This looks clean enough!

Given
arcsina+arcsinb+arcsinc=π

Let
arcsina=A
arcsinb=B
arcsinc=C
hence:
a=sinA
b=sinB
c=sinC
Starting from the LHS of the required equation:
a√(1-a^2)+b√(1-b^2)+c√(1-c^2)
=sinA.√(1-sinA^2)+sinB√(1-B^2)+sinC√(1-sinC^2)
=sinA.cosA+sinB.cosB+sinC.cosC
=(1/2)sin2A+(1/2)sin2B+
(1/2)sin2C
=(1/2)(sin2A+sin2B+sin2C)
=(1/2)(2sin(A+B)cos(A-B) +sin2C)
but A+B+C=π
=(1/2)(2sin(π-C).cos(A-B)
+sin2C)
=(1/2)(2sin(C)cos(A-B)+sin2C)
=(1/2)(2sin(C)cos(A-B)+2sinC.cosC)
=sinC.(cos(A-B)+cosC)
=sinC.(cos(A-B)+cos(π-A-B))
=sinC.(2cos((π/2)-B)
cos(A-(π/2)))
=sinC.(2cos((π/2)-B)
cos((π/2)-A))
=sinC.(2sinB.sinA)
=2sinA.sinB.sinC
=2abc
which is the RHS of the equation.

Unless your definition of the word 'faith' is different from what the Bible gives us then your statements are out of line with scripture. 

One biblical definition of 'faith' is trust/confidence. So when you say: "Lazarus was the object of Faith and not the Subject..." my question is 'how?'

When you say also that: "Even Jesus ACTED! ...he cried with a loud voice... and didn't just sit down and look and expect the miracle to happen without any ACTION at all!" are you saying that ANY ACTION (which perhaps to you amounts to work) makes 'faith' effective; no matter what that action is - shouting, clapping, jumping, etc. ?

Lastly, for now, is God's grace based on his integrity or man's?
My bro, grin i laugh seriously @ your cheesy funny stance cheesy

Jesus said if you faith is as lil as a mustard seed you'll speak to the mountains to be removed and be cast into the sea and it'll be so. The speaker is the ACTIVATOR of FAITH, while the mountain is the OBJECT of FAITH! This analogy answers your first question!

Uzza an Israelite WORKED and got a DAMNING CONSEQUENCE while Obededom of Gath, a Philistine, WORKED and got ENOUGH BENEVOLENCE FROM GOD TO MAKE KING DAVID JEALOUS There are works and there are WORKS...no work based on logic and empirics will ACTIVATE faith but works based on the Inspiration of the HolyGhost ACTIVATE faith and by faith DRAW grace. This answers your second question!


On your third question: the giver of a gift is the person whose name and integrity is on the line! ...but no matter how sincere the giver is, if the receiver folds his arms and walks out on the giver he'll get nothing no matter how sincere, benevolent and loving the giver is

Christianity Etc › What Would You Have Done? by efficiencie(op): 1:12pm On Jan 23, 2015
I read this higly infuriating post, abridged it and present it here and with it is a question...As a Christian what would you have done if you were Amaka's shoes?

A beautiful 3rd year female student friend of
mine just told me this true story of hers in
university yesterday.
Before the ASUU strike she was having this
palava with a male lecturer from the
department of Law in Uniben, and it's kinda
hunting her cause when school resumes it's
still gonna come back in her face!
It was 3 weeks before ASUU strike, the lecturer
asked her for sex but she refused and also
insulted the man right there in his office.
The lecturer called her back the next day and
promised her that she won't graduate from the
school until she pays for a hotel where he
gonna have sex with her and after that she's
gonna pay him 50,000 naira!
In her words: "I thought he was joking,cause it
sounded so funny"
But since then, whenever she(Amaka) writes
his exam she fails woefully! She failed his exam
3 times before she decided to go confront him.
She got into his office and met other male
lecturers in there, she wanted to go back but
the man asked her to state her mission. She
complained and asked other lecturers to tell
him to stop failing her!
She was so surprised when the other lecturers
called her a 'fool' and asked her to do what
the main man asked. According to her, She was
lost at that moment...

Let me ask a question:
What did Lazarus 'ACT UPON' before he was raised to life?
Lazarus was the object of Faith and not the Subject... Lazarus wasn't the ACTIVATOR of Faith, Jesus was...and to whom the ACT of FAITH is credited GRACE is given. Even Jesus ACTED! ...he cried with a loud voice... and didn't just sit down and look and expect the miracle to happen without any ACTION at all!

Q1)Use Lagrange multiplier to find the values of x,y,z that minimises the objective function f(x,y,z) =11xy+14yz+15xz, subject to the constrain xyz=147840

Q2) A rectangular box open at the top is to have a volume of 32cm-cube , what must be the dimension of the box so that the total surface is maximum .
let the dimensions of the box be: l×b×h
Volume of cuboid:
v=lbh and v=32
Hence the constraint function is:
lbh=32
Total surface area (and objective function):
a=lb+2lh+2bh
The lagrange function is:
L=lb+2lh+2bh-λ(lbh-32)
Diff partially wrt l,b,h and λ and obtaining d FOCs
δL/δl=b+2h-λbh=0...1
δL/δb=l+2h-λlh=0...2
δL/δh=2l+2b-λlb=0...3
lbh-32=0...4
On solvin d 4 equatns we have that:

truthman: If so, are saying that man's MERIT (in this case,
a sinner's merit) is part of what saves
him? (Since you claim that what keeps faith
alive is works?).
Bro truthman no man, no matter how pious and acetic, is worthy of anything from above! When i say WORKS i do not mean the works of mere men rather i mean the MOTIONS of people (good, bad or ugly) driven by their belief in the WILL of the Father expressed by the WORD, Jesus Christ.

So in this light i believe we agree!

truthman: Again a clear understanding of James 2:17 -
"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is
dead, being alone. " - is this:
'Faith (i.e. Biblical truth that a person
knows or creed/spiritual principles that a
person knows), if it has no works (i.e. If it
is not applied: Not put into practice), is
dead (i.e. Produces no results, remains
stagnant, is useless), being by itself'
Bro your discussion above does not capture the degree of the seriousness of what happens when FAITH is without WORKS Faith is not just stagnant or useless... It is DEAD! without WORKS! (I hope you now know what i mean by WORKS)...So grace may abound for a lifetime but if faith isn't backed with INSPIRED WORKS then grace is out of reach!

Many Christians are killed by erroneous teachings... if the woman with the issue of blood had remained in her house FASTING and PRAYING she'll remain sick, if the prostitute hadn't broken the jar of perfume and anointed Jesus' feet she wouldn't have been saved, if Peter had remained in the boat he would'nt have walked on water, if Moses didnt stretch his rod the waters wouldn't have parted, if David hadn't used his sling Goliath wouldn't have been silenced and slaughtered, if Elijah hadn't rebuilt the altar and called on the LORD fire wouldn't have fallen, if Elisha hadn't smote the water with Elijah's mantle the waters wouldn't have parted, if Jesus hadn't mixed spittle with clay and smeared it on the eyes of that man born blind that man would never see...

You see, from the Prostitute to the Messiah they all had on thing in common... they supernaturally knew the will of the Father, by the Word of God, Jesus Christ, in their hearts and they ACTED UPON THE WORD

Again I say, there are works and there are WORKS... and Grace without works is DEAD

I do hope you noticed that James didn't say 'Grace without works is dead'; rather that 'Faith (i.e. Biblical truth that a person knows or creed/spiritual principles that a person knows), if it has no works (i.e. If it is not applied: Not put into practice), is dead (i.e. Produces no results, remains stagnant, is useless), being by itself'
God's grace is available to all. It is unearned. It is therefore unconditional. That is why Apistle Paul could say : "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; IF IT WERE, grace would no longer be grace" (Romans 11:6).

At the point of salvation, the faith anyone expresses is a non- meritorious action. It cannot be classified as 'works' otherwise that would mean that the 'works' of a sinner/unbeliever amounts to something before God.

James in his epistle is simply saying then that a Christian who knows scriptures but refuses to put it into practice or apply it, will be unfruitful and also putting himself up for God's discipline which could terminate his life in death.
isn't grace by faith as said by Paul:

Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

That means if faith is dead then grace is dead as well. ..and what keeps faith alive WORKS!

James 2:17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead,
being alone.


...Do you also want to argue with Bros Paul and James combined! The question you need to ask is: How are the 'works' of Romans 11:6 different from the 'WORKS' of James 2:17?

Given that:
arcsina+arcsinb+arcsinc=π

arcsina=π-arcsinb-arcsinc

Take the cosine of both sides:

cos(arcsina)=cos(π-arcsinb-arcsinc)

cos(arcsina)=cos(π-(arcsinb+arcsinc))

cos(arcsina)=
-cos(arcsinb+arcsinc)

cos(arcsina)=
-cos(arcsinb)cos(arcsinc)+ sin(arcsinb)sin(arcsinc)

√(1-sin^2(arcsina))=
-(√(1-sin^2(arcsinb))
√(1-sin^2(arcsinc)))+
sin(arcsinb).sin(arcsinc)

a√(1-a^2)=-a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+abc...1

and similarly the following is derived:

b√(1-b^2)=-b√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+abc...2

c√(1-c^2)=-c√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+abc...3

On adding up:

a√(1-a^2)+b√(1-b^2)+c√(1-c^2) =-a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)
-b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)
-c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+3abc ...4

Going back to the original equatn:
arcsina+arcsinb+arcsinc=π

arcsina+arcsinb=π-arcsinc
On taking the sine of both sides

sin(arcsina+arcsinb)=
sin(π-arcsinc)

sin(arcsina)cos(arcsinb)+ sin(arcsinb)cos(arcsina) =c

a.√(1-b^2)+b.√(1-a^2) =c ...5

and similarly the followin is derivd
a.√(1-c^2)+c.√(1-a^2) =b ...6

c.√(1-b^2)+b.√(1-c^2) =a ...7

And hence multiply 5 by
√(1-c^2), 6 by √(1-b^2) and 7 by √(1-a^2) the followin results:

a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)=c.√(1-c^2) ...8

a.√(1-c^2).√(1-b^2) +c.√(1-a^2).√(1-b^2) =b√(1-b^2) ...9

c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+b.√(1-c^2). √(1-a^2)=a.√(1-a^2) ...10

On adding up

2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+
2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+
2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2) =
a.√(1-a^2)+b.√(1-b^2)+
c.√(1-c^2) ...11

On multiplyn equatn 4 by 2 we av:

2a√(1-a^2)+2b√(1-b^2)+2c√(1-c^2) =-2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)
-2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)
-2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2)+6abc

on substituting the value of:
2a.√(1-b^2).√(1-c^2)+
2b.√(1-a^2).√(1-c^2)+
2c.√(1-b^2).√(1-a^2) from equatn 11

The following results:
2a√(1-a^2)+2b√(1-b^2)+2c√(1-c^2) =-a.√(1-a^2)-b.√(1-b^2)-
c.√(1-c^2) +6abc

3a√(1-a^2)+3b√(1-b^2)+3c√(1-c^2) =6abc

a√(1-a^2)+b√(1-b^2)+c√(1-c^2) =2abc

Given that:
arccosa+arccosb+arccosc=π

arccosa+arccosb=π-arccosc

Take sin of both sides

sin(arccosa+arccosb)=sin(π-arccosc)

sin(arccosa)cos(arccosb)+ cos(arccosa)sin(arccosb) =sinπ.cos(arccosc)- cosπ.sin(arccosc)

√(1-cos^2(arccosa)) cos(arccosb)+ cos(arccosa) √(1-cos^2(arccosb)) =sinπ.cos(arccosc)- cosπ. √(1-cos^2(arccosc))

b√(1-a^2)+a√(1-b^2)=√(1-c^2)

Similarly since we can rewrite the equation as:
arccosa+arccosc=π-arccosb

We have that:

c√(1-a^2)+a√(1-c^2)=√(1-b^2)

c√(1-a^2)-√(1-b^2)=-a√(1-c^2)

on solving for √(1-a^2) in the simultaneous equations below (using Crammer's rule):

b√(1-a^2)+a√(1-b^2)=√(1-c^2) ...1

c√(1-a^2)-√(1-b^2)=-a√(1-c^2) ...2

We have that:

√(1-a^2)=(-√(1-c^2)+a^2.√(1-c^2))/(-b-ac)

√(1-a^2)=(√(1-c^2)-a^2.√(1-c^2)/(b+ac)

(b+ac)√(1-a^2)=(1-a^2)√(1-c^2)

On squaring both sides:
(b+ac)^2.(1-a^2)=(1-a^2)^2.(1-c^2)

And dividing thru by (1-a^2)
(b+ac)^2=(1-a^2)(1-c^2)

b^2+2abc+a^2.c^2=1-a^2-c^2+a^2.c^2

b^2+2abc=1-a^2-c^2

a^2+b^2+c^2 +2abc=1

Christianity Etc › Re: Jesus Is More Than God, He Is Jehovah by efficiencie(m): 1:25am On Jan 22, 2015
ayoku777:
Personally I think its unfortunate that we are debating IF Jesus Christ is GOD, when EVEN the Church is GOD. And yes, you read me right. I believe that the root of the problem is because we don't understand the meaning of the word GOD or ELOHIM. God or Elohim is not a person, it is a title and a nature, under the Law, the old covenant, it was a title owned by and/or conferred by the LORD (YHWH or Yahovah) on people he sent with His word or He gave the right of judgment, then under the new covenant it became a nature imputed to those born of His WORD.

In Exodus 7v1, the Lord said to Moses 'See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh'. 'God' there is the hebrew 'elohim' and the LORD conferred it on Moses after He sent him with His word. Then Exodus 21v5-6 'And if the servant shall say I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not go out free. Then his master shall bring him unto the judges... The word 'judges' is also the hebrew 'elohim'. And it was conferred on people given the right of judgment by God, eg Priests and Elders in Israel. Also check Exodus 22v8-9.

Then Psalm 82v1-2 'God standeth in the congregation of the mighty, He judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly...'. 'God and gods' is the same 'elohim' in that verse. And then the very popular verse 6, 'I have said Ye are gods'. Same 'elohim' there. Some christians might say it is small letter 'g' god in all these verses. But let me blow your mind wider. Small or big letter 'g' is purely english, in hebrew, 'elohim' is 'elohim', no small or big letter. So when the scriptures call people elohim, it uses the same letter it uses when it calls 'elohim' in other verses, even for big letter 'G' GOD. All these shows the way elohim was used under the law as a title conferred; before it now became a nature imputed under grace, we will go there shortly. Then this is a verse that best shows this difference between YHWH as a person and elohim as a title, 1Sam 2v25 'If one man sin against another, the judge (Elohim) shall judge him. But if a man sin against the LORD (Yahovah), who shall intreat for him'. This shows the difference between the person of the Father and the title elohim, which is used by the LORD and also conferred by Him.

Then when Jesus came He said 'I and My Father are one' John 10v30. I've heard some christians say he was talking about oneness in terms of purpose and mission. Emphatically NO! He was talking to jews who knew the scriptures in Deut 6v4 'Hear, O Israel, The LORD our God is one LORD (YHWH)'. So when Jesus said I and my Father are ONE, he meant I and my Father are JEHOVAH (The Self-Existent One). So Jesus didn't even call himself elohim, He called himself YHWH. Calling himself elohim would have even been bearable to the jews 'coz there were people who God conferred the title on under the law, but to the Jews calling yourself YHWH was going too far. That was why the Jews wanted to stone him. So God is even a title too little for Jesus, that's a title for the Church (those born of the Word), Jesus is Jehovah, just like the Father.

Moving on, the Jews reply Jesus in John 10v33 For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy and because that thou being a man, makest thyself God'. Jesus replied them and said in v34-35 Is it not written in your law, I said Ye are Gods? If He called them Gods unto whom the word of God came, and the scriptures cannot be broken. In other words, if those sent with the word of God are called Gods, how much more those BORN OF THE WORD (the church)? And how much much much more THE WORD HIMSELF (Jesus). So hear this, The Father, The Word, The Church (through the Spirit) are Elohim. But only the Father and the Word are Jehovah or YHWH (Self-Existent) as stated by Christ in John 5v26 For as the Father hath life in himself (Self-existent), so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself (self-existent).

Some might argue that if Jesus is God, how come he still prays to the father. Simple! If God is a title then it will definitly be in heirachy. The authority and Godhood of the one who begat (Father) will definitely be above that of the one begotten (Jesus). And the authority of the first begotten will also be above the others begotten (Church). Even though all of them are Elohim. Its like a pride, in a pride all the males are lions, but there are daddy lion, Sons lion and baby lion. Maybe even grandpa lion, they are all lions but authority-wise they differ. Christ is elohim, and even, Jehovah like the Father but he's still subject to the Father, just like the church is elohim (by being born of the word) but also subject to Christ. That's why Jesus said in John 14v28 'For my Father is greater than I'. The Father prays to no one, Jesus prays to the Father, and the Church, through the Spirit, prays to the Father in the name of Jesus. All elohim, but different authority levels.

So let's rest this debate of whether Jesus is elohim or not. Jesus is more than elohim, he is Jehovah, like the Father. What we should be debating is whether the church is elohim or not. And we are by the way, so let's even rest that as well.
Your exegesis of the word as seen here is infallibly flawless and I rejoice at your mastery but you must note the dangers that abound if this exegesis is taught to babies and toddlers in Christ!

1. Many christians are yet to place a dividing line between God as a title and YHVH as the person. The two are believed to be strictly the same so telling them Jesus is greater than God will DESTABILIZE their mental faculties and the result would be endless arguments.

2. Your exegesis would also leave many with the question: if Yeshua and YHVH are one and hence Yeshua is YHVH then what is the distinctive name of the FATHER!? Because if Yeshua is begotten of YHVH then, though Yeshua is one in nature with YHVH, Yeshua is not YHVH as both Yeshua and YHVH are two different personalities with different names.

Isn't it an outrageous absurdity for a mathematician to solve a difficult problem using deductive methods without quoting a single theorem? Well it is even a greater absurdity to proffer solutions to scriptural questions without citing at least a single verse of scripture...

What is Eternal Life?

Jesus the Rabbi had this to say:

John 17:2-3
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

So in a nut shell Eternal Life is the Knowledge of the God Head

So i must ask: Do you KNOW YHVH, Yeshua and Ruach Ha'Kodesh, the God Head?

I say again there are works and there are WORKS! Works borne out of man's capacity defies Grace and vice versa but WORKS borne out of BELIEF in the Christ keeps FAITH ALIVE and only with a living faith can you get GRACE... Please read these verses and argue with bro James if you like:

James 2:14
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Bro James is asking you all a question, please answer?

James 2:17-18,21,24
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works... Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ...Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Ok, scribes and theologians start arguing with Bro James...instead of harmonizing scripture you pit it against itself...

if (x-y)^3 = A(x+y), prove d@ (2x+y)dy/dx = x+2y
source: KA STROUD FURTHER PROBLEM 7
given that:
(x-y)^3 = A(x+y),
the derivative wrt x is:
3(x-y)^2 (1-dy/dx)=A(1+dy/dx)
And since
A=(x-y)^3/(x+y)
then
3(x-y)^2 (1-dy/dx)=((x-y)^3/(x+y))(1+dy/dx)
3(x+y)(1-dy/dx)=(x-y)(1+dy/dx)
3(x+y)-3(x+y)(dy/dx)=(x-y)+(x-y)(dy/dx)
((y-x)-3(x+y))(dy/dx)=(x-y)-3(x+y)
2(-y-2x)(dy/dx)=2(-x-2y)
(2x+y)(dy/dx)=x+2y which is the required relation.

christemmbassey:
bros, a christian is RIGHTEOUS! He does not need to pursue righteousness. Do you pursue what you have already?
but righteousness is in measures...

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

2Corinthians 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; )

Why shine more and more if all you need do is to shine? Why increase the fruits of righteousness if righteousness is static... righteousness grows the more you're filled with grace, the knowlegde of God and the workings of the Spirit

[b] Now after a long lull, sultry Angela Philips was seen at an event in Lagos she talked with Potpourri.
For those who have a long memory, you would
have to excuse it for a minute or so. Forget
Angela had told us she was a born-again
Christian of high spirituality. I guess that
happened to her when she met her Pastor,
then “old things have passed away’ but making
out of what she told Potpourri those “Old
things may be things of future past”.
In the chat with Potpourri, she wasn’t talking
about Christ coming soon, but about nudity
and sex and how it is the salt of entertainment.
She even took a jibe at Nigerians, observing
that Nigerians are hypocrites who love nudity
but pretend not to because of some cultural
and religious orientations they would sooner
kick than keep.
“That’s what the public want to see, so why are
they complaining? They shouldn’t complain. If
you shoot a movie where everyone is well
dressed and covered from head to toe, nobody
will buy it. They want to see naked girls.
Nigerians should stop pretending. That’s what
we like and those are the things that sell. Look
at the musicians for instance, how many
gospel songs sell? But when you look at the
secular music, you’ll realise they’re making
waves. Look at our music videos. Everybody
likes nudity, be it in movies or music, so they
should stop complaining,” she bares her mind [/b]

That was wrong and ill-mannered. These young students can become too over enthusiastic sometimes.
...but is it right to speak against others in an incitory manner? Such teachings about invalidity of Christianity can be done discretely but not with loud speakers aimed at inciting others...even the Christians are not permitted to do the same...if we all claim our religion is the religion of peace then we must live peaceably with all men...

There's only one true religion, but they remain different doctrines.

The Bible foretold it.
...that the bible foretold the existence of divergent doctrines does not preclude the oneness of mind in the body of Christ...our doctrines must converge for the body of Christ to converge to the bride of Christ...Christ is coming for a spotless, blemishless and pure bride and all others with the strange doctrines would be shut out into outer darkness where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

1 Corinthians 1:10
My dear friends, as a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, I beg you to get along with each other. Don't take sides. Always try to agree in what you think. (CEV)

This is the plea of Paul to all Christians. We live in an era of wild and exciting doctrines that APPEAR to conflict and there's the tendency for Christians to take sides with the teachings of their HIGHLY REVERED TEACHER...and we fail to AGREE!

There's only one TEACHER, one COUNSELLOR, one BISHOP, one SHEPHERD, one MASTER, one PROPHET and one LORD who is Jesus Christ (Matthew 23:8-10; 1 Peter 2:25; Deuteronomy 18:15; Isaiah 9:6) and the revelation of the Lord Jesus by way of any spiritual gift in any person defines that person.

A person is an apostle because the APOSTLE, Jesus Christ, is revealed in that person. A person is a prophet because the PROPHET, Jesus Christ, is revealed in that person. A person is a teacher because the TEACHER, Jesus Christ, is revealed in that person...hence no matter how great a minister is, if the MINISTER, Jesus Christ, is not revealed in him then that ministry is a SPIRITUAL SCAM!

Thus we must be the BEREAN JEWS who did not just SWALLOW teachings, prophecy and other ministrations hook, line and sinker but rather examined the ministrations by communing with Jesus Christ, the MINISTER, in prayer, fasting and study! (Acts 17:10-11)

If we all LISTENED to our pastors, teachers, prophets and ministers and CONFIRMED their ministrations by COMMUNING with Jesus Christ the MINISTER concerning those ministrations there would be little or no DISAGREEMENTS amongst Christians!

The Bride of Christ must be ONE in MIND, ONE in DOCTRINE and ONE in LOVE. (Philipians 2:2)

Your thoughts!
