not forsaking the assembling of ourselves

[W2L]

We can exhort each other to walk in the way of Jesus. It seems to me too many people call themselves Christians but have carved out their own paths.

Follow Jesus. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 2:11
just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

There is much disagreement on which practices those were, hence the division among the denominations.

Very true.

Which is why some of the earliest writings before denominations can be very instructional. Peace to you.

Thanks for your thoughts.

How do we obey this scripture? What do we exhort each other to do? Thank you in advance.

Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

If one can do no better, one should remember the teachings of Jesus and be a positive role model. One who testifies should be honest and accurate for the edification of others. Good testimony can illuminate many things.

Agreed. Thank you.

I'm not so sure there is a division among people in God. To exhort is just that. Love.

Thank you. What do you think about exhorting people to repent of their sins?

 

[betterorworse]

I think that people for God do not want to sin.
To turn to God is life. Sin is death.

Matthew 3:2

Life is good.

All things work good for those who love God. Even difficult things.

I once heard that in heaven there will be no more pain.

Revelation 21:4

 

[W2L]

Praise the Lord.

More often than not the biggest detriment to this is people. Far too often I have had situations where there is no real encouragement or communication, but rather judgement and condescension.

That certainly sounds unhealthy spiritually

I left church quietly and nobody battered an eyelid. No body bothered calling me daily to hang out and do social things.
Do not forsake the assembly of yourselves lol what a joke. People belief this scripture is carried out because we go to church once a week ha ha. We have a 20 minute chat after service and ye call this fellowship...? Please

That doesnt sound very edifying. At least we can come online and talk any day of the week

For me as I read it.. I try to think how was it back then.. and be like W2L were meeting at your house..

What God gives is ALWAYS for others. Each of us have something that will always help others. And if we don't think of our self 1st.. then why forsake the others...you have no clue how special you are to this family
