|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">I received a pithy email article written by Mr. Eze in reply to a Mr. W.O. on 1-20-2013. It poignantly exposes the cockiness of Mr. W.O. who assures himelf of forgiveness and perfection by calling himself a "Christian." Here is Mr. W.O.'s cocky letter with Mr. Eze's witty and incisive retort:</span></p>

The defendant glanced around enthusiastically and answered: not guilty! The judge said well, we will see in the course of the proceedings whether you are guilty or not. Finally, after all presentations and witnesses, all evidence showed that the accused was indeed guilty of the charge. This defendant’s case seems to be the situation in the church since the name Christianity entered into the library of books called the Bible. Because of this tricky word “Christianity” church goers (to be fair “brethren”)<em><strong> have declared themselves not guilty as charged by ascribing to themselves that word Christian</strong></em> (i.e., Christ-like being). </span></div>

Even when outsiders called them Christians by reason of their lifestyle, these set of brethren nevertheless, continued to go by the name brethren. They knew it was not for them or any human to determine their spiritual status;<em><strong> only God alone knows if they lived Jesus-like life, if they ran the race or lived in disobedience to His injunctions</strong></em>.</span></div>

Jesus insisted He must be obeyed at all times if we love Him. Hear His words.</span></div>
