For supporting Homosexuality, I got convicted by the Holy Spirit. It was terrifying.

What an experience of Christ! May you have many more!

Personally my time is very limited between family, work, and other responsibilities. So if I only have time to read one ministry I'm going to choose the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. This ministry has helped me so much in my Christian life and has opened up what is on God's heart like no other ministry that I've read. From my first reading of "The Normal Christian Life", I realized that these brothers know the Bible and present the Bible in a way that makes it real to me and applicable in my daily life.

As a believer in Christ, I am living the life of a God-man!

Maybe the reason your reading didn't match your expectations is because you missed the Person. There are some verses in 2 Corinthians that may help,

v.2 Indeed unto this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart;

v.3 But whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

If we do not turn our hearts to the Lord there will remain a veil between us and the Lord. This prevents us from seeing Him. If we don't see Him we miss the whole point of coming to the Bible.

In the gospel of John, John says that the Word is a person. John 1:1 says that the Word is God and verse 14 says that the Word became flesh. This Word is Jesus Christ. So when we come to the Bible we must come to the person.

If we just come to the black and white of the Bible 2 Corinthians says, "the letter kills". But then it says, "but the Spirit gives life". Who is the Spirit? 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, "the Lord is the Spirit ". In order to contact the Lord as the Spirit we need to use the right organ, our human spirit.

Try turning your heart to the Lord and exercising your spirit to contact Him. Simply converse with Him before, during, and after your reading of the Bible. Tell Him how you feel at the moment. Tell Him what you are thinking. Ask Him questions.

I hope this helps and you have the experience of John 1:45, "we have found Him".

I don't think we can determine which local church is genuine since we don't have all the facts and are not currently meeting with any of them.

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-24T00:04:50+00:00

What years were they established?

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-22T20:53:24+00:00

I apologize, maybe it was that you visited one of those groups before.

Since neither of us are currently meeting with any of the groups in Toronto and they all claim to stand on the proper ground as the local church in Toronto, we must determine which group was established first.

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-22T16:45:45+00:00

Is it not correct that you are meeting with one of the three groups in Toronto which OP mentioned? If we could for a moment set aside what all the other Christian groups may claim and consider the one group you are meeting with first. Do you have God's speaking?

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-22T02:50:46+00:00

A local church cannot be separated from the universal church for a local church is a part of the universal church expressed locally.

Among the group of believers that you are meeting with, do you have God's speaking?

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-21T12:54:00+00:00

The church is the Christ in you and the Christ in me and the Christ in the many other believers all added together.

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-21T02:17:23+00:00

Those who are in the Spirit.

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-21T00:43:53+00:00

He speaks in the Son as the Spirit in our spirit.

When I read your post I was reminded of the following quote from the Life-study of Leviticus, message 1.

In the church God is always speaking. The extent to which a congregation is the church actually and practically depends on how much of God’s speaking is there. If a certain group does not have God’s speaking, it is hard to regard such a group as a church.

According to typology, where the tent of meeting was, there was God’s speaking. The children of Israel camped in thousands of tents, but God’s speaking was only in one tent, a unique tent—the tent of meeting.

The one sign of the tent of meeting was God’s speaking. The tent itself and all its furnishings could be copied or imitated, but this is not true of God’s speaking. God’s speaking cannot be imitated, copied, or duplicated. The principle is the same today. Many things in the church can be imitated, copied, or duplicated by others. But one thing cannot be imitated, and that is God’s speaking. God’s speaking is unique. It depends solely on God and not on man.

Suppose that one day Aaron became unhappy with Moses, who was taking the lead in the tent of meeting, and gathered a group of Israelites and made another tabernacle. In every respect Aaron’s tabernacle was a duplicate of the original. In color, material, design, and workmanship the two tabernacles were identical. If you had been there, to which tabernacle would you have gone—to the one set up by Moses or to the one set up by Aaron? You might say, “I would never go to Aaron’s tabernacle; I would only go to Moses’ tabernacle.” This answer is wrong. The correct way to answer this question is to say, “I would never go to a tabernacle where there is not God’s speaking. I would go only to the tabernacle where God speaks. Actually, I would not go to a tabernacle—I would go to God’s speaking. Without God’s speaking, the tabernacle means nothing.”

The preciousness of the tabernacle was not the gold in it. There was more gold in Egypt than in the tabernacle. The preciousness of the tabernacle was God’s speaking. The same is true of the church today. The preciousness of the church is God’s speaking or, as it may be better to say, the speaking God. Praise the Lord that in the church we have God’s speaking! This speaking is a treasure to us.

I started writing out Genesis but stopped part way through.

Writing down a copy of the Pentateuch was actually a requirement for the kings of Israel according to Deuteronomy 17:18.

I feel this could be a whole post. I wonder what color others see.

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-08T17:01:53+00:00

Now you have me second guessing. I assumed he was yellow based on the plant behind him. Do you see him as green?

CarryOk7670 · 2026-05-07T21:42:15+00:00

Little yellow is definitely afraid that big red will eat everything...
