To be fair I think I do understand what you’re saying. But I disagree.
I just really don’t think the Jesus that is presented in your religion is the same character in my religion. That is my opinion.
Yeah I agree on last part but God had call us unto tell people what's right and wrong but it's their decision to think what's right or wrong for we have free will.
Yep and Jesus instructed us on how to present the gospel. Go to peoples homes. Knock on their doors. If they invite you in, have supper with them. He said all of this to illustrate the importance of building a relationship before you present the gospel. Otherwise people just dismiss you. What do I care what some@random stranger has to say about things after all?
If you really feel called to help people understand then you should think of discipleship as more of a mentor program than mass communication. Talk to people one at a time. Show that you actually are invested in them. Otherwise your message is just spam.
True but you left out we need to go into pairs of 2
Lol yes that too.
I will talk with my church leaders about it
So are we gonna buddy up here then? Lol! Keeping it light. God has a sense of humor ya know!
Ever since I been reading the Bible 100% this year I felt more passionate on pointing out the misleading conceptions about the other chirstians domination
Well then perhaps you may be familiar with Matthew 7:3?
I had huge battle with a catholic server and had some of them questioning themselves if catholic is wrong
Yes I do I know
And be careful that pointing out other people’s errors isn’t a point of pride for yourself because this is self righteousness.
And I’m sure you know pride is no bueno
The need to be right for self righteousness sake is pride. But if your heart is in the right place you will want to follow Gods precepts for His sake. To bring honor and glory to Him. Not just so you can be on the right side.
Yeah I know like if I'm doing the same sin and trying to tell someone that the sin their is wrong then I'm not allowed to them their sins is wrong
Close. The point is we are all sinners and are all doing something wrong. It doesn’t necessarily mean you are doing the same sin, but that you are a sinner. The most important commandment we are given is to love the lord thy god with all your heart and all your mind. And the second commandment is like it which is to love your neighbor as yourself. So this is why we must be gentle when talking to people. 1 John instructs us to speak the truth in love. Yes! We are told to speak the truth. But! We must do it lovingly. Not accusingly.
Mark 12:30-31 is the reference for the first and second commandment text I listed if you wanted to know.
This is the text I was thinking of in 1 John : My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:18
This is the one from Ephesians about speaking the truth in love and why we are to do it. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 4:14-15
Thank goodness I have Jesus to help me through life.
Yep!
Amen, I am so glad to see some faith conversations! I am new to discord, and I wasn't finding any thing, and this brings me piece of mind and joy to my heart.
Good me too.
Amen
This is just fucked up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIDMXDpe194
Wow o.o
But You, O Lord , shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision.
Psalms 59:8 NKJV
How cool would it be if the rapture happened on Christmas?
I'd be left behind cause I'm a Heathen of Odin, so yeah it would just be Ragnarok for me
If I could, I would let this world go to be with the lord. I hope he comes soon...
me too
oh 100% me too
The crusades were awesome
True
Well lads, we apparently have the Buddha to blame for the existence of the patriarchy......... yep
