OF AN
ASSERTION!

The Catholic Church would rather Jesus Christ remain the VICTIM, instead of the VICTOR He is. Just as the members of that religion are VICTIMS, slaves to the authority of traditions and doctrines of men. And not VICTORIOUS through the FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST.
Yep. God is the only Father, Jesus is the only Master and everyone else is brethren. There are NO ‘religious hierarchy’ in HIS CHURCH.

NO LORDING IT OVER ANOTHER
ALL SERVANTS OF ONE ANOTHER
PREFERRING ONE ANOTHER.
John 6:53-58
53 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54 Whoever eats 19 my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
Christ seems to disagree with your assertion about the Eucharist.
"Yes, that's right -- all these fringe Pentecostal (except Assemblies of God), Baptist etc. groups have NOTHING to offer.
"Even the fire-worshippers from which you should escape, they have nothing to offer Christianity so we in Christ's One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church won't waste time with them when we can talk to the Traditional Lutherans, Anglicans etc."
Since it is always these groups that are said to have nothing to offer that are doing most of the offering in my neighboorhood (I mean the people who witness and try to win people to Christ are from among those groups) . . . .
Have you ever considered what it would be like if individual common Roman Catholics were to ever decide to go out and preach the Gospel and win people to Christ?
I'm going to guess that most of them would depart the (so-called) "One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church" within 30 days of personal evangelism efforts.

The train from Colon, Panama, brought several passengers to the village of Frijoles one Sunday morning. Many had heard of the miracles of God in this church and came for physical healing. One was an elderly woman known as Mama Mecha.
That morning Mama Mecha received Jesus as her Savior. After the service, the congregation went to the inlet of Gatun Lake, which is a short distance from the church, to baptize the new converts. Her testimony of her conversion that morning stirred many hearts.
As Mama Mecha came up out of the water, she lifted her hands in praise to the Lord, and suddenly she began to speak in another tongue. Standing in the crowd was a man from Spain. He had been an archeologist in Egypt for several years and also served as a Roman Catholic priest in Spain and Panama.
Late that afternoon, while on the train returning to Panama City, he said to missionary Arthur Edwards, "After her baptism, that elderly woman spoke in an ancient Egyptian language and quoted a psalm of praise from the Old Testament. There is no way she could even speak one word of that language which I learned in my work as an archeologist in Egypt. That had to be God."

Lord, I think you for giving me a prayer language. Let me use my gift to glorify you. . .
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS!
Christ set forth His Church with servants in place of glorified, set-apart priests and teachers. There is no hierarchy among believers... And what hierarchy is there is a matter of service, not authority.
In that service IS the authority.
You know, the handful of people I know to be a true, spirit-filled servants of God are self-deprecating in the face of honors being bestowed upon them.
And they are also the ones who speak with the most authority. It exudes from them as real power. Yet these are always humble and living quietly - with no pomp or circumstance.
They would be dismayed and embarrassed by any such honors. Every one of them would send such things on to the Father, or to Christ, where such things belong.
INDEED.
Got any idea what his point is? Why doesn’t he ask, “Do you preach Christ and Him crucified?”
AMEN!
Now why don't you bring that up when one of your own does it???
A Bible.
As opposed to
squeak...squeak...ding dong.."hello, I am here to talk to you about Jesus..just a moment...let me dig through my cart..here...here is the first point I would like to make..no..wait..it's in another book..let's see..looking...looking...(SLAM)...oh well, on to the next door"...squeak...squeak...
One wonders how it is for those that don’t see Him working in their lives. I would not trade that intimacy for all the cathedrals in the world.
INDEED.
BTW,
I wonder . . . how soon do you think the Anninais and Saphira incidents are going to dramatically increase?
I’ve been expecting that for some time . . . Not quite yet it seems . . . yet, I think it could break out most any day—probably with the next great push of Holy Spirit . . . in the midst of great revival in the midst of great chaos and suffering.
Pomp and circumstance and prancing about vain gloriously by some will be stopped very short very dramatically. NO MORE prancing about in pomp and circumstance for such individuals whether high and mighty or just perverse and contrary.
It goes in the circular file. If they wanted Truth, they would have it by now.
Thanks for sharing - I enjoyed reading every bit of it. You truly have a blessed blessed family and are a blessing to others.
AMEN! AMEN!
MOST WELCOME.
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS.
BTW, Y’all,
Joya and company should be arriving at I-HOP in Kansas City today for a week or so.
Please pray that God blesses their socks off!
