I will say this though: some people tell me that even if we except the gift of Christ's sacrifice, we will go to hell if we don't live a righteous life after accepting His gift. I personally can't subscribe to this notion, as I believe it contradicts the word of God, however, I agree that we are at least entitled to live as morally as possible and repent when we do wrong.
hope this helps. I really dont understand all that much
im also trying to understand a lot of these commandments bro.
Yeah, thank you
"7 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval. 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!"
Just that first bit seems really difficult to unpack. maybe you help me compartmentalize some of this?
maybe even understand it?
The quote was for historical purposes. I didn’t say anything to insinuate otherwise. People have read and quoted pastors from the Revolution for decades. What makes it so wrong to do so now?
It's irrelevant
you're saying you have to submit to slavery
Someone I know thinks that Adam and Eve can't be real because they inbred and that we would all be retarded if are species came from inbreeding. I asked him where he thinks people came from and he says a bunch of primates living in Africa that were survivors of a space nuke that wiped out that dinosaurs. I'vebeen heavily implying it, but I'm really tempted to just straight up say "do you really think that a bunch of primates happen to evolve all separately from one another and be compatible to the point where the human race could be created without any incest?"
I'm not saying that quoting the bible is bad
but when you use it in that term
Are you talking to me?
When there is only one family is in existence, that is the only way
Yes
^
You realize that quote wasn’t a Bible verse, right?
You said people have been quoting Revelation
I just associated the two
But I didn
I didn’t. Read my message again.
I know
I misread your message
But even still, it is irrelevant
What is irrelevant...?
tbf, we are kinda retarded. <:KEK:795742276549607456>
You said we have to submit to slavery and have your freedoms taken away
Nvm
No... I didn’t.
“We have no choice left to us but to submit to absolute slavery and despotism"
Again... that quote is for historical purposes, from a pastor during the Revolution. I just like history. I’m not some nut who wants Revolution.
Okay, I suppose that makes sense
Yes... that said from a guy during the British enslavement of the colonies.
Yeah
That's what I said <:KEK:795742276549607456> I literally wrote back "*speak for yourself*"
That wasn't good conduct, brother
But that may be true
These verses are talking about how people in these verses are not treating the Lord Supper with respect. They were treating Supper like a feast. Hence why Paul talks about in verse 29. Anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. So treat the Lord Supper with respect and humility. Examine yourself before you partake in Supper.
The corinthians church had alot of issues
I did not say I dont want to be convinced period, In context it was you wont convince me that with just words or scripture without modern proof.
