patient to all men yes however
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Brandon was trying to pass himself off as a brother and i for one more didn't think He was in a right place
i don't want to break bread (share in the word) with someone who has doctrines against the doctrine of Christ.(fornication, babylon)
if he had showed the slightest bit of humility or sincere desire for Christ i would have tried to cut Him some slack but my spirit was just going NO WAY THIS GUY ISN'T RIGHT
it's embarassing a little for me because God is only just dealing with me on this same subject
when i first came to this board i was constantly falling into the wrong spirit but God in His mercy has been chastening and scourging and i trust soon i will be more like Him than i was before
so as i continue, i want to seek Christ in the people here, not seek the admiration of those who are Christs here
we are one in Him members one of another and members of Christ
with gifts for one another
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16 From whom
the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which
every joint supplieth, according to the
effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the
edifying of itself in love. Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
well God knows
i'm just glad i didn't get thrown out when i drifted into a wrong spirit here and there
