Further, as a Christian and Methodist, I believe Salvation is for all people, not for a select few, in Jesus' time, the Gospel was for Jews, Hebrews, Gentiles, the Greek, etc, All people were included, none excluded. I in my Christian journey, have come to know a God that loves me as imperfect as I am, a God who takes the unqualified and unworthy and makes them worthy and qualifies them. A God who does not look at the outside but the inside, who is not limited, like human beings are, in understanding, but God's understanding transcends space and time and my Theological submission is that even Homosexuals, criminals, evil etc. They all are the masterpiece of Gods hand, they have the same Spirit, 'Ruach', that breathed into me, they are the image of God and when preaching seeks to divide rather than unite, we should not be surprised why the phews are empty and Christianity continues to loose its significance in society. A church that is unable to forgive and embrace, ain't got no authority to speak!!!!!!!!
Asiba khonzi abaphansi, siyabakhumbula. If abaphansi need to be discarded completely, then why did Jesus allow to be called by his ancestor, 'Jesus son of David'? Why is the Gospel of Jesus according to Matthew read and acceptable by all Christians when it begins with the ancestors of Jesus? If these ancestors were demons why are they in the Holy Bible? Why after the crucifixion of Jesus, did the disciples go to the tomb, if the dead are demons? Why does the same Bible then say, 'Though the dead are dead, they still speak', how do we accept that the dead are demons if the Bible says, though dead, they speak? How do you explain 2 Kings 13 over 20 and 21, dead man that touched the bones of Elisha and rose back to life? Please help, I'm a young Theologian that is very troubled by some teachings that seek to contradict what the Bible actually says. Please help me understand the issue of ancestors from a Theological perspective with scripture references, so that I can learn and understand
