"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."
This single verse bears a very important lesson for today's "Christians", in that, into whatever city we might choose to travel, a "church", of some description, will usually be within a very short distance.
On the surface, that might seem to be a good thing. However, I don't believe the founder of the true Church would see it that way. The New Testament certainly don't teach that there should be a different kind of "church" on every street corner.
The true Church, that Church that was established by Jesus Christ Himself, was founded upon, and is bound to, one "belief system". That system is based on the fundamental teachings of Jesus and His Apostles.
Modern "Christiainity", with the primary purpose of merely increasing it's numbers and making it's message palatable to those who aren't really interested in the first place, has so distorted and watered down the gospel so as to render it almost unidentifiable to those who humbly seek the grace of God.
It is not the responsibility of any true Christian to follow the leadership of anyone other than our Master. It is certainly not the responsibility of any true Christian to preach the divine Word of God to those who really don't won't to hear it. To do that is to cast one's pearls before swine.~
