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: Dear Friend, I'm sure many who attend all denominations and non denominations wonder the same question. I know I have and I could never find an answer that convinced me. So I did some praying and studying of my own. If you care to hear this is what I have come up with for myself. It's starts with a process of illimination! First I illiminated all religions who didn't use the Bible. Then I elliminated all religions who added another book to the Bible (Mormans, Catholics, Karon etc.) The bible says not to add any other book to the bible, Rev 22:18. Then I discovered an interesting poin as to why the bible is very different from every other book in the entire world. It is 2/3rds prophecy. That means most of world history was foretold. Which kingdoms rose and fell, how many kingdoms there will be, not to mention the birth of Christ and where it would be and when. No other book can tell this because only God knows the beginning to the end. Much of the bible is recorded in the Book of Mormon and the Karon but the Karon and Book of Mormon are not recorded in the Bible. I also dicovered in the book of Revelation 3 different times God say's He's returning for a type of Church. It discribes this church as keeping the commandments of God and the testemony of Jesus Christ Rev. 12:17, 14:12, 22:14. If God is coming back for a church who keeps His Commandments the church better figure out which ones they are. I don't know about you but I need to know because I intend to be apart of the church He's returning for. Which commandments are they reffering to? Good question since the church or at least anyone I have asked cannot explain it to me. But the bible tells of a story about the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17 this young man came to Jesus and ask what he must do to enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus tells him to keep the commandments. Jesus then quotes the last 6 commandments which teach us how to love our neighbor (the first 4 Commandments teach us how to love God. These commandments Jesus quoted were the Ten Commandments. In 1 John 2:3 And by this we know that we have cme to know Him, if we keep His commandments.4 The one who says, I have come to know Hin and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. The church ignores this statement. I want to know what commandments we need to keep to know that I know God don't you? Continue to read all of 1John. Here's where the problem lyes in the church. Supposedly the Ten Commandments were under the Law and we are no longer under the law but grace. So the TC's don't apply to us. There is something wrong. This does not correspond with revelation or Jesus answer to this young man to such an important question and many other scriptures. The reason why I believe that the TC are explained away and scripture so twisted that it took years of studying to unravel it, is because if they were still in effect the "Christian Church" would be breaking one of the commandments. The "Christian Church" goes to church on the 1st day of the week and not the seventh, which is the Sabbath. If this were true that would mean that every church who attended church on Sunday would be illiminated as the true church, why because the bible says in Rev.22:19 not to take away the words of this book God would take away his part from the tree of life. The Roman Catholic Chuch changed the Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday and the "Protestant" Christian church followed suit. I have much more to say but may be running out of room. Disgest this and ask me some more later. God Bless |
