@The_Home_Six @The_Sig_ Responding to @The_Sig_, what Jesus did was not initiate but only do what the Father was doing and say what the Father was saying. So Jesus copied the Father in His own power.

@sum_of_thy_Word @alhakim120000 How is man referring only to the elders? Do you see Paul himself as an elder? And are not the elders part of the church or are they a separate group? 🤔

@pastor_brock Yeah, sigh. However, scripture paints a different picture. Jesus wants us all to grow into mature sons: “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Ro 8:14). “Until we all attain to the unity of the faith,...
