I truly believe there is a lot of fear with ones...As Tammy said [hi Tammy *waves*] commitment is a scary thing...Especially when it involves faith...It's easier for many to ''trust'' and have ''faith'' in something they can see...Like an organization of men. *sigh*
You know Shelly i am not a fan of the apostle Paul...I disagree with the rules he bought in... All Jaheshua ever taught was love... There were no rules. I never understood why Paul said that the gifts of the ''spirit'' stopped with him...Why did they stop? What was the purpose for them to stop? Humankind has carried on for two thousand years since Paul was on the earth, so that makes no sense!
Are not the ''gifts'' of the spirit used to help ones? To show love to our fellow man as Jaheshua did while on the earth and still does from the spiritual realm...Are not the ''gifts'' used to take ones to Jaheshua and to build up the body??
Just my thoughts
Peace my sisters in Christ Mwah mwah mwah
