Subject: Why is the Christian Church so divided? |
Bible Note: Hi, Beja... Perhaps the problem is in those particular churches. The old divines once said, put it this way -- sorry for not cleaning up the format, but I am off to bed in a few minutes! :-) The purest churches under heaven are subject to mixture and error;[4] and some have so degenerated as to become no churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan;[5]nevertheless Christ always hath had, and ever shall have a kingdom in this world, to the end thereof, of such as believe in Him, and make profession of His name.[6] 4. I Cor. 5:1-13; Rev. 2:1-29; 3:1-22 5. Rev. 18:2; II Thess. 2:11-12 6. Matt. 16:18; Psa. 72:17; 102:28; Rev. 12:17 --1689 London Baptist Confession Faith, chapter 26, paragraph 3. When the ministers of such churches are not men changed by the gospel, we should not expect their congregants to fair any better. At any rate, we pray for you, your family, and your flock. In Him, Doc |
