'Brother' in scripture
YellowStone:
Arcturus, your words were timely indeed :)
PS. Darren I will not debate or argue one scripture, not one dot or tittle! :D Think about where YOU are standing and NOT where I am COMING FROM! :D That might help some but it will not be up to me if it does or doesn't!
Thank you.
Your brother in Christ,
Darren

Dear Kat Diana and Sandie
Thank you for your helpful encouragements, kind words and insights.
John 3:4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my spiritual children are living their lives in the Truth.
I am not saying YOU are MY Children just that I believe John might say this to us all with me included I hope!
Darren. You quoted Romans 14 vs 10 and 13. The verses between that you omitted say this : For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, EVERY knee shall bow to ME, and EVERY tongue shall confess to God,…
And now here comes THE CLINCHER for all of us to recognise and take cognisance of…vs 12 SO…each of US, shall give and account of himSELF/herSELF to God.
For me, that last part says VOLUMES! My self and your self matter little it is YOUR self (and of course MY self) and God’s self that is CHRIST – Christ IS GOD’S SELF, that counts for ALL AND EVERYTHING. Everything else follows! :D 8)
Oh and by the way, as for me, my self, is the beast. Only Christ is the Self worth knowing and expressing!
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
Deborah-Leigh:
Huh ???... I "said so rightly " WHAT???
Oh well! :D ;D 8)...I am out of here!
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

mari_et_pere:
Are we done arguing yet? :o ??? ::) ;)
No really though, I've thought about this for a couple days since I first replied to it. I guess I consider anyone who is following Christ and trying to learn the truth my brother. Or sister!
It's not one's fault per se, if they are believing the way their church leaders/TBN whoever, leads them to believe. I used to believe the TBN style nonsense. Would I have not been your brother then? Maybe since I don't totally see eye to eye with you now, nor you with me, am I not now your brother either? I certainly consider you all my brother or sister, even though I don't always fully agree with ya! :o :D
We are all on a quest for the whole truth, correct? Do I have ALL the truth? Certainly not! Do you have it all? Again I say certainly not! We are brothers and sisters on the same journey to grow in Christ and learn his ways and truths.
I don't think any of this is unscriptual. If so let me know, but I'm pretty sure. For right now anyway. :)
Peace
Matt
