Does God's Kingdom have an official uniform and an official language?

Yup.  We're blood-bought, and worked into the image of He Who shed that blood for our sins.  The "uniform" is the Christlikeness God works in us.  The language?  I'd have to agree with Symphony.   But there are other fruits of the Spirit that spill over into that I'd say as well.

Official uniform and language are cool, but what about the official handshake and password?   Grin  Yes.  I'm being sarcastic and in high jest.   Wink

Dear MalkyEL

Thank you but if you have nothing of your own writing, I appreciate you please stop just quoting the Word of God.

Blessings!
That is the only way to answer the question. This being a Christian fourm, The Bible is completely, the only book with the answers.

Go in peace with God.

The question you asked requires the answer come of the Bible...not of "our own writings".

PhilKosba,

The WORD OF GOD will never be discouraged here. It will remain as the ultimate source for knowledge, instruction, and answers. Quotes from the Holy Bible are the ultimate answer and are MOST welcome here.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Dear contributors... great comments!

I very well know that 'Bible has all answers'... but quoting pages of verses will NOT solve the problem. Anyone who has a concordence can do it. But what I asked for is an explanation in your own words based on verses.... I thought you could understand it!


Acts 8 - Philip and the Ethiopian

30Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked.
31"How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

34The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?"



Do you think Philip could not quote hundreds of verses from the prophets to the Ethiopian eunuch? It needs humility to be a Christian! Do not mock at the one who asks if you don't know the answer; but better keep quite. God bless you.

If you didn't want an answer, then why did you ask? Just to see what we know?

Since most of the answers I noted did come from the bible, not from our own minds, I'd call that humility/humbleness - turning to that which leads us instead of leading others with our "own understanding". After all, the bible does tell us to "lean not unto our own understanding...."

Better to give the answer the bible provides than to not answer at all. I will stand up for my God and if that means being mocked, then I am mocked. Christ suffered much more for me, than I for him.

I don't believe that I mocked anyone, however, if I did do so, then I ask forgiveness. It was not intentional.

peace and blessings

Gracey,

Sister, you didn't mock anyone, so don't worry about it. Just keep being your sweet Christian self and sharing HIS WORD.

Love in Christ,

Above are quotes from your posts read them again you did NOT ask in your first post for 'our own words'.

  From your words i see anger, or a deep felt agenda, could be i am way wrong. I do not know your head or heart but i think you can understand why one would draw that conclusion.


I agree Mr. Bepster .....

I was wondering, what the point was to start with?   Huh  I certainly don't think answers should restrict the greatest source of truth there is.

However....

Using my own words I would have to say, "the language of Love"  Cheesy   And a uniform of Gods purity and righteousness.

Grace and Peace!
