2Co 11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my] folly: and indeed bear with me. Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
This is what I long for. The simplicity that is in Christ. That means it should be so easily known that there is no need to debate the finer points...for there ought to be no fine print in the gospel...
Full Version: ***back To Basics*** Kiss
yep i know what you mean and i often use this saying keep it simple stupid
i tend to avoid the spirit i see in some people and i sort of miss what i experianced when i was in the philippines early this year and i yern to live the simple life once my citazen ship is aproved for me to be a ful filapino citazen
since i have been back to Australia i have been getting rid of what i collected and just keeping the basics i no longer use my washing machaine i do what my fiancee does i wash my cloths by hand
my fiance is a filapino pastor and i told her if she were to see al the fuss i observe by the christians i know she would under stand why i am teling her it would be easy for me to surrender my Australian citazenship
i once use to long time ago have this judgmental spirit towards our leaders you can say god is dealing with this side of me and has given me a love for the members in my fiancee church and the filapino people
so you can say when i take off on the 1st of dec 2008 i am going to enjoy spending the time with my fiancee my in laws and some of the members i even get to see how they celebrate christmas and new years eve
most of our members have the basics like bed cooking utensals thats it but they greet you and welcome you into their home
no tv no radio no computer in the corner with some one typying away saying how bad their goverment is this is the life i want
1 timothy
3 as i urged you when i was going to Macedonia remain in Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any diffrent doctrine
4 nor to devote them selves to myths and endless genealogies which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith
6 certain persons by swerving from these have wandered away into vain discussion
7 desiring to be teachers of the law without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions
so as my pastor use to tell me when i was a young christian keep it simple stupid
God bless from damo

Larry,
Good points. But one thing that I have learned is to never ever take comm'on sense for granted. What is common sense for some may not be common sense for others. And since God is in total control perhaps our Lord means this for our own good? Perhaps we need to return to basic Christianity 101 before we can register into the class of Paul and his conversion. And yes so true; we need to learn small truths as though we were licking up milk before we can eat the whole meal of meat. First the drink than the meat. Makes sense to me. If to much meat is eaten by an unbeliever at one sitting the chance is that all the meat the newcomer has been fed has not been digested. And if that be the case your roomate will be winding up in bathroom tossing everthing he/she ate that day.

Common sense does not build upon the faith of Christ because there is nothing common to be made sense of.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Over months I have watched you report with great expectation that soon coming return to the Phillipines to be with your fiancee...and I am sure it is a humbe existence you will meet. I pray that God will expand your stakes there and ignite your ministry calling and leverage your ability to produce out of a sound heart and mind that glorious gospel which sets men free from servitude to want and lack and oppresion....Jesus came to set men free from all of the yokes and bondages. Your part will be a good part. And I ask the Lord to impart to you severally His gifts as He wills.
