6 years ago • May 27, 2020 • by ourCOG

Many think this is hard. The world misjudge this as fanaticism and a fundamentalist attitude.
Let me tell you who do not understand the word ‘biblical’ means. To be biblical means to be TRUTHFUL from the heart. To obey God’s commandment to be true to His Word. To act exactly like JESUS CHRIST.
Because we know being positive or popular, you need not be truthful. Someone can lie and be nice outside. But we can be nice and be truthful when live a life based on TRUTH. A Christian life is totally different from a wordly life. Unfortunately, most Christians today aren’t living like this. There is no TRUTH in their life. They are hypocrites.

But a few souls saved by the Grace and mercy of God, striving hard to live this BIBLICAL LIFE at any cost. They know the real cost of TRUTH. Being truthful is very hard these days but when it is an act of obedience to God, everything is possible.
Let’s live a biblical life.
Amen.

    Can’t we just be all 4?

    Billy Graham did a pretty good job of balancing it

    By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another and If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. So you see brothers one of the key points to the Christian life is love. The other is humility. These are the keys to the kingdom. To walk like Christ walked..in love, humbly and in meekness.

    that can be a loaded statement….biblical can mean anything that is written in the bible and that includes all the bad things like murder and rape and slavery… some of the bible is historical, but not to be repeated since the bad and evil events are recorded as well as the good events. david did good things and bad things. there is also poetry in the bible and some things that contradict and then there are all those laws meant for israel. and of course those who think patriarchy should be followed because it is “biblical” but is it descriptive or prescriptive? so no, i think we should be christ-like but not necessarily “biblical”.

    Almost ALL of the Bible says to be graceful, hospitable, and kind.

    It also says in Philippians 4:8 to be positive.

    Popular, though? Nope.

    Philippians 4:5
    Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

    Galatians 5:22-23
    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, [23] gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

    Ephesians 4:32
    And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

    1 Peter 3:15-16
    “but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence. Keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who abuse you for your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame.

    Colossians 4:6
    Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.”

    Matthew 5:43-44

    43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

    Luke 6:27-30

    27 “But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again.”

    Being nice & positive IS Biblical. So is being kind, gentle, peaceful, loving & good

    Popularity may well be a “knock on” effect of these behaviours. It doesn’t make it necessarily bad

    No…i disagree. No where does it say u need to be biblical.

    It does say that we are ambassadors and that we need to be wise.

    To be biblical is to be a fundamentalist.

    You can’t take the whole of the bible to be literal,

    There is figures of speech
    Euphemisms
    Symbolisms
    Parables
    Dreams and visions.
    Etc..
    All of which can not be taking at face value.

    As believers you are called to rightly divided the word of truth
