There is no technique that will move God's heart.

Pretty smart kid...er...fetus!!! ;)

LOL The narrow way is simple indeed! Holding on tightly to what you have only makes it hurt more to give it up. PS You can't take anything with you when you die. And guess what you will be hoping to attain...the heavenly community of new Jerusalem. Will you ridicule that life then????

Fish die in the open air. Men die in water. A person who lives by the Spirit craves the community of the saints. A carnal person craves personal freedom.

LOL This is how far the mainstream has strayed from the biblical perspective. Episkopos means visitation as well as overseer. God used to visit His people when they were a people. Now people just pray for the things they want. Read Stalag 2 (Acts 2)...then compare the testimony to any wartime...

I disagree with everything you said!!!! (just kidding...;) ) We speak with each other on these forums to edify one another...now by edify I mean build up...not by playing it nice with carnal emotions and feelings but doing what is right for growth for all concerned. It is good practice to be...

This goddess has been around for many "venerations"! ;)

Rom_8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

When life is lived by that which shows forth a witness that is both physical and spiritual in a mutuality that sustains both without violation of either, only then can life be truly faithful. We need to live IN God and among God to be a true witness of Christ. The presence of God both in us and...

Why do you always go off on a tangent looking for something to criticize? There are many forms of work and these are all performed by saints who have all things in common. This is primarily an attitude of non-ownership of what we have been entrusted with. Do you look down on full time ministry...

I don't think the issue of UR should be used to counteract the notion of ET (eternal torment). These are separate issues that need a very distinct treatment. God is BOTH a severe judge AND a most merciful God. He is BOTH. We can't pit one aspect of God against the other. Where the bible says...

Amen! And that coming is in US (plural) where the brethren are gathered together.

Continuing in prayer!!!

This is not about improvement but the will of God. God's ways cannot be improved upon...His ways are perfect. I am merely pointing out what Jesus is saying. Rather than being judgmental....this is the attitude you are bringing to the table. The rich young ruler went away sad because he cared too...

So we are living in a Christian society are we? We are already living at he proper depth of love and commitment and surrender to God?

2Co 7:3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. Sounds kind of communistic? ;)

Middle class Christendom is far removed indeed from the spiritual community that Christ is building.

The reconciliation between God and Men is at the cross. This is where we need to go in order to appropriate the salvation paid for all men who would lose their lives for the sake of a new creation. Too many think that the bible is where one goes for reconciliation to God. But the bible testifies...

You are arguing against the bible again. Jesus says to forsake all...and you have a thousand excuses why that can't be done. Sharing all we have does not mean we loaf around...we work but not for our private advancement. We work for the advancement of the kingdom. God sees to our needs. We look...
