Bible Question: I have been told that the Church of Christ is the only true Church. How do you Know if you are attending the right Church as far as denomination? Please provide text. |
Bible Answer: People will tell you just about anything and even some on this forum will try to exalt their particular denomination. The truth is what does the Bible teach; Jesus Christ is building the true church. 1 Cor. 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Be very cautious of those that lift up a denomination instead of the person of Jesus Himself there can no good come of it. It’s not lifting up Jesus Christ plus anything, it’s him only! The true church of Christ isn’t an organization but an organism. Jesus when talking to a person who was trying to pin worship down to a place covered the point of worship. John 4:20-24 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. [21] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. There is no particular denomination that is 100 percent right, they all have their flaws. Pick out one that teaches Bible doctrine and emphasis God’s written Word not a lot of ritual because all the ritual in the world wont sustain you in times of trouble! Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. When someone tells you something make sure that is stacks up with Scripture and that it isn’t someone’s impression of theology. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. |
