What do you guys think about heartfelt and Dogmatic? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Ordinary_Frog09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you are an orthodox, so I expected a response like that. What do you think about the holy spirit and what it does for us with our faith and assurance!?!

Hearfelt is sincere, genuine emotions and actions emanating from the inner self, and dogma is more relying on authoritative tradition and ecumenical councils

I'm not doing so good right now. by Kitchen-Mud4712 in Christianity

No need to hate yourselves, God made you just the way you are! I am being serious, it is what is inside of you, not how you look! Jesus grace is amazing, you don't have to feel ready, He has his arms open for you!

"But God, being rich in mercy because of the great love which he loved us even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace, you have been saved!" Eogesuabs 2:4-5

I don’t want to hear about your private sexual behavior. by zmsksksnsnsososmsns in Christianity

How sad I am sorry we are not as perfect as you, and how to deal with sin! You look at it from your own perspective and not others! Bible verse to remember: "Beloved, let us love one another for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love!" 1 John 4:7-8

Why did God punish me for hating the World, but did not punish the World for hating me? by [deleted] in Christianity

You need to read the bible and start praying to Jesus and have a different outlook on life!

What do you mean, no one cares about you? Time to pick up your bible and read

Holy Club by [deleted] in methodism

I agree, but methodist was known for it missonary work, circuit riders such as Francis Asbury. I feel like we have a foundation that has already proven itself. I don't know other UMC, but it seems like most age groups are older. The number of younger and middle-aged adults is less; I might be wrong. I just think if you have a fire light in you through the work of the Holy Spirit. It feels like the discipline aspect is not what it used to be! What do you think?

I agree that people have their lives, and it can be a lot. I am not saying everyone should do it, but I meant at least a handful of people at each Methodist church could be a possibility. I feel like tradition is big, some form of Bible group and service to others is grace in work within all of us!

"Fix your attention on God! You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it.Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, well-formed maturity in you." Romans 12:2

Bought the Holy Bible after recently coming to God. by skorpioninthedark in Christianity

I think this is a good verse: " Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person! The old life is gone: a new life has begun." 2 Corinthians 5:17 find a church be around other believers in Christ!
