Hi Tzcho2, What then shall we do with those scriptures that Taken posted? I was quite shocked when I came upon those scriptures in Isaiah and still am not wholly understanding it but, I also see the word "calamity" and "disaster" in other versions so...I have to read the scriptures and take...

Ha, good one Rita...I know there are one or two things about myself that I will only share with a select few. (Ones I know will not reject me because of my past...and we KNOW Christians can turn on us like a snake, and that hurts deeply, especially if you thought they were a friend.) And that...

{JJ} :)

Doctrinal errors exist within every Church, I would think...We're all going to Hell.

Ha, that's a tough one. It's like when you know that somebody is full of bologna, YOU know this but, cannot prove it, lol. "How do you confirm those feelings are what you suspect..." I would say that, many times, we don't really need to confirm our feelings. If it's a possible cheating spouse...

Hello JIF...long time no see. Hope you are well!

"For me inner healing took years, for others it may be instant - God moves in different ways with each of us." Maybe it that the deeper the hurt, the longer it takes. He is faithful to complete the work just, not always overnight! ♥ "Sorry I definately am waffling this time" :D

his afternoon, but had driven for eight hours. So they went into town and settled down early.xx Sry, had to leave post this for a bit. Yes...there are many elderly in my last Church and, many generations of family there. They are most def. set in their ways, lol. And then the rest of this...

I agree about the size of the Church Body. It makes a difference in many ways, good and bad.

Doesn't it ALL bottom out if there were not Love?

Yes, agreed. NO single version of the bible is perfect. Though I will say, it rocks for memorization :)

I love that openness. The last Church I attended, would never have allowed that. Lot's of hierarchy and they WILL NOT be questioned...I learned the hard way when one Elder was teaching Sunday School and I (gulp) asked a question...he did not like the question so brushed me off, rudely at that...

Not sure what you mean by "It starts..." And, also not sure how this relates to my post? Please, bear with my lack of "smarts"...I do get it eventually :)

No, not "ultimately" but Satan attends every Church out there and, he uses week Christians, fake Christians to divide. We're still in a sinful and wicked world so, what makes you think that Satan does not try to split up Church's? I would think it's one of his biggest achievements as...people...

Ah, that's sad. Satan just needs a teeny foothold to divide a True Church of God. Church at Claremont sounds wonderful and very warm and welcoming. I also love all the opportunities offered for the body to come together. I'd go there! ♥

Amen brutha!! :D ♥ His Sovereignty is NEVER diminished - regardless of what some believe..

Sigh Pearl, So sad it didn't last. It was obviously Gods desire for your little Body as, God gave you the money, the car and the tent. And, all the people worked together like, in Acts. THIS is what I crave, this kind of gathering. May I ask why the group didn't last? xo

You and I both are far from being there! And, you have been following Him much longer than I so, what's your excuse???!!!??! :D:D:D:D SO joking with you my lovely sister ♥ It is mostly time I can be selfish with :oops: But...have come a long way from whence I came :) Yes, love is dearly costly...

Lol! You, Pearl, and @"ByGrace" are just giving me more material for my fake "English" accents... Keep 'em comin! :D And as for your post...who did Jesus spend His time with mostly? (other than His Disciples) Sinners, the LOST...if we remove ourselves from the "world" then, how can we possibly...

Simple...TOO simple for some. Anybody can have the Free gift He offers. It would be an insult to the Creator if we brushed His hand away. Free will actually brings God MORE Glory! He is able to make good out of bad for those who love Him (Christians) and are called according to His purpose...
