“No but it is literally spiritual
. Do you think if the words of God were taught as they should be we would run into these problems? I personally don't. I think we would be able to speak with each other 1000 times better because God would have set our thinking correct from the get go.”
Yes the issue is what did God actually say to Christians ? That’s where you run into sects and divisions “ what does salvstion require ?” one asks and many answers diverse in Nature arise seems to
Be what divides us along with lack of humility and understand king that some simply aren’t equipped by God to
Understand as much as others.
there are babes , there are youngins’ there are adults just becoming mature and really learning , then there are the wise and elders who have actually applied the gospel to those lives.
like a family the babes don’t know everything the grandpappies know. The kids don’t have jobs and all the adult responsabilities the grown folk do and are meant to help the youngins’ along gently without strife and striving back towards others who attempt to strive
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:24-
the “ interpretations “ of what God actually said varies is what I’m saying one person listens to Paul alone that’s what God said to them they say. Others claim Moses spoke the truth from God and his law is what we obey that saves us. Others would apply every word literally as the law requires to be done.
Eye for an eye on the law , is what many think God has said, others think he said “ say grace and everyone will be saved “
Every interpretation known comes from what a person thinks Gods word “actually says “ but at the same time people have vastly different interpretations of what it “ actually says “
the truth is Jesus is the word of God manifest and spoken by himself so all can know God. But see that’s just what I myself believe to Be true so I believe the gospel is salvation and we’re saved like Jesus said
others don’t think that though is the issue so we have different ideas of what God “ really said about salvation”
I would say he calls His word spirit yes as does Paul but there are also literal straight forward commands in the gospel meant to be taken as such and there are the teachings of Christ which impart his spirit into our thinking and hearts of faith.
So to me ( just my own belief ) its about hearing and believing the gospel and then applying those new beliefs in our daily lives like Jesus always said it was but others have vastly differing views in a forum so as it’s as simple as what God said he’s said a lot at different times for different purposes.
a Christian has to stick to the doctrine of Christ the teachings about the father son and Holy Ghost in the gospel. The things of the next world to come of eternity and the kingdom of everlasting life with Christ !! The spiritual things require being born of the eternally true spiritual promises in the gospel
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:”
2 John 1:9-10 KJV
