ArchivedA House Divided :: We are the Church,,,,,We are the Church,,,,,
I was reading the replys here in this thread and wanted to input my two cents worth of knowledge. Luvly1- just last night my pastors husband was talking about divisions , the church is a building,the repented are the Church. We are the Church of Christ. When a person accepts Christ in their heart and they repent of their sins,they are a new creature in Christ. We are called to obidence in Gods word and to follow Him to the best of our ability. Not to follow man, and mans teaching, but to follow God and His Word. There are a lot of good,Godly men and women of God who do all they can to teach the true Word to the people and then there are the ones who are in it for the fame and glory from people. IF a person is truly saved,you will know the difference from the good tree and the bad tree, for the Bible teaches me that "Matt 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. ".
The church I attend, and am a faithful member and also pay my tithes and give in offerings,we have a missionary for children in Haties{ not spelled correctly } we also have within our church a widows fund that we take up money for the widows in our church and give to them for whatever they need it for. If we dont help care for the ones who are faithful in the very church we attend,those who are in need of help,then where are we at spiritualy? We are lost.
1peter 4:17-19 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
All verses KJV.
Aineo I like these verses You quoted.Matthew 25:31-46 . But then again I am partial to all Gods word. Not perfect yet, but am striving for that perfection.
