Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

All are, but different

These are star fruits; yes, all of them are star fruits, all from the same plant; none is a false star fruit; none is more star fruit than the others. Nevertheless, they do differ widely in their qualities - in terms of their form, beauty, juiciness, texture, sweetness, and usefulness to the husbandman.

Do you get the point yet?

Why do some speak and think in terms of true and false when they speak of believers, faith, church, etc?

Which star fruit represents you as a child of God?

(Stop the stupid* idea of the true/false child of God; one is either a child or not a child of God. Children of God varies widely in spiritual stature.
