Christians often forget that we are spiritual beings, and that we live in a world where the physical and spiritual overlap.
We need to learn to think and act more spiritually.
@imPenny2x Much of the biblical imagery is missed these days, it all has meaning for example.
An altar had 4 points covered in the blood of the sacrifice.
The cross had 4 points covered in the blood of Jesus’ sacrifice, his head, hands and feet.
@DrFrankTurek Yes, I had a dream where Jesus visited me and healed my back.
That morning I woke up without back pain for the 1st time in 3 years.
It hasn’t returned 10 years later. 🙌
@PLeithart There is great poetry in this.
At the transfiguration, Jesus is shown at his most glorified state.
At the cross Jesus is seen at his most human and vulnerable state.
He takes more delight in the sincere humble devotion of one true saint, than in all the moral virtue and outward religion of all the natural men in the world.
So tired of endless Christian debates on minor things.
X is a breeding ground for this!
2 Tim 2
23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 & the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone…
Luke 13:24
“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.
Jn3:3
“Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
You’re in, or you’re out!
The Kingdom of God is both inclusive and exclusive.
It is Inclusive - Revelation 7:9
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language.
And it’s exclusive…
