I'm glad that Music man posted this thread. Some how it makes me feel shame to see a brother without the help of all like minded believers.Where does it say that we are to just sit back for the ride and do nothing just because we get some truth? For a long time I've been thinking that I have gave something up since I came to BT, and now I know that its the fight in me that has become luke warm.
 We constantly talk about the churches and all the things they do wrong. We read and study and keep it to ourselves here on the forum. We are a body, but it seems that its only in the forum and not out there sharing, standing together defending each other with the tools that we have. I'm not talking about going out to look for a fight, I'm talking about sharing truth regardless of what gets in our way. I'm not putting anyone down except for myself. God did not open my eyes for me to wait for someone to ask me what it is that I see. Jesus came to share what he knew and it didn't matter how many weeds or stones got in His way. Nor did He just sit back and wait for someone to come to Him. He went out and about. Well we aren't Jesus, but we are the body with every tool one can imagine.
 Sorry if I'm out of line here, but its just the way this thread has made me feel. It makes me want to get in the race that I thought I was in back in church, except now I know some truth, but not enough to stand on my own to remove any size stone that gets in my way. Are we a body willing to work, or are we handicapped unable to share what we know waiting on God to do everything for us. I like to think of it in terms of God working through us, and for Him, and His pleasure.

Peace

Being a Godly example in the way you live your life will speak much louder than debates or shouting matches.

What kinds of things do you constantly think of?

When you hear of evil, do you shake your fist at the individuals/governments/companies that are accountable or think to the Lord and place your trust in Him? Do you truly believe ALL is of God?

Do you believe 'unto you it is given, unto them is is NOT GIVEN' (Matt 13:11)? Do you believe that one 'CANNOT BUY OR SELL' unless they worship the Beast (Rev 13:17)?

Are there still doctrines that you 'wrestle with' (Eph 6:12)? If a person still wrestles with them, how could they show the way if they themselves are not on solid foundation?

Etc, Etc....


Just something for ALL to think about,

Its a good thing that Jesus didn't think of it like that, otherwise not many would have known Him or got to hear Him. He faced the world head on, and didn't avoid confrontation.
 Its trust in God, and thinking about God and His word that inspires me to not want to just sit here to myself and avoid the truth from others. Its also God that inspires me to get off my butt and do something with these opened eyes. I Thought I am not to just give up just because all will be in heaven, all will be saved, etc. I'll say it again that debating and arguing is not what I'm talking about even though A lot of people hearing gets to hear both sides and rule out the facts and truth, but its God that opens the eyes even in debates. Also I am in no way suggesting debating on this forum. The forum is good just the way it is. But for me as a part of the body of all like minded brothers and sisters, I feel in my heart that I should be right there helping them, even if its just support.
 I don't struggle with the scriptures nor disbelieve them, but I do struggle with doing nothing and thinking that this is as far as it goes for knowing the truth, coming out of Babylon, sitting and studying and just talking to each other waiting for someone to come my way and hope for an opportunity to share some things I've learned. So many times I've read here that they have a desire to tell the truth to others but somehow it gets to be oh well I shouldn't go there so I'll just settle down and set up camp, this is as far as I'm going, maybe someone will come by, oh I just can't wait. Some fall on their face and think I'll never do that again, but thats how I myself learn, I fall and get right back up and continue until I learn to walk. I learn from my mistakes and its God that is in control, picking me back up.I could just say, "God I trust you so much that I'm going to sit here and do nothing because you are in control and I can do nothing without you and what you do for me and show me I'll keep it to myself because I don't know but just a little and it will only be that when You have shown me a lot or everything that I will go about sharing.
 I'm simply asking where is the body, and what is it doing to help a brother that shares what he knows. No reason to get defensive about this. I'm really curious what good is a body if it does nothing. This isn't about going against scripture or forum rules. Its about something that I think is in the heart of a lot of people that just sort of got comfortable with thinking; what difference does it make, I can't even make a choice thats free.
 Hell No is doing what has been laid on his heart. He shares the truth for all the world to see. People come against him and he accounts for what he knows. We sit back some of us and cheer him,some of us probably even judge him thinking he is wrong for the discussions he gets into. He is exposing those who contradict. What is wrong with that, or with wanting to support a fighting brother, debates and arguments or not?

Matt 22:37-40  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another

Roy,

Here is what 'Jesus thought' and commanded. If going out to take on Babylon is what is led on your heart to do, go ahead...no one's stopping you. You can find people in every city, in every country, and throughout the internet who will go tit for tat with you.

Again, living a Godly example in ALL aspects of your life speaks much louder than clever arguments...but again, no one's stopping you, go right on ahead.

P.S.

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand

I don't know how many DON'T believe this scripture...or is it simply ignored? People want to wrestle & debate their fellow man instead PREPARING themselves with the armour of God against that which is SPIRITUAL! But of course, I guess this is not what 'Jesus thought' seeing how he hand-picked Paul who made this profound statement.
