It does seem like the Pastor at the church makes all the difference. I know that almost everyone loves the pastor at the church that I go to, and many tell me that he is the reason they go there. While I think he is really good and a enjoyable speaker, I don't go there because of that. I go...

This is what I am talking about!!!! As Christian it also turns out that we are just people!! Yeah - we get to know the Lord, and some more closely than others, but that too is just part of being people - people that He made. So what has always tended to bother me is the lack on honestly at...

I like the post, and the reasoning is good, especially in the verse. However, are we living by a rule or according to the voice of our Lord Jesus Christ?? Surely we are going back leaning of our own understanding, are we? Does not "hold fast to the profession of our faith" mean our faith in the...

I delayed answering the above, because I wanted to have some time talking to the Lord about it. It is the type of thing that make a person not want to go to church/temple in the sense that people go to find out about God and worship Him. That verse below are what the Lord decided to talk to me...

I want to apologize if the below sounds a bit harsh. It is not meant to. Yet in this probably lies the reason I don't like going to church I would think it was also the people in the church that makes the difference, but of course it is the Lord our God, Jesus Christ, in the church that makes...

Nice - it does seem you kind of understand :)

When I was young my parents took us kids to church. I am not totally sure why, but I never liked it. I remember my brother and I ditching Sunday school. I never ditched regular school and didn't hate going there. So when I got a bit older (high school and beyond) I didn't go to church, except...

It is of course sad, that people don't understand God!! It is of course because they really don't want to, so they don't seek the Lord. Of course they don't want to be left out, if indeed there is a heaven and next life, so they turn to religion. Religion, if we don't understand, means...

The verse quoted in the quote above is correct!! But often I see where people don't complete the line of thinking that Paul is putting forth - so they don't get the message Paul is saying! Too often I have seen people use 1 Cor 14:14 to conclude that we should not speak in tongues, but that is...

edification (ɛdɪfɪkeɪʃən) UNCOUNTABLE NOUN [oft with poss] If something is done for your edification, it is done to benefit you in some way, for example by teaching you about something. [formal] Demonstrations, films, and videotapes are shown for your edification. Synonyms: instruction...

I like the OP, yet there is something that I see in it that I often see that is gotten wrong around the church. Let me explain: In the above quote we read a scriptures which correctly points out the Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believe. That is such a great...

Yes!!! Still - John 3:16 is a wonderful verse, but it is often misunderstood. It is so often explain that God gave us His Son for a brief moment in time to take on flesh, go to the cross, forgive our sins, and become the perfect sacrifice. Yet He rose from the dead, sent us His Holy Spirit to...

That verse says listen to Him you is with you, and if you have heard Him have you not heard Him tell you personally "I love you"????? I hear that from Him on most days, and the verse c (Jn 3-:16) can you tell you "I love you" but only that He loves His creation. The verse is not personal - it...

I love the verse ""For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 Yet is there not a huge problem with it - or should I say there can be a huge problem with our understanding of it - and it...

I fully agree, and wrote prior, that people need to seek the Lord - but have you not also read that the church is to edify. 1 Cor 14:26 What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all...

Start asking the Lord what He wants you to prayer for! For example: You ask Jesus Christ what He would like you to pray - then pray to the Father asking for what you were told to ask for and do it in "the name of Jesus Christ" We all battle with the powers, principalities, and the dark forces...

Yes - Christ is the Wisdom of God!! So we can and need to listen to Him! And that is done by listening to His Holy Spirit and the words He has for us from our Lord. If we do that we will: "understand a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their riddles." So if we listen to Him and...

Yes - so right!! He sends The Angel of the Lord, the Holy Spirit. He does not speak on His own initiative but as He hears He speaks: Jn 16:13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He...

The point is that all the verses in the OP just mean we need to listen to Him!!!!!!!! The Father put it like this: Mat 17:5 ....and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!” The 'demonstration of the Spirit' is done when...

HUMMMM - I kind of like the OP - some parts are good - like the verses - they are good. I also very much like "wisdom of the wise is the person of Christ" -- yet so much is like gobbledy goop. If wisdom is the person of Christ, and Christ is the living Word of God, and the Holy Spirit does not...
