    The Teachings of Jesus (TOJ)

    Righteousness, which we have from Christ, is with love for others, which is demonstrated. Jesus Christ showed the example for this, and taught for this, and the fruits of the Spirit for believers to grow in really includes this. About the end and catastrophes, civilization will collapse, Jesus...

    What is a church?

    I never use the phrase 'the church of America'. There are all real believers, who are in Christ, generally, and being divided by political states is not meaningful before God. And there are local congregations that include believers, though false believers may be included with them easily, these...

    The Road to Emmaus

    Psalm 45:6-7 Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows. Shown in Hebrews 1:8 it is Jesus, who is...

    Difference between Baptized with the Holy Ghost and being FILLED with the Holy Ghost vs

    It seems disagreement is not from being pentecostal, or charismatic. But no, with being saved there is not automatic production of the spiritual fruit, that is obvious to me from seeing others. Spiritual fruit, which should come as this is the main evidence of being sealed in our salvation...

    Would you ever eat...?

    A good variety of what is edible for food from plants is the healthiest for us, I see it is good to eat from as many as is reasonably possible to do, I try this approach. So I would not say I would not eat from those, except for what is too spicy for me, but there would probably be a way to use...

    Would you ever eat...?

    I will use cayenne pepper I shake out of the bottle for my cooked meals, I did hear there are benefits to our well-being from that. Many of my choices involve what is benefitting well-being. That sauce I make with La Victoria medium salsa that I really like is with about an equal amount of...

    Difference between Baptized with the Holy Ghost and being FILLED with the Holy Ghost vs

    It should be seen by all believers that every believer, being in Christ, is baptized with the Holy Spirit. To be filled with the Holy Spirit would be submitting fully to God and not making exception to any of it. This is what having the fruits of Spirit involves. We should grow with those. With...

    What is a church?

    Alright. Church generally mentioned in the Bible, ecclesia, is referring to a local assembly of believers. If we mean the whole body of believers it is better to say that, or the body of Christ, for being clear. Yet as you mentioned there is the church in heaven, the bride of Christ, so that...

    The church, Paul agrees, Post Tribulation.

    Read Revelation 18, carefully seeing details. Then read Isaiah 24, carefully seeing details. I can't do that for you for you to see. I have already been seeing it. If you do this, I expect you will see the parallels that I figured out are about the same thing that will happen.

    I gave up on finding a mate.

    Little attention in textual discussion about finding a suitable mate is given to the caveat that more attractive individuals according to cultural standards in the society they are in have more success, and the converse of that is that those not at all so attractive according to those standards...

    What does Jesus look like according to the Bible?

    It is going to be a revelation to us how Jesus appears when Jesus returns, which will happen according to his promise. It is sure that when Jesus was in this world appearing to those who were descendents of Israel, he was not a white man. None would have even been known of, there. Romans later...

    I gave up on finding a mate.

    God is not willing that any just perish but there should be repentance, that there will be faith for salvation that is provided. There are those without any repentance, enough, Esau is such an example. He was not without opportunity for that needed repentance.

    What does Jesus look like according to the Bible?

    There are details to the appearance Jesus had, that we cannot know in any case, while what we should already know about Jesus is clearly revealed for us. We will know more of those details when Jesus returns, which should happen as Jesus said it would.

    I gave up on finding a mate.

    You might give up. But don't, if you do not have to. When I could I tried, and eventually being frustrated, after a long time being single again, decided I was trying too hard, and didn't, not knowing what I was waiting for but already being older. Now, it might be too late.

    Works and Salvation

    Repentance is essential, with which there is faith when we respond to God to turn from sinful living without God. Then as we would grow there are then or sometime not so long after spiritual works, that correspond to spiritual fruit we are to have, coming from those, with love, joy, peace...

    The church, Paul agrees, Post Tribulation.

    I am a millenialist too. Christ will be here again with Christ's rule over the earth, for a thousand years or about a thousand years, at least. The final rebellion means the time for the new earth is ready, for creation that yet now groans for this with revealing of the redemption, and the...

    Would you ever eat...?

    I won't want the hotter spicy peppers. But the medium ones, or the medium salsa that uses capsicum peppers, are really desirable, besides being healthy in ways they do flavor up meals nicely, in the right small amount. I made a very special sauce using the medium salsa, with just a few other...

    Would you ever eat...?

    No, I won't eat most of the things suggested, though I see there are things that get suggested, which I have had. But I am eating what is much healthier, that most would not, which I yet really like, I am benefitting from it.

    I don't mind while I see many are using Discord and I have, at least, a few interested readers, and I make sure I keep writing interesting as I continue with it, that might hold the interest of some others. I use Wattpad too, with other sample writing, and I use WordPress too. Nothing was...
