It's the truth. We have an entire forum of your postings which if any intelligent human being read them they would know I wasn't posting insults. I'm posting my clear observation of your personality. Unless you are bipolar or manic schizophrenic, what I posted is all you.

What? Maybe you should sit down and read some Larkin Rose. Because anarchism isn't early Quaker anything.

Like me? Did I write this?
Philippians 2:1-3. and
1 Corinthians 1:10.
No, the Apostle Paul understood we were all supposed to be on the same page. You see, if you aint the pitcher, then you won't play ball. But, if someone was stupid enough to put you in charge all hell would break loose.
What you paint as Christianity is not Biblical, but more of your humanistic convoluted interpretations of your own carnal mind. Where Christianity is just one big Hippy Love in where you are Moses David Berg resurrected.

Chris, that doesn't make sense. Everyone can do as they very well please. Not being accountable to anyone. You would be placed on the pay no mind list, and you wouldn't be permitted to interact me. Do you have any idea what you are talking about? EVER?

Bro, do you know how much you posted to us about your house church when you were pleased to attend? You made it out to be it, but as you revealed more and more to them you saw their true intent for the group. This is because you didn't let everyone know what on earth you really believed, they didn't have to change, because they were already wonkey. You slipped in, got comfortable and later realized they weren't going to change for any of your "new truth" Being a problem isn't a problem if a relationship (real bond) of fellowship. Where guys know each other, people can't live without each other. Then we will work it out with the brother who has the "new idea" through listening to how he presents the truth. The first guy who gets mad loses the argument. Because the mad is because he cannot defend. or refute the new information. Kicking out, or disfellowship, or even walking away isn't an option. They must all stick it out without falling out. That my boy isn't part of anarchism. If we don't agree, fine, you go back over to your hut, and have you self a time.

Oh, you mean in the land of Aquila and Dragons? Seriously? Dude, it is an oxymoron, the two don't go together. Christianity is communal it is governmental through eldership, and accountability.

Really? A guy sleeping with his father's wife was governmentally placed over to Satan
1 Corinthians 5:1,
1 Corinthians 5:5. A threefold eldership was also instructed to judicially shun a disobedient brother
Matthew 18:17. So, once again, you are clueless to Christian government.

That is because you are two dimensional, you only have stop and go. Anyone ever told you that they believe that your testimony is unbecoming a saint of God. That you and your girlfriend's behavior is not Christian, or the smoking of Marijuana conducive to a godly lifestyle. They are to just smile and wave, just allow you to grow in grace? No, they are to call you on it like Paul to Peter
Galatians 2:11. Or is that too masculine for you?

Oh, how sweet. Tucking you in bed at night, giving you a glass of warm pablum. When you puke it up, they sweetly spoon it back into your mouth?
Chris, you love a world where enabling the bad children rules. Just only when it effects someone else. If it is on your porch, then rules out the window, and OL Grandad gets bounced across the floor, and out the door.

That's funny, the Bible has people getting shunned, those who left are called antichrist. You sure you are ready to live Biblically? No, not you

Choose to grow a leaf that Jesus never smoked, or instructed anyone to use. Wine? Yes, cannabis no. But you can't even get that through your head, imagine the elders not agreeing with you? Oh, that is right, you would just leave. Bravo! Good job, you would quit, and do what? Move on to who? Oh, shopping for answers? Looking for those who will agree with you? Aquila, like I said, if Jesus preached, King David played his harp, and Paul took up the offering you still wouldn't do it. What a laugh.

I suggest reading Tolstoy's, The Kingdom of God Is Within You.

Suggest me reading Tolstoy? The guy who hated his wife so badly that he didn't want her at his funeral? Right on Chris, you need to wake up from your illusion.
