Yeshua/Jesus came to reconcile us to the Father.

Yet, after we’re saved, we seem to be reconciled to our denominations and not the Father.......:unsure:

Let’s seek and ask Yeshua/Jesus to take us to our Father. Let’s learn our Father’s ways.

Yeshua/Jesus prayed we would all be one with Him and the Father..

Anyone who has been saved by grace has also been reconciled to God. And that is why you will find this benediction at the beginning of almost every epistle:

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. (Rom 1:7)

Have you given that some thought?

Yeshua/Jesus did not say to go into all the world and make denominations.......:unsure:

It is okay to enjoy fellowship at many different churches and denominations but, follow after Christ - not man.

Yeshua/Jesus and the Holy Spirit teach us the Father’s ways. We need to learn the Father’s ways - not denominational doctrines.

Yes Lafftur, I am with you on this. Why do people get on these forums and argue about which middle-age reformist was right. All they did was take their erroneous Catholic doctrine and change it a little to start denominations.

Let us all dig deep into God's word. Forget about creeds and denominational doctrines. There is enough of God's word preserved to get us to Yeshua. :)(y):cool:

5This is what the LORD says:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind,
who makes the flesh his strength
and turns his heart from the LORD.

6He will be like a shrub in the desert;
he will not see when prosperity comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.

7But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is Him.

8He will be like a tree planted by the waters
that sends out its roots toward the stream.
It does not fear when the heat comes,
and its leaves are always green.
It will not worry in a year of drought
or cease to produce fruit.

Jeremiah 17

it is a serious thing to put your trust in man/woman in place of God

that is religion and it will take all the joy out of your life and you will become its slave

Were all to take heed all would be peaceful.

1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

It seem to me at times many who follow the dogmas of the denominations of man believe themselves to be sacrificing something to the Father……….I pray all know He needs nthing from any of us, but He does love us and want us to love Him, hearing Him and Him only always, amen.

I must insist you add love of human neighbor, whom you do see.

Hebrews 13:15 "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."

This is the current sacrifice system: Our audible praises to Him and His name. Then show Him our love by loving our neighbor, made in His image. Even the hard to love neighbors! :love:

You know......in the church letters and even in Revelation, the churches were identified by the following designation...

the church at ________________

Demonations are exactly that.....and yes the pun was intended......

While it is true that one can get a generalized idea of what dogma, doctrine and or gospel that is taught by thr name on the sign.....at the end of the day denominations are the by product of men..........

Just saying

I hear ya, but we cannot alleviate the absolute truth that there is but one gospel, one truth concerning EVERYTHING.......and the only way men or women can fellowship is if we fellowship IN THE TRUTH and walking in the LIGHT AS HE IS IN THE LIGHT AND WALKS IN LIGHT.........two cannot walk together unless agreed.......love and truth go hand in hand and for sure we are not given the liberty to chunk the truth for the sake of love!!!

So, let's talk about the Father's Ways...................:unsure:

the first scripture that popped into my head was:

Micah 6:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Everyone feel free to share a scripture that pertains to the Father's Will and His Ways. :love:(y)

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Here's another one:

John 4:23 King James Version (KJV)
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Looking back, I thought I was imagining a faint image of Jesus, but it could also be possible that I "saw" Jesus, but thought that it was mere imagination back then

While expecting ...


This sure gives a whole new meaning to "seek Him and you shall find Him"

God sees one body with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head:

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body ...​
​
...​
​
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ ​


We are the ones who see different denominations (and, of course, the denomination to which we affiliate ourselves is always better than the denomination to which others affiliate themselves).


1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. ​
​
...​
​
1 Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.​
​
...​
​
1 Corinthians 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. ​


Each believer has been placed in the body of Christ as it has pleased God. I wonder when we will get to the point where there is no schism and we all have the same care one for another ...
