HI Everyone,
Yes, English is not my main language so you might see me struggle to express my thoughts.
The Heberw Isrealites camps I am referring to are the Black Hebrew Isrealites. They came out of the One West Camp in New York
What I meant by "like minded individuals to commune with" was relating to doctrine.
I am not sure exactly when this conversion happened but I did see changes in my life. The more I focused on God and his ways, the less time I focused on sinful things(soft porn, nightclubs, and sinful movies to name a few). Looking back on the sinful life i was living made me tear up at times. How could i offend God in so many ways. What really hit home was knowing that He cared for me even when I did not care about Him. I disrespected him in so many ways, yet He was there to give me another chance to be united with him.
No offense taken and no time wasted.

Hey guys,
What i mean by  original family is the same family that God had with Adam and Eve in the garden of eden. The realtionship they had between one another.
What i meant by turning back  is turning my back on sin so as to not give it any worthwhile attention and instead focused on God and His ways.
Yes, I do have grief of my own. I don't understand how I could have offended God in so many ways. I thank Him everyday for showing his wonderful grace toward me.

O yes, I read the book. A really good read indeed. I always had a question regarding John 8:31. I did not understand how Jesus could call the believing Jews Sons of the Devil. The book cleared up the confusion. They did not have repentance.

I did have one question but it does not come to mind. I will look up my notes to see if I can find it. Hopefully I can find it by the time I reply back.

Hi guys,
Sorry for the late reply.
I would define repentance as turning back from my sinful ways because I have offend and grieved God. I would look back at my previous life style and have this uneasiness when reviewing it because I was living in a unnatural way. What really hit home was knowing that even though I offended God, and was a enemy towards God,  Christ still died for me in order to have an opportunity for me to return back to the original family. What amazing grace indeed. How could I not live for God, and not toward self, after that.

Hi Ellie and Chris.
I don't recall the exact date when i was born again but I do believe Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah & that he is the Son of God.
By faith in Jesus the Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit  I have been able to repent and crucify the old self. I have been able to put off the old self and put on the new man as Paul states in the New Testament. I thank God the Father for imputing Christ's righteousness on me, amazing grace in deed.

I have not read the book yet but I will make sure to read it next.

Hi Owne.
Nice to meet you. Looks like we came across CLM the same way. I to have been looking for a good local church. I looked into house churches and saw that the Apostles in the New Testament had house churches as well. Glad to hear you started your own home church. May the Lord give the increase, according to his will.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Brian. 32 year old Christian living in Los Angeles.
I happen to come across CLM on youtube. My original intention was to look for a video that I had previously watched relating to 501c3. I looked endlessly for that video on my browser history and youtube history with no success. I did however stumble on 501c3, the Devil's Church. From there I saw other video by CLM and visited the website. Since than i have been watching and reading the material online.
I wanted to join CLM forum because I have been unable to find a good local church. I did attend one of the local churches a few months back but the structure did not seem right. It would consist of 1.5 hours of music/praise. After that  bible study would start. I don't mind the music/praise but not for that long. I would rather get into the meat of scripture as a group.
My first real interaction with the Bible was when I encounter the Hebrew Isrealites on youtube. I had never seen people use the Bible in that way. Everything they said they backed up with scripture, at least i thought so at the time. I was amazed and captivated. I did follow them for a few months. They had everything going except love for the Gentile. They despised the Gentile. I did not agree so I moved on and started following other youtube channels. During my mid to late 20's I had an interest in diet and nutrition. I saw that the 7th Day Adventist focus heavenly on diet and nutrition. They had a special guest well rounded in nutrition and invited the community to join them. I attended the meeting and it went well. The following weeks I attended their bible study session and attended one of their worship services. Due to a conflict between the bible teacher and the pastor I stopped attending. I tried looking for a local church for some months but no success, than it crossed me. I have spent so much time looking for a physical church, when that could be spend reading my bible and building an intimate relationship with the Lord. In that time my relationship with the Lord grew and is still growing till this day. I am no seeking like minded individual to commune with.
