Good intentions and the path you are on by Gary Rose

Nice looking dog and that beam of light is wonderful, but if God ever said this, it was never recorded in the Scriptures. Bad news for all us "Dog Lovers"! This picture falls into the category of well intentioned errors. While this one seems harmless enough, is is not. Why? Because misquoting God leads to error, no matter how well intentioned. Consider the great evangelist Paul...

 

Galatians, Chapter 1 (World English Bible)

 ¹¹ But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.  ¹² For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.  ¹³ For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God and ravaged it.  ¹⁴ I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.  ¹⁵ But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace  ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,  ¹⁷ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus. 

¹⁸ Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days.  ¹⁹ But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.  ²⁰ Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.  ²¹ Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.  ²² I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,  ²³ but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”  ²⁴ So they glorified God in me. (emp. added, vss. 13-14, 20-24)

Paul, tried to destroy Christianity and God put him on a new path, gave him a new mission and a new love- Christ! Be very sure that you are on the right path before you try to do something for God. 

Jesus said:

Matthew, Chapter 7  (World English Bible)

 ²⁴  “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.  ²⁵  The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.  ²⁶  Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.   ²⁷  The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

According to God, we should listen to Jesus...

Matthew, Chapter 17 (World English Bible)

¹ After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves. ² He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.  ³ Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him. 

  ⁴ Peter answered, and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 

  ⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” (emp. added, vs. 5c, GDR)

  ⁶ When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.  ⁷ Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”   ⁸ Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.  ⁹ As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”

 Think about it; if you really follow what Jesus says to do, you really can't go wrong. Why? Because Jesus is the one who saves, that's why!!!!

Acts, Chapter 4  (World English Bible)

 ¹² There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
