Give unto Ceasar's that which is of Ceasar's and give unto God that which is of Gods. That has been the way of God since he sent the law through Moses.Matt.12:36-37 says,But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. That means even today our actions speak louder than words and what you say shows where the heart is.How many so called Christians of all ages do the same things as others in the world. We are in this world but not of this world if your a true Believer. Using the name Christian today doesn't mean much.As God said,Judgment start at the house of God.You can't go to church today and profess your a child of God and then take time off the other six and one half days.You don't have potluck Wednesday dinner and laugh and joke the rest of the time and maybe talk about God.What church?

I will tell you ,no. And if none of these saves one soul,It is time to found out why. Only the word of God can save us and there is no way you can know God unless you search it out. God does the saving. God is the one who gives us his will for us to believe,not because we do anything. Cry for mercy God says.The saying," God hates the sin but not the sinner",well ,the wages of sin is death, there is no discussions to God about that,there no way around it;You can reason with yourself and stay with doctrines of men but as God will Judge the church,so many will fail and think they were saved.Read every single sin against God in the old Testament and then read the four Gospels.
