Contentions Division

1Cor.1:11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. 1:12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
1:13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius, 1:15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
1:16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don't know whether I baptized any other.)
1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News--not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn't be made void.

What is ownership, isn't it the very concept of creation of man and woman, ownership of each other that they become one, one flesh before God indicating ownership of each other? How could those in Christ think for one moment that they could intermingle there headship in Christ which is far greater than ownership in our flesh and be faithful?

Rom.7:2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

1 Corinthians 7:4 The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but the wife.

Were they not one in Christ? In other words, they were purchased from this earth, from their own life, which old life wass put to death in Christ;. they were raised up in new life in Christ, as his body members in front of whom? God! How could one belong to another name and be faithful to Christ? Now think? If one could not be baptized into Paul and be faithful to Christ, then how could one be baptized into some religion, and belong to Christ?

2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

So will are defending flesh, or something we think is right in our religion, a religion not married to Christ, is that the job of those in Christ as God's personal ambassadors to the nations of our earth? The apostles Paul is going to address this issue in his letter to Corinthian's it no small matter; he called this problem just what it is, a work of the flesh, causing divisions! How can one defend a teacher in the flesh and belong to their group, and be in Christ our headship which is the only thing rightfully Christ body can defend as truth?

1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they didn't belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
Romans 1:6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

The flesh never gets is right, it always put the emphasis on the wrong thing, it never hits the mark of truth, and Spirit, it always gets it backwards, each and every time. It puts man above God, it puts man's goodness, and his teaching before God, and Christ. There is no Church, and any congregation of God on earth found in a religion that is Christ, there is no substitute kingdom filling in for Christ until he returns, they is no group specially formed by God where we can falsely think and teach waiting until God's Son Christ Jesus decides to rule. All that thinking is of the flesh, and is made more important by the flesh than the Christ. That is the teaching that causes division and stumbling of the little one for glory of men which glory of men is yeast, corrupting teaching that permeate into ruining the unleavened bread of Christ make them Babylonish religious worship of men in their flesh as messiah's.

John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

John 8:50 But I don't seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

John 8:54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

Matthew 23:8 But don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.

A good profound teacher is not Christ,just because they are good with words, making a point that is not Christ, the kingdom of God is not about words, it about the power of Christ indestructible life in us, Christ is the Word of God. People are deceived by words, not the indestructible life of Christ, the whole earth is deceived by words coming from every source of propaganda and false teaching by someone trying to make a name for themselves including wicked spirit force in heavenly places.

1 Corinthians 2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Words without Spirit and truth steal the glory from God and give them to men in their flesh. There is no history of the great building projects made by the apostles, not one! Nor some great religion they started, from anyone of them, nor did they teach others to do that, their works were in Christ, and none other. Those of the flesh (the world) have stolen Christ words and works by pleasing men in the flesh for in sight worship, to make a name on earth after the apostles died off the earth, bvut their true hearts were exposed by their works and/or fruits as a corrupt tree.

1 Corinthians 11:19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

Why did God set up the foundation of the apostles of Christ the way he did? Because Christ and those that belong to him are not of this world, not ib religions, its building projects, it governments, plain and simple. That is the message which is inner-laced throughout the Greek scriptures; we blind ourselves anytime we make ourselves or any man more important than the invisible life of Christ in us. Few will find it, Christ ask us a specific question which is not a joke something we all need to think about seriously if we can? Will he find faith on earth when he returns? There is much faith in men, in religion, in government, in some business, lots of faith by sight, a faith people will die for, no kidding in a heart beat.

Romans 10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

Yes, they will defend fericily a man, a woman, a religion, but Christ is not known by this world, don't be fooled that is a Holy Spirit statement found throughout the Greek scriptures stated by Christ and his apostles. Now if they themselves were not known by this world, the question is why? We are not talking about written words in the bibles all the world has, not written religious information, movies, and TV; how were they not known?

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him. (the world was the Jews, Christ was sent to no others but the Jews.)

1 John 4:5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

All false religion is onething for sure, part of this world, this world is flesh and blood, its that simple, this world has published from the bible many words of the flesh that cannot know God, mixing those words into what religious people think is Christ and his apostles teaching making those teaching part of this world. Yeast corrupted teaching that lead people to where? To men, and woman in a religion for purposes of finding salvation, in their putting faith in governments, in some organization for help, not in Christ indestructible life, not in the source of living waters, the bread of life that feeds our spiritual lives from above. If we are in Christ, we are not part of this world our food does come from this world, we can't be both, we can't be light, and darkness, we can't be flesh and living off the teachings of the flesh and be in Spirit feeding off the life of Christ Jesus.

1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

1 John 4:9 By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

1 John 3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.

Those belonging to Christ are not known by this world, they are then the center of attack by wicked spirit force because it is the kingdom of Christ that will bring an end to their world. Those of false religion are upholding and building of this world, in one way or another. The question is, will Christ find the true faith on earth when he returns?

Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe.

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
