Contd:

If only more Christians would walk the talk (gospel) in our everyday living, then am sure not only God would be way please with us, but the gospel would be more effective in reaching out to the un-reach (souls).
++
You express the "shame" that the righteous express...
May GOD our Father and our LORD Jesus Christ bless you in ALL things....
+++
Pss.18
[5] I called upon the LORD (JESUS) in (my) distress.
The LORD (Jesus) answered me,
and set me in a LARGE (spiritual) PLACE.

Thank GOD for brethren...

God puts to death those who willfully sin including adultery...

Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Heb 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Heb 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
John832,

It is our sins that kill us! Whoever is separated from God is a (spiritually) dead person.
We are (made) alive in Christ.

I think that Christians are just hurting from all of the intolerance and misunderstanding in today's world. I don't feel that I am a crybaby and I ask for God's protection only and not to rely on other's as they have their own cross to bear. While I do pray for protection for myself and other's , for me personally, I do not want a hedge placed around me from the trials and tribulations as that would hinder my spiritual growth and maturity as a man of God. A season of rest would be welcome though, in my life and for those of others as well.

Christians, per Scripture, are STRENGTHENED people.

It is predicted that Heretics (people who teach errors,
will take over like in the days of Jesus and the Pharisees etc...

We must make back contact with the mediator...

I think you are being deceived and believing a lie but that's just my sense of things from the statements you make and the questions you ask. There is also a bit of defiance and self pity in the tone of things you post. Just saying.
++
A deceived person is sitting contented in the deception.
Paul said that he was teaching "in verity."
Thanks...

You are cute. :) This made me smile a bit.
The word heresy (gr. hairesis "choice" and haireomai "to chose [out of something]", "to opt [for something]") means to chose, to pick a part (of teachings) out of a whole (of teachings). The greek theologue Christos Yannaras said that heresy means to isolate a part from the whole and absolutise that part. For example, you look at a human face and you say "the nose is the face!". You ignore the face as a whole and you absolutise the nose.

Christians have destroyed
GOD’s benevolent Doctrine
and themselves.

People from other religions understand the Bible more than Christians.





The first Christians, like the Apostles,
who are our Spiritual Fathers, were martyrs.

Today we are crybabies,
looking for someone to protect us and what we believe.

Very transparent...

Even if we argue, let us remain sensible, well meaning, Christians...

Rom.15
[2] Let every one of us please his neighbor,
to (his) edification,
for his good,



You obviously don't know all Christians.

Amen.

It is good to associate with the wheat.
Please do not feel "picked on"

Examine yourself and know who you are..
We all must do the same, per Scripture

Per Script6ure:
Tit.3
[10] A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
[11] Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins,
being condemned of/ by himself.



Do good and smile is the way of the righteous..

Many Jews give valid reasons,
hereby they prove that Christians are lawless and illiterate, in both areas.

Gentiles have to first admit it...
GOD does not need from Us.
Christ does not need from us.

We must get the picture right..

You sound like a bitter and hateful person. I pray that God has mercy on you as well.

Which Christian Teaching provides for deciding on a matter
the way "it sounds like?"

2Tim.2
[24] And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

There are quite a few doctrines that Christians reject that were taught by Christ and the apostles.

let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak,

Paul spoke of 'verity' and not blind faith.
Thank you.
Your Biblical ignorance is showing.

So we are not Christ's people nor >> GOD's.
Christians were taught to be faithful to the Doctrine
and stay in the plan, from Gen. to Gen.

I think that we should take the hint from you.
We start collecting that ignored Teachings..

Regards bro...

This was worth my login...

You're saying that you do not see the indwelling Holy Spirit, as found in those of the rebirth and saving faith.

You sense a troll.

If your comments were not so sadly lacking of Scriptural understanding, they would be comical........Why are you here?
