Subject: Why can we not just be Christians? |
Bible Note: Hi Angel, Romans 1:29 was probably the verse that Not Yet had in mind. Here are verses that I would tie together after reading the discussion on this thread. Romans 1:22, "Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible (God) for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." 2 Peter 3:14, "Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by (Him) in peace, spotless and blamesless," 2 Thess 3:4, "And we have confidence in the (Lord) concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command." John 4:25, "...(He) will declare all things to us." John 5:40, "and you are unwilling to come to (Me) that you may have life." John 6:65, "And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you that no one can come to (Me) unless it has been granted him from the Father." Ephesians 5:24, "But as the church is subject to (Christ), so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything." 2 Corinthians 5:20, "Therefore, we are ambassadors for (Christ)..." Colossians 2:6, "As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in (Him)," Colossians 3:1, "If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of (God). 2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth." Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of (God)," The parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
