What part of JESUS saying - He OBEYS The Father and only does what His Father tells Him and sees His Father doing - escapes you? What part of His praying to His Father escapes you? And His children do the same - we HEAR and OBEY.
Actions appropriate to God are not appropriate to us.
WOW! Catholics totally don't understand THE WORD. Not surprised though - the very reason I left the counterfeit church because they are not following Christ - to do as HE did. They are following 'man' because that's all they know and what they deem appropriate because they know man but don't know JESUS. Rome is a worldly organization and no one needs the Faith of God to follow 'man made teachings' as they aren't a 'new creation' but the old man of darkness.
Those who follow JESUS use the Faith of God which is supernatural and only they are pleasing to God. For without His supernatural Faith - no one is pleasing to God. The apostles used the faith of God but it took them 3 years to understand they needed to drop the natural sense when it came to understanding the things of God. And through all their ups and downs - they 'got it' and forever have we been blessed by The Word to know it as they were the first to 'do the things' as Jesus did.
Because we are all created in the image of God, God exists in all of us.
God created all - He is Our Creator. And then sin/evil entered in and only when one accepts JESUS as their Savior and believe it in their heart and confess it with their mouth that Jesus is their Lord - can they bring forth 'the image of God' - until then they are still the children of the dark.
We are called to love each other and to forgive every trespass and transgression as a demonstration of our love for the God within.
That is impossible for the children of the dark for they are nothing without Christ! They get easily offended when 'The Word' is spoken as satan runs when the name of Jesus is spoken - as Jesus is The Word. So evil/man had to counteract Jesus/The Word with 'another word' so as to deceive, to capture anyone he could with 'man made teachings' to oppose Jesus The Word.
God hates evil and man made teachings that are designed to void HIS WORD are evil. There would be no need for 'man made teachings' BUT to deceive! What 'man' calls anger is of a natural sense - 'man made believers' don't understand when God shows anger it is out of love and for them to step out of their darkness - but all they can say/think is that they are offended and that's satan hold on them - for they belong to him through man made teachings.
What do you think people do when attacked by satan with 'any of his deception' - do they say 'Dear Satan, would you please leave me alone, play nice'? Jesus gave His Spirit to HIS church (Acts) so now I USE that power of the Holy Spirit within and as Jesus was - so am I. And I will say to hypocrites that they are hypocrites any day, and deny anything that is not of God to leave. So if anyone is offended - I let them be offended as they are 'of another' and chose to be - for Jesus The Word came in the flesh to give them LIFE and they rejected HIM/The Word and were captured by satan for his word/'man made teachings'.
Jesus is Love, Jesus is The Word. NO ONE has the love of God within them without THE WORD written on their heart.
So 'man made believers' does not have the love of God within them and are easily offended when Truth is spoken as evil hates Truth. They need to tear out that evil by the roots and have no desire to be used by satan every again! Many have done it - as all things are possible to those that believe in GOD alone for only HE is Truth.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Eph 6:12
And satan and his spiritual forces of evil were/still are exposed - but JESUS THE WORD defeated evil/satan at The Cross.
And, now....
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave HIMSELF for me."
Thank You, JESUS! Praise God!
Please stop attempting to read my mind.
You are hoping by your own lights to decide the will of God. But the results from private interpretation do not suggest you will be successful. You say :”a,” the next fellow says “not a.” Do you live as holy a life as St. Francis, who was an ardent Catholic?
