THE ETERNAL MESSAGE OF THE CROSS DOES NOT CHANGE. Josimar Salum


THE ETERNAL MESSAGE OF THE CROSS DOES NOT CHANGE

Josimar Salum


The Gospel of the Kingdom proclaimed by Jesus is the same for all peoples.  The Message is not contextualized, possibly the way of communicating it.  And it is far beyond the salvation of the soul alone.


 The Eternal Church is not based on experiences, but on the Eternal and Immutable Word of God.


 Being based on the Word, the Church is also immutable, even because it is the Body of Christ and Christ does not change.


 The Christian church was sliced ​​into little churches - “Eklesticons” - and, throughout history, it remained fragmented into tribes.  Each has its tribe, and each tribe has its leaders of 1000, 100 or 50 or 30 thousand, 40 thousand.  The Church is indivisible.


 Each one starts his little church, the result of the separation of another little church, like someone who founds a bar on every corner.


 The "monarchs" of each "Eklesticon" say that they receive methods, strategies and visions and attribute them to God.  They say that God is the one who raised their ministries, and they can no longer live in the ministry of others.  They cannot share the other's view because, in fact, each has its own view and, therefore, under such condition, none is of God.


 No vision of God divides His people.  But these leaders break down and take many sheep and disciples of Jesus to a corner, slicing the flock of God.


 According to them, everything is part of the evolution of the church, in whose name solitary leaders of great denominations assume - for each kingdom a king - in whose name each one uses the model he wants to lead the people of God.  


Old skins, denominations, networks, churches in homes, virtual churches and churches on TV, cell phones, etc. are being perpetuated.


 Thus, each Christian segment has chosen as it understands and how it wants any system of government that best adapts to each age, culture, creed and particularly to its criteria, according to the personal ambitions of the leader, fruits of his interpretations or his conveniences and especially  promiscuity with political powers: political support and votes in exchange for benefits for themselves and their organizations.


 However, each model and each system is just a stronghold to imprison God's people.


 The Christian church has been - in every age, the historic prison for a large portion of the Flock of God.
