planting the seeds of the kingdom

Well I was just going to put this in the Prayer section but it seems maybe it doesn't fit the section topic of a prayer request so I suppose this topic seems fitting enough. As the Lord God told me at the start of the year this is a year of blessings. Indeed already the Lord God has showered out his blessings in a very mighty way even on a national scale as we have detailed elsewhere and all have seen with the recent US election. Nevertheless instead of just resting on this harvest, let us reap out some more and finish the year out strong before the Lord gives us our next mission. If you want me to bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, then just apply here and I will bless you. All applications will be accepted no string attached, enemies and friends alike can apply, whether you love me or hate me, whether you're a saint or a sinner, you can apply and I will bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Limited time offer though, act fast before my Lord takes me away from your midst.

I will start with Mr. Blain since it seems to me the topic itself is a solicitation.

Glorious Father bless Blain that he may get his prayer to know the truth, and furthermore oh Lord, because the truth is a powerful thing that few can bear without being broken also bless Blain with strength. Yea Lord strengthen Blain both his soul as well as his body that when you cause him to know the truth he will be strong enough to bear it. Make Blain strong and cause him to know the truth for the glory and the might belongs to you oh God. May Blain be double blessed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Part of what is lacking on a public forum (and in churches) is the presence of elders. Everyone (myself included) is convinced, in their own mind, that what they understand about the scriptures is correct.

Unless what is being taught is obviously wrong, then more questions are warranted. It's an easy way to endeavor to be at peace with everyone.

elders? I never thought of that I wonder if having elders here might help keep things more balanced?

By definition they would know everyone personally. On a public forum that is not possible.
In lieu of that, additional moderators could help eliminate the name calling and slandering by giving warnings and taking note of people who just want to be divisive.

"As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him..."

There are a few elders here. They are characterized by the fruit that is displayed through them and the understanding and wisdom that they share. If you met them in person, you would find them to be gentle and hospitable, and their children well-behaved and respectful.

Anyone in particular? I may bery well be friends with them

thank you for showing the spirit of Christ that is what I love to see and yes any blessings are welcomed. I also want to request prayer for this forum that Christs heart and love may flourish and overtake this place amen

To see everyone attacking each other like this......it grieves me and we need to be reminded how to act sometimes not that I have not made the same mistakes at time but accountability needs to be established soemetimes

as for doctrine yes having doctrine of truth is important but like I said without love there is no point. if we present truth then it doesn't come with slander or else it is not truth.

This is my view

Blain ----Not every person who calls themselves a Christian on this sight is a True Christian ---they are False Christians ----what they post will tell you that ----

And the Love that true Christians are to display is Agape ----which is a gift of the Spirit -----it is not a brotherly love ---it is an unconditional sacrificial Love ---that loves the unlovely ---not many have this Agape Love ---

Everyone today calls themselves a Christian ----you have to be able to discern who is and who isn't a True Christian ----Satan is very much alive on this sight ---so you can talk all you like about the name calling ---etc --etc ----the people who are bashing ---trashing ---and name calling are being influenced by a spiritual force --called Satan

If you left this sight for the name calling ----then your coming back is not going to stop that ----true Christians are not to judge worldly People who just use the name Christian because they are driven by Satan in their thinking ----who is a divider ---they are behaving like the World behaves ---so they are behaving rightly for living in this world driven by a Satanic force

True Christians are to Judge True Christians who may be going off the right track to try and bring them back to the right track ---

Paul says here
1 Corinthians 5:12

Amplified Bible
For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)?
Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]?

So your frustration level may get very high again on your return if your expecting better behaviour from all on this sight ----Just saying ----

Learn to discern who is posting ---A True Christian or a False Christian ----cause there are more than a few false Christians on this sight ----

I do believe that People who post False Doctrine should be called out as they are spreading false hope and sending people to their spiritual death --these people call themselves Christians but they peddle their own spin on God's word and lead people astray from the Faith ----and that is not acceptable in my view ----I will always expose their twisted doctrine --which comes from Satan not God ---

True Christians need to know God's word very well and research it and ask the Holy Spirit for understanding so they are can spot when a person is spewing out false Doctrine ---and can call the person out on their worldly Twisting of Scripture or ignorance of it's Spiritual meaning -----

From AI

calling out doctrines and leaders who stray from the truth is considered an important way to stand up for truth and protect the Body of Christ.
This is done in an effort to love Jesus Christ with all one's mind, and to ensure that every Christian doctrine is clearly defined and explained.

Here are some Bible passages that relate to calling out false teachers:

• 2 John 1:10
  "If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him".
  
  
• 1 Timothy 5:19–20
  Paul instructs that elders who persist in error should be rebuked in the presence of all.
  
  
• 2 Timothy 4:10
  Paul names destructive false teachers, including Demas, who "has deserted me".
  
  
• 1 Timothy 1:19–20
  Paul names destructive false teachers, including Hymenaeus and Alexander, who "have made shipwreck of their faith".
  
  
  2 Timothy 2:17
  Paul names destructive false teachers, including Hymenaeus and Philetus, whose "talk will spread like gangrene".
  
  I say -----So nasty name calling etc is not nice for True Christians to do as we are to Agape our enemies ---calling out people who are False Christians and spreading false Doctrine is something God approves of in this word as we are to uphold the truth of God's word and protect the Church from being lead astray ----
