You think we've never seen your type come on here before?
Some of us have been here quite a long time. I've been here since 2007 and before that when I was just watching. I've seen you and others come on here seeking justification for their positions and choices, wanting to argue with us over it.
Scripture says not to forsake the assemblies of ourselves together. If you want to refuse that, go ahead. If you've got things all figured out, why are you on here trying to argue with us about it? We've got better topics to discuss.
Christ also said:
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
And do you really think He leaves us when we are alone?
Check yourself.
We should all check ourselves before, we like a brood of hens, peck to death those who seek refuge, spiritual food, and rest.
I did not read where he said he had everything figured out, or even implied he has.
Christ found it necessary to retreat alone.
He is with every believer always, alone or in company.
"...teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
"Let your conversation
be without covetousness;
and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
"
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
How would you describe this forum?
It is is an online assembly.
And I would say the conversations can be in greater depth than most in a Sunday morning building.
This place is populated by:
The weak and weary
Believers in various stages of growth
Decievers and self the absorbed
The humble
The smug idiots
Some wise
Some fools
Some hopeful
Some pretenders
Some confident, right or wrong
Some in fear and trembling
Those who worship with their lips
Those who worship with their hearts
Those who will be shocked by these words;
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
And the others
Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
