Everyone that claims that the Lord Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior, should be conforming to the "culture" of heaven and the character of the Lord.

This means that ALL other cultures should be cast off as filthy rags, specifically in EVERY detail where they are contrary to the "culture of heaven".

Sadly, many that are church "members" STILL have not become members of the heavenly kingdom, and thereby do not recognize that they are still trying to hold the reigns of their own lives instead of surrendering absolute control to the Lord.

By their actions, they deny Him as being their Lord, even at the same time as proclaiming Him to be their Lord.

Shalom,

Amen James. Well put. 

   James:   Everyone that claims that the Lord Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior, should be conforming to the "culture" of heaven and the character of the Lord.

   Paul:   Amen.  We need to deal with one another according to the hope in us.  I want for you exactly as I do for myself through every test and trail.  When I know my own frame((apart from Christ being my Lord in truth)) I am broken hearted as Romans 7 portrays.  Yet I know this to be the reality of every brother and sister in whatever measure they are not fully immersed in Christ, so by the grace of GOD I live that they may be as saved as I myself long to be. I think that is admonished to all of us in 1Cor 11:30-31  For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
