What is the doctrine of Christ?
orion77:
Isa 51:1
Hearken to Me, pursuers of righteousness! And seekers of Yahweh! Look to the rock whence you were hewn, and to the pierced cistern out of which you were picked.
Isa 51:2
Look to Abraham, your forefather, and to Sarah, who travailed with you, for one was he when I called him and blessed him, and I loved him and will increase him.
Isa 51:3
For comforted by Yahweh is Zion, He comforts all her deserted ones. And He will constitute her wilderness as Eden, and her gorge as the garden of Yahweh. Elation and rejoicing shall be found in her, acclamation and the sound of melody.
Isa 51:4
Attend to Me, My people! And, My folkstem, give ear to Me! For a law from Me shall go forth, and My judgment for a light of the peoples.
Isa 51:5
Momentarily near is My righteousness. Forth fares as light My salvation, and for My arm the peoples look forward. Me the coastlanders are expecting, and for My arm are they waiting.
Isa 51:6
Lift your eyes to the heavens, and look to the earth beneath. For the heavens, as with smoke, are full, and the earth, as a garment, is decaying, and its dwellers likewise, as a louse, are dying. Yet My salvation for the eon shall come. And My righteousness shall not be dismayed.
Isa 51:7
Hearken to Me, knowers of righteousness, My people with My law in their heart. You must not fear the reproach of a mortal, and by their taunts you must not be dismayed.
Isa 51:8
For, as if a garment, eating them is the moth, and, as if wool, eating them is the roach. Yet My righteousness for the eon shall come, and My salvation for the generation of generations.
Isa 51:9
Rouse! Rouse! Clothe yourself with strength, arm of Yahweh! Rouse as in days aforetime, the generations of the eons! Are not You He, the Hewer of the audacious, the Wounder of the monster?
Isa 51:10
Are not you He, the Drainer of the sea, the waters of the vast submerged chaos? He Who places in the depths of the sea a way for the passing of the redeemed?
Isa 51:11
And the ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and they come to Zion with jubilation, and rejoicing eonian is on their head. Elation and rejoicing shall overtake them, and affliction shall flee, and grief and sighing.
Isa 51:12
I, I am He, your Comforter. Who are you, that you are fearing a mortal who is dying, and a son of Adam who as grass is drying?
Isa 51:13
And you are forgetting Yahweh, your Maker, the One Who stretches out the heavens, and Founder of the earth. And you are afraid continually, the entire day, in view of the fury of the constrainer? As he prepares to ruin. Yet where is the fury of the constrainer?
Isa 51:14
He that is distressed hastens to the portal, and he shall not die in the ruin, nor shall he lack his bread.
Isa 51:15
And I am Yahweh, your Elohim, Luller of the sea, when clamoring are its billows. Yahweh of hosts is My name.
Isa 51:16
And I will place My words in your mouth, and by the shadow of My hand I cover you, to stretch out the heavens, and to found the earth, and to say to Zion, "My people are you."
Pursuing righteousness and seeking after God with all diligence, patience and long suffering.
It's a daily battle, many times the carnal mind wants to take over and seize control.
Joey, I understand that First One is a bugger. Guilty of not putting Him first many a time, just thankful for His saving grace.
Rvhill, Mathew 5, now that is some beautiful words.
Worm, thank you for those kind words, may we all grow from each others different experiences towards the love that is in God.
God bless,
Gary

Well said, ertsky. The truth shall set us free, not to be dismayed by the foam of the sea or the shaking of the earth.
Mt 7:7
"|Request and it shall be |given you. |Seek and you shall |find. |Knock and it shall be |opened to you.
Mt 7:8
For everyone *who is requesting is obtaining, and *who is seeking is finding, and to him *who is knocking it shall be |opened.
Mt 7:9
"Or anywhat humanman is there out among you, from whom his *son will be requesting bread--no stone will he be handing him!
Mt 7:10
Or he will be requesting a fish also--no serpent will he be handing him!
Mt 7:11
"If you', then, being wicked, have perceived how to be giving good gifts to your *children, how much rather shall your *Father *Who is in the heavens be giving good things to*those requesting Him?
Mt 7:12
All, then, whatever you should be wanting that *humanmen should be doing to you, thus you', also, be doing to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
God bless,
Gary

Greetings everyone,
very good posts from everyone,
for me it all boils down to this:
doctrine of Christ:
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much(((( fruit:)))) for without me ye can do nothing.
we all know what the fruit is: :wink:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
peace

eutychus:
ps,
here is a formula for abiding in christ:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be (((((partakers of the divine nature))))))), having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor (((unfruitful)))) in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ
peace and love

Bobby, that is beautiful and so true, right on there brother.
Many years ago, I prayed to God and said "Lord if there is anything I can do to help you, I will do it, even if it costs my life." This is just a shortened version of it, but nevertheless, He must of liked that prayer, because He babtized me in the Holy Spirit right then and there. Amazing, never heard anything like that before. His love is truly great.
Anyway it took many years of, I guess my own stubborn rebellion, to realize I never kept the vow I made with God. He kept His part, but I did not mine. Truly in a spiritual sense we must give up our life and give it back to the rightful owner. Gods ways are past finding out, yet it is fun to diligently search and seek out His ways.
I have not been to an established church for many years. They simply teach things that are not only contrary to the word of God, but contrary to what the Spirit has shown me. Although I know many good hard working people who still do and would probably give the shirt from off their back, I simply can not go and listen to such foolishness.
I am still a work in progress and a long, long way to go. There has been a lot of animosity lashed out from hell believers over the years, saddest part is the worst has come from their leaders. These experiences has taught me that is the wrong way to treat our fellow man. Hard, very hard lesson learned, to which I am grateful for God granting me this experience.
This has been a very enlightening thread and thankful for all the replies. May we continue to learn from each other.
God bless,
Gary
