You are right ... there are no perfect churches, we are are sinners and selfish. You ask great questions: - How much of the Lord's presence is in the church? It depends on the people. Most of us have other concerns. - To what degree is Jesus Christ being given first place? We talk about careers, children and concerns more than Christ. - Is Jesus really being glorified in this place? No ... because if He was people would come to see the fire (of the burning bush). - Who is really in control, is it the pastor, the deacons, the people, or is it the Spirit of God? It depends on the church … but, I have not seen a true theocracy. People may think He reigns, but I think they base that on feelings, not facts. - Which church do you believe that the Lord is most pleased with? The one who is obedient, in love, faith and hope. -- They love Him first, with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. The love others as they love themselves. -- The live by faith and it grows daily as they study the Word. All three are seen by men, in and out of the church. -- They do not lose the hope, knowing He's working in and through them for the good of all and that He will return. - Are we in the will of God? Usually not … and we have had the opportunity to deny or die for Him. - Are we related to the Body in some way? We are suppose to be. But the eye does want to work with the foot. - Are we allowing Jesus Christ to be Lord of our lives? You mean give up all my rights? We do not have the time. - Are we living for Him or just living for ourselves? Most the latter, we think we have to do so much. I, too, have come across people who refuse correction … even after someone with more religious letters after his name said they were wrong. The Bereans did it to Paul and he accepted it (Acts 17:11). |

Steve, where exactly in Acts 17:11 are the Bereans 'correcting' Paul?? This is yet another off base, inane, assertion on your part. And I will go through every single one of your posts if I have to. This is an example of eisogesis, where one superimposes meaning into the text that is not there. This is how cults start. Please view any post by Steve Butler with caution. |

What do you think they did if they say a difference? If they mentioned it to Paul, what did he do? ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. |

The fact of the matter is: they did not find a difference! All of your questions have been answered by what I stated above. |
