It saddens me to know that the people whom you trust will be there for you in situations you know they would understand and be able to lift you up.. are the ones pulling you down instead.
It is even sadder to know that people of different faith and beliefs are the ones encouraging you and lifting you up. Giving you hope, pushing you to carry on knowing that they understand you and believe that what you are doing is indeed worth the fight.
And sadder still when these people of the same faith feeds on you that they become Pharisees themselves and forgetting the essence of the church - the body of Christ. Let's pray that God will deal us according to His will that His name will be glorified in the end and we are humbled.

It is like this Mike--- true salvation is through Grace. Not through works. Many Christians today think they are Christians because they make "right" choices, etc. But nothing you can do or think can ever save you! It's only Jesus who can do that, for you!
And so--- if people who "share your faith" are the ones pulling you down, just think, they may not really be sharing your same faith, afterall....
You are right C...
At least these past events made me realize the not everybody who calls the name of Jesus - as the Bible says - are His own and will be saved.
The act simply shows the attitude that of the Sadducee and the Pharisees.
