I wish you could discern God's intent in empowering us by grace to cease from sin and walk as Jesus walked...transforming the world by bringing light to the darkness. The ego should stay out of it.

Religious obsessions: The "saved" obsession. Sodzo...the word in the bible for "saved" mainly refers to deliverance and healings in the here and now. God is good and looks after people...both good and evil. He is showing HIS true colours by His mercy, kindness and patience. The ship that...

Sodzo...the word in the bible for "saved" mainly refers to deliverance and healings in the here and now. God is good and looks after people...both good and evil. He is showing HIS true colours by His mercy, kindness and patience. The ship that Paul was in that was forced ashore but kept from...

I'm amazed that so few can see the agenda that the enemy has brought to fruition here and in the errant churches. Christ in you is the HOPE of glory. But that's not enough for people....a living hope is a GOOD thing. But that's not enough for the ego. God can see the vindictiveness of they...

who do think you are? I am speaking the truth...in a simple honesty. But you are showing a false agenda here. And you're just getting started. I hope that many will see your true colours. I like clarity. And you have made your position clear. You are susceptible and allowing evil into your...

When you mix grace with human nature...you get a monster. You get a spoiled sinner who refuses humility and repentance. Hence the need for the cross of Christ and repentance BEFORE grace is given. "Grace is deceitful" But people have made an end run for grace BEFORE they are ready...and not...

Religious mind loops: Since we see that people are so prone to engaging in mind loops...what are we to do with believers who don't know themselves or realize their own condition? In a real church setting...such would be exposed and gently weaned from these false notions. But we see the very...

Agreed. The organic churches often take a lack of authority too far. Many just despise authority. But it is the character of the authority I believe that is important. God has to be behind it. Otherwise it's just an autocracy. The reputation of pastors has been so soiled because of the...

Amen. Leadership is a function and a responsibility. It takes humble men to lead the church...broken men...examples of the dead man in Christ. And one who is seen to have the fruit of Christ even among unbelievers...having a good reputation with the non-religious. If the non-religious can see...

Why would you say that? Paul said....when you meet! We are to follow the biblical instructions. Or...did the church start with us? To be apostolic in doctrine we need to follow the apostolic instructions...as in the teachings of the apostles. And that is one of the 4 things the early church...

I wish.o_O Just responding to some generic slander that seems to pop up with some frequency on the boards. I don't always respond to these slanders...but sometimes you have to know the times to answer or not...as it says in the bible.

The early church met after havdalah ( the end of the Sabbath and beginning of the new week) on saturday night....which is the beginning of the first day of the week. (the Jewish day begins in the evening). The brethren gathered for a meal and a meeting...sometimes going all night...as recorded...

Consider your own behaviour. See that how you judge...that is from your own ways...and look at what you do. I sometimes address you...not too often...because you can't handle me because I seek after the truth. And that is very intimidating to you and some others. I don't just look at...

Agreed. The coming together is about discerning the Body...and seeing to the needs of others. If we are not doing that then we are not discerning the body...but too focused on ourselves. We end up playing bad notes in the eternal symphony. So then the communion meal is about getting in tune with...

Would you agree that it is more important to do what is written in the bible than to hold it in a high regard (or even a veneration) yet not follow it's instructions?

Au contraire mon frere...God is merciful He is a Father to the fatherless and He looks after the afflicted and poor. He saves the widow and the orphan. Not so with the religious and presumptuous however.

What is the point of having "a high regard" for the bible...even claiming a person has more regard than another...while ignoring the content of it? Very few people actually take the bible seriously enough to actually follow it. And it seems the more that the bible is "venerated" the less...

I actually follow the bible and the words they contain. What other regard do you mean? So I'm asking...on this thread...do you follow the bible in the way you meet with others...as in 1 Cor. 14?

Well, actually, um er, ....yes! :)
