HIM said:

For a Christian It is no longer I but Christ. The Life we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith OF the Son of God who gave Himself for us. This faith says not in our heart, who shall bring Christ down from the heaven or up from the deep. But what says it? It says the word is in our heart and in our mouth. That is the faith in which we preach. The faith that establishes the Law and the Just live by. For we who have been baptized into have put on Christ. We are all one in Christ and heirs according to the promised and live through and by Him.

That is a question to ask those that support letting the food we paid for sit and go bad and get burned rather than distribute it as was originally planned.

Like I said, good luck with following the law. The yoke if the law is hard and a heavy burden but His yolk is easy and His burden light. Come to Jesus rest.

“At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭30‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

The yoke Jesus was speaking about was the yoke of sin- that is the yoke of bondage

What is wrong with them wanting to be accepted as just people. Most don't have some evil agenda to make children turn gay.

So many kids have problems adjusting as they grow. Many don't understand what they are feeling. Most fight it, hide it and some commit suicide.

Our kids need our help.

Do you think LGBT groups don't seek to influence the opinions of children via media and materials geared at making LGBT seem normal? The song, while poking fun, still shows their actual intent.

Yeah there was cultural baggage. But primarily the idea was to get back to the basics of how the church should be setup. Which was actually getting out among the people and helping the poor. The Salvos did similar during the industrial revolution when many came to the cities for work but ended up in poverty on the streets.

By the time of the Friars the church was entering into the reformation and rethinking how the church should be structured and what the true basis for worship. But this was also because as time went on more people questioned the church due to the evolving Enligtenment which was even disputing God altogether.

So every now and then theres an attempt to reset the church closer to how Christ intended due to the questioning and moving away from God. I thnk we now have 2000 years of weight from all these rationalisations and questioning that we have lost the true essense of Christs church as a result.

Therefore another reset is due. I have heard a lot of young men are being called due to how modern ideology has affected the church. Like the army of Christlike soldiers and leaders is rebuilding. So maybe this is a start.
