It's not our house church...it is a local expression of gathering around Christ....that numbers in the millions all over the world. This location's numbers vary from week to week...but around 20. We have many guests and people passing through. We don't have a problem like a brother sinning...

I think that people in other countries notice the world. But it seems our friendly neighbours to the south (those with a map or globe can see who I'm speaking of ;) ) only see their own country and mistake that for the world.

Sure. But not every possible situation will happen to everybody.

There is a huge detail here that is worth looking into... 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Jesus says that some branches IN Him do not bear fruit...yet a branch cannot bear fruit...

The fruit of the Spirit is all of those things. Some people may seem to exhibit one fruit more than the other...but Jesus is speaking of what the effect is of abiding in Him. What WE experience is ALL the fruit of the Spirit...by abiding in Him. How much of that flows through us depends on who...

You have listed yourself as having...other faith. Which faith is that? And welcome here! :)

Amen! God conquers by many or by few....but because of pride God chooses to conquer by few. But which few? When there is no knowledge you have everyone claiming to be in the few. But for many of these they simply are taking a too high of a place. They have no humility...so then they risk being...

And what of the "good" guests? Who are they. These are they who are kind and gentle...compassionate and loving. The "good" Samaritan could be seen among this number. What of being born again? An athlete that doesn't make the cut at the Olympics....can still attend the games as a spectator...

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, b]">[b]take him...

Mat. 22:1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out...

The Pharisees were condemned by Jesus for making unsubstantiated claims about their spiritual condition. They claimed to be able to see...when they were as blind as bats. Does that kind of thing still happen? I would say more so now than then. AND...we live in a time where Jesus is knocking...

If a little leaven leavens the whole batch....what is a lot of leaven doing to this thread? Just sayin'

I was hoping that the quiet and respectful attitude of the OP would inspire a kind of discussion that mature adults...let alone Christian adults...engage in. Very disappointed with the bad attitude some cannot shake. You will know them by their LOVE...not wanky doctrines.

You have not the understanding to interpret any of these verses. You make stuff up and then accuse others of being sloppy. If you are not an expert in Hebrew you can't even begin to peel back the layers of meaning in prophecy. Pride is not the same as knowledge and understanding.

Such gall. You have it backwards as usual. How can you expect anyone to take you seriously? And you go about it in your regular demeaning way. But you have exposed just how far off you are. Show any biblical evidence that there are 2 Jerusalems in eternity. That is more far-fetched then even the...

All organized religion... Babel is the same as Babylon. In the Hebrew they are identical. When people came together to build the great tower of Babel....they said..."let us make a name for ourselves". So anything that men have named...ministries , churches...etc..is Babylon. It is the attempt...

Faith is not the same as belief. Faith has power to do miraculous things. Whereas belief is a mere opinion...albeit religious and stubbornly held to. The Islamic extremists are an example of a tenacious religious belief...that many Christians also adopt....but only according to a different...

This is NOT there in Scripture and can only be discovered by those who accept man made systems of theology.

The denial of the kingdom of God NOW makes you a dispie. The belief that the gospel of grace is different from the gospel of Christ makes you a dispie. The belief that Jews will have a new gospel preached to them (different from the gospel of grace)...makes you a dispie. But to believe that...

What is spiritual now...will become physical in the next age. That's why we strive to enter into that world now...while we can advance in the kingdom life. The heavenly Jerusalem is coming down from heaven....to reveal the saints who are walking there NOW. :)
