulously inserted into the Christian belief system (the devil's in the details) and those lies deactivate the power of the Holy Spirit which cannot fully operate within you unless you believe the whole Truth. The process of being Sanctified through the Spirit has been completely overlooked by Christians who assume their beliefs are accurate without examining those beliefs before they believe them. Christians have overlooked this process and because they have the New Age Movement has us eating right out of their hands. If you believe you possess a human spirit you are not wearing the full armor of God, in fact you're standing in your underwear.



The first time I heard anyone speak of a human spirit it was on the Oprah Show. As I was listening to the show I began talking back to the television. I remember saying "That's a lie, human beings don't have a spirit of their own". Just then I heard a crash so I went downstairs to my family room to investigate what made the noise. Two pictures on either side of the television fell off the wall and were on the floor. Apparently Satan didn't like his lie being exposed. I'm sure he knew that one day I would be exposing his lie to many people. He obviously wasn't happy.



I want to warn you right now that this study will open your eyes. You won't be able to hide behind false beliefs anymore. I assure you that exposing the Spirit for what and who it really is will also unlock many other doors and expose more lies you've believed to be truth. Understanding and activating the power of the Holy Spirit in your life is the key to everything.



Before we begin examining scripture I just want to say that when you attempt to contact your human spirit, the spirit you're going to confront is the spirit of the world, the counterfeit Holy Spirit which Satan uses to imitate the Spirit of God. Because there IS NO HUMAN SPIRIT to contact. Instead of learning Truth from this Spirit you learn lies. Very clever lies, lies that imitate the Truth but are not the truth. Satan knows that any lie he can get you to believe prevents you from wearing the Full Armor of God. There's a substitute lie for everything, the only way to protect yourself from the lie is to KNOW the Truth.



How can you know the Truth? Study the Word. When you upload the Truth into your brain you activate the power of the Holy Spirit. This Spirit then guides and instructs you in all matters. When you hear the Truth the Spirit confirms it, when you hear a lie the Spirit exposes it. (This process is testing the spirits) The problem with this process is that most times the whole Truth is only half believed so apparently unbeknown to the listener they've taken direction from both spirits. This situation is unfortunate for the Christian because they don't know they've believed lies. They have no idea. They have a veil over their eyes that can only be removed by the Truth. Unfortunately by this point most Christians cannot be reached they continue believing their half truths and never fully activate the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. And after all, this was Satan's intention all along.



As I mentioned before your realization that the human spirit doesn't exist will eventually reveal other lies you may have believed as Truth. Because the Truth builds upon the Truth, All scripture is profitable for reproof. The lie can run but it can't hide.



I also want to add that this is a complex subject and some times our understanding of a passage will be fuzzy. The best way to eliminate confusion is to cross-reference the passage for better understanding. Also keep in mind that in the Old Testament the Holy Spirit was only given by God to certain individuals who were used to suit Gods purpose. In the New Testament the Holy Spirit was freely given to anyone who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ. You will also come across passages which describe "my spirit" which seem to indicate a human spirit but refer to the Holy Spirit operating within the individual. When "my spirit" is used it is referring to the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost which is used interchangeably. When the words "a spirit" or "the spirit" are used further detail is needed to correctly identify if it is the Holy Spirit or an evil spirit that is being described. Fully reading the chapter the passage is quoted from usually relieves confusion.



Ephesians 1:17

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:



.......................Is this spirit of wisdom the human spirit or the Holy Spirit?



Read this passage 1 Corinthjans 2:11 at first glance it appears to be talking about a human spirit.



11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.



.......................Now, read it again in the proper context;



1 Corinthians 2: 9-16

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.



Verse 11 states that man does not understand the workings of himself but the Spirit does, and it also claims that the Spirit also understands the workings of God while man does not. It is easy to become confused when scripture is taken out of context.



This scripture is often misquoted and claimed that the "spirit of man" is a human spirit, but that is incorrect. The capitalization of the S in spirit of God is used because it is referring to Gods Spirit (his own) The spirit of man is written in a lower cased "s" signifying the Holy Spirit, and again in verse 12 it is again written in a lower case "s" when referring to the spirit of God, (Holy Spirit)



There are also occasions you'll find where a feeling is used to describe a spirit. Keep in mind that feelings are produced by our reactions to the spirits. Reactions can either be good or bad. these reactions are responses perceived by the human being as a direct response to a thought initiated by a spirit.



Daniel 7: 15

15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.



St Mark 2:8

8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?



.....................In the following verse God is referred to the Father of spirits.



Hebrews 8:9

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?



.................. The proceeding verses refer to spirits



Psalms 104:4

4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:



Hebrews 1:13,14

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?





Luke 4:10

10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:





...................In the following scripture Jesus tells the Apostles that he isn't a spirit.



Luke 24: 36-39

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.



Ezekiel 13:1-3

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!



.........................Obviously these prophets aren't following the Holy Spirit, they're being deceived by the spirit of the world.







Isaiah 30:1

1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:



2 Corinthians 11:3,4

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.



................The previous passages are not referring to a human spirit, The spirit being discussed is the spirit of the world.



Joel 2:28

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:





St. John 16: 12-14

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.



Galatians 5 16-18

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law





Ephesians 4:4

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;



................ONE Spirit







.................. Genesis 2:7 describes this:

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.



Job 27:3

3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils





Job 33:4

4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.





...................If God had placed a human spirit in man don't you think some reference of it would have been mentioned? It isn't discussed because it didn't happen. Man is living soul animated by the "breath of life"







..................And finally, in 1 Corinthians 15:42-52

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.



.................Still not convinced? In the following verses Jesus describes how we will become spirit beings, equal to the angels.



Luke 20:35-36

35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.





Hopefully I've quoted enough scripture for you to conclude that human beings do not possess a human spirit. If not I hope you will continue studying until you can truthfully decide for yourself. However, I must caution you, remember I told you that when you see the Truth for what it really is then the rest of the truth will follow? If the human being has no spirit of its own then what happens when we die? Is it true that your spirit goes directly to heaven or hell when you die? Well if you don't have a spirit then that can't be so.



........................But the Bible does say that the Spirit returns to God who gave it.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.



Obviously the Bible is referring to the Holy Spirit that returns to God. So what then happens to your soul? That’s another study. This time the New Age Movement isn't involved, but Religion is because that's where you learned to believe what you believe.

.......Here's a hint,,,,,,,,,,,,,



Daniel 2:12



Many who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake. Some shall live forever; others shall be in everlasting contempt. But the wise shall shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament, and those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever"



Everything you need to know about the Truth is in the Bible, Unfortunately your preconceived notions aren't.]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:17:29 -0230 https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3709/another-gospel https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3709




Jesus warned us to beware of another gospel, and there's been many gospels contrary to the teachings of Jesus, but today another gospel has materialized, and that gospel is a very dangerous threat to Christianity. This other gospel is being taught by the New Age Movement, and is also the testimony of those who've received it from demonic aliens in UFO's, and other channeled entities.



I believe we must understand the enemy, as well as his plan. If we're aware of his capabilities, then his attack will come as no surprise. The problem lies in the fact that the church is unaware that it's under attack, or that another gospel exists or that that gospel is going to be used against us. In fact this new gospel is being transformed into the old gospel right before Christianities eyes.



The New Age Movement teaches that we must contact our spirit. They claim we must nurture it, and become aware of the divinity within us. Our first clue of this deception should have been that human beings have no spirit of their own. We are flesh and bone with a soul, (It may be true that God breathed the breath of (spirit of) life in us, but this is our life force, not our guidance system.) and though we have no spirit of our own we are influenced by the spirit of the world, (the antichrist, spirit of deception) or the Spirit of God. (The Holy Spirit, Spirit of truth) We decide which spirit we will follow. The problem is when we accept lies as truth then the lie becomes the truth. Although man has no spirit of his own at this time the time will come when he will be given one, read 1 Corinthians 2: 9-16





God gave us the Word, (written, and in the expressed image of Jesus Christ) to be used as the schematic by which we could discern the spirits. Unfortunately many of us have either misinterpreted the Word, or followed someone else who has. Our inability to correctly discern the spirits has left us vulnerable to this new gospel, which resembles the Truth but is not.



The new gospel also teaches that we must open ourselves to christ-conciousness, a state of awareness which we all must receive before the new age can become a reality. To someone unaware of the entire message this collective consciousness of Christ would appear to be a biblical concept, after all, are we not all striving to become more Christ-like? With closer examination though, this christ is not the power of God the Father, but a state of consciousness which will enlighten mans understanding of who he is. It's also claimed that this state of consciousness will also provide man with the ability to eventually become a master, who can travel inter-dimensionally, and also move into his next incarnation without experiencing death. Which in itself is a rather impressive feat, but not a Christian concept.



It's claimed that Jesus, Buddha, Elijah, Moses, and others are ascended masters. That they have gained the ability via superior consciousness to transcend time and space, as well as spirit and body into oneness which bypasses all the elements of the physical creation. Man is believed to be continuously reincarnated until christ consciousness is fully achieved, and he becomes a master. At this point, physical death no longer exists. It is proclaimed that man is in a sleeping state of awareness, but soon a collective state of consciousness will surface, through the realization of the truth. Lucifer is blamed for our conscious slumber. He's believed to be the dark force of our mind which prevents us from understanding reality due to the false perceptions he's led us to believe. Our inaccurate beliefs about God the Father and Creator are of his device, and are preventing our awareness of the new age. Ironically, there's truth in this belief. Unfortunately Christians are pretty much powerless because they don't understand the Truth about what they believe. The blind are leading the blind.



The New Age Movement believes that the Masters will soon return to us to assist in humanities realization of the divine plan. What will mankind say when these masters materialize, displaying signs and wonders beyond our imagination? What will we say to the revelation that we are not the creation of God the Father, but the result of alien hybridization millions of years ago? How will we apologize to our fellow citizens for our disbelief in their victimization by aliens in UFO's, when we are introduced to the new and improved species created from stolen abductee seed? What will we assume when we see that there are a variety of aliens visiting our planet and some not so hospitable? What indeed? Everybody knows seeing is believing. Better yet, What if we're genetically linked to these Aliens? What if our DNA matches up? Genesis 6 claims it's a very good possibility!



How can you dispute what you see with your own eyes? The new gospel is going to appear to be the logical explanation, and our former misconceived religious beliefs will pass away as we fall away. Some of us who understand the Truth will try to expose the deception, but attempting to disprove reality will be a difficult task, considering the fact that Christianity has been proven to be a farce, our credibility will be questionable. Who in their right mind will consider our warning? I guess we're going to find out what washed in the blood really means. How many of you have the faith to stand against these odds? Or let me rephrase that, How many of you have the certainty to stand against these odds? because faith isn't going to be enough.]]> Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:45:48 -0230 https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3700/a-happy-ending https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3700


I got in, we began talking. I offered to give her money for gas, she declined. She said she was divorced, had 3 kids and worked at the Dollar Store. She said she was on her way to try and buy a cheep bike for her eight year old son. Someone had apparently made fun of him because he was riding his sisters old pink bike. I said "I have a bike" (I knew I had at least 2 or 3 bikes in my shed that my kids used to ride. They all drive cars now) I said "I'll give you one." She said "Oh that would be wonderful". She went on to tell me that she could hardly make ends meet, and didn't know where she was going to get the money to even buy a used bike.



We arrived at my house, luckily I had a touch pad entry on my garage doors. I got the keys opened the shed and there it was my sons old "Silver Streak" It was a nice bike, a little rusty, but a Cadillac of 2 wheelers. She gasped "Oh my son's going to love me" I was happy. She quickly put the bike in the back of her van and returned me to my car.



I thought as I got back in my car "God surely works in mysterious ways" What a good day...................]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:58:57 -0230 https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3686/the-persecution-of-christians https://indiegospel.net/sarah-mazzie/blog/3686




Hi Everyone,



I regret that I had to ban a member for continually posting what most Christians consider to be obvious and flagrant heresy.



.................So, I suppose you're taking up where the Reformations took off?



One mans truth, is another mans heresy, and only God is infallible.



................... That's correct, and obviously you're beliefs are 100% accurate so who can argue with you?



Therefore, tremendous efforts should be made to respect an individuals freedom of conscience, and expression.



............So you're protecting others from heresy? Is that what Jesus would do? If I recall he never turned his back on anyone, obviously the faith you represent is something other than what Jesus taught.



That being said, it is also necessary to ...contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3)



..........Really? Is that what you believe you're doing? Belief can be very powerful, it can also be very deceiving especially when you believe the Truth is something it isn't.



It is the goal of this network to spread the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, as recorded in Scripture.



...............Really?



Much freedom is given for opinions and debate, but those only interested in spreading obvious and flagrant heresies, which they are not able to defend by Scripture and reason, will be banned.



.........It's very unfortunate that you view the Christian religion as something that needs your defense. I would think your part as a Christian would be to be a good example, not guard the gates, and brand heretics.





The volunteer admin staff, and myself, reached the consensus, that this particular member had crossed that line, and repeated warnings were not heeded.



........Did you ever for one moment think that your own beliefs are the ones that are corrupt? I didn't think so.



The posting regulations are linked below. This was an extreme case, and I am not aware of anyone else who is in violation.



.............Add my name to your list. I no longer wish to be a part of an organization which persecutes fellow Christians for not dotting their I's and crossing their T's
