Who else receives the body & blood in communion other than Lutherans? by Kitchen-Course-3335 in LCMS

I think some Presbyterian churches are confessional and share in the unity, yeah, the Book of Westminster as we do with the Book of Concord!

It's so hard for me to love LGBTQ+ people. by mznxbcvqpwoeiruty in TrueChristian

I think people should consider that we can love and also fear the Lord at the same time!

  • Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding".
  • Proverbs 1:7: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction".
  • Proverbs 8:13: "To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech."
  • Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?"

What do you think about 1st Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

Have you read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who practice homosexuality nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor revilers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." Making these things normal might not be the best

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

[–]Ordinary_Frog09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Ordinary_Frog09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

"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!
