TRUTH281:
Just wondering. I'm thinking it might be a good idea for people to make a Facebook page upholding the belief that God will draw all men unto Himself. Specifically for the area they live or at least the state. Internet fellowship is a blessing but there could be others who live not far away from each of you that study the Restoration of all Things and I'm sure God wants us to come together.

I'm not so sure that is the case.  I've often wondered why we are so scattered apart.  I've come to believe that it must be for a good reason.  Perhaps fellowship in the "spirit" is more advantageous than coming together in the physical.  We humans are so easily influenced and distracted by the physical.

Although, I too desire to be around my brethren, I'm not totally sure if this would be a good thing on a regular basis considering the "flesh" is still rather weak.  We may naturally think that coming together on a regular basis will make us stronger, but maybe in reality it will only weaken us.  Just a thought.:-\

TRUTH281:
Thank you for your reply. I have before considered what you say. But how would meeting in the flesh make us weak? Is it because you think disagreements may spring forth?

Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

I John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Just from searching forums over the past day I've noticed there are literally dozens of believers of Universal Reconciliation within 1-5 hours drive from where I live. So I can't say I'm scattered out of reach from the Body of Christ. Maybe we're not as scattered as we think in the 21st century. Maybe our problem is that we're complacent and reluctant to pursue finding fellowship in person because we would rather bury the talents that have been given to us.

Not pointing any fingers. That's me I'm describing above. That's why I've been searching and trying to change. If we come together in the physical it will be "spiritual" fellowship IF we are walking in the Spirit. It would only weaken us if we have a "fleshly" mind. The whole point of coming together is to EDIFY and build each other up and to find ways to bring this good news to others. I can't fathom the thought that God only wants us to fellowship through the internet and ride this out by ourselves. Thank you for your thoughts Rene.
