Re: Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

By praying to grow in grace and knowledge we can come to a unity unseen in the world. There are a number on this forum that are not in unity with you as far as God's word goes and are in opposition with your perception of many scriptures. It is doubtful many of us will ever agree with your view as ...

Re: Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

I had one guy be offended, and leave, because he said my attitude towards false "churches" was too harsh. Could that person ever have fellowship with the rest of the church? Was your offense worth the risk? Were they "false" churches in his spirit or by your perception - missing details on this par...

Re: Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

Brothers in Christ don't fall into sin. Apparently those in Christ do fall on the strong and weak side as well. The stronger with liberty becomes a sin against Christ. No doubt a greater sin than a sin against a brother, but a sin (a fall into sin) nonetheless. Falling from a weak conscience is a m...

Re: Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

How can two men with the Holy Spirit have different thoughts on something more important than whose football team is better? Here is an example of two saved men having very different thoughts that the Holy Spirit had called to a work: Acts 13:2-3 (KJV) 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, ...

Re: Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

How can a church be of one mind if one person is offended by anything the rest of the church sees as OK? "His desire" is the key above. Shouldn't the "offended" be pursuing God's desire? God's word says it is OK to eat men, so one who is offended by eating mean is actually offended by God's word on...

Re: Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

It shows who is still walking after the flesh. Those in Christ walk in the Spirit, after they have been baptized into Christ and into His death. New converts are to be open to the teachings of the bishop...right? If they are not, they have placed their own agenda ahead of the church's teachings. Th...

Re: Eating before your weak brother causing him to perish

If they refuse the teachings, they are not my brothers. They have a different spirit than the one given by God to the repentant. They have no basis on which to be offended. What if they refuse your truth/teachings and not His truth? Because they disagree with your teachings does not mean they are t...

Re: Practicing the Presence of God?

Can you practice the presence of God? We hear people talk about feeling the presence of God and they wind up in some type of emo type stuff that usually leads to other things that don't align with God's word. This is not to negate feelings, yet IMO the presence of God is not about a feeling as much...

Re: Dake's Two Steps To Be Born Again

In Dake's GPFM, Chapter 24, Dake says there are two necessary steps to be saved or born again. "It is taken for granted, however, that one recognizes that he is a sinner and that Christ died to save him from his sins. This being understood, there are only two things that must be done and they are: ...
