IS IT LIKE CHERRY-PICKING?


Can we pick and choose which part of the Word of God we want to believe and do away with the others? Can we say part of the Bible is not addressed to us but for some people in different generation? For instance, many Christians read the books of St. Paul and they are happy when he speaks about things like love, Holy Spirit, blessings and so on and they are happy to receive it. However, when he touches on issues like 'a woman should not preach in the church,' a man should not sleep with a man, then they say it's not for us but the people of Corinth? Why????

If we think some aspects of God's word do not apply to us, what makes us convinced that the others were addressed to us? For the same reason, some Christians also argue that the days of miracles are past and we don't need anything like speaking in tongues etc. because we are living in a different era. Where do all these come from? You will be the best person to guess- the old guy who was in the Garden of Eden, who made the Adam and Eve to disbelieve the Word of God. Satan, Serpent, the Beast who was more crafty than any other beast that the Lord God had made! 

Watch out! That guy uses the same old trick. His goal is to make you disbelieve part of God's Word and that is how he is taking your life from you. God richly bless you.
