Bible Note: Tim I'm beginning to get clues here. You attend a "non denominational" church has is really a denomination in itself. One of it's doctrines is that any denomination is bad. I will guess now that you attend a WOF church. Your right division is bad, I believe God desired the church to be one but let us face facts since the Reformation that hasn't happened. Nor is likely to happen again. As long as you can read the Bible and I can read the Bible and get two different takes on the same passage and there is no one person assigned to be the tie breaker. Remember the thing that kept the church one for 1500 years was the Pope was the tie breaker. However an old adage came into play "power corrupts absolute power absolutely corrupts." While the Pope was the tie breaker and there were no denominations, there were other problems as you know. There are passages in the Bible I honestly believe mean "thus and such" and I can find an equally honest person that reads the same passage to mean something different. Both of us claim to be lead by the Holy Sprit both can supply scripture to support our beliefs. Both decide to go different ways that is how denominations start. What is the solution? Scripture? We both read it differently. Holy Spirit? We both claim to be lead by the Spirit. It is just like you supporting WOF. I believe we are both Spiritly lead, I know I read the Bible I believe you do, yet I see WOF as the most destructive heresy to enter the modern church and you see it as okay. As for revival do you believe we are in the ‘last days’? If so don’t look for revival look for a great falling away. The word says there is going to be a great falling away not a great revival. The revival is for the children of Israel and will happen during the Tribulation. Be blessed my friend I still would like to know how you got so against denominations. EdB |
