You're a Pastor?????
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 (KJV)
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
i know i'm not wise, mighty or noble...............but thankful God uses foolish things
i take it your not wanting to know my church address so you can visit????

Just can't accept defeat, can you?
I'm sure Catholics are not interested in having YOU make up their doctrine...
they can do that all by themselves.
Now God inspired the Greek word....
So now God speaks Greek specially for YOU.
And as for Catholics setting standards...
If it wasn't for THEM,,, YOU wouldn't have a faith.
They're the ones that saved the Christian faith for you.
They're the ones that put the inspired N.T. together.
And I'll tell you something else,,,
THEY have the truth more than YOU do.
Can't bring yourself to saying...
sorry,,,I made a mistake.

Amen...and for anyone to believe what were written in the bible must have FAITH in God and in Jesus Christ His only Son whom He has sent and gave to us for the forgiveness of our sins.
...Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
Now it says in the verse that "the sheep hears his voice"
... HE WHO BELONGS TO GOD HEARS WHAT GOD SAYS. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” John 8:47
Jesus "knows them and they follow Him"
...We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 1 John 2:3-6
Jesus KNOWS them that BELONG TO HIM. They are the ones that hear his voice and follow him.
Christians MUST WALK as Jesus did and FOLLOW his examples.
...To this you were called, because Christ SUFFERED for you, LEAVING YOU AN EXAMPLE, that you should FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS.
Christians should learn to obey the way that Jesus learned OBEDIENCE through His SUFFERINGS.
...Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. Hebrews 5:8-9
We should follow Christ's OBEDIENCE TO GOD if we really BELIEVE that He is our SOURCE OF ETERNAL SALVATION.
Those who BELIEVE IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HIM.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
And no one can pluck us out of Jesus' and the Father's hand if we remain or abide in Him.
... “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. IF ANYONE DOES NOT REMAIN IN ME, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, THROWN INTO THE FIRE AND BURNED. “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. John 15:1-17 (see also john 14:21-24)
We are in God's hands just like a free bird. We can stay on His hands and abide in Him forever or fly away and get lost and suffer the consequences.
As for sheep, just like the lost sheep, we were once lost and dead in our transgressions unti the Lord found us and gave us a new birth through the Word that endures forever. So never again should we run away from Him so as to get lost but we should abide in Him and be His sons forever.
