There is no leader like Jesus Christ, who is the perfect high priest and best brother we've got! I'm praying that the church world would let go of it's desire to lead each other and follow Christ to God. The witness of God is greater and does testify that Jesus is His son. We need to expect to be taught by the holy spirit inside of us. We need to anticipate our own individual empowerment to hear His voice and to put off the teachings of men. Any church that lectures to create one mind hasn't figured it out yet. Be still and know that God is the Father and God of Jesus Christ. Believe me, the world has lectures and seminars. The church world should come out of the world and put off these methodolgies. We don't need indoctrination; we have the mind of Christ. We are born again and spiritual beings. It may sound crazy, but we've got to stop being the old man and start humbling ourselves as the priests unto God that we all are by our faith in Jesus Christ, God's first begotten son.
Also, don't be confused on what we are saved from. For God so loved us that He gave us His only begotten son. This is love to the extreme, and He gave up His son for us so that we could be grafted in with the first begotten and become His children. Just as Christ was born of God before the foundation of the world, we are now the children of God in Christ. Because God see us as Christ by our faith in Christ, we are found blameless and pure to God.
Don't believe doctrines that create systems of spiritual authority. To us there is but one high priest, Jesus Christ. To us there is but one that is righteous, Jesus Christ. To us there is but one in whom we are saved, Jesus Christ. No man should be viewed as your sage. No man should be given the title pastor. The five-fold ministry is for the edification of the body. Being that you are born again (now) by your faith in Christ, how then do you cling to fleshly leadership? If you think that your pastor is your spiritual leader, then that is still error. We must measure all men by the spirit of God inside of us. We should accept no man as our maintained leader. And furthermore, no man is a responsible GUIDE if he doesn't lead another to Christ. And if we are leading the lost to Christ, then they are found in him and righteous. Therefore, let our leadership be scarce but let us promote Christ in all. We shouldn't think of ourselves as the function that we are within the body of Christ. Whatever God uses us in, it is not important as a means to entitlement. May we find comfort and peace in being God's children. May we find that title as more than enough, and may we all be quick to point people to Christ. Jesus Christ is a good high priest and leads all men to God. And furthermore, no man can come to God but by His son, Jesus Christ.
While we have all been born again by our faith in Christ, Jesus Christ is the only way. May our names be forgotten to the men we GUIDE to Christ, and may Jesus Christ be promoted above all names as the son of God that he is.
Be careful with our, as in mankind's, tendency to follow doctrines. We have but one cornerstone, Jesus Christ - God's first begotten son. You are not saved by your faith that men are eternal and they are not. God made us lesser than the angels unto the suffering of death. Then, He kicked us out of the garden lest we eat from the tree of life and live forever. Don't believe convenient (for false doctrines) definitions of the soul. Believe that men are of the dust and from the dust they shall go back to dust. Believe that eternal life is only found in Jesus Christ, God's first begotten son. Men are not eternal, but the children of God will reign with God and His first begotten son over men in the new earth.
If the doctrine of eternal torment is severely rooted in your faith, then work to hide it's terror by letting the love of God reign supreme in your speech and thought. It is God's goodness that leads men to repentance. The message of eternal torment makes sense to men because we are by nature tyrants, but God is good and not like a man that He needs tyranny. For God loves us, and having loved us without flaw, He is confident beyond our understanding and readily prepared to chase our faithlessness with power and love. By even our minor and hesitant preference in Christ, God is able to testify of His son, Jesus Christ. Upon turning to Jesus Christ, we are emboldened with the knowledge of what we are no longer and we live for hope (in Christ) for what we will be!
Don't be deceived, Christ is all we need. We must pursue God's teachings via His holy spirit in us. We are all one even as the Father and His son, Jesus Christ, are one. With that said, we are not a blob or meaningless collective. We are a family! The Father sent His son to declare Himself. That we may all be the children of God even as Jesus Christ is his Father's son. Don't be deceived! Put off false and hopeless doctrines that blur God's love for Jesus Christ. Though Jesus made all things, he is God's first begotten child. Let us make man in our image! That us is the Father and His son, Jesus Christ. Nothing that was made was made without Jesus Christ, for it pleased the Father that in Jesus Christ would all His fullness dwell! Jesus Christ is God's first creation, but what Father calls His son a creation? The Father said I will be to you a Father, and you will be to Me a son!
Praise God! He has truly given us His son! It isn't complicated because the mystery was revealed by Christ. Jesus came to not only declare his Father, but to declare the love which he had felt before the foundation of the world! Believe on the name of God's first begotten son, that it is all!
