Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

[amigo de christo]

I think "interfaith" is nonsense - it's self-contradictory. Faith is placed in persons (a Person), rather than ideas. You cannot serve two masters. A group that serves many masters is... not a group.

My only experience with "ecumenical" is multiple Christian churches coming together to build a shelter and feed the homeless. Google seems to say it's something more like (small-c) catholic - universal. I don't know about that.

I would consider both of these words jargon. I try to stay away from jargon. I don't always completely succeed, but I try to use common words that everyone can understand.

I'm in the US, so in some sense I'm under that government, though I disagree with almost everything of the Democrats, and much of the Republicans. Politically, I'm a Utilitarian without a rule. You want my voting record? I abstained from voting in 2016, thinking neither candidate was worth a damn. I voted Libertarian in 2020, same logic. Held my nose to vote for Trump in 2024, because Biden was really that terrible. Don't actually like Trump, or agree with what he says.

I have no idea what "nar realm" means. Google seemed to think it had something to do with Dungeons & Dragons. Never played that.

I'm not (capital-C) Catholic. I object to the papacy, in particular that there is any Vicar of Christ, and also to the hierarchy of priests placed over a laity, having the power to remit sins. I was raised in a charismatic church, educated in a reformed school, and have been an assistant pastor in a couple non-denoms. I currently attend a charismatic church.

I've spent a lot of time studying the Bible, and also the history, literature, and geography of the Ancient Near East where the Bible comes from. My beliefs don't really match cleanly to any particular denomination of Christianity - they're kind of "roll your own." That being said, I'm aware of where my beliefs are unorthodox, and I don't try to preach those. I'm not trying to start my own church.

not only is intefaith nonsense it cometh of many anti christs .
Cause if anyone would bother to examine its so called loving the other relgions to GOD
and interfaith interreligious dialgoue IT told and it sold to the false religoins as well as to christendom
THEY HAD KNOWN it was of anti christ . IT LIED to them all . IT lied to them all .
The gospel of JESUS was DENIED . as it sold the lie that all religoins serve the same GOD a christain does
and are just coming to him differently . OH YEAH it SOLD a JESUS CHRIST DENYING LIE to them all .
And did so under the guise to be as one for world peace n safety .
And now a word . For when they shall say PEACE N SAFETY , SUDDEN destruction cometh upon them all .
And now we know the why . CAUSE BY MEANS OF THIS PEACE THEY DO DENY THE GOSPEL OF YE MUST
ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST . SO , it wont be peace n safety for them . NOT ON JESUS DAY IT WONT .

We ALL agree that Christ taught ALL of His apostles.
That being the case why did Christ (Matt) teach saved requires performance but not in Paul ?
..
Matt 25 :- LIFE ETERNAL requires 'PERFORMANCE'
42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
..
Is Christ CONTRADICTING Himself with Paul ???
..
Titus 3:5-7, Gal 2:16, Eph 2:8-9, Gal 2:16, Rom 3:28, Rom 4:5:, Rom 5:1
..
Or is it that the teachings in Matthew apply to a different age/audience than Paul is selected to teach !!!

It is important to recognize that a servant of God can speak against being required to obey what God has commanded for incorrect reasons without speaking against being required to obey what God has commanded for correct reasons. We can’t earn our salvation, righteousness, or eternal life even as the result of having perfect obedience to the Law of God, so obedience to it has absolutely nothing to do with having a good enough performance, but that does not mean that there are not correct reasons for why those things require us to choose to obey it, such as faith. While Paul denied in Romans 4:1-5 that we can earn our righteousness as the result of our works, he also affirmed in Romans 2:13 that only the doers of the Law of God will be declared righteous, so there are reason why our righteousness requires us to choose to be a doer of it other than in order to earn it as the result.

"For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." ​

1 Thessalonians 5:9​

The Tribulation will be the time of God's wrath.

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, ​

both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the ​

mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne ​

and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” ​

Revelation 6:15-17​

Pass the butter, please....

Thank you GeneZ for posting Revelation 6:15-17 as it PROVES all that i have been speaking to you.
The Church is NOT on earth when the Day of the WRATH of the God and the Lamb is poured out

WRATH is WRATH

Tribulation is NOT God's Wrath

Tribulation is Ordained by GOD for the Church = to Build our Faith in HIM
JESUS Says: I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.
But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

Apostles Say: And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying,
“We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”
