Different strands of Christianity?

[enoch son]

It's the same old problem! Man looking to man (or christians) and not asking the Christ. I will tell you plannly my friend. Ask God and He will answer you. The problem is you think He won't. "The Christ in me the hope of glory".

 

[Seeking Him]

You mention "what is truth." You have the Holy Spirit within you, He will lead you into all truth. You can depend on Him.

Paul said he didin't speak with words of men's wisdom but in the demonstration of the Spirit's power. That is where the truth lies. The people in Acts were experiencing God and He was there in all His glory, they were moved and swept up in the reality of God.

Thank you all for your posts.

I think the problems I am having will disappear as I walk in obedience to God and trust in Him as a child. I think Paul was on to something marvelous in his letters, which were inspired by God: he never says that love is no longer important, or that good works are irrelevant to the next life - but simply points to a living, Spiritual sonship we can all have with the Father, through the blood of Jesus Christ, which will involve a relationship with God and a life of obedience to Him. It's only by listening and doing that any of this will make any sense.

Thanks!

Indeed.

He even says that love trumps faith (or at least that love must be present with our faith to give our faith any kind of validity):

1Co 13:2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
