LoveOneAnother

How long is it going to be before you get over what happened and move on? Forgetting those things which are past, and reaching forth unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ? I am not meaning to sound as if I am trying to be a jerk, but honestly, it's time to forgive and forget and move on with the love of God. Isn't that what we are supposed to do? No matter what has happened. If you want to believe that my intention is to hurt and not heal that is your right. But I assure you the advice that I am giving is solid and based on the word.

The books were mentioned and "suggested to be read" from someone who obviously has some issues, to a person genuinely searching for truth and God. If Richard really wanted to help them and bring them to God, he would not have suggested books like that. I am not going to defend what I am saying to you, I am merely telling it like it is, the truth. And what I see on this forum are a bunch of very unloving people who are filled with bitterness and fear, and who knows what else, smearing other people. Sure people in the way did some crazy stuff that was not right according to God's word, but that is not God's fault. All the evil that was done, did was it was purposed to do, split up a very large body of people who originally had the best of intentions and who wanted to love God and others. Time to move on, and live the love of God towards others, especially towards those in the household of God.

It seems to me as if an incident happened according to him at the advanced class. The advanced class coordinators wife, was wrong obviously in doing what she did. But NOT forgiving someone for doing something wrong, is also not right. To wrongs do not make one right I assure you. I do not think I know the person who this happened to, but I may, because I have been at every advanced class of CR&F since 1998. Except for the last 2 years. The situation was handled it seems to me, in the right way. johniam was told that if he could not work it out with the person who apologized, and forgive, then he had to leave. What else would you think they could have done at the advanced class? Allow them all to stay in the house together with unforgiveness in one persons heart towards another? johniam had every right to be upset, I agree, I would have been not blessed either, but I also would have no problem forgiving someone who obviously did something wrong if they apologized. Forgiveness is for both peoples heart. The one forgiving gets healing in the act of forgiving, and the one who made the mistake can get their heart healed knowing the other person forgives them. johniam had a decision to make, to be loving (meaning forgive) or do not forgive, which is a basic principle of the love of God. If he had forgiven I am sure that all would have been taken care of by God. And the best situation for all involved would have come to pass. Maybe they would not have stayed in the same house for that class, I don't know, it was not my decision to make, I was not there, nor would I honestly have wanted to make a decision, but if I did, it would of been along the same lines. Just the mere fact that johniam refused to forgive was not wise or loving. Some people are just built that way in their old man ways, and those type of people unless they change will not get along with anyone or group for very long, because forgiveness is REQUIRED in order to walk in fellowship with God and with the family of God. Even if others have done something wrong. If no one ever did anything wrong, why would we even need forgiveness? I hope you see my point? As for your other questions, they do not matter at all in regards to what I am saying. I speak from first hand experience just as the other guy. Whom, I believe has a great heart, but just needs to forgive a little easier. No matter what. God forgave Paul for murdering Christians, the Advanced class cooridinators wife in question surely did not do anything close to that. Love in Christ,

Richard, an expert on "The Way"? What does that mean? If after 28 years you have not learned how to love with the love of God, then I assure you it's not God's fault or any organization's fault for sure. It's either you did not want to change or you were not taught "HOW" to Love people with the love of God? Knowing the doctrine of "the Way" myself ( I was not a member but have read and heard just about everything ever taught or spoken by Dr. Wierwille ) I would have to say that it is not that you were not exposed to the love of God nor taught the love of God, but that it just did not stick. Using a scare word such as Cult is what the devil and his cohorts have been doing ever since the word of God started to move in the first century. Back then they used the word "sect". Jesus Christ was called a "leader of the sect of the Nazerines" by who? The very people who were against the true movement of God and his word. Directing someone to read books filled with fear, deceit, skeptisim, bitterness, and outright evil, spoken by people who are surely not in fellowship with God, is also a crazy and very unloving thing to do, especially if you are truly trying to bring someone to the light of God's word. In order to do that, you have to speak God's word in Love, not send people to the opposite of God's love and word. That in itself should be a simple thing for you or anyone who reads my post to understand. Stay spiritually sharp people, Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Love in Christ,

Christian Research & Fellowship is just a name given to a very loving group of people, who use it as a vehicle to move the rightly divided word of God over the world. Legally any group doing anything on a large scale such as this has to be registered properly so as to meet the demands of the Goverment and it's laws. All that aside......... The name itself does describe the activities of CR&F. They are a research, teaching and fellowship ministry, who teach people how to know God experientially by rightyly dividing the word of God, to the point that they can understand it and practically live it in their daily lives. There is nothing to join, you do not join up or sign-up to the group. If you are hungry to know God and his wonderful word, and want to experience and live the power of God in your life, just go to a fellowship that you have been invited to. They do not keep records on you, control you etc. However, you will learn if you want to know, God's will and heart about things in life, and then it's your choice and decision to change if you want to see the power of God move in your life. If you take any of the classes that they offer, of course they will have a record of the class you took, because you will sign up to take it. Any of the negatives in this thread that you have heard are just second hand, and not from anyone who is actively participating with CR&F, I assure you.......... You will get many responses in this forum from people who probably have been hurt by the Way in some form or fashion, and have some anger about it. Which I totally understand, although, if they were really true followers of the Love of God, they would not act nor speak in the manner in which they do.......... You'll have to decide on your own, who you are going to believe? People who are not associated with CR&F in anyway, or those who have experience the Love of God, that is lived and shared by the people involved with CR&F..... it's your choice. Go to a fellowship and check it out........ Love in Christ,
