I am concerned.
I am seeing many of our members falling into Satan's traps of doubt.
How do I know this? The Bible says we are known by our love. It is the LOVE of GOD in us that shines through us. It is a LOVE that overflows and is passed on to others.
Let me ask you this, are you and I showing the LOVE of GOD when we talk ugly to our fellow members and bring them into bondage because of our views? No need to answer, we each have to search our hearts and ask GOD to guide us always.
The Bible says that we are all sinners and fall short of the Glory of GOD...I am guilty. But JESUS SAVES. He saved me and many of you that come here to this forum.
The Christian community has gotten so far off course in the last few years that it is frightning. The church was a place of fellowship and love, and about bringing in the lost so that they could find JESUS waiting for them. Today we are concerned more with the doctrines of men, what one has in thier possesions who is who, instead of bringing one in to find JESUS waiting for them. Somehow we have gotten off track, and lost our way. When we get off track and lose our way. We cannot do the things that JESUS taught us.
What happened to, "be fisher's of men".
Time is getting short, and we have work to do for GOD. Let's put down the petty foolishness of men and put on the FULL ARMOUR OFGOD and be about the FATHER'S BUSINESS.

AMEN! I feel exactly the same way. This exact message is so on my heart. Love one another, build each other up in love, don't worry about arguing over man's interpretation. The most important thing is to love God first and then love each other, we are going to need each other.
I'm reminded about the old days. When a new farmer came to an area, all his neighbors would stop their work and gather together to build him a house and barn (the Amish still do this). That's the kind of love we need, positive love backed up with action.

I’ve been a member here for a few months and I can with all honesty say that I’ve been loved.
We sometimes hurt each other because we love God’s children and would prefer to see them suffer a little while rather then being deceived.
Oh sometimes we may even say things that ought not be said but in the end God has been faithful in giving us the victory, so I’m greatly encourage and blessed by being a member here.
