Yes. Me. Division really drags me down. All i can do is follow the Lord as i see him commanding. What else is there? Is there any hope without him? Can i not love his words and meditate on them? Can i not follow him in hope? Theology grieves me, Christ strengthens me and his words guide me. I...

It seems to me that Grace and love are the way, however paul says to flee covetousness and be content with food and clothing, he says covetousness is idolatry. Should i throw this command out and just rest in grace and walk in love alone? Or Should i learn also to be content? (so that your faith...

Im am meditating on these scriptures 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the...

I did but not all of it. However, are you suggesting that brethren never sin? Perhaps Johns words are not easy to understand. Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive...

Well, we can get rid of the confessional now. Priests, your services will no longer be needed. Christians do not sin. My bible renders the verse differently than the one that you used, and it makes more sense in the context of the NT as a whole. 1 John 3 New King James Version (NKJV) 3...

What is the seed that gets sown in our hearts? Who is the sower? Mt 13:23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” 31 He told them...

Now i ask you all, are the commands of Christ and his apostles a bunch of lies or are they truth? If they are truth then we speak truth in love. We dont throw out the truth in love, we speak it in love. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature...

Ephesians 4:11-16 New International Version (NIV) 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the...

What did paul teach the Gentiles to repent from then? Did he say they were sinners for not observing Sabbath? No. Eph 5:15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish...

I was just suggesting it could be better, there is no harm in that.

The churches that confess in front of the congregation do it to get prayer i assume. It can be a humbling experience as well i would assume, it would exercise faith too. I went to such a church when i was young, people would go up in front of the congregation, speak to the preacher in private...

The moral of the story, study the scriptures and don't blindly follow any teacher. Test what we hear against scripture and let scripture be the teacher.

Php 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The...

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble...

To me it simply means trust the Lord, follow his commandments and hope in him, not ourself. Seems simple and my heart agrees.

Amen.

Was something i said below not accurate?

How so?

C.S. Lewis is just a fallible man, hes not the Lord or even an apostle. Why get so worked up over the fallible opinions of some man? C.S. Lewis is not the Church.
