Speaking ill of someone is unwholesome talk. Slander is speaking untruth about someone. Its sad but more devastating when it is coming from a Christian Brother or Sister. Prevent it by letting God's Holy Spirit take it away.

Anger is an emotion. Our heavenly Father got angry (the flood) and Jesus got angry (turned over the money changers table in the temple). Anger is a sin if we act on it and can be dangerous. Prayer is the key. We as true Christians are to have self-control.

Not living by Bible principles. Walking in the way of unrighteousness. For many it is hard to change and easy to live as they want. Satan has some people blinded and they feel that they can live without God in their life.

All focus and praise in on the minister and not God. Hinder people from getting spiritually fed. Divides the community. Even makes and bring reproach on Our Creator and His Son. Pastors: are suppose to lead his flock by true Bible teachings and not his own opinion or thoughts or interpretations. Teachers: Are to teach accurate knowledge from the scriptures and not their own ideas, opinions, and thoughts.

All these are blessings and gifts from God and Jesus Christ. We are not to judge who has the spiritual gifts or not but if the congregation is troubled and divided then its time to go to the Elders because having a congregation divided is unclean and God's Holy Spirit has been taken away from the congregation until whatever serious matter is going on is cleaned up.

By being in unity, speaking and teaching the truth (accurately), have the love of God and Jesus Christ in our hearts and having God's Holy Spirit.

Some missionaries, teachers, prophets, shepherds and apostles. Our congregations and regional groupings need FAITH. False prophets are deceitful in their deeds, works and endurance.

Spiritual gifts are measured out by Jesus Christ. Natural talents and spiritual gifts are different. Natural God given talent is like someone has the natural ability to play and instrument, sing, etc. A spiritual gift is blessing received from being obedient. Our spiritual gift (reward) is everlasting life without sickness, hunger, violence, wars, proverty, etc.

We must endeavor each and everyday. Bond of peace is unity and love. When we argue and cause dissension we are not being peaceable and therefore not unified.

If we do not have patience and humility we are not imitating God's and Jesus' qualities. We put shame on Jesus Christ. We must always display love, kindness, humility and be self-sacrificing.

Behave in a manner worthy of the good news about Jesus Christ. Listening (hearing his voice) about what is required of us and hear his commandments.

We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ so we gain joint seating arrangements with Him.

point 1 question. Love and mercy. point 2 question. Alive and saved.

Point 1 question. By doing what feels good to the flesh. Point 2 question. By being self pleasing. Point 3 question. Can blame us because we know we are imperfect and our parents sinned and we were born into sin so by not obeying God's principles we are to blame when you do what is not right in God's eyes.

They are dead spiritually. We (believers) walk in righteousness and they (non-believers) walk in unrighteousness.

We will miss out on blessings. By not sharing the good news of the Bible scriptures and of the Kingdom, helping others to gain accurate knowledge of the Bible.

Because we do not have the authority, only God has that authority. To show headship, Jesus is under God even though he's King. Powerless feeling because a lack of faith assuring them that if they practice Bible principles they will have hope and that they are not alone. Continue to live by God's principles and make him rejoice and by doing those things, we can gain hope of everlasting life.

Can be powerless at times not having faith, not having holy spirit and because we are imperfect in a wicked system. Not having accurate knowledge, lack of faith and holy spirit. By practicing (living) by Bible principles.

No it would not affect my life now because tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Material things are just that material and can have the potential of not coming through but God's purpose and promises are guaranteed no matter what. Our faith and please God should be the most important priority and then everything else comes afterwards. Our fellowship will be wonderful, will be close and unified.

Hope of everlasting life. Will not have hope of resurrection to live on a perfect earth if we are not righteous. Should want to obey Bible principles because if we don't, there is no hope for everlasting life on a Paradise Earth. Non-believers do not know or understand that death is not the end.

End of term is reference to the Coming of God's Kingdom to be established.

To serve and praise him. Accept counsel and hope in Christ Jesus. As accepting counsel, we are the light showing fine works and giving glory to our Father in heaven.

Means Jesus Christ is King. Relates to creator by God's purpose being fulfilled. Bringing all mankind together. Extra Credit: Showing that when God's purpose is fulfilled, Jesus will turn headship back to God, all will be united on a new earth and new heavens.

Redeemed from slavery through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Life without the ransom would mean no hope for resurrection to a new earth (paradise). Basically, there would be no hope of the future.

God created our parents, Adam and Eve, Jesus is God's only begotten Son, we are part of that spiritual family and for us to truly belong since our parents died, God adopted each and every one of us so we would not be without a parent and we would have Jesus Christ as our Brother. This completes the spiritual family. It's encouraging because we will never be without a parent, in other words, we will never be . No matter what, we will always be able to turn to him, talk to him about anything. No human can grant blessings, no human has the power of resurrecting the dead and most of all God loves us no matter who we are, what we are, and God can't lie. No matter what God says, you know that it is the truth. You can't say that about humans, some will lie just to get what they want and some will lie just so they won't hurt your feelings but regardless a lie is a lie........there's no good lie and with God.......it is always the truth.
