Keeping Your Ford All Ford

That is why I teach the gospel. It is nothing more or less than the good news that Jesus came as a babe, born without sin, lived a sinless life, suffered, was crucified, buried, risen, ascended to heaven and is coming again. When we appropriate His sacrifice we died with Him, we were buried with Him, we were risen with Him, and we will some day rise and live with Him. This is the highway of Holiness that was spoken about in Psalms. It was to be a highway of holiness that would be simple to follow. Man has tacked on the non-standard accessories and parts. They have built something that will not present the Life of Christ because it is so full of the junk of theology and eschatology. We need to lay aside the weights and the sin that does beset us. Note that the writer of Hebrews separated weights and sin. Sin everyone should understand. What are weights? They are things we involve ourselves in that keep us from running well. Much of the study of theology and eschatology beyond the basics of the faith are just that, weights. Jesus is coming back. He is coming in like manner as the disciples saw him go. That is certain. How and when he is returning is nothing more than worthless conjecture and the root of much strife. Let us lay these aside and concentrate on keeping the Gospel the whole Gospel and nothing more. After all, the gospel is adequate without our help.

Heb 12:1

1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Note… I believe an angstrom is the smallest unit of length. It is 1/100,000,000 of a centimeter long. A sheet of paper is approximately 1,000,000 angstroms thick. I believe that when it comes to the word of God we cannot afford to ever back up even that much.
