No, I dont assume everyone subscribes to Hebrews13:1 ... Not by a long shot.
And ignoring or being indifferent to a brother or sister in Christ IS the anti-thesis of Hebrews13:1.
I just thought I'd post an important verse in an OP just to lay it out there and see what, if any, responses it...
What are you implying by stray?
And what do you mean by unaffiliated?
Unaffiliated with what?
Are you assuming the church was institutionalized in the first century?
Im guessing there wasnt a membership card to fill out or anything, and there may have been many ppl that heard about Jesus and got...
Yes, and thank you.
My first thread not of a Newcomers nature, and yours was my first reply. Thank you very much.
I was going to ask in the OP, 'Who do you think this verse was written to' but I thought I'd just leave it intact.
Ignoring and indifference toward a brother or sister in Christ...
You ask vague questions all the time, and you pose them and your replies as if youre a schoolmarm giving a test or something, not someone genuinely seeking answers.
Ppl try to get you to be more specific so they can give their answers, and you either throw a hissy-fit or ignore them, as is so...
If by 'the church' you mean 'believers in Jesus, the body of Christ, the born-again, the saved' ... Then I would say they believed the Good News.

Dear heavenly Father, please bless and protect Ruths brothers with your presence and be their shelter and refuge and strength.
Please bless Ruth with your peace and assurance that you love her and will never leave her or forsake her, and even tho we dont always understand how things are being...
I love the RomanCathoLICS. I have many friends and family members that are in that denomination. At least one I know is saved.
There's a difference between loving a person, and not loving, or even hating a doctrine, or a particular teaching or practice.
I pointed that out in an earlier post...
United Church of Christ Statement of Faith—original version
We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father, and to his deeds we testify:
He calls the worlds into being, creates man in his own image and sets before him the ways of life and death.

Hi, Pedrito ... Tell Pedrito I said Hi.
I'm not too up on the creeds and formalized religion, but isnt their one that talks about being 'saved from aimlessness and sin?'
Yes , I know what it means, lol, I meant I didnt know what SHE meant by it in that spot. Never know, It could been anything. Ive learned not to assume, lol ;D
I disagree very much, but I guess we have a diff definition of abuse, also I think maybe theres a case of 'I can dish it out but not take it' syndrome? If you try to handle things like christians and men, well, nm, dont bother.
Meanwhile, it's astonishing to me how many ppl cant seem to...
Ahh, yes, good observation, and that I do apologize for, I honestly wanted to say that the first line (before the copy/paste) was good, and I failed to say that, but yes, dont doubt. Yes yes, God will finish what He started. THATS ETERNAL SECURITY...THATS O S A S!
I'm not sure what the 'dont...
What the....?
nm, I dont want to know!
(I saw it before the edit, then I was typing)
And whats with all the Sorry MC's?
No offense, you know we're brothers, but does anyone read around here?
Btw, just a reminder...Grovelling aint christian!
It might be a RC practice, which I saw up close and...
Oh man oh man oh man.
My heart is breaking again and again.
Honestly, I dont understand, unless this is just an attempt by someone I love and care about very much to hurt me.
I'm getting more and more convinced that if I preached fear and look out, she'd be preaching osas better than Jesus...
