Fathers are needed. Good fathers, that is. Modern Western feminism has been doing a lot of damage to the family unit, by erasing the need for men and dads in the home.
If pastors, preachers, and church members don't practice how to love one another, or how to love thy neighbor, how will they ever know? Pastors, preachers, and church members can profess that they know God, but in works they can deny him. [ Titus 1:16 ] If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body, what does it profit? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being alone. [ James chapter 2 ] The brethren in Acts 4:32-35, did not lack anything, because distribution was made according as he had a need. If you want to find out if pastors, preachers, and church members love you, ask them for financial assistance, and you will know how much they love you? The question is, is the shepherd looking out for the sheep, or is the shepherd looking out for himself? Jesus warned his apostles, beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [ Matthew 7:15 ] John warned the brethren of false prophets. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [ 1 John 4:1 ] If pastors, preachers, and church members, don't love you with works, their faith is dead, being alone. [ James chapter 2 ] Pastors and preachers love to receive tithes and offerings, despite the fact that they have no authority from God, to receive tithes and offerings, because God ordained the tribe of Levi, to receive tithes and offerings from the children of Israel, according to the law. [ Hebrews 7:5 ] The apostles of Jesus, did not tithe under the law, because they were poor. Peter was a fisherman. And Paul was a tent maker. And If I'm correct, Matthew was a Levi, and under the Levitical law, he didn't have to tithe. The apostles of Jesus, did not receive tithes and offerings under the law, because they were not from the Levitical priesthood tribe of Israel. And if I'm correct, Matthew was a Levi, and he had a right to receive tithes and offerings from the children of Israel, according to the law. [ Hebrews 7:5 ] In the resurrection of dead, the sheep are going to inherit the kingdom, because Jesus said, they loved the brethren. [ Matthew 25:33-40 ] The goats are going into the lake of fire, because Jesus said, they didn't love the brethren. [ Matthew 25:41-46 ] Jesus said, many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devil's? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me you that work iniquity. [ Matthew 7:21:23 ] The priest, and the Levi, did not loved his neighbor. [ Luke 10:25-37 ] The commandments of God: LOVE GOD with good works. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR with good works. LOVE ONE ANOTHER with good works. LOVE YOUR ENEMIES with good works. In Jesus name.
Well the Bible says he is God SON, so I will go with that......If Jesus is God then WHO was he praying to ? ......If Jesus is God then why did he say "I am going back to MY GOD and MY FATHER ? So WHO is the God of Jesus, and what is his name, when you find the answer to that question then you will see the TRUTH behind WHO God is ! Jesus backed up that belief when in prayer to his heavenly father said,...”"This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John 17: 3. Notice how he calls his father the ONLY TRUE GOD! The first century Christians taught the same when they preached for example 1 Cor 15: 24-28 where we see in Vs 24 that Jesus has a GOD AND FATHER and that in Vs 28 he SUBJECTS himself to his God & Father! SOME do say however, that Jesus does address God as his God and his father because he was A MAN however one of the clearest scripture which shows that Jesus is NOT God is Rev 3:12 where we see Jesus as NOT a man but back in heaven: "The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. New International Version So WHO is the God Of Jesus, and what is his name ? You can see more Bible truths on JW9.) ORG
