Standards

Where are our standards? In Christianity, we have a set of rules that we follow called the TEN COMMANDMENTS...and these are our big rules to follow. And yet we agree on most and so does society like murder and stealing, yet there are some Christians that live a life that is such that they forget about the other ones like lying, cheating, and not forsaking to assembly (meaning keeping the sabbath holy). And in these by following them we honor God. Yet, for reason we have Christians who actually believe it is ok to not go to church and worship alone, when the bible says KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY AND PAUL TELLS US TO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLYING OF OURSELVES. How and why do we have those beliefs? Were are these seperate set of beliefs coming from? Really what defintion can you find in scripture that allows you to say its ok for you to have church all by yourself in your room on sunday, instead of going to church "because you don't like church." In fact Paul thought it was so important we said it again when he said "as you see the times nearing the end, forsake not the assemblying of yourselves."
Lying we have a color code system for them that helps make ourselves feel better about it when we do it. So, we call lies that we have to tell white, little white lies. And ones that are not as BIG to us or don't affect that many people little lies. And the bad ones we call black lies or big lies that we some how believe to be wrong while the white ones or ok. When does it say in the bible that it is ok to lie? When? HOW? Where? Did Jesus ever say its ok to tell some small ones but its not to tell big ones? How can we justify this. How can we justify not going to church because we don't like it and lying because it is needed? I must say we have fallen far from the standard of holiness that our God tells us to uphold when he said in the New Testament "Be holy for I am Holy."
Wether you want to believe it or not we have a HIGHER ARCHY of sin. Murder is big..stealing is bad..lying is ok..cheating on tests no biggie...sexual sins..well men will be men. NO ITS ALL THE SAME IN THE EYES OF GOD. It's all the same. In the eyes of God no sin or worse or more important than any other. Lying is just the same as murder in the eyes of God, yet we as human classify it as a lesser sin and one that we define as ok in the church and we accept it. Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying not to love God nor that it's all hell, fire, and burnstone. What i am saying is, if we are not careful we will become so loose with our faith that almost everything will be ok and acceptable and there will be no more code or standard for us to uphold. We will all just do as we please and try to do the best we can with what we have.
Well we hav the bible as the standard of morality and our code of ethics. Therefore, we are going to be held accountable for what it says and to do what it says is right and to not do what it says is wrong. It is spelled out in scripture and these are TEN THINGS we can't change on, ten things that if everything else fells we ahve to uphold to these ten things. Ladies and gentlemen..i tell you this if one can hold to these ten and do his/her best with everything else in the bible and seek the face of God for help to not do those things that don't please God, everything in the end will be ok. That is your hope and that is your security. In the end, we will be ok...if we serve, follow, and obey GOD.
