A matter for the United States of America

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.

Jesus is God and was tempted because Jesus is the second Adam. Adam fell and all men are sinners. Jesus proved to Satan that He is the Son of God and could not be tempted. Nor could any human go 40 days without eating. 2 Corinthians 5:21 - For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Hello and thanks for replying!

The Christians will be attending church with proper structure as declared throughout the bible. As permitted in their areas upon earth. Those who can attend enjoy fruitful loving services Sundays usually. Those that cannot or have not attended are ministered to and cared for, also invited by the members of the congregations. Those are the good churches.

At minimum having, Priests, Bishops and Deacons. Christ blesses his people there for a reason. As Christ is the priest of the most high God. He leads them to living waters.

The witness of gathering is testimony of God and his living ways for us. Two or three go out to gather people to his organized congregations. They also receive witness at churches, and receive more blessings thru an organized leadership.

Yes we all can witness of God. And often joins us in spirit.

Good area sized, families sized churches, divided into areas are good, so that individuals don't get overlooked. The can feel like they have a large enough meeting to be supported and small enough to be a family type meeting place.

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

Well, interesting idea,

Jesus and our father in heaven are without sin, and so are his heavenly beings.

I don't tell people they are sinners either as many are more righteous than others on their way onward with our lord Jesus.

As Jesus purifies us and sanctifies us along the way thru attendance and service of God and his people.

But we go to church and the direction in the new testament for church leaders is to be respectable among the area they live in. Good examples for Christ and his children.

Cheers,
