I have always wondered what would be better.
Knowing things or not knowing things and living in a bubble.
After a lifetime of learning experiences I’ve realized that I know almost nothing.

Well, I kinda' figured they would introduce themselves lol.... Perhaps give the common rabble an opportunity to ask questions like...
-How many nationalities and denominations does "CC" actually host?
-Where are the MODs themselves from?
-What does the future hold for "CC"?
Maybe clear some things up for those who come here seeking online "WWW" fellowship and find this confusing, in-cohesive mess. It's just difficult for me to accept that God's word inspires so much argument... Among Believers!

Perhaps this is a perfect example of why God divided us at the tower of Babel...
God did not divide Christians. In spirit, we are one and we are complete. However, in soul, especially the mind, we come to Christ with all kinds of preconceived ideas and notions that are not of God. That's why we need the renewing of the mind. We have new hearts but old minds.

There are ministry gifts to the Church - apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Regrettably, few acknowledge these gifts except for pastor and evangelist. The purpose of these ministries is to serve the Church - that's what "ministry" means.

The purpose is found in Ephesians 4:

12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ. 14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.…

The Reformation achieved a great deal. However, it has not yet rid the church of some false doctrines and human traditions. This must happen eventually. Until then, Christians are bound to have differences of opinion. Add a lashing of ego and a dash of religiosity and you get the kind of discourse you see here at times. Children fight. Some people need to grow up.

Does this mean you will be leaving us too? Oh, what a sad, sad day that will be! I do wish you all the best...

I had trouble with my internet all day long also! Actually it started last night around nine. Many pages would not open even when I could be here, and other times there was no service at all. I finally called my provider, and we worked through some issues, mostly with her doing something on her end, and then I did a hard reset of my router. I had restarted it and my device numerous times already.

Edifying each other… yes some folks love to mock and be unkind.. So love and forgiveness overcomes. Humiliation is good to help a person be patient. Nearly 11 years and many people I knew have been banned. Before we hit post reply, what is our intent? The Gospel accounts are to affirm the Lord’s Testament with 4 witnesses to the Truth. I don’t see any discrepancies. The fundamental is there in all. That GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.. The Lord died willingly to save us. GOD Resurrected Him. We have Lord’s Testament as part of our New Covenant with GOD. GOD wants us to worship Him in spirit and Truth. In these last days of course there will be discord. The dark agenda counts on lies and deceit. The True Light shines bright when we seek the Lord for ourselves relying on no man to teach us. Call out and He shall Guide and comfort you. The Good Shepherd knows His flock.

I am not sure what has offended Japov

Or what he was exactly referring to when he started this thread, reading it does not make any sense or shed any light on what discord he was referring to.


As far as I know, everyone agrees that Jesus is our Lord and saviour.

the other things maybe more or less be disagreed on and it doesnt really matter what nationality or denomination you are. Of course you will bring something of your own ignorance to the table to try as something to inquire about as we find out more about God and get closer and grow in our relationship to Him.

The thing is God is bigger than any one of us and we do not have the whole picture (sort of like blind men touching an elephant) nobody can say they know EVERYTHING about God there will always be mysteries we cannot explain and things He will reveal to us in His own time.

This place is weird as some folks just copy-paste walls of texts of bible verses from Biblegateway, and they make word salad in Christianese. No pastor or seminary teach I've heard of ever speaks like that.

Those peddling the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) gotta love this.

Which part do you find objectionable? By the way, I know next to nothing about NAR.
Pretty much everything you said is straight out of the NAR playbook. You should look into it.
