Churches are failing as we all know.

[Keiw]

S

But for us who do know God, let's be encouraged that we have eyes to see, ears that hear and hearts that believe.

I love the truth that regardless of whether I know, hear or see what God is doing, He is still carrying out His will. Only He knows, if us knowing His will, is beneficial. So I trust Him. This is faith.

1Cor 8:6=There is one God to all=The Father)---not Father, son, holy spirt.

Thanks. Yes, we have one Father in heaven, Who is God.

Just go here and start reading from page 3..

You'll fully understand why people are running from the church.

Even Slingblade, Forest and Bubba would get it.

The great comfort is in the knowing and acknowledging that Jesus is responsible for constructing His church. And that He has His Spirit carrying out that task on earth.

No wonder Jesus was quoted in saying, My yoke is easy and my burden is light.

So any improvements to His body are done by His appointed divine Agent, Holy Spirit. Takes the pressure off us members hey.

 

[PS95]

1 single religion has Jesus( 1Cor 1:10) out of the hundreds that claim to be Christian.

Be careful judging everyone, Keiw.
The Jehovah's Witness religion is a mess. Yes, you all walk in lock-step conformity, but so did Jonestown ,David Koresh, Scientology, and a hundred others. People slowly fade from Jws instead of disagreeing for fear of losing their families. Unity in truth is what Jesus spoke of, not demanding people obey shifting doctrines, flip flopping back and forth and never ever having taught the actual truth.
You call yourselves "the truth" and are nowhere near it.
-Jesus IS the truth-

Yes the real Jesus= the one who has God just like us( John 20:17, Rev 3:12-- its insanity to believe God has a God.

Why do you never address what I've written to you?

here we go you must tturn everything into an the JW pet tooic- anti trin issue. Why is that? I thought you were wiser than that. Because the WT hates the trinity.. ok so does that mean that everything else they teach is right? NO. That's why you never comment.
Of course Jesus calls His Father, God. Why does that surprise you? The Father referred to his Son as God in Hebrews. Is the father also called Lord? YES even in your bible. lower case. BUTBUTBUT there is only one Lord- Jesus. Just stop Keiw. That's insanity.
I would really hope one day you will stick to the topic instead of diverting what you cant answer decently. Deal?

twisting is how you get your conclusions

I twisted nothing.

Yes Jesus is Emmanuel God with us !
Like how other can God come to us ?
As No one comes to the Father but only through his only begotten Son !

So if one is serving or trying to serve a god outside of Christ Jesus, such as that is of Satan in fact.
The Jews did not Know God, they knew of God ! but untill Jesus went to Heaven, it was the worthy Jews who were in fact the first to know God ! They became Christianity !

 

[Ezra]

The use of “I” not “we” is telling us something.

who is us? and what does it say . see your biggest problem is you asume . 1. you've never been to the church i pastor. 2 you have no idea who i am. 3 you have no idea what or how i preach

Which of the 44k varieties of "churches" do you mean? Because a building has a placard or sign on it or out front that uses the words "church", God, Jesus Christ, Holy this or that, Saint this or that, temple of this or that etc, etc, doesn't mean that the Lord's body assembles there, and the vast majority should fail.

 

[The Gospel of Christ]

There should be 10 million denominations by now —
since everyone is out here “RigHtLy DiViDiNg the Word!”

“Rightly dividing the Word” isn’t the disease —
it’s just the symptom of a deeper infection:
pride, blindness, and a refusal to let scripture interpret scripture.

Everyone’s got their own chart.
Their own dispensation.
Their own “clarity.”

And somehow… nobody agrees on anything.
That’s not revelation.
That’s spiritual chaos disguised as scholarship.

So what do we have now?!?!?!?

Dispensationalists on Star Wars…

“Look at us — we’re rightly dividing the Word!
And in our theology, Obi-Wan and Yoda are the villains, and the Emperor is the hero.

We didn’t agree with George Lucas’ original interpretation of the Star Wars scriptures (even though he wrote it),
so we rightly divided the six-book saga into dispensations to fit our system
and the teachings we’ve been spoon-fed since seminary.

The evil Skywalker twins?
They’re related to Anakin; so they must be hunted down and destroyed.
And that green menace Yoda?
He should be chained up and executed too.

People keep telling us this was never what George Lucas intended —
but we don’t care.
We completely ignore the author…”

Get it yet, atheists and lukewarm, Christian lurkers?????

This is exactly what they’ve done to the New Testament.

They’ve turned the Cross into a comma.
The Church into an afterthought.
The Gospel into a war plan.
And Jesus into a backup option for a nation that rejected Him.

Wake up.

These people are part of a dangerous cult that’s dragging Jews and Gentiles alike toward Hell —
brainwashed into cheering for World War III and a nuclear bloodbath,
just to trigger some twisted end-times fantasy
where Jesus comes back only after the Antichrist walks into a third temple they want to help rebuild.

There’s just one problem:

There’s not a single word about this psychotic fantasy, that's endangering God's entire creation and all life on earth found anywhere in the Bible.

They’re not" enlightened".
They’re under the veil.
And under a spell from the Dragon himself.

Yes, Jesus was sent to die for all humans but redeem individuals that collectively are His church, His body, His bride. Nothing to do with an inanimate building.

To be added to Christ (church) and being possessed by His Spirit is the greatest experience we can have in this life.

The Israelites knew God well. The Abrahamic God= a single being God=YHVH(Jehovah)=The Father.

Not until the fourth century C.E. did the teaching that the Holy Spirit was a person and part of the triune “Godhead” become official Catholic church dogma. That means that the Holy Spirit, to Jesus first century Jewish audience, was an “it”, not a “he”.

e.g. In the wilderness after their liberation from Egypt, Moses was finding it difficult because the people were complaining and he was not coping well.

”Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. And I will come down and talk with you there. And I will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you may not bear it yourself alone.“ (ESV)

The Hebrew word used there is “rûaḥ” and it means….”wind, breath, mind, spirit”. It was a redistribution of God’s power….not splitting himself up into pieces.

Can you take some of a person and give it to others? Similarly when the disciples received Holy Spirit at Pentecost, it was distributed among 120 of Jesus faithful followers empowering them to perform miracles and speak in foreign languages….again a distribution of power, not the distribution of a person.

Jesus himself was given the power of the Holy Spirit at his baptism, and could thereafter perform miracles.
As a mortal human, he had no miraculous power before then.

The early church “fathers” did not teach that God’s spirit was a “he”.
Justin Martyr of the second century C.E. taught that the holy spirit was an ‘influence or mode of operation of the Deity’. Hippolytus likewise ascribed no personality to the holy spirit.
The Scriptures themselves show that God’s holy spirit is not a person but is the administration of God’s power by which he accomplishes his purpose and executes his will.
It is never called a “ghost” in the Bible, which is a mistranslation of a German word “Geist”, meaning “spirit”.

In studying Greek grammar, we find “he” used when the Holy Spirit is mentioned because it is described as a “helper” (paraklētos)…which according to Strongs, is masculine gender and means….

“summoned, called to one's side, esp. called to one's aid….

1. one who pleads another's cause before a judge, a pleader, counsel for defense, legal assistant, an advocate
2. one who pleads another's cause with one, an intercessor”.

So Jesus spoke of the holy spirit as a “helper” and spoke of this helper as ‘teaching,’ ‘bearing witness,’ ‘giving evidence,’ ‘guiding,’ ‘speaking,’ ‘hearing,’ and ‘receiving.’ In so doing, the original Greek shows Jesus at times applying the masculine personal pronoun to that “helper”.….We all know what pronouns are these days don’t we?

So the two Greek words used for God’s “spirit” are “pneuma” and “paraklētos”…..neither of which makes the Holy Spirit a person.
I know that this truth will ruffle some feathers but it is easily verifiable using Christendom’s own resources….but apparently not taught in any theological colleges, for obvious reasons.

I sure can see you sure did some homework . Too bad it came of men .
You said all of this . Now watch how short and simple it is for this sheep to prove and do so by the scrips .
IF i do not go the COMFORTER cannot come . HE has been with you and shall be IN YOU .
I Will come unto you , I WILL NOT leave you comfortless .
GOD IS HIS SPIRIT , HE IS HIS WORD . and the HOLY SPIRIT aint an IT
The HOLY SPIRIT is a LIVING ENTITY that was LONG before anything even was .
THE FATHER IS SPIRIT and has desired that men worship HIM , IN SPIRIT and IN TRUTH .
Enjoy that my friend .

But they failed to know Jesus ! So they did not know God in fact ! bar from one who was Nathaniel ? yet Jesus said to Nathaniel, what he would see ? do you get that Keiw ?

What a wonderful point indeed .
Many jews often claimed to KNOW GOD
to be of abraham , to hear Moses and the law and the prophets
and hollered had we been in those days we had not been as our fathers who put the prophets to death .
AND YET , WHO DID they and the gentiles put to death . exactly .
SO now i leave us with JESUS OWN words .
HE who is of GOD hears HIS WORDS .
We got serious problems in the house commonly called and known as CHRISTENDOM .
cause now i even see , under the guise of anti christs at work and their abraham peace accords
Many now even believing jews , muslims and christains and others worship the same GOD .
TALK about anti christ at work . You see JESUS even told
the jews , HAD YOU actually BELEIVED MOSES you would have BELEIVED ME
for he wrote of me .
SO , HE darn sure wont be giving a false religoin like the muslims
a pass , JUST CAUSE THEY ALL TRY an say they of ishmael .
THE FLESH profits NADA . and IF they had heard the law
had they actually heard and beleived moses and other prophets
OH BELEIVE ME they had quickly repented of such a satanic religoin and ACTUALLY BELEIVED JESUS IS THE CHRIST the SON OF GOD .
LIke i said WE GOTS PROBLEMS BIG TIME and BOTHSIDES being HEAVILY decieved . Hope that encouraged you reggie .

NO they did not . only the sheep did .
YOU do realize that often they got so bad , grew so rebellious against GOD
He had to remove them at times .
AND had the ISRAELITES KNOWN GOD
JERSUALEM WOULD HAVE STOOD TO THIS VERY DAY . REJECT JESUS , YOU DO REJECT GOD .
So lets all take a knee before GOD
and confess any faults
and PICK UP our bibles again
YES lets do a real entrodus back into the HOLY BIBLE
and it darn sure wont be long before many did an exodus OUTTA a LOT of places .
Its not hard to do . Just put down ya churches booklets
dont heed the popes , the watch tower
JUST LEARN the bible for oneself . heck it aint near as difficult as men have made it out to be .
