This is placed in the bible study - So please let us not condemn or stab each other with scripture just because someone doesn't believe how you do.

Believe that faith, love, hope and freedom are most certainly needed in this walk of faith in having love for God and others even if we disagree.


In your life as a Christian; with everything you have come to realize or believe be it from the influence of others and their teachings, or your own personal study of the bible itself. What do you believe about everything you have learned walking with God by worshiping in spirit and in truth?

Are there essentials to the faith that are a must to do?

Are there non-essential issues that you believe that are consider minor issues because of the difference of others and how they may see the scripture instead?

Truth matters everyone would agree I would believe, and would say it does matter.

Though when you present your knowledge to someone; do you expect them to have to conform to your own knowledge otherwise you would deem them not a Christian (this is excluding the essentials)?

Just curious to know some of your thoughts.

Yes. There are essentials and there are also areas where God allows Christian liberty. We see this in the matters of observing holy days and easting certain foods. But when it comes to "the Faith once delivered to the saints" all things all essential.

@MatthewG As the Lord Jesus says in John's Gospel, the Holy Spirit guides His people into all truth; and so this is something which is continually happening...

Would totally agree with you on that Farouk. Just seeing if people desire to share or not. Thank you for sharing, and Enoch too.

We are to, in every moment, choose to trust Jesus in all things, and choose to love others in all things.

I expect that everyone who names the Name of Christ that they would see these commands given us, and would be led into such living by the Holy Spirit.

Much love!

Hello Marks, thank you for sharing your thoughts here today.

It seems no one desires to go deep on sharing much of everything they may believe and that is okay. Much love back and you and others who come to share if they so felt led and desire to.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with each of all of you, love of God, fellowship of the holy spirit.

My thoughts are that we are at a tipping point. We are balancing, and which way we go may be decided by the weight of a feather.
Almost every day since March I have been crying out to the Lord to bring revival, to turn back His wrath for just a little while longer.
All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing; He does as He pleases with the powers of heaven.
He loves us, but make no mistake, He is holy.
Oh Lord, in wrath, remember mercy!

You've only just posted it, maybe give it a little more time? Sometimes I don't see threads for a couple of days!

Much love!

Hello Grace Ambassador; I use to put it to the neck of people as if they were in need to feel the need to succumb. That is just me though. It is suggested from the bible that we rightly handling the word of Truth.

2 Timothy 2:14-16 - And most certainly can assume that is by the gentleness of the spirit and not the aggression of the flesh.

Hello Truman The Levite; Am someone who believes that wrath has been took care of by the blood shed of the Lord Jesus Christ in victory; that allows God to no longer be angry with the world itself, because of the payment of sin which was the body of Jesus was offered back up to the Father as a perfect sacrifice to last forever and it was allowed towards all people.

Do you believe that the Wrath of God is still going to come down upon the world itself? Why do you believe that? Is this considered an essential issue or considered a non-essential issues to you personally?

@MatthewG I remember that Isaiah 55 says, 'My thoughts are not your thoughts'...

Just remembered a relevant verse...

Here is one in return Numbers 23:19. God is most certainly different than man; and God is not a liar; neither like the creations (son of man). His ways are far more above all of us; and He is a God of love, mercy, compassion, just in all of his judgements, and sees and reads the hearts of men through and though.

Both for you and for me. I want you to know I really want what is good for you. I want to give a gift if possible. And I want to be always in remembrance that this is God's intent for me, that whatever I do, I do out of genuine concern for the wellbeing of others.

I endeavor to give you much love!

Oh, that is very well and kind of you to do so, thank you for your reply Marks. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day, everyone in the family is doing okay and everything on your side? No one sick or anything; the covid thing (though do not watch the news hardly ever) seems to be spiking up again, so just thought to ask you that question as well.

Much love!
