    "all the things we used to do in church, become things we do as the church". Thank you Jesus for this message!

    This was a good startup video for those who are new to the church, Christianity, and the Holy Bible. For those of us who's viewed this video (and anything else were a comment can be added), why would you automatically jump to a negative response? It's so easy for people to accept sin and negative things. Why not switch our thinking on a daily basis to positive thinking?

    It is amazing that God chooses to use those of us who follow Christ (the Church) to spread the news of forgiveness and reconciliation with the lost. I must confess that the Church hasn't always communicated the love of Christ effectively ... but I want to. Please be patient with me as I learn to love God and love people.

  • @ShaneTheDisciple
    @ShaneTheDisciple Před 11 lety +1

    OK I gotcha now. In that, I totally agree with you! Today in the modern church in America, the "me gospel", as I call it, is VERY popular. Yes, Christ is the head of the church, and HE should be the focus. Here's an example. At my church, our written motto is "All about Jesus". Conversely, there is a church a few miles from here, and they literally tell people all the time that "it's all about YOU!" How sick. I've been there twice. The pre-service pep talk guy gets up and says that.

    @missevelyndejesus Před 12 lety

    @theaddchronicles Think of it this way "To PlugIn" is to go through life with a support system, by having a group of believers who you get to know and who gets to know you, it's not so much about DOING something of going through a bunch of RULES, It's about sharing your RELATIONSHIP with God with others who have a relationship with God.

  • @mybigbeak
    @mybigbeak Před 13 lety +10

    Because God lives in community; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, He wants to share that aspect of His nature with us; hence the Church; His spiritual body comprised of all true believers in Jesus Christ.

    Whats not non-sense is living your life for God through Jesus Chris and passing that on to others so they can come to know Christ as well. In essence, THAT is the great commission that Christ spoke about to the apostles before he returned to Heaven to prepare it for us.

      The church is where "we" ignore millions of innocent children dying of AIDS and/or starvation, while praising a god who doesn't give a shit about them. Where "we" celebrate a book that condones slavery, incest, infanticide and murder (and so on).

  • @Gonipede
    @Gonipede Před 10 lety

    We are all children of God and therefore our propensity to "sin" cannot be blamed on ourselves. The mysteries of the spirit are deep but we won't understand them by fixating on a point in history 2000 years ago or believing we are born into sin. We are born beautiful, thanks to God.

  • @sleepersown
    @sleepersown Před 12 lety

    @Zsavage1 Here's my questions to you. Who wrote those ideals, what were their backgrounds, and what made you come to the conclusion that those theories were infallibly correct ? Also, if they were written before JESUS, how is it a comparison of HIM ? Have you heard Carl Sagan explain our limited understanding based on our limited scientific understanding of our reality ? The concept of a 2D reality vs a 3D one ?

    Influence in the body of Christ is a main problem(or concluding), then you are completely correct, and I can't say don't judge because scripture tells us that judgement starts there and we have to give account to what we do. There is nothing wrong with letting God use you to help others discern as long as you are rightly aligned in him) but they are not the only issue, though the hierachy system is a + if it ain't promoting truth, your better check the fruit they are bearing)

    @hopeseeker97 Před 5 lety

    The Church is you if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. He is the head and we are the body. We share His gospel. We hold to THE faith that He taught and gave His apostles. We come together to hear the Word of God and to love and encourage one another in THE faith. It is not about programs and activities. We pray for others and spread the good news! When one member hurts...we all hurt and come alongside to lift that member up. Bearing one another's burdens.

    This describes my church here on the Redwoods Coast of Northern California. Like many other Calvary Chapels, we fuel up at church on the Word and refresh contacts and needs...then go out as individuals to minister in our little worlds. We do bring strangers into church, but our primary aim is to bring them to Christ by walking the life as a believer who serves others as unto God.

    Bascially, the Anthropic Principle (which is accepted throughout the scientific community) says that because of all the complexities of our atmosphere, biological systems, and life itself (especially humans who can reason) makes it nearly impossible for life to exist outside of some "intervention" by a "higher power".
    The ratio is : 1 to infinity minus 1 (since nothing is ever going to be "impossible") that life happened "by chance"

    Christ is the head of the church but it takes more than just the head to make anything come to life. You personalty as taught by Christ need to seek oneness which is the alignment of spirit, body, and soul which is your trinity. This is the yellow brick road as I call it or the golden carpet which is laid out at the doorstep of the Lord for all are welcome if they reach it. Christ is here and now and is making way for the journey to reach that carpet for all. Love Christ!

    you can think it that way.. but i think the vid's message is that God's love reaches even to the individual level.. He doesn't just love all of us as a group and stops there.. that is just like a president saying 'i love all my people!'.. but does he really? show him a random citizen and probably he won't even know who that person is.. but God's love is reaches beyond the community level and into the personal level. i guess that's the point of this vid.. :)

    @gottadosomething Před 13 lety

    @blushrush08 You're right, it would be great if Christians practiced what they preached. The thing is, being Christian doesn't make someone perfect or better. In fact, quite the opposite. It's the recognition that we'll never be good enough, we'll always be messed up and screwing up and quite often, we'll be hypocritical. The amazing thing is that grace gives us forgiveness. Repentance helps us try to strive for that higher standard, though we'll never reach it. Grace bridges that gap

    @Nephtali1981 Před 14 lety +10

    "Keeping the commandments is part of redemption" My bro, with all due respect. The only one who redemmed us, paid the price for us is Christ. In fact, the only one who could keep those commandements perfectly was Christ. We are saved through him, not by works so that no one can boast. Through being saved, good works come out by themselves so that once again HE (Yahweh) is glorified. Any good work that comes out of us if because of him. His glory, his salvation, his perfect work.
