Yes but we can also teach each other as well I have learned a great deal and matured a great deal from other posters here in cc My comment was about what pastors were "supposed" to do.Since this so seldom happens, we are left ,ore on our own to aid each other as best we can.

Pastors are given to teach us how to become Christ-like Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph 4:13...

Parenting should involve discipline. As a small child grows, he should transition from external discipline to internal self-discipline. Children neglected and simply left to be raised by the world usually do not respond well to the sudden imposition of external discipline later in life.A...

14 is too old to impose anything. Perhaps the only way to engage her interest is to describe to her that visually trolling for the attention of males may attract those of low character that are so easily drawn in. Those of this group may not be ones that would be reliable marriage partners with...

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Satan cannot be everywhere at once. As a result he seeks to collectivize the whole world to leverage his...

It might be seen as human nature to turn anything into a dogmatic ritual even beyond religion to patriotism, sports attendance, and even family traditions. It is like making a comfortable nest. For those that would follow Christ, the urge to turn Christianity into a comfortable resting place...

Another view is that water baptism was intended for Israel and associated with the kingdom gospel. Baptism (immersion) into Christ is the baptism associated with the gospel of grace.

One confusing thing about Calvinism is the English words elect and predestined. It might help to consider the elect as those who chose to accept an invitation extended to all. By making this choice, they gain entrance into a category that had been predetermined that some would occupy. It can be...

Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. The kingdom gospel was intended to make the nation of priests (Israel) that would bring...

Well, Philip was sent to baptise an Ethiopian, and it was water baptism: Philip was preaching the kingdom gospel associated with Israel and water baptism.

Not every use of "baptizo" means water immersion. Peter was writing to believing Jews who had been dispersed. Water baptism may have only been for the believing remnant of Israel in anticipation of the earthly kingdom. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not...

The first covenant was established by the agreement of all the people. This two party agreement would also be required for the new covenant as well. Not just representatives. The age that would come with the earthly kingdom has been described as filled with supernatural power of which the early...

could you explain? I haven't heard of two seperate gospels Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; Jesus came to offer the earthly kingdom to the nation in fulfillment of prophecy...

Not all of the information you are getting may be accurate. One might expect that since Satan sets the course of this word (Eph 2:2) (for now and insofar as he is allowed by God), that he would have worked to make Christian practice systematized so that it prevents Christians from maturing. That...

You could use a "video tract" like this one 19 minutes long; https://christianpioneer.com/videos/video%20tract%20christianity%20comp.mp4

BAD COMPANY CORRUPTS GOOD CHARACTER It may be that's what Satan was counting on when he invented college.

There are single party covenants such as when God declares he will do something. There are also two party covenants where both parties have to agree to something. The first covenant between God and Israel was such an agreement. The second covenant was offered but not accepted. There is a view...

I handed out tracts at an Elizabeth Claire Prophet meeting once and felt a real oppressive darkness form that dissipated like nothing by recalling the hymn "I know Whom I Have Believed". To me the raising of the shield of faith works exactly as described in Ephesians chapter 6.

Some pastors see it their responsibility to chew out the slackers i their church. This is seldom helpful. One might see from Ephesians chapter four tat the whole reason there is a pastor is to reach each church member how to be more like Jesus. By this standard can anyone think of a church that...
