Re: Why - seeking other opinions and answers!

Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

remove thy candlestick out of his place — I will take away the Church from Ephesus and remove it elsewhere. “It is removal of the candlestick, not extinction of the candle, which is threatened here; judgment for some, but that very judgment the occasion of mercy for others. So it has been. The seat of the Church has been changed, but the Church itself survives. What the west has lost, the east has gained. One who lately visited Ephesus found only three Christians there, and these so ignorant as scarcely to have heard the names of St. Paul or St. John” [Trench].

Mat 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Mat 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Look at the countries like Africa, God is moveing with might and power,hundreds, mabe thousands become beleivers every day.
Again look at Mat 21;43 notice( nation). GOD will Have his people, with or with out us,

I to beleive the answer for us is in smaller cells, of true worship, getting back to the Gospel. Not dissecting Gods word, but taking it as it is and asking for revelation through the Spirit rather than man.Get back to the GOOD NEWS,

in most of these third world contries, in which GOD is moveing, The people arn't very educated, they take what they read, and hear, at face value,and pass it on, before, Theolgians,pervert it.

GOD"S WILL BE DONE
