Do you partake of the full Word of God? Or are you on a spiritual diet, taking only what suits you? Spreading only partial Word? God wants it all or nothing!

Howie r, where is the hatred in my question? Is there perhaps guilt in your heart?

jonjon2.0, I've traveled the world and found no joy like the Lord! So what am I missing?

eatonwrite, actually I'm non-denominational. My question is not judgemental. I'm merely asking you to describe your role in Christ. If you have guilt, I didn't put it there.

John 1:1-14 says that Jesus is the Wordof God made flesh. Jesus said of the bread, "Take eat, this is my body broken for you." Jesus talked about hunering and thirsting no more because of what He gives us. He also said there will be those who will kick us out of places and even kill us and think they are doing God's work or that they are doing what is best for humanity. (John 16:2) Jesus also says, "And these things they will do unto you because they have not know the Father nor me.
Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. Jesus is the same yesturday, today,a nd forever (Heb 13:8) The Lord does not change. (Malachi 3:6) All of the Word of God is inspired. (2 Timothy 3:16) All of it is to be taken in and made part of us.
I partake fo the full Word of God.

We Christians are all on a spiritual journey here on this side of Heaven. Our spiritual intake of His daily Bread depend much on our meaningful time spent with the God and our degree of relationship with Him. We all started our spiritual journey like babies taking only spiritual milk. As we mature in Him we begin to take in solid food. In this process of growing and in His Time we grow to be matured Christians in handling His Word out of obedience and love for our Lord Jesus Christ.

I prefer the term "Buffett Catholic." Going to Catholic school all my life (grade school, high school, and college), I've had my share of religion and theology courses and have decided that there are many portions of the faith that I do not agree with (the general degrading of our fellow human beings [aka homosexuals], the refusal of a woman's right to chose [birth control and abortion], and the abomination of sharing love in the most pure and natural way [pre-marital sex]), but there are still some that I do agree with (treating everyone as you would like to be treated, turning the other cheek, the 10 commandments). Also, I find it rude and wholely inappropriate to force my beliefs on others who have no interest in them.
I live my life as well as I can, but I will not be a slave to a book (written by men, mind you) that I don't agree with 100%.

The bible says line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little there a little,out of the mouth of two or three witnesses let everything be established. so if your asking if something has to be throughout the entire bible or agree with the overall theme for me to believe it. the answer is yes. man has corrupted the exact translation so we must rightly divide the word. we can not take one scripture and divise an entire doctrine out of it. how was that for someone who is non-religious

How clever! "Diet Chrsitian." Clever.
Are you personally a Lite Christian? Do you partake of the full Word of God, or only what your fundamentalist church tells you is ok to eat, then condemn others who do take part in the smogesbord that is God's grace?
Just wonder. One good food analogy deserves another.

GREAT QUESTION!!! Properly one of the best I have seen!!!
When I first got saved, I will admit that I was the "diet" Christian, picking and choosing what I wanted to do on His behalf, but God is soooooo good that He showed me His plan and His ways then pulled me out of the gutter of this world so that I could serve Him, calorie free :-)
Thanks for the reminder (again) of how wonderful living for Him can be!!!!!!!!

I have to say we can't learn all of it at once, otherwise we needn't be here & would have nothing to learn & would be perfect. I can't love evil, I can't always love my enemies who happen to be evil, I don't know....
But I do agree with accepting & upholidng all of God's words, & not adapting or changing them as suits us.

That is your interpretation, no less than Islam saying all non believers should either convert or die. Our Lord gave us free will and True Christians will be known by their fruits.
