Church today...

aqrinc:

I do understand your feelings and why you do it. However we do need to be aware
that being a Light; others are seeing what we do and concluding that if He or She
does it; it must be ok. I too am married for over 35 years now, my wife is still in Babylon
although not as firmly as before. We used to do all the church attending together, now
for a wedding or funeral i would still attend a service with her or a friend, certainly not
for any other purpose.

This is nothing personal just one Brother talking to the rest of the family. Respectfully we
can agree to disagree on this topic until i can understand better. We are all still carnal even
as The Spirit Grows in us so we must trust the Scriptures:

Philippians 1:6:
Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Btw; This is the main part of the excerpt that i was referring to.

We can love our neighbor, with a agape love, we don’t need to fellowship, hobnob with them or become part of what they are, in any way, shape or form.  When God says, love your enemies.  If it said you would have to phileo your enemies, then I would just have to take my 9 pages of notes here, tear them up, throw them away.  Close the Bible and say, I have not a clue as to what this thing about love is, not a clue.

Yes we can.
 

WhoAmI:
As nice as it is to have the scriptures, having them in a building doesn't change anything. Even though I get what Alex is saying. The early church didn't have chapter and verse and yet we do and are overloaded with lies, myths and tradition etc.

Fester, George

We can all attest to the difficulty of putting our hands to the plow and not looking back or forsaking all and following Christ.

We are all striving towards the crown and as Father through His spirit strengthens us we grow in faith and works. 

Father looks at our hearts and its intention but the world looks on the outward man.  We are to be to the world Jesus Christ and this is our cross.

Deborah-Leigh:
Hi Alex

When my husband and I were in Babylon as a leaders, we were told by our "superiors" that Bibles were not going to be permitted in "leadership" meetings. It aggravated the "leadership" that we were constantly referring and quoting and turning to the Scriptures as our authority. Babylon despises the Word of God and this includes not just the leaders but the submissive followers too who have not yet been dragged out and neither have they heard the Word of God calling His People to come out. 

I use red ink to emphasise the teaching from "You Fools! You Hypocrites! You Snakes!" Quote:

Who were the Scribes and Pharisees?

The Pharisees were not the priests, but rather people from all walks of life who were very pious and strict keepers of the Law of Moses.
