If you pray like your husband said....it might be that is where you need to be. Because we as believers are GODs Soliders.

The Lord will work it out and it will be better in the end than in the beginning.

[spacelizardlaw]

Christ had a MASSIVE heart & intellect.

Christianity got screwed in the past & is screwed in the present because Christ words aren't the foundation of the faith.

It's been that way since Saul & Clement of Rome as both of those men substituted their words in place of Christ's words.

Memorise Christ's words then spend 6 months reflecting on where you stand in relation to 'HIS' opinions alone.

It’s your best shot otherwise deception will own you.

Why ignore Christ said to drown paedophile priests.

[ChristianHousewives]

@spacelizardlaw Very true. Great insight.

[apriljessica266]

most likely she stop going to church cuase he didnt want her going becuase he didnt want to pay tithes like she said . so she is only making him happy not GOD. See how that works I can judge you like you are judging plp in the church.

[ChristianHousewives]

@apriljessica266 Thank you for your thoughts on the matter Sis. I seek not to judge anyone. That is not my job nor do I want to be a part of any judgements against anyone else. May the Lord be with you and protect you and your family from what's to come.

[apriljessica266]

what would you say to there are plp that attend church that are followers of JESUS and your judging plp by your bad experience of church. Thats sterotyping . And Jesus went to church .

[SweetestTasteofSour]

Very insightful. Thanks for this:)

[millienl]

question, whatabout in acts when it talks about the fellowship of believers? Also the body of christ. How do u feel about that? and How does what ur saying fit into to that?

[ChristianHousewives]

@millienl Great question. In the book of Acts there was fellowship of believers but it was most likely in each other's homes and/or in the court yards, not in an institutional church (synagogue).  Some people today have chosen to come out of the church systems and create smaller groups. They have set up house church among themselves. I have commented about this in the "YOU are the church" series on my YTpage. It's towards the middle of video 7b.

[revelations171]

he didn't seem into her at all..like..bodylanguaaaaaaaaaa­aage says get off of me..i mean look at how far away his face is from hers..

[ChristianHousewives]

@revelations171 Good catch. But, he is actually shy on camera sometimes; thus the body language. ;o)

[tdvesimms]

Agree with everything except a statement you made near the end. Catholics ARE NOT true followers of Christ. Catholics will go to hell unless they repent and worship God in Spirit and Truth. Catholicism is a religion of white-washed tombs and dead mens' bones masquerading as biblical Christianity. The only Holy Father according to Jesus is God (Jn 17:11). The Pope is an antichrist. Using God's title is blasphemous! Their leaven-filled gospel has the blind leading the blind. Woe to them!

[ChristianHousewives]

@tdvesimms What you are saying is truth. There may be some, however small the amount will be, among catholics however that may make it out of that system as true believers though. It may be that these few have not been tainted by the idolatry of the mother of all harlots (the catholic church). I pray that there are and that they come OUT of that system.

[thatwhichisgiven]

@tdvesimms Dunno if I believe all of that... One can call themselves "Catholic" and still have a close personal relationship with Jesus, which is really what gets one into Heaven. "Catholic" is merely a label -- whether you let it come to define you is, to an extent, what determines where you'll end up.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven You can't have a personal relationship with Jesus AND disregard his word. Catholics deny many of the teachings of scripture; even elevating Mary to equality w/Jesus. This is why they pray to Mary during the rosary! To them she is a co-mediatrix with Christ. The word says there is ONE mediator-Christ! They've denied the teachings of Christ and exchanged them for the traditions of men. Christ is not separate from his word. Deny his word, you deny him. No relationship!

[thatwhichisgiven]

@ChurchStartsAtHome Not all Catholics do, though. Like I said, for many, "Catholic" is just a label. There are many that DO share a personal relationship with Christ, that DON'T look on the saints as Jesus' equals or co-mediators, but pray only to God, and simply call themselves "Catholic" because they grew up in a Catholic church. I know many such Christians. That's why I don't like this whole "denomination" thing. It labels us, than causes us to judge others based on said labels. It's unfair.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven A person uses that label because they agree with the tenants of Catholicism whether they practice them or not. If you don't agree then the word of God states in 2 Cr 6:14: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" verse 16, "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?..." They pray to dead saints which is idolotrous! Agree denominations are wrong.

[thatwhichisgiven]

@ChurchStartsAtHome Or they use that label because they don't fully understand all that Catholicism entails. There ARE those that pray only to God and NOT to the saints, but attend a weekly confessional, use Holy Water, kneel before a crucifix and use rosaries (and use them to pray only to Jesus) and therefore call themselves "Catholic". Those ones aren't being idolitrous, they're simply following a set of rules while keeping close to God. I believe that they can and do go to Heaven.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven I gave you scripture and you're replying with flawed reasoning. According to your logic, a Mormon or J/Witness could use their label and just pray to Jesus. We both know that is illogical. You use the label because you AGREE with the religion as a whole, even if you practice it in part! A true Christian should not give legitimacy to Catholicism by using that label. Again, "what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" 2Cr6:15

[thatwhichisgiven]

@ChurchStartsAtHome Thank you for insulting me, I was trying to keep this impersonal. I don't believe that Mormons or J/Witnesses can go to Heaven because both religions have re-written the Bible, and there's nothing uncertain about where that's gonna end you up. Not ALL Catholics are idol-worshippers. Anyway, by your reasoning (which is in part very true) before Martin Luther, NOBODY got into Heaven, because everybody was either Heathen, Jewish, or Catholic. Which makes no sense whatsoever.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven wasn't an insult. I apologize if it seemed that way. I was merely pointing out an obvious logical fallacy. Interesting you don't believe Mormons or JWs go to heaven, but members of the 2nd biggest cult can despite their doctrinal heresy, mary worship, idol worship, and popery (the vicar of Christ or substitute for Christ)...Really?! The bible states false Christs are antichrists. You cannot serve 2 masters. Either you are worshipping God in Spirit and Truth or you're not.

[thatwhichisgiven]

@ChurchStartsAtHome BUT SOME OF THEM DON'T WORSHIP IDOLS OR PRAY TO MARY. I'm sorry, I'm not using all caps to shout, it's just the only way to make sure emphasis is put on my point. You can't judge based on a label.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven No prob. It's all good. To say that I can't judge based on a label is incorrect. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man 2Cr2:15. Jesus says don't judge hypocritically in Mat7:1-5. He says judge righteous judgement in Mat7:24. So making a righteous judgment in accordance with the word of God is not only acceptable, but expected of Saints. Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1Cr6:3

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven oops. Judge righteous judgment is found in John 7:24 not Mat 7:24. sorry about that. take care

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven Sorry, not enough space to address your point about worshippers before Luther. There have always been true worshippers of the Living God in every age since the church began at Pentacost. Luther was a Catholic that finally saw the light and led the reformation. Based on your passionate defense of the Catholic religion, I will assume a family member or close friend is a member. If so please tell them the truth in love. BTW the Catholic bible has 73 books versus 66. take care

[thatwhichisgiven]

@ChurchStartsAtHome True worshippers of the Living God who called themselves "Catholic". That's the point I'm trying to make. In some cases, it defines a religion. In others... it's literally JUST a name.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@thatwhichisgiven We're going to have to agree to disagree.  The word of God must be the final authority. Jesus says you are either with me or against me. The Catholic religion is against him! The word states..come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord...Jesus states, if you love me keep my commandments! We must OBEY this. Jesus is..the author of eternal salvation unto all that OBEY him! Jesus said it best, why call ye me, Lord Lord and do not the things which I say? Luk6:46

[ChristianHousewives]

@thatwhichisgiven Exactly. What you're saying is truth. You have many who do not know their right from their left (as the ninevites) and yet they DO have a relationship with the Lord no matter what "label" they have put upon themselves. To say that all Catholics are going to hell is an error.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@ChristianHousewives The bible is clear, you must willing to forsake all to follow Christ. If you knowingly belong to a church that dishonors Christ, dishonors the word of God, venerates a man to near God-hood and remain aligned to it then you have aligned yourself against God. The Holy Spirit would NEVER prompt a born-again believer to stay in and use the label of a religion that is antiChrisitan in nature. If you TRULY don't know, God will have mercy on whom he will have mercy! Rom 9:18

[ChristianHousewives]

@thatwhichisgiven I agree with you. Very well said. This is why, Jesus said you will know his disciples if you love one another. The greatest commandments are to love God and to love one another...

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@ChristianHousewives You are correct to state the greatest commandment is to love God and then love one another. However, true love is an obedient love! His word tells us very forcifully, to come out and be seperate from them or any other cult. If you do not, you are disobeying the express command of the Lord God himself! Any Catholic can come to the truth and be saved IF they obey the express command of God. It is written...to obey [is] better than sacrifice...1Sam15:22. We must obey!

[The1Thinker]

@ChurchStartsAtHome Catholics dont deny the teachings of scripture and dont elevate Mary to equality w/Jesus. That is used to attack Catholics (and more). Learn the difference between adoration and veneration and you will understand better before you say non-sense. The ones that denied the full teachings of the bible where the protestant when many books where removed from the catholic bible during the "reform" to create the bible that you have in your hands. PEACE and God Bless You.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@The1Thinker You are grossly uniformed. You can split hair all you want about adoration vs veneration but Catholics PRAY to Mary and other dead Saints; an abomination to God. Catholics clearly teach Mary was sinless (heretical), Pope is infallible (heretical), Mary is co-mediatrix (heretical), Pope is the substitute for Christ on earth (heretical), doctrine of purgatory (unbiblical), teach wafer and wine literally become the literal body and blood of Christ (canabalism is forbidden). Wake up!

[The1Thinker]

@ChurchStartsAtHome Think what you want, and nothing is biblical for you because is not in your bible, the catholic bible is complete read it before you say is not biblical. Is not my fault you are reading a bible that is not complete because they removed those books. (read history)

[The1Thinker]

@The1Thinker and again another mistake you made The POPE is substitute of Peter not Christ. Like I say, read befor you make remarks.

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@The1Thinker Last time I checked the poop's title "Vicar of Christ" still means representative or substitute for Christ. You know, the bible you clearly don’t read does talk about those who claim to substitute for Christ. The Word of God calls them ANTICHRISTS. The poop is not THE antichrist, but an antichrist nonetheless. I know that might get me burned at the stake, you guys like to do that to Protestants who expose the truth. Your idols can’t save you! Mary can’t save you! JESUS SAVES!

[ChurchStartsAtHome]

@The1Thinker Wow. Amazing how clueless you are about the Catholic cult you defend. It appears the priests have molested your common sense in the same way they molest little boys. Eating Christ's literal flesh is CANNIBALISM. Canabalism is a curse from God (Lev 26:29;Jer 19:9). BTW, I've read the entire bible cover to cover. I suggest you do the same. The Catholic bible has Apocryphal junk. Trust the TRUE HOLY FATHER whom Jesus prayed to in Jhn17:11 not the blasphemous antichrist Poop of Rome!

what train station are you guys at?

[ChristianHousewives]

@higherground2050 Lol. We were at a station in Queens at the time. Then we took the metro north down town to Manhattan.  ;o)

[TRAINERBIGJ]

JESUS WANTS US TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.....AMEN

[jvsm1971]

Should unbelievers even be in a church gathering on sunday?(or sat)? Yes unbelievers must hear the Gospel, and of coarse invite them into your home to talk, chat and what-not, but I really struggle with unbelievers sitting in on Worship day to the Lord without there ever being a conversion...We really DONT KNOW what's coming into service with them.. Im not being dogmattic about this, just thinking out loud.

[MrPsalm53]

Not religion, but a RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. Jesus says in the bible when you are tired of religion come to me. You will know my disciples by their fruit. People need to preach about the life changing affects that Jesus, and his precious blood, have on the believer, and how his grace leads us to repentance.

[ChristianHousewives]

@MrPsalm53 You are so right bro.

[WildernessCall]

God bless you two. You have a great channel here and videos. I have watched several already and can tell you have a true heart for the Lord and have your eyes open and seeking the truth. Thank you for subscribing and may God bless you.

[ChristianHousewives]

@WildernessCall Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Please pray for my family and I. I pray we have a pure heart and that we will be ready whenever the Lord calls.

[ChristianHousewives]

@spaceforjesus That is wonderful. Yes, my husband and I were a part of a house church in NY before we oved down south.

[jesusismylove100]

Amen there is a big difference of being a church goer VS a true follower of christ.The bible says you will know them by their fruits.Good video sis

[ChristianHousewives]

@jesusismylove100 Thanks so much.

[ChristianHousewives]

@helperwife Amen Sis. I totally agree. Thank you so much for hearing us out.

[pastorgeorgec]

Before I comment on the video I want to say how I love the intro many memories of when I was street preaching at 41st and 7th.

Sadly many people are just church folk. The pastors want to fill their pockets and the congregation wants to impress the next one with how good they look. I will never serve a church like that. Spirit and truth that is what we need.

Hey drop by if you are that close by Fri at 8 Sun at 11

[ChristianHousewives]

@pastorgeorgec Oh, so sorry Pastor George. I really would have came, but we are back down south already! The visit to NY was really short. (So cool that you used to street preach there. I used to train preach back in the day. New York, NY... There were some good times there man!)

[summersky1119]

and i think that the "gut feeling" often times may be the Holy Spirit directing us...whereas every time i rely on my intellect to talk myself out of what my gut feeling is telling me, i always make the wrong decision...anyways, i look forward to your videos, they are really good! :-)

[summersky1119]

Great video (and so true!)... each day i am becoming more and more convinced how much it is important to be listen to the still small voice inside of us (versus ministers/rabbis/priests, bible scholars, commentaries at the bottom of bible pages, etc.)... one thing i am noticing lately is how important it is to pay more attention to my "gut" feeling instead of my intellect...i think that is what Yeshua meant when He talked about how we have to be like a child...great video! :-)

[ChristianHousewives]

@summersky1119  You are so right! I need to do that more too. I'm such a slow learner sometimes, but God is teaching me to do that more and more. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate all the vids I've been seeing lately in our Christian community. They've been helping me so much! Love you Sis.

[summersky1119]

@ChristianHousewives love you too! :-) i need to do that more and more too because this is something that is just finally sinking in with me...it took me forever (i am 40) for this to really sink in... i agree, all of Yeshua's true followers on youtube are very inspirational to watch all of your videos :-)
