I think you have to have a certain amount of control in certain conditions to have order. Like Paul said to the church if anyone speaks a unknow language let it be one by one not all at once. Its true if someone does want to do as they will nothing will control that. Its a fine line between control and leading. Paul said to submit to one another. But that does not mean if a person tells you to do something wrong. We are to obey Christ not men. But then it says submit to each other. You submit to others if what they want is under Christ. And not in all things . Then it becomes a cult.

If anyone wants a blessing go to the web and put in john8thirtytwo publishing and put in Ezekiel four creatures video. It really good.

How do you get to heaven . one receive Jesus and confess him as the Lord of all. Receive the holy spirit. The holy spirit is our guarantee. But going to heaven is not the hope of the believer. The hope is at the second coming of having this mortal body out on immortality. Then the saying death where is your victory. Death will be no more. We will live in the new heavens and earth with God and Jesus. That is the hope. Heaven after death is the intermediate stage.

I myself was a Lurthren l as a boy of 5 till about 11. Then at 19 I was with the worldwide church of God. For about ten years. Found out it was bad theology. So I left it went to a Calvary chapel. Now no church cannot find one I want to commit . But I do want to go to church. Been looking at the Catholic faith. I read a book called a story of a soul. Touch me.

Hi I used to attend a Calvary chapel in Vineland NJ. Loves it. Only left because I moved to MO. I would have remain with that church . like Frank Smith.

Hi Albert I think also lack of bible reading and studying. It says desire the milk of the word so you may therefore grow. Using the word to make changes and to gain more insight will mature you as a Christian.Nothing can stop us in our growth in Christ if we obey the holy word. And then prayer and even some fasting will help because it turns you towards God and away from the world and away from the flesh. The world's ways and things will halt growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus too.love not the world neither the things in the world.

If your 18 or older then you can move but people mature at a different rate. I was diffrent because I just lived with my Father and I was more like a roommate. I paid half of the rent. I moved out at 22. Try not to be angry. It will be pass. But you said you were kick out of church. So it had to be kind of bad what you said. Maybe it cause your parents a lot of trouble. I do know saying things in public online is not Gods will. The better way would be to talk it over with someone at church in private . And pray to the Lord about it too. God loves you so don't feel too bad. I would go to the pastor and apologize and try to work it out. And wait on your parents for awhile. They will get over it. And you will get your tablet back too in good time. Then God will be please for you. Prayers for you.

Jesus did say few will enter. So I take him at his word. If we enter by his grace we should be thankful. .

Everyone here wrote a really nice posts. Thank you for your words guys. Yes no fear of death anymore. And very true we don't hunger for meaning anymore because we have it. And I add to enjoy fellowship with God and Christ and one another like Apostle John wrote.

We inherit the earth and heaven too. Heaven the new Jerusalem comes out of heaven to the earth. So God's city will be on earth and gates of the city will never be close. People come and go from the city of God.

Yes some times error needs to be debated. But brothers and sisters in the body of christ need to be gentle and kind. Which are fruits of the spirit. No beating up Christians lol.

Romans 6 says we are baptize into christ. And that was water baptizing. Its not the water that cleans us. But faith in God's power to raise the dead. So when we get baptize we are showing our faith in christ death and resurrection. It's the visable word. We seal our identity with christ at that moment. We are identfiy with his death. So we die too. Our old man dies. The we identify with his risen body too as we come up out of the water. Now our new man lives which is christ Jesus our life.Salvation is not only being forgiven but a new life. When we doubt ourselfs we are surpose to look back at our being baptize into christ.

Depends on what kind of adverse circumstance. Sometimes a lot of prayer . But other times direct action I think. But always prayer and trust in God's power.

I think it's a no brainer if one reads 1 John. It says anyone born of the spirit cannot sin Because God seed remains in him. So a real christian fall to sins but will not remain sinning.We can sin but It's imposible to sin without caring about it. No christian will ever be lost. The whole thing is if someone who thinks he is a christian continues in sins and does not care then he was never born of the spirit but needs salvation. A real christian will repent and come back to God in godly sorrow and confess what he did wrong and the blood of Jesus will cleans him.

Hi Angel4I. Yes I did see the hiding place. And I also read the book too. You grew up in Holland. Did you ever visit the Ten Boom watch shop? It's a museum now. I also read tramp for the Lord by her. I met a man years ago in New York that worked with her and brother Andrew. It's a miracle that she survive the prison because they release her by mistake . One week later they killed all the women her age. And I did read a long time ago the book heaven by Randy Alcorn . A very good book on the subject. I do hope I spend a lot of time with Jesus but think of all the people in heaven. I think in our glorfied bodies we can be in more then one place maybe? God hears the prayers of millions of people at once. So he can do anything. I seen some post with the name Therese little flower. There was a catholic sister by that name who wrote a book called a story of a soul you should read it. I got from kindle for 99 cents. She had a heart for God more then most. I hope to talk to her someday in the city of God. I am glad to have communicated with you on this forum. I like your posts.

Yes indeed Angel4I. We are in a far land away from the ones we love that is Jesus and our Father and all the saints . This is one of my favorite topics. I can't wait to talk to Corrine ten boom Father and the rest of her family. Also Terease the little flower who wrote a book called the story of a soul. Her heart was all about heaven. And a lot more. They have a lot to tell us. Also don't forget Jonny Ericka tada . Who wants to pole vault over the wall of the new Jerusalem. I want to hug Father Adam and tell him how i love him in spite of his disobedience. We are going to have endless fun there. we don't even know but a little tiny bit of our glorious future.

The word was God. Jesus was the word. The Father was God. The Holy spirit is the spirit of each. So they are God. They are the one true God because the Father is the prime source. Jesus comes from The Father. The Spirit from each.Same life force.

I think if our real home is heaven where God is. Then we will want to be where he is. Heaven is where everyone has a real love for there brother or sister. I want to be loved by people like that .

Hi everseekingMay God bless you.I have similar problems at work. I work on a line and some of people not just supervisors try to micro manage. I dont like it but I feel Christ wants me to be humble and take it. Some of the workers are not as good as me or work as hard but act like they do. The Lord is my reward and if I bear it with good faith I know Christ will work it out for my good. Don't follow your pride. The Lord gives Grace to the humble.

Hi Grace. I think your friend is really in love with her boyfriend and he seems like her her whole world right now. Its proble hard for her to think of others right now.That makes it hard for you.That's your best friend and sister in Christ. I say give her space and the time to be with him. Later she will more then not want to spend more time with you too.But the most important time we spend is with the Lord in prayer and his word. Let the Lord speak to your heart and the Holy Spirit give you the comfort that you need. The Lord cares about you. Wayne

A child of God cannot get a abortion under any reason.We have no rights to take a life.But God knows your situation and does care about what you are going through.I am praying for you.Keep trusting in the Lord .He will be your help.We will pray for your husband too.I can understand how he feels but abortion is against God. There always a way out with God. May the Lord give your husband a diffrent mind.

I used to keep the Saturday Sabbath.I used to belong to the worldwide church of God.But the truth is the Seventh day Sabbath was a shadow of the Lord Jesus Christ.Once he came in the flesh and fulfill the law of God he became our rest.We rest in him everyday. We are holy not because of a day but because Christ is our righteouness.
