What is the Apostolic community doing?
 
What is the apostolic community doing to combat injustice in our world? What is the apostolic community doing to help people struggling in poverty? What about racial discrimination? What about classism? There is so much discrimination and prejudice in the world I am curious to know what the apostolic community is going to fight these evils.

The Apostolic Community is spreading the gospel.
The Gospel has the power to fix all these problems and many more.

"Except a man be born again, he cannot SEE..."

Are you asking because you cannot SEE what the Church is doing?

is it?

the gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven

Re: What is the Apostolic community doing?
 
11Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not based on human thought. 12For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it...

...I did not immediately consult with anyone. 17I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me

20Now I am not lying in what I write to you. God is my witness.

22I remained personally unknown to the Judean churches in Christ

I think when Bernie told his supporters to vote for Hillary he threw a fly in that ointment.

Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.

Re: What is the Apostolic community doing?
 
amen to the second statement, and i suggest that you heed Paul in ignoring what some group thinks is actually the Gospel, and seek your own salvation, with fear and trembling, ergo the first statement is just some groupthink opinion that sounds good and makes some people happy, for now, maybe.

I note no posts have been made witnessing the fruit of the Apostolic community, wadr. Sister Alvear your only hope?

We have been deceived into thinking we are not really obligated to measure up to your standards. Do forgive us in your most merciful judgments, O Wrathful Deity of the Bardo.

hmm, i would say you describe "convicted" to me, rather than "condemned" :lol
after all, my standards are "i do not know."

Yes, you do know so little about so much.

Rom 6:3....Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?


I guess he doesn't know.

No Muslim is commanded to be baptized into Jesus'name.

Muslims perform wudhu washing feet, hands, and face, before prayer. But that is about it.

All Muslims are lost.

Let your sin be upon your own heads then, and keep fooling yourselves by breaking off the fight when it becomes so obvious that you are in error, just to start another hate thread on the same subject, after several of your respected peers have counseled otherwise. Show us again how you have grasped baptized into His death. I merely ask that God judge between you and me now, amen.

We are not called to save the world, but lead people to be saved from the world. The Church isn't to right all the injustices of the world. No matter what the eschatological beliefs presented here on AFF, I think we can all agree on the judgement seat of Christ. People have a lot bigger problems then some of these things listed, but they need salvation to their souls.

You don't want Muslims in hell, or Catholics? But anyone tell you that you are wrong, you vote to toss them into a lake of fire. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Breaking off? That's funny, I can't remember running in the other direction when I'm mocking your every move. :lol

Show us how we are NOT.

For a guy who doesn't want to judge anyone lost you sure like handing tickets out to hell.

but this deliberately makes it about them again, when it is about the believer who thinks they are a Christian and yet judges foreigners.

well that was not for you, EB; you have never engaged. Mocking is breaking off, so to speak.

i am called to this when "Judge yourselves" is violated, and being taught as Christian, when it obviously is not. You are welcome to try and make a case for "Judge others, do not judge yourselves," and we can go from there, or i have many places now where the discussion has been forfeited by that side, if you want to save time, as i am just going to lead you right back into one of them, all of them :lol
