TEACHING & LEARNING WITH A PURPOSE

There are teachers in the Christian faith that talks & write to no ends-if you would allow them, they would fill every thing with their scribbles…drown and lull to sleep the believers who donot understand themselves and their faith. They think that with their much talk and learning they are in the faith; but they donot know that they are walking in vain conversation-just like their fathers did! While they mumble their mumbo jumbo…everyone of them keep on transgressing the Laws and /or commandments of God because they misinterpreted it or are unaware of it!

So ,Why do we teach & what is it’s purpose?

The purpose of teaching the Word of God is for us to know the will of God that we might do them! Or as in the scriptures:

“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.”Deuteronomy 29:29

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only.” -James 1:22.

“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”Matthew 5:19.

That is why talking & talking and talking while we leave alone those who are being badly affected by the twisting and tampering of the Laws of God, is like an insult to our Savior and our God. He hath placed His spirit upon us to set free the captives…and as i have already many times repeated, the major tampering and twisting on God Laws had been made on :

MARRIAGE by the implementing SHOULD BE MONOGAMY DOCTRINE on all!
