Try this. Maybe
it will help put things in perspective:
Rev. 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door AND believes that the rapture is pre-tribulational,
then I will come in and eat with him and he with me.
Just doesn't
sound quite right does it? How about these?
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND
is a member of the correction denomination, then I will come
in and eat with him and he with me.
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND
is NOT a member one of the INCORRECT denominations, then I
will come in and eat with him and he with me.
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND
insists on only using the Authorized 1611 King James, then I
will come in and eat with him and he with me.
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND
has a perfect understanding of the Trinity, then I will come
in and eat with him and he with me.
Hmmm. Sure
can't get comfy with those either! Let's keep trying.
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND
helped pay for the new chandelier in the sanctuary,
then I will come in and eat with him and he with me.
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND
is sure that I don't do signs and miracles anymore, then I
will come in and eat with him and he with me.
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND
is clear that I don't talk to people anymore since the Bible was completed,
then I will come in and eat with him and he with me.
Wow, that last
one is REALLY screwy! How do we hear His voice to know He's there if
we don't think He speaks anymore? That's a problem. I wouldn't want
to be the pastor preaching that one!
So try it
yourself. Just plug anything in there and see if it still sounds like Jesus.
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door AND__________________________,
then I will come in and eat with him and he with me.
(I guess it's
possible that all you have to do is answer the door, but that's just
too simple. There has to be more to it than that! Right? I
mean, what's the point of all our books and seminaries and
denominations if it's as simple as that?!)
How about this:
For God so
loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoseover
believeth in Him AND was a five-point Calvinist
would be saved.
No? Aw,
c'mon! These? It's fun! Go find your own verses and have a game
with your friends.
If you abide in
Me, then I will abide in you SO LONG AS you never speak in tongues.
If you abide in
Me, then I will abide in you UNLESS you use drums and overhead
projectors in your church.
And this is the
testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his
Son. He who has the Son AND a proper technique in administering Communion
has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
Yet to all who
received him, to those who believed in his name AND were quick
to find error in another Brother, he gave the right to become
children of God—
Oh, and don't
worry about that verse about not adding anything to the Bible. He was
probably just kidding. Feel free to doctor it up however you like and
tell everyone Jesus said it. I'm sure He won't mind.
