    A (now-relevant) question on 1 Corinthians 10:17

    I've come across a question that carries with it present significance during the coronavirus pandemic: 1 Corinthians 10:17 says, "Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread" (NASB). Is this "one body" the universal church (all Christians...

    Today's Christian Religion

    "Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: "The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So, practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men's shoulders, but...

    Three Kingdom Baptisms Versus One Baptism For Today 01.20.2020

    Greetings to All: This thread is dedicated to deliberations on the differences between the Four Baptisms of the New Testament connected to the Two Gospels (link) and Two Churches (link) of the New Testament from previous deliberations. There are three baptisms for the "Gospel of the Kingdom"...

    The Church in Practice

    Yesterday the Lord led me to write about The Church in Action, which had to do with defining what the church is, and what it isn’t, and what the gatherings of the church are supposed to look like, based on scripture. Today, I believe the Lord wants me to continue on this subject of the church...

    My Introduction

    I should introduce myself. My name is Daniel Roth. I live in Canada. I was recently born again and am currently being baptized in the Holy Spirit and Fire. I am of the mind that this is not an instantaneous process. I believe in my heart of hearts that those of us whom God wants to work through...

    Eating the Lamb of God - In what ways does it clarify the purpose for Christ's shed blood?

    The sin offering in the Old Testament sanctuary service symbolized the Lamb of God. The study in this video reveals that in the amazing reality to which the sin offering pointed, believers are to eat the Lamb of God. Much is said about the importance of Christ's blood releasing us from the...

    Are We Judging Or Loving One Another?

    For the true Christian, those who are spiritually reborn into the body of Christ, life on this world will be a challenge. Jesus said, "If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are...

    We Are Not Called To Conform To This World

    Recently, I have been corresponding with a few fellow Christian’s to include here on Christian Forums who have stated that they have had enough of trying to fit in with other’s who claim to be Christians in modern “church” venues and yet do most everything in a way that conforms to this world...

    We Need Unity In The Body Of Christ (the Church)

    Jesus gave us two commandments: that we should love the Father first, and that we should love ALL of mankind no matter who they are. Furthermore, Jesus prayed a special prayer to the Father imploring His true followers, the Church, to be united as we serve the kingdom of heaven as “one body.”...

    The Voice of Reason

    Ephesians 2:19-22 ESV So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined...

    Adam And Eve, Christ And Israel.

    I don’t know how coherent this will be but it hit me like a lightbulb this afternoon and I wanted to note it down. I might try and edit it in the future really just for me but others might need it. How in Genesis God made Adam outside of the garden and brought him into it. And How without God...

    Roadmap For Christians

    “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2 Near the end of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans he listed some of the things Christians should keep in mind as they go through their daily life. It’s a roadmap for worthy...

    Step Eleven – Your Place In The Body Of Christ

    A disdain for organized religion has many Christians struggling to work out their faith in isolation. This is a bad idea and not what God wants. Believers are all part of the body of Christ and need to be working together to each do their part. If you are not interacting with other believers...

    We, The Body

    Ephesians 4:11-16 NASB And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the...

    Are You Washed?

    1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? 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...

    The Humble Hackberry

    It has gray corky looking bark. Typically this North Dakota native typically grows 30 to 50 feet. It seldom grows in pure stands because it is not a very strong competitor. It is often mistaken for the American Elm but it lacks the lovely vase shape and does not turn yellow in the fall, but...

    Dan 10:6 [Voice of a Multitude? = Body of Christ] 1 Cor 12:12-27

    I believe that GOD has a voice of a multitude (Daniel 10:6) because that is the body of Christ that is talking within Him. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) GOD can't sound like a bunch of people if it wasn't a bunch of people living inside HIM. (John 15:1-7) That's why I believe we are the "us" in...

    Christian "religion" and War.

    Christianity = faith, hope and trust in Jesus as Savior. It is devoid of religious structure. It is not a political subdivision. It has zero to do with war. Christians at war is an oxymoron. Christians are the Body of Christ. We get dragged into war because of the failure of our culture to...

    Denominations are at odds with the true body of Christ

    I don't attend a denominational church because they require that everyone agrees on a particular doctrine and/or statement of faith. I disagree with that approach because it isn't in agreement with the New Testament. When the first ekklesia were formed they were groups of people, each person...
