Churches don't typically deal with sin in the camp....and that is very detrimental to the church and its' members. Let me give you an example of a religious spirit. A woman goes to the elders of the church and confides that her husband beats and terrorizes her at home. Instead of dealing with...

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.....I'm sure nobody is advocating yelling at folks or abandoning them. In 2 Corinthians Paul even wrote about restoring to the fold the one who he had earlier instructed needed to be disfellowshipped. I imagine there would have to be enough contact or...

It depends on what kind of love we are talking about. Human fleshly love (which is a fleshly emotion) and often nothing more than human self-righteousness and pretense in itself........or God's love which is not of the flesh because it is not of our own, but is of His Spirit.

I'm afraid it is sad for any who are in agreement with the co-exist movement.....because it is a way that seemeth right to man but leads to death. This is the spirit of the world infecting the church.....and it's deceptive. Don't expect utopia on this earth at any time Epi....Jesus said the...

Sister, we need ears to hear what the Spirit is saying with these things......friendship with the world is enmity with God. This means born again believers are in the world but not OF it.....because we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit of God....the spirit of the world...

It's interesting that there is no outcry at all against Hamas for hiding amongst their own civilians, and even forcing them at gunpoint not to leave.......and there is no demand by the UN for Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinian (fellow Arabs and Muslims) refugees. Yet there is always an...

Amen brother....you keep exposing it. It's coming from Christendom infected with the spirit of the world (Babylon)....as well as Judaism is infected with the same too, sadly.

Amen. 1Pe 4:17-19 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” So then, those who...

Oh? Weren't you just arguing with me that Jesus didn't need perfecting? However, I'm going to consider whether those scrips could be speaking on more than one level at the same time....I will wait on the Lord for that. In the meantime....we better not be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Yes. If we confess our sins He will be faithful to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. But do the perfected need to be perfected?

It's as though you didn't read those scrips. You would need ears to hear this as well.......that though we are sons (selah...that means we are sanctified) yet learn we obedience by the things we suffer......we too are being perfected through suffering. And just to say regarding an earlier...

Doesn't sound like you allow that there's much of the new testament at all that was written for who are "only" born again of His Spirit but are not yet perfect. You are calling pretenders many who are on the Way, carrying their crosses, but have not yet reached the end. We are not supposed...

Washing of feet and Lord's supper.... (Notice how the passage below is speaking to sacrifices and the eating of them. 1 Cor 10:14-22 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of...

Of course He was always without sin.....but the point is that His life was the example and pattern that we are to follow......He humbled Himself and set the example for us even though He didn't need it Himself (like when He was baptized).......it took the suffering over the course of His life to...

Jesus said they were clean through the word spoken to them. Same as us. But clean by association is good too I think, depending on how one means it.....we could say we are also clean by association with the Spirit who lives in us. It is His presence that sanctifies us. We still need to have...

Bible says Jesus LEARNED obedience by the things which He suffered....and then was perfected by His death. And we are to follow in His footsteps. I can bring a bunch of scriptures to this effect but have to go out today. From what I can see I think we need to focus on likewise obeying and...

I know one thing....that I can't change myself.....changes in my life have come from the Lord and not myself and I keep looking to Him to change me more. What are your thoughts on what Jesus said about being every whit clean, but needing to allow Him to wash our feet?

People are only actually growing if they are. I could name things that I have died to over the years, by the grace of God and His working in my life. Jesus said you have had the bath and are every whit clean...but we still need to allow Him to wash our feet. We ARE growing up into the Head...

oh here, have some :watching and waiting: with that coffee. :)
