How beautifully expressed! ;D
What a pleasure it is to get to know you outside of the other forum. To listen to your thoughts on verses and biblical issues without all the religious rhetoric that prevents the peace and love needed to hear what another one is saying.
It has amazed me to be on this site thanks to our dear sister Cizz, who made this possible, and find the peace, and I can actually hear what others are saying in the intent they are expressing it. Hope you will find this same fulfillment here.
I am in total agreement with you we are all one in Christ, regardless of membership in any particular church...lol I would be attacked right now having said this on the other forum.
Jesus said to love one another and by this we will be his disciples only. We have to love all denominations of people, but not their doctrine. This is a little off subject but reading what you said brought this out from me. lol
It is true the members of the church have become calcified with interpretations through out time, and this was one reason why I prayed and started asking the Lord to teach me directly himself through his Holy Spirit which is exactly what I found John 14:26 to be saying..
Since then I have stopped thinking in the mindset denominations tend to bring you into....thank the Lord he showed me they are all his children who profess his name and follow the way of love to one another....nothing matters more than that...lol
Thanks for sharing, hope to see you come and post your thoughts for us and share your love on these times we exist in. lol
In Christ's love
