Anathema:
1Corinthians 16:22
"If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema."
Anathema... the meaning
of... 'Let him be cursed, excluded from the kingdom of GOD. To
be banned or excommunicated'.
Have you ever seen two Bible verses, back to back,
which say essentially the same thing? No? Well, here are a
pair... Galatians 1:8, "But even if we or an
angel from heaven should preach a Gospel to you other than that which
we have preached to you, let
him be Anathema." Galatians 1:9, "As we have said before,
so now I say again: If anyone preach a Gospel to you other than that
which you have received, let
him be Anathema." Now, why do you suppose St. Paul repeated
himself in Gal 1:8-9? Why does anyone purposely repeat him
or herself, except to drive home a very important point? We
humans are usually good at hearing, but are sometimes poor at
listening. St. Paul stressed the very important point, that
if you do not preach the truth,
you have
separated yourself from the kingdom of GOD.
