Hello Nevvvvine, thank you for your input. I myself pray often for God's will to be done, and ask Him to intervene in the direction of my own life I just read your profile, and I totally agree with your statement that most adherents to a specific denomination believe: "We have the truth, and all others are deceived" This applies to JW, Mormons, Protestants, the pope, and muslims equally. I feel this is the danger with denominations, and it is not to be taken lightly. Not everyone can be right, although I have an aunt that thinks so. This thread started out in a verse in Psalms and ended in a dialogue that resembles the Calvinism Armenianism debate. Actually, both sides of that debate are wrong, God's will is somewhere in between and His Holy Spirit knows that there will be arguments about this. Many adherents do not realize the gravity of the sin they are committing by stirring up these debates. It only professes their own pride and ignorance. What we are called to do is to emanate the aroma of Christ. This is done by helping one another understand their obstacles in God's Word, and not by trying to to induce someone to truckle to our own belief system. Thank you for your heart, keliy |

Greetings keliy! Trick question for you! Do nondenominational adherents have the truth and are all denominational adherents deceived? Just curious since you say the denominations are a danger because they each say they have the truth. Couldn't help but wonder were that left the nondenominational adherents???? The argument is sort of self defeating isn't it? It's nothing more then an attempt to discredit the position of denominational adherents in favor of nondenominational adherents. I know a lot of nondenominational churches and members use this argument as you have but I've often wondered if they ever see how self defeating the argument is. Or perhaps if it's they think they have the truth and the denominational churches don't then they just don't get it????????? Get the point? Steve |
