I saw something like this on several occasions while working late on a Saturday night..... and you would not want to even know what they were doing. Probably sacrificing someone or something.

I was not growing spiritually because every Sunday it seemed to be an exact carbon copy of every other Sunday. It’s been like that my entire life and I just accepted it because it’s all I ever knew. The sermons would put me to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you will notice that it mainly refers to prophecy & eschatological views. That is because it is the last great truth to be clarified across the Body of Christ. You notice we don`t all have different views of Salvation, baptism, infilling of the Holy Spirit, giftings, etc because those great truths have been clarified across the Body (in general). However we are still in the `tossed to & fro` stage (Eph. 4: 14) till this great truth becomes clear. I would encourage you to persevere & think upon the 3 groups - The Body of Christ, Israel & the nations & see whom the Lord is talking to. This will clear up a lot of `muddy waters` for you, I believe. Many people read God`s word as all about `us,` whereas we can read it, & learn about the Lord & what He is doing for the other groups. We are not the centre, Christ is & God`s purpose through Him. blessings, Marilyn. Thank you Marilyn for your insight. I should clarify that you are correct and I agree with the bolded part above. But I have to say that the thread regarding Women Pastors had many differing options being floated to the point where I just had to sign off. I couldn't read anymore! I get what you are saying about people seeing things from their tiny perspective or viewing things as an American only. I have often observed that myself in reading the comment boards on various websites. blessings to you too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was kinda researching different churches in my area as far as their core beliefs, I tended to be drawn to the Baptist denominations, although I never did go to one and see if I would like it. I know several people who are Baptist. I know what God says too but I didn’t initially learn it in the church! There are many different Baptist denominations.

In the study of God's Word I have found the miniscule to be even more challenging to interpret to the hermeneutic of rightly dividing the truth that His Word contains... I know by The Bible Itself that it is in fact from God's work as it matches the intricacy of the creative aspect of the self same Word used in the beginning...

Not all are at that level of involvement with God. A child needs structure, an adult in God does not. Acts 7:48, "Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands;" Acts 17:24, "God...dwelleth not in temples made with hands;" So you believe that those who attend a local church and fellowship with other believers are children? And those who do not are mature in their faith? God bless Ge 1 Cor 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Acts 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techincally, the Catholic Church is not a denomination. The word "denomination" comes from the Latin for "from the name of" which implies it came from another organization. It didn't. It was the first Christian Church, and was established by Jesus. In fact, it was the only Christian Church for the first 1000 years. Only in 1054 A.D., did the Orthodox split off. And, in 1517 A.D., Martin Luther, an ex-Catholic priest and monk, started the Reformation and Protestantism since then has splintered into literally thousands of man-made, doctrinally disunified, disagreeing denominations. __________________Peace __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
