Who is my brother?

James 4:11 Speak NOT evil of one another,brethern. He that SPEAKETH EVIL OF his brother,and judgeth his brother,speakers evil of the law,and judgeth the law: ( THE LAW of Jesus love.....IMO) but if thou judge the law,thou art NOT A DOER of the law,but a judge.
1 Jn.3:12 Not as Cain,who was of that wicked one,and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his OWN WORKS WERE EVIL,and his brothers righteous

Jesus said those that do the will of God are his brother, sister & mother...
On phone so can't give Scripture

Amen, thats right, so we must be doers of God's will and not deceive ourselves, we are to be making disciples and seeking God's will as his holy saints, to destroy the works of the devil and bring God's will about in a wicked world under his holy eternal wrath.

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

This means warfare and cross bearing and marching forward.

you mean I cant gossip about my siblings anymore? thats a tall order. I wont have a common topic

I'm not talking cliques,I'm saying true brothers and sisters in Christ!

Observing some of the post I've read there are many who say they are saved by God's grace but they don't speak as such!

There is little provoking to love,more provoking to anger,doubt and bitterness!

We are to mark those among us that walk contrary to Jesus's command to love and shake the dust from our feet!

It is not a matter of who is right or wrong in their doctrinal beliefs!I

IT IS A MATTER OF WHO IS ABIDING IN CHRIST,WHO IS FOLLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT,WHO HAS JESUS'S LOVE ON DISPLAY IN THEIR WORDS AND ACTIONS!

I hear you IFH.
I worship you !
Oops I mean I worship God.
And you are his fave instrument...

I am nothing except His servant!

I see the hurt ,doubt,and pain expressed by some that come through here!

I would that all be followers of my Beloved Jesus!

This is the IMPORTANCE of living for Him!

so Im not royal blue after all.

Nope! You are the same as everyone else birthed since creation!
GOD LOOKS AT EVERY HEART!💖💖💖💖💖

I think I have a heart of gold. Well I feel heavy and lethargic. Its weighing me down.

You ,my friend need to quit hiding .............
God wants us to have a pure heart!
I see your heart of gold even though you hide!

interesting comment IFH. im not hiding on here am I?
in real life you mean?

Are you some type of Christian mystic, IFOLLOWHIM? how do you know that anyway?
Did God tell you that he needs to stop hiding? or are you being a nut-head christian?

Don't trust your senses, walk by faith! Don't become a christian mystic!

BTW morefaithrequired is a dead catholic, the only thing he needs to do is believe on Jesus Christ to be saved, only then does he have any light, only then can he not hide!

Prime example of what this OP is speaking about. Its comments like these that show where your heart is at. Criticizing, putting others down, insults and division. Your own mouth made yourself the example of said topic. Learn to bridle that mouth of yours. Smells like venom yet has little sting.

If you yourself like to critique others dont think that you yourself are without fault. We all fall short in one way or another. Lets encourage one another and walk in love. Constructive criticism rather than belittlement and offenses.

Proverbs 27:19 As a face is reflected in water,
so the heart reflects the real person.

the number of haters are growing. not just my catholicism. young gals here are getting sick of my wit.
i need to follow IFHs good example.

What is catholicism? Enlighten me if you may? ive never gone to Catholic churches. Im opposed to the Catholic faith. If you wish to have a civil discussion id love to hear about it..

Well, ive seen peoples lives ruined because of these things, so i thinks its loving to point out to Christians to not be mystics but to walk by faith and being loving requires the use of Judgement, the bible warns against an evil judgment and hypocritical judgment, it doesn't destroy judgment itself though, John 7:24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

Judgment can be a good thing, not always something bad or hateful or unloving.

But in saying this, im not putting you down, i will be careful as you said and God hates evil and hypocrital judgment, i am with you on that, i believe what i wrote is not EVIL but good and loving though.

So i understand your comment, will be careful, thanks for that

see blogs section
"why i am a catholic" but there are several hate posts there unfort.

You hide behind glib humour,but that's ok.
I can see it keeps you from being hurt by others attitudes,words and judgments!
I understand.........that's why I have an ignore list....lol
I see one below you about to go there!
I cannot abide the lack of Jesus's love in some who claim grace and faith!
