Yahweh is salvation

I've stoped going to church long time ago for more than one reason. I think that people are the real Church, and the "church" is becoming more and more like an organization.

I think that there is a difference between being forced to kill someone as a last resort, and to volunteer to go to war and as a result, kill.

I've had the same problem, and this is what I did: read the Bible, prayed, listened the Gospel music, and told my self that my love for God is stronger than anything. And that with fate in Him I can overcome anything.

Jesus said that only Father knows when, so I don't realy try to figure out when. And why exactly should we be going by the Mayan calendar?

It happens.

This is how I actually did do it

I don't think that we should be surprized, all this must happen to us.

Jesus said that only God is perfect. Gods intent wasn't for a man to be perfect.

Chocolate .

I can't beleive that some people are willing to break one of Gods commandments.

I think your husband is right. I say, fight it.

You always have to forgive, but you don't have to forget.

You don't want to know what I think.

I would go back about 2000 years, so I could walk with Jesus.

And I think you ought to look at the context too, in which Jesus was speaking starting from verse 1 and going on to v12. Here Jesus is telling His disciples to obey the pharisees in the Law, but not to act like them because "Everything they do is done for men to see" and "they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.'". Jesus is warning the disciples not to get proud in their positions, but to stay humble; because having people refer to you by a title can blow yor ego up a bit too much. "The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Yes, I did read that. But the message still remains, we have only one Father and only one Teacher. So you won't listen to anyone else who teaches you about Scriptures? Despite Ephesians telling us that some are teachers? Nope.
