From a man who identified himself only as “Church of God Pastor”:<\/span><\/p>\n

Comments:<\/span><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the music but I am disturbd that Pastor John Teaches against Holy Communion. Communion is a Ordinance from Jesus. Do this as often as ye remember me.<\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/span><\/p>\n

This astonishes me. I cannot imagine how anyone could think that I teach against holy communion. It’s the unholy communion ceremony that Christians perform that I warn God’s children to avoid. Please do not confuse God’s holy communion in the Spirit with the worthless, fleshly ceremony that Christians perform.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

=================<\/p>\n

Are we to forget about the shed blood and broken Body after Pentecost? It was the Blod that set us free and redeemed us! \u00a0 Jesus Body was broken for us. Why would you not want to remember that and sacredly honor it?<\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

This also astonishes me. Please help me understand how I fail to honor or remember the holy work of our Savior, Jesus? I know we are not to forget about the blood that Jesus shed, whether it was his natural blood at Calvary or his spiritual blood (the holy ghost) on Pentecost.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

Also the first People to be called christians were at Antioch<\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

My point, exactly. They did not call themselves that. They were called that by others.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

Why would you not want to be called a christian?<\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

Because the religious system of Christianity is an abomination to God. My desire is to grow in grace so that I come to hate Christianity as much as Christ does.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

I find that it is common among pepole that have removed them selves from mainstream churches to have contempt for them. Usually it is because they do not want to submit to authority or they have come out of a church split.Many times the Church won’t ordain them because of too many previous marraiges or something else in their background.<\/span><\/p>\n

===============<\/p>\n

Generally, I have found that to be the case, as well. Is there a reason you bring that subject up?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

==============<\/p>\n

Pastor John you are indeed in left field But at least you not begging for money or preaching prosperity. However rejecting Communion after what Jesus did for us and not wanting to be called a christian for fear that people will associate you with the rest of the body of Christ: Those are tremendous errors I never read past those two things.<\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

(1) As I explained, I have not in the least rejected the holy communion of Christ, just the ceremonial form of it that Christians practice.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

(2) What does rejecting the title “Christian” have to do with the body of Christ?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

I will tell you that Paddling your boat by yourself can get you swept out to sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

No matter how much greek you know It\\’s not greek that saves you IT’S GRACE THROUGH FAITH<\/span><\/p>\n

======================<\/p>\n

Amen. Thanks so much for writing.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
