Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecc. 12:13



Speaks for itself.

This is where we differ. In how we view this verse. I view verses like this from God as such that He knows we will never be able to live up to them. A mirror of our souls if you would.



To show us our bankrupcy and our need for a redeemer. Why else begin animal sacrifice for the covering of the peoples trangressions. As in the beginning with Adam and Eve.



Now as we allow God to live through us we become more eqquped to live this out, but it is God in us and not we our selves.



This is where we differ seemingly you and I. This is why we have no agreement together.



You see it as something to obtain, right?

Amen, TBK. Keep God's commandments, not from a legalistic view of his law to score holy points, but from the realization through wisdom that it is a translation of the divine principles of Jesus' own righteous character, and summarized in:



"What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."



"If ye love me, keep my commandments"

Brother Grace, I never said I was master of unity. I know it is the heart and mind of God that we would find unity together.



I dont know how to find unity with you guys. Do you know how to find unity with me?



We both read and believe the scripture. I know TBK desires for unity as well else he wouldnt be so fervent in proclaiming the truth.



I know he wants everyone here to live and walk according to God and find unity in fellowship over the things of God just as do I and mark and Jason and MsMarvel and you and so on and so on.



We are all here because we desire to be Gods messanger's. We desire to bring unity to the church. We desire for health of the body. We desire to extend love to our fellow brothers and sisters.



Meaning in this advice site sharing our thoughts and the thoughts of God.



So the only place I see where we can find unity is believing we are all here with genuine and good motives toward oneanother.



I believe your motives are good, I believe Truths motives are good, I believe val and marks and marvels are all good.

You do realize that he barely typed a word of his own? You're asking me how we gain unity? I'd say stop being so hypocritical. Stop claiming that we show up in threads just to antagonize you and then turning right around and doing it yourself. Stop not keeping your word as in the submission thread.

One would do well to note that LTM immediately went the way of causing a division.

Discredit me all you like. I dont need credit



1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

LTM, There isn't a conspiracy to discredit you. I think Grace and I are both trying to encourage you to RAISE THE STANDARD!
