Bible Note: Hi Keliy, I really struggle with the whole denomination thing to be honest, as I feel that we ought to associate ourselves exclusively as the body of Christ, not denomination, as there should be unity in the body not separated by denomination. I don't want this to come across wrongly to anyone, but I feel strongly about it. In my mind, different doctrines among churches (denominations) means that they are interpreting the bible differently, when God's word is the same yesterday, today and forever, and if the Holy Spirit is truly teaching us, that should not be. Now, I think that for the most part, it's not a salvation issue among the main stream Christian denominations, but is still concerning to me. I used to attend a Baptist Church, which I had no problems with, as the word was preached, but now am a member of our local Community Church which I am able to serve and be active in since it's much closer to home. I always recommend a church where the whole counsel of God's word is taught in it's entirety. Furthermore, the Christian faith certainly is not religion nor should be made legalistic, as it is a very personal and intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I felt lead to say these things, not directed to you specifically, but as a whole and I appreciate you and your kind words. May God bless you richly!! F.C.S |
