Bible Note: formereverything I'm not dismissing your struggle. I saying your trying to accomplish it in yourself and not letting God be God. You said "My thinking is this: I don't NEED a church to learn the truth, that is only found with the Bible and a personal relationship with Christ." While that sounds like a great concept and one that is often expounded here on the forum. There is some flaws to it. Unless this is done systematically and with some established guidelines it tends to breed problems like you mentioned Word of Faith and such. That is one of the reasons churches developed to insure man didn’t develop his own theology apart from God’s. I can and have on occasion (for example only) proved by scripture that man should only marry harlots. Is that sound theology absolutely not but without proper study many unsound theologies have been formulated and believed. Even at the time of Jesus people met in a synagogue to study scripture together it wasn’t for support programs but to seek the fullness and truth of God. We have ourselves confused we think we can find God ourselves and all church is for is Christian entertainment purposes. The fact remains if we aren’t studying and learning of God in our churches we are probably not doing much study period. I have not knowledge of where you live but I must believe there is a church that can meet your needs and the needs of your family in your area. If you want give me the general area and I can give you the name of some Assembly of God churches that may be just what you looking for. Or if you want e-mail me direct my address in my profile. EdB |
