Much easier to read Joelel

How about this, do you preach it too ?This is the only way a person can live the life.The preachers I hear say you can't think holy.

Our thoughts,1 Cor.13:4: Charity (perfected Love)suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5: Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

2 Cor.10:3: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Philp.4:8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.9: Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Phip.2:5: Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Eph.4:21: If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:22: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;23: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness

Obey them that hath the rule over you. But who has the rule over us? Those who have been appointed or elected and under whose jurisdiction you sit!

But no. It can't be that simple, can it?

Well, if I have not appointed or elected anyone or sit under anyone, then I am home free, eh?

Who has God placed over the members of his own body besides our Lord Jesus?

Does God's body have multiple, or in some sort of corporate format, hierarchal delegated headships?

If my own body functions perfectly with one head governing many members, why would God's own body need multiple heads to affect its operation?

I believe that tabernacle of God is no longer a building, but rather, is now a body.
