SEGREGATION CHRISTIAN STYLE!


Is the Bible the Sole Authority for the Different Denominations as they Claim it to be?

Preachers in every Christian religious denomination, no matter the name-tag over the door, claim to love and know the "Word of God" referring to the Bible. They read it...study it...interpret it...devote their lives to learning it to become professionals in teaching and preaching it. They claim it is the sole authority for what they believe...preach...and teach.

Oddly enough, every different Christian denomination is segregated from the other in their denominated buildings due to disagreements over the way they view and interpret scripture. Yet all claim their denomination came about due to a clearer understanding and "their" correct interpretation of the Bible.

Is it at all possible for the Bible to be the sole authority for so many different theological beliefs and doctrines that has caused so much segregation and separation of the Body of Christ as well as many atrocities against people in society who disagree with their defined beliefs?

Doesn't the Bible teach UNITY instead of SEGREGATION?

Is it possible that the segregation is due to misuse and abuse in using the Bible to form man-made doctrines leading to the man-made denominations? Was the Bible meant to be used for such damnation to the Gospel of Jesus Christ? 

The Bible and Jesus teaches UNITY...denomination's teach SEGREGATION...seems to me that something is not Biblically correct here. I am inclined to believe it is the segregation spawned by denominations that is not correct and not the unity the Bible teaches. 

Then again...maybe I am not religious enough to believe that what different denominations believe to be what the Bible says is what the Bible says!  Does that make nonsensical sense to you? 

I wonder if the people in denominations were so dedicated to  knowing and presenting Jesus as they are to knowing and presenting their particular slant on the Bible...would there be UNITY instead of SEGREGATION? Maybe that is what makes...nonsensical sense to you!

Just Asking!

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
