The new commandment is for the disciples to love each other as Christ has loved them... Is their a day better than today to walk in love for the brothers and the Spirit of the Lord? :)

And who applies the blood of Christ... Us, or Christ? It is Christ of course. If he wishes to save them because they have shown love, then they are saved indeed. Less punishment? The unrighteous are destroyed. What is less? Half destroyed? It is those who claim Christ but do not obey him that...

I couldn't care less for man's politics... God's on the other hand... :) We've so often made God into our God, the democratic politically correct God. Some think he's conservative, others think he's liberal.... But God is not into any of this 'political correctedness'. He is a king, and his...

That's like saying he'll have mercy on them but he certainly won't be merciful! :huh: It's not biblical either! Rather the word says the righteous are 'scarcely saved', in the sense of barely. So those who do what is right DO receive salvation, but just.... Whereas we are called to 'so great a...

For those who die without knowing the gospel, mercy is given to those who loved. Loving your neighbor, who you see, is the fulfillement of the law. Thus the men who loved those arouned them and showed mercy will receive mercy. They are of the second ressurection and attain to life. Those who do...

I always thought it was 17... :huh: A kingdom divided against itself cannot... Oops! Guess I quoted that in the wrong thread! ;) God is not divided, he is one, and so are his people.

Honesty comes above all. A humble person can take a hard message and learn from it. A proud man rejects it. God often puts an offense, something that is not 'politically correct', so that only the meek, the humble, and those with atleast little faith would follow. 'Unless you eat my body and...

God builds his church. Man have desired to build it, and have done it their own way, but the church is not ours, it is his. Only by following the Spirit can we be one with him.

Amen! We are to live in community, seeking his Spirit, walking in his power... In brotherly love, and in his life. :)

It is very simple... We do not live in revival... We do not live in the power of the Spirit. Christ came to train men to be fit containers for his power and glory... He does the same always... But now many are being trained, until the time comes. Then God will once again pour out his Spirit...

All men in their own power are slaves to sin. The devil can have us in an instant, just turn the right switches. Only when we walk in the power of God are we truly overcoming, to the fullness of it. We are not at this point today, atleast for the majority. God is preparing his people that he...

Baptized into one Spirit... The Spirit of Christ. There is no division among God's people.

I see no necessity in meeting a specific day... As a matter of fact, the New Testament principle is to meet every day!

Jesus prays that those who follow him would be one with him, and with each other... Thus being his body. The most basic things of the gospel are that we are one in Christ, through one baptism, one spirit. These ideas are so far removed from the power of the gospel.... The life of Christ is...

The New Covenant is according to the Spirit and not the flesh. The people of God are scattered in all nations, but all nations of themselves are worldly. God's kingdom is NOT of this world.

The world is like a large room, that is full of darkness, and has no windows. The church within in is as a light, with a switch. Men will either desire to turn the light on, that they might be awake, or they will seek to shut if off, that they might sleep, but the true church will never leave...

The gospel of Grace is the good news that now we have the power to be as God is. It is about the new, Christ in us, by which we can walk. The gospel of grace is the gospel of the power of God made available that we would be as he is. It is the possibility of all righteousness being fulfilled in...

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,”[d] 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him...

Shirley, sister, blessings to you! There is a difference between expressing things a different way and actually having another direction... The division is necessary. Our Lord has said, I will set brother against father, and daughter against mother. I understand this to mean that until we come...

'We're all sinners' is true in the sense that all have sinned, and none are righteous like GOD. :) But the thing is that there is power available in God to be like him, that's what is called grace. If we draw near by faith, we can tap into it. If we surrender ourselves to God, he is faithful to...
