To teach the letter is to be a lawyer. It brings death. To teach the spirit of the word is life!!
So it can make you cranky to be told you have to be under a man somewhere who teaches the outside of the cup. All the credentials are in place but he has no unction. He does not know the spirit of the word because God has not yet taught him this.

But I wonder how to take this in contrast with Revelation 2 and onward for a little bit...

Why is it wrong to be aware and speak about what the Bible taught would happen?
Yes, my first thought was the letters to the 7 churches, and also the one to those foolish Galatians.

I was in a congregation once, around Palm Sunday/Easter, and the pastor brought a donkey in through the midst of us to the front. For some reason my stress levels went into overload and I did not enjoy this "object lesson" at all.

It was a baited down rigger that caught a few fish?
There are fishermen and then again there are fishermen:
"And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake." Luke 5:6

"Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken." John 21:11

1 Corinthians 11:18-19 KJV
18) For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19) For there must be also heresies (disunity) among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

This is the right kind of division, between the approved and not approved.

We must stand fast to faith in Christ, and tolerate no adulteration to the pure Gospel.

But among those who hold to the truth, let's press onward to the prize, and not indescriminately tear each other down.

Much love!
Devin put a like on this , yet agrees with prayers to mary , to saints and to angels . I never seen that man once warn against it
and i watch who he has attached himself too . THEE faith and others . Devin is in danger . I love the man
but often folks can put likes on things and yet the doctrine they believe and hold too , IS MENS DOCTRINE NOT TRUTH .
How often i have warned folks , i love gary so i warned him , I love devin so iwarned him , i love thee faith so i warn him
Yet i feel like a man with leprocisy . WHEN I warn these people , I never see folks agreeing with my warnings .
Dont you all love the people . What was so wrong with what i told gary . I knew nothing of his church
but the second he said , YES HE DOES PRAY to mary , venerate mary and etc , OUT OF LOVE and fear for his soul
i DID SOMETHING . But the moment i did , NO ONE backed me up . WHY .
WHY would anyone let folks go in a direction that is deadly dangerous to their soul . WHY .
I would not let anyones child skate on thin ice . SO I SURE WONT Let anyone skate on false doctrine that i know
the end of is certain death . FOLKS we NEED TO BUCKLE UP with all armour and stop trying to find common ground
and start trying to help Folks . One agreed with me
but i wont mention their name lest the wolves turn on her
and try and rip her apart .

Yeah, I don't see that it has to be indoors, nor not in a tree house, or whatever. Just we can be together.

Much love!
Even so, but also... "in his name", so that he is there in our midst!

OK, I can see you don't know me. Yes I watch and attend Catholic Mass. But I don't pray to mary the saints or angels. And I think that is the point of this thread. That we don't have to believe all of what a church proposes to join them in worship. You seem to think otherwise and condemn people that do. The practicing of condemning I find very judgmental. Warning is one thing, but that is not what you do, you condemn people. You are repeatedly attacking my character and the Catholic church, stop!

Thanks devin I appreciate it. I didn't know about that but I saw the snow will be bad so I'll stock up just in case.

Pain is right behind my chest bones (??? What do you call them?) Very weird feeling and lightheaded, so not trying to scare anyone but prayers are welcomed and I need to lay down
Praying for you now!

Carry on my friend!

Are not the babies, the teenagers, the young adults and the elderly allowed to pray and worship together? Even among the most elderly, have any of them already overcome all of the world as Jesus did? Is God not still working on us as we continue seeking His face?

Praise His holy name!

You attend catholic mass . That would be like me attending a massive skating on thin ice event .
I would be warning everyone i could DONT GET ON THAT ICE .
HOW On earth can you sit in such a dangerous place and not warn ANYONE . THEY are in dire danger .
DIRE DANGER . WHERE IS YOUR LOVE . WHERE IS IT . WHERE .
Why are you warning me? What do you think is going to happen to me if I attend Catholic Mass?

Its them . They are in dire grave danger . How can you let folks sit in dire danger and say nothing .
WHERE IS THE LOVE IN THAT . LOVE . yeah the most overused word by this generation and yet they know NOTHING OF IT .
LOVE desires the death of none . YET most folks are so strung up on this unity unity stuff , they wont warn anyone in dire danger .
WHY IS that . IF you saw a child about to walk on thin ice , JUST cause they love to skate , WOULD YOU JUST LET THEM SKATE
or would you try and do something to stop them , to save them from the dire danger .
YOU do nothing . I love you my friend , but you are in dire danger yourself , cause i do not see the LOVE OF GOD IN YOU .
How can you let them die in danger and sin . Think about what i am saying . I am not here to condemn you , but to HELP YOU .

Sound it out dear brother. Ring out the biblical truth. It’s music to lambs’s ears.

Let’s stay in our KJV Bibles and praise the glorious biblical Lord Jesus.

I decide when and who I rebuke, chastise or council, not you. Stop harassing me for attending Catholic mass.

No, I think my heart was squeezing for maybe 10 seconds but it's done now. I'm alright.

Thats it no more energy drinks
Or coffee

I didn't eat anything today and drank one of those Bang drinks and that was it. A little rest and I'll be okay. :)
March on sister . Ease up on that stuff . We have the glorious LORD . Also if you want i have a sister
and we can do prayer meetings and bible reads on the phone . ITS SO PEACEFUL SISTER .

Well I think you’d be hard pressed to find any gathering or denomination that doesn’t have some harmful doctrine. But try to talk about it and you’ll be awful sorry you dared to touch the idols of their fathers!
I happen to know of folks that do gather , and not one word of false doctrine is read or taught .
GOD will lead the lambs to flock together in little groups . Now as for mainstream , i have to agree , i cant seem to find
a church that dont teach massive and many and many and massive falsehoods . BUT this dont mean
some lambs have not gathered . I had rather watch concrete cure than to sit under satan or his brother francis and his brethren
within even the protestant realm . Does that make me the enemy cause i correct and tell the truth .

No. Did you think I was calling you an enemy? But call out the other leaven too. Many men in Protestantism also worship the idols of their fathers. Name ALL the idols.

Maybe…a thread. I may start it…
