Why are there so many "church buildings" where so many Christians isolate themselves in separate "houses of worship" and they do not fellowship other Christians? Why do you think this is seemingly "THE RULE"? How does this look to non-Christians who thought Jesus taught us to love and fellowship each other. What is the basis of "CHRISTIAN" fellowship |

Are you referring to small groups that many larger churches have committed to? I guess I am not clear as to what you are asking, not that I know the answer or anything, but I would like more understanding of the question for when the answer does come along. Cuddle |

Hi, I am asking about churches that teach different doctrines....have different forms of worship....require different standards of lifestyle.....have different views on salvation. Pass judgement on churches that do not teach the scriptures like they believe as non-christians....some even go so far to say...they are the "only: church. All other churches are false. These churches do not fellowship each other. Catholic, Episcopal, Luthern Presbretarian, Methodist ,(United,Free, Etc.),Friends Nazarene, Baptist (Many types), Pentecostal (Oneness), Pentecostal (Trinity) Which one is right in your opinion and why? |

Saved, I can honestly say I wrestled with this same question for a season. I was raised as closely to a Jehovah Witness as posible. (that's a long story)They teach they are the only ones with the truth and their 'governing body' are the only one's who can understand the Scriptures and teach them to their congregation. I believed this! I know now it was a load of ... well let's just say that is not true. There are many churches who believe this, as I have learned over the last few years and I pray that this kind of teaching will end. NO CHURCH KNOWS IT ALL OR IS PERFECT. We are all in the flesh. Until Christ returns, we are going to fall short of having a church that 'has it all together' and is 'right' in all they teach. It is up to the Christian to study, pray, spend time with the Lord seeking truth. We go to church yes, to learn and grow, but we also go for fellowship and we attend studies with other brothers and sisters so that iron may sharpen iron. I finally came to the conclusion on my own search for a Body of Christ to worship with that instead of complaining about what I thought was wrong to do something about it. If that was not an option, move on. If you talk to the Lord about this He will guide your heart to the Body of Christ that is 'missing' you. The hand can not do what the foot can do nor the eye hear. (I paraphrase;)) Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden upon the Lord Denomination, in my opinion is over rated. I like what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. In my mind I sometimes take the names above church doors and place where Paul calls on the names of persons. I have a ministry the Lord gave me last year and the Scripture the ministry is built upon is 1 Corinthians 3:11..For no man can lay any foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ NASB. Before you buy a new pair of shoes, you have to try them on to make sure thay fit. I do not mean to minimize the decision of finding a church home, this is just what came to mind here... maybe if you went to a few different churches, made appointments with the pastor of each to sit down and express your concerns, ask questions, it would help you find a comfortable fit. I would make sure the BIBLE was being taught there and that Christ is their foundation. I hope my rambling heart has given some insight to your question. I am currently relocating and need a new church family myself. I will be praying you find the perfect fit for this season of your life. In His Service, Cuddle |
