The 'church' at large? Is that how we are to determine that someone is not someone to fellowship with...? The church at large includes how many different denominations? What are the essential on which everyone agrees that require the exclusions of some that 'they' have decided are 'cults' to be...

I would certainly say the same thing about them... the Protestant denominations...that is. The best one I personally encountered over the years was my last one and it also has some serious flaws. This is because of men who are flawed. If we decide not to attend anywhere there are flaws, we will...

The biggest battles, the greatest fights that need to be fought are within ourselves along with the Holy Spirit so we may receive the promises for overcomers. Jesus overcame the world, but who among us has? Jesus overcame the world of temptations in his own flesh. Jesus paid the price for us...

You are looking at the group. I am looking at the individual, which I believe is what God does. God does not condemn a person because of what church group he does or does not belong to... What I have seen on this forum and others as well as offline is judgment against the group and sometimes...

People, believing people, as I see it, are usually mixtures of the things of the old man and the things of God as seen in the new man of us. Of course we all should be growing toward less of us [the old man] and more of Him: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 If He, the Holy...

I am not saying not to go to work or to essential places. I am saying maintain distancing and face mask whenever possible... not only especially vulnerable people. It may be uncomfortable or inconvenient, but it is certainly not unreasonable.

And if the truth turns out to be that people can carry and transmit the illness to others even though they themselves suffer no harm, everything is OK? Is it a good thing to even possibly hurt others although you yourself are in no danger. My wife and I are high risk. My wife with severely...

Perhaps the situation of Judas Iscariot comes into play here? "And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:" Mark 3:14-15 "And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send...

But does it say here? "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the...

From 1976 until 2018, I had 8 pastors, at least pastors in title. Only two worked at all at being a shepherd [even though that is what the word, pastor, means]. The first one worked at it but he was mostly a boss. He rebuked me in front of the congregation because I asked him a question about...
