Proverbs 4:5-7
The Church back to extracts 12 min. read
People are the Church...
Matthew 18 verse 20...
..."Where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them".
From the above, & other passages, the Bible makes it very clear when it states...
...The Church is NOT a building but a group of people that follow the teachings of Jesus.
Congregations make up The Churches.
That does not mean that people living alone are not part of the church as Jesus in Matthew 6 verse 6 states...
..."When you pray, go into your room close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you".
An old Middle Eastern saying is...
..."Those alone live in the neighborhood of God".
Proverbs 21 verse 19
"It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman".
Or indeed 'a dysfunctional volatile family or community'.
1 Corinthians 7 verse 32...
"I would like you to be free from concern.
An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affair shows he can please the Lord.
But
a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world-
- how he can please his wife when his interests are divided ?
An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs her aim is to be devoted to Lord in both body and mind".
Regardless if you live alone or live within a volatile family or neighborhood...
...with your conduct always follow Jesus' golden rule & you will be part of the church...
"Do unto to others that for which you would have others do unto you".
As far as sin is concerned the Bottom Line is ...
It doesn't matter if you are heterosexual LGBTIQA or if you indulge in masturbation as far as the deity is concerned all sexual activity is just like any other sin.
However people will not be punished for sin.
The following metaphor explains why...
...A person is driving a car down the road when they run into a crowd of people injuring & killing many.
The judge finds the driver not guilty when the defense lawyer presents evidence the brakes were faulty.
All humans have a faulty psyche, that usually, adversely, affects the soul.
This faulty contamination gets impregnated within our DNA when conception comes about via sexual intercourse.
The adulteration was instigated because of the deception perpetrated by Satan.
Jesus became our defense lawyer.
He is the anointed one, our Savior, who takes away all manner of sins.
Even when sinners do not regret their sins God may still forgive.
With most the correction is hoped to come about after their souls gravitate back to a life on the same or a lower level as was their last incarnation or reincarnation.
Jesus describes how the soul feels because of its return or demotion to earth as being like going into the valley Hinnom a place of misery.
Hell is a place for fallen angels & not for those with The Lord God of Earth's given soul.
Hell, for the human body & soul, is a state of mind.
Birth, for most is a traumatic experience.
Whereas dying, for most, is tranquil.
After the end of this era, on judgement day, lost souls will receive a cleansing.
Baptism is an earthly symbolic representation of the heavenly cleansing.
It is only by the grace of God everything, including evolution, exists.
Evolution was integrated within creation all as a part of His Divine plan.
Thank YOU.
