It states in the Bible that “the world will hate you because of me” if we are doing our jobs like true Christians, than we should be getting a lot of crap from the world, if not than we are doing something wrong. Each week, a team of us will go out to the poorer sections of town usually, you know, where all the ‘bad people’ are and pray for the poor, sick, addicted, homeless what have you and bless them with the word, money, we lay hands on the sick and they recover (signs and miracles shall follow). We document these miracles and post them so other, like minded Christians can see and be encouraged to do the same. “The harvest is great but the workers are few” saith the Lord.

We do these things because it’s what we are commanded to do. “If you believe in me, than you shall do my works and greater for I go to the Father” I pray that the Father will enlighten you with the truth and soften your hearts to love one another.

Amen

Amen

I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t find the truth. Try reading the new testament first, I mean really read it from Mathew – Revelations. I found that no human mind could have come up with any of the books, it’s all from the Father for us, it’s the only physical thing we have that teaches us Gods’ love for us, and what we must do to attain the truth and what to do with it once we’ve renewed our minds to the mind of Christ. The enemy is a very cunning liar and will fill your head with lies, “the devil goes to and fro looking for souls to devour”

As to your “there’s no proof that Jesus ever lived” remark is way off the mark. Scientist and archeologist are finding more and more proof that Jesus did live (even the Koran acknowledges him, but identifies him incorrectly), anyways do your homework before making such remarks. Jesus love
s you and will always forgive you if you come to him and ask with a true heart and mind.

100% Biblical teachings, we agree that when the church starts looking like the world, than it’s no longer inline with the word of God.

Thanks for dropping by, but I’d suggest reading the whole of what I wrote. You’ll find that I never questioned my belief but rather my association with certain people that claim to be Christians while spreading hate.

You’ll find that your ad hominem statements implying that Christians do not have rational thought and the straw man arguments you posit don’t really do much to sway my opinion, but if you wish to understand my beliefs and why they are foundational to my entire life, as opposed to a fear of hell or hope of heaven, then I invite you to start by reading this whole article and then the rest of my blog.

Jamie,

I actually strongly disagree with this. We are not separate. We are one church … one body. So much of the New Testament makes it clear that when one of us screw up it is our responsibility to address the issue. It must be done in love with the heart of restoration. I should write a follow up to this post. It took me a VERY long time to calm down from this but I have been able to talk with some of the people involved and deal with this issue with them and grown closer to them. I couldn’t have done that right away because I would have been responding in my anger over their deeds but I was eventually able to confront them in love.

All kidding aside, as Christians, we should always remind ourselves that we are diverse bunch. We agree on a number of issues, and we disagree on some issues. We throw insults at each other, bully each other (I found out about your website via thechurchofnopeople.com’s article on Why Christians are Pro-Bullying), hurt each other, etc. But we are a family – a dysfunctional one to say the least. Let’s not give up on each other by trying on different names or leaving the family all together. With time and with God’s grace, we’ll come around. We always preach that nothing is impossible with God, right? Let’s put that into practice. 🙂
