Fundamentals Of Our Group

Romans 13:8-14
"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not covet, and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the
Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature"
We are not about a religion, my definition of religion is; a system of man made beleifs. Religion says that you have to do "works to get to God" in order to gain his love. But this isn't true, God loves us all equally from the beginning, we dont have to do anything to gain his favour. It is absolutley impossible for us as humans to follow the ten commandments and if we did, we would be Jesus himself. They are guidelines. We are about relationship with the Father, which is the reason that we were created. We are about advacning the Kingdom of Heaven, like we were told to do "Go into the world & spread the news to all creation" Mark 16:15. We are Christians that have a passion that burns within us, a passion for fellowship, for people, for the Saviour of the world. The commandment that we follow: Treat others the way you want to be treated, Love one another
