Notice how christians protect themselves, they will not allow themselves to be challenged unless you fall under their thumb.
So Christ like?
He took on the whole world, not hide!

Well hello to you too :)
If you want to have a respectful conversation, let me know. I have zero interest in flaming others or being flamed.

I like your attitude. Challenge all Christians right out of the gate! So what exactly does Mr. "Agnostic" object to?

Nothing I like better than a good challenge....

What’s on your mind?

Hey Enoch, I apologize. Couple too many Wobblies I guess.
I’ll just shoot some thoughts from the hip,
If a verse in the bible starts with “therefore shall” is what follows considered a prophecy?

Thanks for the hug, he that loveth not, knoweth not God for God is love.
I’ve tried loving, it didn’t work, just being honest.
So I prayed that God could love people through me I just wanted to experience it. It was quite a ride.

To be a christian is one a vessel of Christ or the seed?
A little more detail would be good....I like to explore what the Bible says but I have to know what wavelength you are on before I venture an opinion.

Its too easy to misinterpret someone's words on internet forums.....so for the sake of clarity, could you please expand on your question in plain English, which is what I speak....:D

Hmmm. A patient one, sign of wisdom and confidence. Thanks for the welcome.
Presume that everyone is striving to be on God's side. Of course, not everyone is, but allow each one to show his own colors. After that...?

Plain English leaves opportunity for much rebuke, but here goes.
If Christ is implanted in you at the time of you being born again, you’d be a vessel, but as Christ The Word of God) grows in you you began to see him more and more as he is. Eventually he may come to full fruition and you two would be as one. This is a great mystery, but I speak of Christ and the church. Mixed English I guess but the point is there…… maybe…. Lol

We’ll said, I can learn a lot from you, thank you. I’m like an old dry branch, I was once green and full of life.
I’ve seen a lot, but now tired of trying, maybe. However I can still be used to start a fire, which is my goal.

Some have said that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. I certainly disagree. This old dog [me] is certainly a lot slower than he was in earlier years, but still teachable.
Of course, who our teacher is, can make a difference.

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26

Remember ace is a very interesting word.
As oft as you gather together do this in rememberance of me.
I’ve wondered,
If the church is a many “membered” body. Will the churches have to come together in agreement someday to put the pieces back together? Re member Christ as a whole for all the world to see?

That's a good one. Not necessarily prophetic, but it could be depending on context. So here is a prophetic use of "therefore shall": Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Genesis 1:24)

Here Adam is prophesying about human marriage, and he speaks as a prophet since the Lord Jesus Christ made this binding for all human marriages: And [Jesus] said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (Matthew 19:5)
