A matter for the United States of America

[Raccoon1010]

With the list of threads the lord had me create there is the pressing matter of us and others and the most important need we have as children of God.

We have physical needs, and more importantly the salvation of our immortal souls. Many generations have given much for his word and gospel to reach us today. I thank them and the people that help today.

I pray we do the best we can to join God in his houses and groups of worship where we can.

Also that we can bring those we love and others to church. He is always with those in need, from those that suffer to those that suffer from sin. We enjoy the lord's spirit in his houses of worship. And when we are called or able also, we carry his message to those in need of help and salvation. We enjoy his spirit there as well. We give the example of Christ the best we can in our spoken word and works. I pray we are not judgemental of others. And not excessively hard on ourselves. Only God can save us, we can also help do the will of the father as given thru Christ and his servants.

We put God first, and often that means attending church for ourselves and also bringing others with us when they are willing.

God does not declare a distruction for us unless he desires us to repent and be spared. He desires us to be alive and well, and spiritually well fed. He enjoys happy, pleasant people. Family and attending to family is God's great mission. His family. Us.

I pray we carry this message and others of our lord on this Easter Sunday and the days ahead.

Thank You,

Devin

It was especially pleasant today to see the lord and his father at his church today, he is where his children are and where they worship and where they are in need. I have been blessed to see him caring for his people in various places and churches.

It was very pleasant to see his people there also.

It was a great turnout today at the local congregation I attended. They have done well.

Happy Easter to all!

Which "church" would that be?

 

[Raccoon1010]

Which "church" would that be?

Which church do "we" attend as Christians?

Whererver Christ is.

They do as Christ does and we know them by their fruits.

God discourages divorce save for fornication, the bible says. Because of the hardness of their hearts, Moses had them write letters of divorce.

Is your church any different?

God established the true church in the new testament. Read it and learn of it.

Everyone shared and all had sufficient for their needs. Does your church do that?

There are many established denominations on earth. There are perhaps many in those churches on their learning path that eventually follow Christ to his teachings of his true church as written in the new testament.

Many 'churches' are filled with unsaved.

I would hope so.
Hopefully they will come in droves and get saved.
It seems to be the only place where they will hear the Gospel.

The churches are filled with unsaved ministers of Satan!

Yup. Some of them.
One needs to go to the right church.

Hi Jack,

We go where there is need which is often with the needy, for clothing, water, food, salvation messages and priest duties, hoping they join us in church.

The righteous need no physician as the Bible points out. The righteous would be in degrees of righteousness at church. They go out looking for the lost sheep.

ooHi Jack,

Praise God my husband and I did prison ministry for many years, I do believe that those young men and women, who have nothing to do but 24/7 study the Word, if that is their desire, will come out and expose any church or wolf in sheep's clothing, because of sincerely having the Word in their hearts. They will not be able to stomach some of this mess that has crept into the church.

We now and then have individuals we would never recognize walk up to us and testify that they were ministered to by our team and they are living for Christ. Raccoon, don't ever feel that what you're doing is done in vain. If one soul is saved the Heavens rejoice.

MILLIONS sit in churches and don't have a clue what the Bible says. All they believe is what their preacher says, leading MILLIONS to Hell Fire.

Likewise,

Prison ministery sounds difficult. They have only time mostly waisted in there. Good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.

To kindly chastise a child gone astray while in the act of disobedience to God, reminds them of the act. And a good wisdom explanation of consequences that aren't good for them arising from those acts helps them understand what they have done can harm them. If not done too harsh.

Sometimes they receive that injury of their sins for years later from their acts.

But while they are in lock down, they, if willing, may entertain church sermons. And learn of salvation ways from God.

Outside there are many also.

Thanks,

Devin

Those without sin don't need church. Churches are for sinners, trying to do better.

But some here claim they "CANNOT sin"! Even tho their sins are here for all to witness. Satan is busy.

Even Jesus had the option to sin, although He never did sin. I cannot imagine a Christian actually denying that they could sin.

You won't have to imagine. Stay tuned. There are a few here who "CANNOT sin", so they say. Even tho their posts PROVE otherwise!

Jesus was born sinless and was incapable sinning. Christians aren't sinless, they just sin less. Jesus is our mediator and looks after the elect.

 

[The Barbarian]

Jesus was born sinless and was incapable sinning.

He was, for example, tempted by Satan, and could have sinned. If He did not have free will and the ability to sin, there would have been no temptation. Remember, He became fully human as well as being fully God. And part of being human is being subject to temptation.

The Gospels do not tell us what exactly was going on in Jesus’ mind and heart at the time of this trial, or to what extent he may or may not have found any of these possibilities genuinely desirable or attractive. Yet the mere fact that the devil made an attempt at tempting Jesus implies that Jesus did indeed have the same free will with which all human beings are endowed.

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
