Bible Question:
What is the "NAME" of that church...? Does anybody know what is the name of that church where: -there is preached the Word of God, and the Gospel of Love, Grace and Peace - and not the supremacy of a certain group of believers; -not about who are we, but who is God and His Son, our Saviour; -not about we are right and others are wrong, but all have to be followers of Christ and equal children of God; -where the Word of God is considered to be a vital source of applications to our life: aplication-application-application; -instead of debates about Trinity/Unitarianism; the existence of a real Devil or not, of spirits, souls, etc; the Kingdom of God on the Earth/in Heaven; Holy Spirit and His gifts - are true/not; the focus are on the Name of God and God's manifestation, grace, the patern of our Saviour's life, humbleness, sin, love and hate, sacrifice, peace and war, Father-Son, Christian family, baptism, Holy service-Breaking the Bread and the Wine,forgivness and self-forgiveness, science and Bible- but not opposite, etc If anybody could answer at this question, may God bless him or her.

Bible Answer: The Bible gives a few names: the Church, the Church of Christ, the Church of the Firstborn, the Church of God, the Church of the Lamb. I think there's a few others but can't recall but the most important thing is that the Bible (NT) is referring to one church, on a world-wide scale. It's up to you and me to find it, we have to identify what characteristics make up the church as described in God's Word. A person could compare this search to looking for a grocery store or some other kind of business establishment upon moving to a new city and home. I realize this is greatly simplified but if you read and study God's Word and are absolutely devoted to finding like people of the same precious faith, I'm sure you'll find them. God will bless you for being perseverant. |
