Jesus the Christ's churches in modern times

[Raccoon1010]

A matter has been brought to my attention.

We have good Christians, who care and are genuine in their service to God and mankind. They love God and desire to help.

We live in a time of Babylon, Sodom and Egypt. Those spiritual cities that are suspicious and dark. We know light spiritual areas being baptised with the holy ghost and can discern dark if God provides. And when we become aware of dark areas we have a responsibility to stop and even help others to see and flee those areas.

God gave command for earth to flee Babylon some time ago. Which is described in the bible with fine and precious luxuries, as well as science and technologies used for evil. With science and industry they can be used for good and to help mankind, that is Christ's area and desires careful consideration of not going too far in that area of genetics and other science areas until God is ready.

The matter that was brought up was that the saints of God must be careful in inviting sinners into the outer areas of Christian churches. If they genuinely want to be part of a church group they should be helped. But not foolishly or at the expense of the healthy congregation.

Jesus certainly dined with the sinners and the righteous were not in need of a physician, namely Jesus' healing power God, and yet are sometimes found in need of him. They are the saints of Jesus the Christ for his Father and Holy Spirit.

Homosexual of any type must not engage in acts of sexuality or romantic conduct during church and church group activities.

If that happens church leaders should prayerfully seek the Lord's direction on the matter.

Let me be clear: God does not do evil, and Satan can do know good.

We are to give loving direction with a strong leadership that does not allow for homosexual romance or conduct among the congregation as that is wisdom from God. We have boundaries and boundaries are what the United States Constitution and founding fathers intended for a God loving and also God fearing people. People who intentionally cross people's boundaries and civil/constitutional rights should be evaluated and restricted in meetings at church.

If criminal acts are witnessed, then follow God's direction on reporting to authorities of the USA, federal, state, county and city levels. We are not fools that let criminal behavior go untreated. Sometimes criminals under God's laws must be separated from the public and held in detention facilities to protect citizens against those that continue to harm others. And we "hope" they desire and are rehabilitated and also re-introduced into society to be a healthy member of society.

Again, we should not openly shame homosexuals desiring to follow Jesus the Christ towards normal heterosexual God created gender behavior and normal self gender identities created and sometimes redeemed by God.

Prayerful direction is a blessing from our God of life, the living God.

Along those lines is also transgender, women in mens clothing and makeup. Or men in women's clothing. Jesus is a man. And his mother is a woman, she was named Mary. His Father is a man.

I am concerned about the deceptive nature of "cross dressers". Wearing a "mask" in public can be various things. Wisdom from God is necessary when addressing that area.

We do not know another person's thoughts or feelings including background in life. That is God's area of knowledge. We know them by their actions and behaviors today.

Thank You.

We should be wise in the end times before our loving Lord and Savior returns.

Some people in society are called and chosen by God in various ways as rich in different ways. Money can be used for good. And some require security measures to guard against dangerous criminals. Some may not appear before them or introduced towards them in dangerous ways. One such con art is draining someone of monies used in the end for security. Other securities can be compromised and should be guarded against. Reporting those crimes to appropriate authorities is important when necessary. It is not wise to disclose personal, whether emotional, mental or physical, spiritual vulnerabilities that some following evil ways use to exploit and harm their victims.

The broad and wide ways to destruction can destroy those criminals in the end with God's judgements, final or short term. We do not desire their destruction, but rather hope for God to direct criminals away from eventual harm of themselves together with harming others along the way in judgements against them. Sometimes they get twice the measure of judgement against victimized. Theirs as well as their victims measure. The book of Revelation given to Saint John covers that.

Mankind, in God's good children, men and women of his force against actions and planning of evil against society work hard and sacrifice much for the betterment of society.

Richness from God is given in various ways, God's kingdom, power and glory are his forever and ever. And no one can snatch God's children out of his hand in the end.

To whom is given much, much is required. Sometimes we require rest as well. We can work hard even as church members helping to provide God's word to the congregations and sinners.

An enemy of God and his children, that repents correctly and desires salvation instead of destruction, and is healed by God, is no longer an enemy then. And that also is wisdom from God.

The gifts of the holy spirit are written in the new testament:

Bible Gateway passage: 1 Corinthians 12 - King James Version

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that...

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one

Thank You.

Actually the One everyone is waiting on is at their door this day nocking, and any man who will let Him in their being, He will come to you and sup with you and be in you. Rev 3:20.

The only reason that He is not come to one of these religious folk is they have other ideas for a god, instead of that One at their door this day. All they see of a god is one of flesh, a man in their own image they can control, instead of the One at their door this day Who makes us like Him and in His same image, that of Love.

Thanks Gary.

May I add the following to the discussion?

God guides and watches over each of us uniquely thru life as our individual daily needs differ as far as supporting both spiritual and physical life. He is the God of life and has always desired us to be happy and part of his loving family both in heaven and on earth.

Interestingly enough we are not all created equal spiritually or physically. Some have disabilities that are mentally, emotionally and/or physically challenging. And that can place some at an advantage in obtaining daily bread of life, while others are at a disadvantage.

One of the wonderful messages of Christ our lord is to help those in need and that shows care, concern and ultimately love for our neighbors. And in so doing shows love for God in helping his other children he cares about also. I'm certain God takes joy when his children are helping one another and getting along as I believe any loving Father would.

Many of the commandments we are to obey keep us from hurting others such as to not steal, or commit adultery with someone's spouse.

So in the spirit of not only refrainng from hurting others, we are encouraged to go even further and help provide and be part of the happiness of others.

Cheers,

Jesus met with sinners where they were deep in their sins. It seems you are advocating that only respectable sinners should be invited to attend evangelistic services.

Should the church be prepared to welcome the dishevelled, the untidy as well as the smart and fashionably dressed to attend church?

To be brutal if a few sinners attending your church regularly is going to affect the faith of the congrafgation. Then you should be challenging the faith of your congragation, are they attually Christian or merely social christians doing what is thought to be respectable?

May I suggest that you encourage the church members to ask questions of the preacher, to challenge his sermons, to ask why arn't they praching through the difficult bits of the bible?
