Do we find something in 1 Corinthians 3?

And of course most people's version of walking in love requires everyone to agree with each other at the expense of what God's Word teaches.

If one disagrees with someone based on what God's Word teaches, many claim they are not walking in love.


Why so many disagreements between christians?

Not many these days put what God teaches in His Word first place in life.

If you are young in the Lord - You'd be better of stepping back from talk forums and studying God's Word for yourself and learn to put what He says before what people say and not be found to be a servant of men

So you can dish it out and get upset when others say things you disagree with, got it.

You did understand in life that not everyone is going to agree with you right?

It's OK, no need to get your feelings hurt just because someone does not agree with everything you say

I hope you can finally find happiness in life and learn that it's OK for others to disagree with you.
It looks like you are trying to discount my words by erroneously attributing them to some projected emotionalism. Listen, it's up to you what you choose to receive or not receive. You can respond appropriately or not, all up to you.

Much love!

I even don't read the Bible!

Then you will be deceived if you aren't already.

God directed what He wants mankind to know to be put in to written form

Jesus said God's Word is Truth - John 17:17, and Jesus said the Holy Spirit would lead us in to ALL Truth - John 16:13



It looks like you are trying to discount my words by erroneously attributing them to some projected emotionalism. Listen, it's up to you what you choose to receive or not receive. You can respond appropriately or not, all up to you.

I surely hope you can finally find happiness in life and learn that it's OK for others to disagree with you but not with the Lord.

when I read Christians talkings I imagine the same "spirit" in the Nicene Council and can these people choose what scriptures are from God and which are not? I found God and He gives enough guidance. Anybody want to listen to me?

Christians do not often disagree about what scriptures are from God. But people can look at the same scripture and see different meanings to the same words.

What passages in God's Word taught you how to become born again?
It will be multiple short phrases -
The text spoke about self-denial, hatred of sin, following Jesus, loving God above all, waiting for the Holy Spirit in response, the fruits of the Holy Spirit, the pure in heart seeing God, not all being His—needing to be more serious, sin no longer having power, and so on. This was base for me. I might forgot something.

I did what Jesus suggested. I alined with the Holy Spirit, liberated from sins, and "drink life water". Isn't it enough?
Jesus said you have to be born again. The Bible tells us that sin leaves us spiritually dead, and unable to know God, or serve Him, or please Him. Many think that they do know God, but are mistaken.

Why is there so many disagreements between christians?
For many reasons, really.
Why are you still digging to the Bible, if you already believe in God and Jesus? What are you all looking for? Is this important how you imagine relationship between God - Jesus - Holy Spirit?
I'd just have to say that my knowing my Creator is a fully engaging relationship, and part of that is this matter of a Book of Books, through which God speaks. The thing is . . . when you are actually baptized into Jesus Christ, and not aligned with the Holy Spirit, (I don't know what that means) but actually indwelt by the Holy Spirit, your spiritual understanding opens, because God opens it, and you will have a fully different idea about the Bible, I promise you!

He speaks through it amazingly! Yes, He could simply leave all His communication to us directly without the use of a book, but He chose to include the Book, and for me, the Bible is an amazing and vibrant part of life.

Much love!

The Bible teaches that every one of us have fallen into sin, and are unable to know God, or to live with Him after this life ends. And it teaches that Jesus gave His body in death as an offering that would rescue us from our spiritual death (that we cannot know God).

The Bible tells us that as many as receive Jesus, believing in His Name, that God gives them rebirth, not born from man, but born from God Himself. We are recreated, inside, and are new people.

It's not that we learn the right things, or get more serious about our lives, or any of these things. Being dead in sin, we need to agree with God about our condition, because He's telling us the truth. We have to accept that truth, that we need Him, or we are lost. But if we believe His promise to rescue us from this death, and that we can live forever with Him, and we want to let go of all that's in this world, except what He chooses to give us, so we can know Him and be with Him, He gives a new live that flows from His own being.

Much love!

None of that indicates what you did specifically to become saved.

If you don't read the Bible as you stated earlier, how do you know you are saved?

What call to action from God's Word are you basing your faith upon?
