Bible Note: Let’s face it we live in an imperfect world. We attend Church and much of what is said is error, which does not necessarily mean we agree with it. We will all be accountable for what we did with Christ at the Second Coming. As for your comment: Denominations in themselves are not bad. 1Cor 1: 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? Denominations are divisions and they have excepted creeds, most which are not totally Biblical, that makes them Sin. Do I go to a Church that calls its self a name? Yes. We do not hold ourselves, and I do not hold my self as divided. Most who are in denominations do. I lift up Jesus Christ and all those borne of him are my brothers. Any other division is SIN. Does that mean I heap condemnation on you for attending your denomination? NO. You have to attend somewhere, and to find that assembly that truly preaches the truth that there is one body and one Lord, this is difficult to find. But to not recognize Division as Sin as the scripture in 1 Cor. Shows, is ignorance of the scripture. You need to see it for what it is. John Wesley if you have ever read about him, walked in the Spirit with a mighty testimony! When he died 3 denominations developed Wesleyn, Nazarene, and Methodist. If he only knew what people did with his life testimony. I have been in attendance of all three of these denominations and what they teach is a far cry from what John Wesley believed and walked in, I know I studied his life. I have a theory, when mighty men of God die, people go about teaching and preaching his revelations and what he did, instead of walking in the Spirit for them selves. This I believe is the greatest downfall of denominations, People stop hearing from God themselves and put God in a box. Why do you believe every Church in America is praying for revival and it is not being experienced? It is because of the doctrines and commandments of men that have God in a box and keep his Church divided. The truth is division is sin and to a certain degree we ALL are a part of it. We need to stand up for Christ not divisions/denominations. It is the truth, not hurt. Love, Tim |
