It is a deception to think that one can tweak and change church enough to be good, to be pleasing in the eyes of God, yet, many thing that they are the ones that can start the true church, who can be the true pastor and can have the real disciples. We cannot change or tweak change church ever because the church is full of people, and we can't ever change the heart of man. The problem is deep seeded in the heart of man. And there is no way anyone can make the heart of man good when it is in fact evil. If you want to be righteous before Jesus you have to ask Him to change you. You have to come out, be separate, let Him change you. You can't fix the church no matter how much you toil and try, you're not going to fix it. Only the Lord Jesus can change the heart of man. And only HE can change you. No fellowship group, no amount of Bible study, no amount of Sunday morning worship, nothing is going to change the heart of man, the only thing that will purify you is a relationship with Jesus and Him telling you what you need to do and you obeying Him. We need to bow before the feet of Jesus. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
TRUTH bro! The "CHURCH" has no window or doors.. It does not sell tape sets and books nor does it have a Building Fund or Professional Shepard who make "Church" into a business of POWER and PROFIT. The TRUE CHURCH is a relationship that exists once we are connected to Jesus and requires no interpretation, dogma nor doctrines EXCEPT what is given via The Holy Spirit.. You cannot GO to church because you are always in it if you be IN CHRIST JESUS! Amen? ~a~

Duncan what are you talking about? The world is not our home we are Pilgrims passing through how is that right for Christians to defend the nations where they live whose governments lie about the real reason why they should go to war to put a bullet in a human being that Jesus died for when he said love our enemies? Does that make sense?

BY THE WAY, STRIVING AGAINST THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH BECOMES THE WAY OF LIFE FOR A TRUE BELIEVER NOT FOR SALVATION BUT BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT!
AFTER ALL, BELIEVERS RECEIVE THE ((HOLY)) SPIRIT NOT THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD.
THOSE WHO INDULGE IN DAILY SINS WITH NO FEAR EVEN AFTER THEY PROFESS THEY BELIEVED THE GOSPEL, I WOULD SAY THAT EITHER THEY HAD A FALSE CONVERSION OR THEY FELL AWAY...FOR THEIR SAKES, I HOPE IT IS NOT THE LATTER. PLEADING IGNORANCE IS NOT AN OPTION, WE HAVE THE SCRIPTURES IN FULL

IF ANY MAN HERE FEARS GOD, REPENT AND CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CONFESSING YOUR SINS AND HUMBLY ASK FOR MERCY BECAUSE OF YOUR SINS.... YOU WILL KNOW YOUR ARE TRULY FORGIVEN IF YOU ((((RECEIVE))) ((((TRUE)))) FAITH IN THE GOSPEL(JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR (((YOUR))) SINS WAS BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY)
WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU WILL ((KNOW)) YOU ARE SAVED. FROM THERE YOU WILL BE MOVED TO STUDY THE SCRIPTURES THEN TO PREACH TO WHO EVER WILL LISTEN.

God purifies a mans heart by FAITH friend, adding on to this is not wise. Children of men are called to obey the gospel, obey the will of the Father, do the work of God, do righteousness, do works meet for repentance and this is all referring to believing on Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Sadly there are MANY professing Christ and have not yet entered into the covenant by Sacrifice. Most here on yt are NOT qualified to preach Christ for they them selves are FAITHLESS.

@GreggDuncanMcLean1 Do u want to live under communism or a Muslim regeim or an evil dictator and do so by quoting turn the other cheek while your family and friends are marched off in front of you into bondage? check out the nation of Israel and see the many wars they were lead into by God Himself. Dont seek to foolishly try and put the sermon on the mount into how nations must operated it just wasnt given to them but to you and me indivisualy not corperitly as nations.

@BiGMANJOE32 yes does that satisfy your question now? as for nations going to war what Jesus spoke was to His followers not nations and until the Lord returns an sets up His kingdom there will always be conficts, fighting, and wars and thank God men and women are willing to serve in their nations militaries until then for you better believe if the U.S.A did not have a strong military presense that much of the free world would not be due to evil men and their evil plans for conquest.
