'You People Contradict Yourself', and Other Concerns

June 27, 2017

Featuring:

E-Mail - Dear Arise to Truth,With all due respect and love I must speak against your theology. First a little about myself, I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, God in the flesh. I believe that God is a spirit and Jesus is God's name and his name is above all and I must say that name in word and deed. (I am fully aware that you make light of those who say the name of Jesus in word and deed) I believe that I must have the gift of the Holy Ghost (God's spirit) by speaking in tongues in order to enter the kingdom. (I am fully aware that tongues is a language that someone present may understand or may interpret) I disagree with you that tongues is only confusion and jiberish.My main concern with your theology is your view of one God. You have affirmed that you only believe in one God unfortunately you affirm that there is three separate Gods by misrepresenting Luke 3:22 and Matthew 3:17. You affirm these scriptures prove three Gods are present at the same time. You affirm one means two, three or more and that is contradicting Ephesians 4:5-6. By affirming your theology One Lord, one faith, one baptism you must affirm that there is more than one Lord, more than one faith, more than one baptism that is acceptable to be saved. You affirm that the Church of Christ's faith and baptism is the only one way to be saved. Your theology is highly contradicting. Caller - Asking if signing in the worship service, would it be wrong? What about women doing the signing? Caller - Commenting on the Godhead. Caller - Commenting on premillennialism and how much it is spreading thorugh Middle Tennessee. Caller - Commenting on the Jews and their name and Christ is giving us a new name. Commenting on the plan of baptism. Caller - Explain the passage John 10:13. Caller - Asking a question about a person wanting to marry and concerning the divorce problem. Caller - Asking about the Mormon who is converted to Christianity and has five wives. Caller - Commention on the caller who was asking about the Mormon and the fice wives. Caller - Asking about a counselor and a husband and wife not obeying God's Laws. E-Mail Question Continuting - Mr. Phillps affirms that he is not a father and because of he is not a father, Jesus Christ is not the father. Another concern of your faith is a statement Mr. Simmons made of his daughter acquiring a tattoo. He related he did not like a tattoo but it would not send her to hell. Mr. Simmons would have put anyone else that was not in The Church of Christ in hell for getting a tattoo. This is very contradicting and a double standard. Caller - Wanting the marriage,divorce and remarriage question to be continued. Caller - Talking about calling a man father here on earth. Caller - Is a husband watching pornography commiting adultery? Continuing the e-mail -6-27-17S It is very sad that your theology is highly unrealistic in so much it drives individuals from Christ. Thank you, God bless you, Signed.

Questioning David's Purity & Christ's Cup Passing

June 13, 2017

Featuring:

E-Mail Question(s) - Arise to Truth, Can you please deal with the following two Old Testament Scriptures? I know that the sum of God’s Word is true, but I am having trouble seeing how these two scriptures are compatible/complimentary. 1 Kings 15: 5 states that David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of this life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. However, 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 accounts David ordering the numbering of the people of Israel and Judah. In these two accounts, David says “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O Lord, please take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.” This does not seem that David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite as 1 Kings 15:5 states. Thank you for your help in understanding this matter! Caller - Calling about trouble getting the program on internet. Caller - Was the the human side of Christ tempted or wavered?

E-Mail Question - Hi my question is my boyfriend has been married before his first marriage ended because she cheated on him and she filed for divorce, but she is now deceased. The second time he married a woman that already had two children but they have a 22 year old son together and they divorced about 6 years ago she was the one that filed for divorce because they had too many arguments and bad communication. They still get along for the sake of their son but can he get married to me if he decided too? She is living with her boyfriend. Also, my circumstances are I have been married 3 times and my first marriage I filed for divorce because he cheated on me and pushed me down three flights of stairs while I pregnant with his baby. My second marriage ended because he died. Then my third marriage ended because I caught him and another woman in a bathroom together cheating on me. We were only married three months so I filed for divorce.My boyfriend and I are in are fifties can we get married and still go to heaven? Thank You, listener in Ohio Caller - Commenting on the phrase "unequally yoked"
