Is The Church You Belong To In The Bible?


Is your denomination found in scripture?
Is your denomination sanctioned by Christ?
Is your denominational doctrine the doctrine of Christ?
Are your churches denominational rules and regulations Christ initiated?
Are your denominational Sunday-go-man-led-event-driven-meetings initiated by Christ?
Is the segregated denominated building you call “Church” the Church Christ established?

Are these not legitimate questions every believer should ask themselves regarding the religious institution they identify with?

If the answer is no to the above questions, isn’t what you are partaking in, error and not truth?

So is your name-tagged denomination in the Bible?

Whether you search for Baptist...Pentecostal...Methodist...Anglican...Lutheran...Roman Catholic...Presbyterian...Brethren...Seventh-Day Adventist...Independent...Non-Denominational...or any of the other thousands that exist, not one is found in scripture or approved by God.

Should believers give their allegiance to something that is not God ordained and is an hindrance to the plan and purpose He ordained for the Church that Jesus said that He would build?

Does the fact that the denomination you are devoted to is not found in scripture cause you to question and wonder as to  how and why such entities exist?

“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him (Col. 3:18). Is that happening in what you have accepted as Church?

“If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God (1 Pet. 4:11). Is that evident in your denomination?

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides int he doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him...(2 John 9-11). Are denominational doctrines Christ's doctrines?

Isn’t it time as believers to evaluate...who we are...what we do...why we do what we do...how we do what we do...and...where we do what we do and discard anything that is not found in the teachings of Christ, is not Christ centered, is not Christ honoring or is not Christ loving, ?

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
