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 problem, my friend, is that everybody confines their thoughts of "church" to physical buildings and such. However, Jesus taught, if two or more are gathered in his name then there is church. But, due to greed, anger, and delusion, a mind set has developed in which people believe that if they are not in a building called a church, then they are not in church. Much of this has to do with the Church as an organization. |
