How many Christians are all words and no actions?

[ResidentAlien]

I don't give them money. Twice I've had homeless turn down the drink and snack. I just drive away.

Good for you.

The people he is talking about left Yahshua not a church building, same thing I said at the beginning. Someone can leave a church and go to one they believe teaches more truth or be led by the spirit without a church building.

The arly church did nto meet in church buildings. and the city church usually met together.. They did not have people leave one church building to go to a different one.. When people left. everyone usually knew..

I had family member that used to go to a church with a famous leader, and they would always tell me this person left that person left, and they couldnt figure out why. and the church leader would always say "they fell away" and insinuate they were "faithless". a few years later my family members left because they found out the church leader ws crooked, like very very bad. Im sure he said the same about them when they left.

Not saying this is your experience, I have no clue of your experience, but my point remains, people can leave a church and not fall away. Moving, finding one they deem better, learning more truth, etc.

John was in the truth more than any "church" today, so people leaving their ekklesia was much different than leaving a church today.

I tried to fully explain, hope I worded it well.

Again,,

This is not what happened in the NT church..

we are talking about people who walk away and now are against christ.

remember who an antichrist is

22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

these are the people John spoke of

What does it mean that we should not let our left hand know what our right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3–4)?

what does this have to do with you falsly accusing a brother?

Yeah thats what I said twice now... "The people he is talking about left Yahshua not a church building"

Yeah thats what I said twice now... "The people he is talking about left Yahshua not a church building"

which is what I also said in the beginning

I just use the word of God

1 John 2 says they were never of us..

they did not just walk away. they denied christ.

what does this have to do with you falsly accusing a brother?

The brother was taking things out of context.

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

The brother was taking things out of context.

No he was not

You still falsly accused him.

Can you show some humility and make an apology.. Or show your just as proud as the people you are talking about?

 

[JohnB]

No he was not

You still falsly accused him.

Where have I falsely accused them?

 

[Everlasting-Grace]

Where have I falsely accused them?

when you made the statement he did not want to do good..

I don't give them money.

That's funny. Earlier this year you were talking about a financial blessing you received. Someone posted this to you:

studentoftheword said:

So now that you have been Blessed with this cash ----do you then Give some to someone else who is in desperate need of money like you were ---

Your reply:

JohnB said:

I have always been giving to the homeless, even when I have little to give.

I think you just post whatever will make you look like a bigshot. You can't even keep your stories straight.

if Christians are all words & no action, then they may not be Christians!

 

[HeIsHere]

So you would never encourage others how to help those in need? I don't preach when giving out the drinks and food. I just give them to those in need. Christians really need to study Jesus words in context.

Seems like you missed my point. 🤦‍♀️

An angel got me out of a financial mess and I was able to fix up my house. It doesn't mean I have to give money to the homeless.

That's not the point. You said "I have always been giving to the homeless." In the context what else could that mean except you give money to the homeless? I don't care if you do or don't; but there are two possibilities: 1) Either you do give money to the homeless and what you said to me isn't true; or 2) You don't give money to the homeless and you were simply telling studentoftheword and myself what you thought we wanted to hear. In any case, you're self-righteousness has become quite boring. I doubt I'll be taking anything you say seriously moving forward.

I have been clear, I don't give money to the homeless, never said I gave money to the homeless.

You told studentoftheword you did.

Where did I say I was giving money to the homeless?

The whole context was about money. The question posed to you was explicitly about money. You could've easily said, "I give to the homeless but not money." If you didn't mean money, it sure sounds like you were trying very hard to make studenoftheword think you meant money. Since the whole conversation was about money, the real question is, where did you say you weren't talking about money?
