Maybe get together and start a teen outreach or a young adult prayer meeting or something that includes members of both churches. I believe Jesus said "those who are not against us are for us" why choose? Maybe two churches are better than one in your case. Just a thought. Mark 9:39-41 39But Jesus replied, “Do not stop him. No one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me. 40For whoever is not against us is forus. 41Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.… Edited October 12, 2016 by Flsnookman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said different strokes. Yes, today we are faced with a plethora of Churches to choose from. What do you do, walk into the nearest church even if it is a Kingdom Hall? I tend to view things differently than a lot of people on here, that is for sure. I am not trying to start controversy, just trying to express my opinion just like everyone else. I do think that it is vital to choose a church that teaches the true word of God. But there is nothing in the Bible to prevent someone from going from one such church to another such church and then even to a third such church.

You cannot separate them from your decisions anymore than you can separate breathing from being alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topics like this can get contentious and when there is a contentious topic it's always important to remember that the topic is itself should be the focus of the debate, not each other.

If and when they do, I get into a mess. I do not want to argue, but of course they do. You cannot remove them from the equation, it is just not possible. Look at it this way, if you make a list of 10 pros and 10 cons of doing a certain thing, the pros and cons are based upon what you feel is important.

No debating the person. I am not debating the person, I am debating the idea we can make decisions divorced from our feelings. Let me try this again. Let's say that two people make a list of pros and cons about buying the same house. These two people could have the same item on their list but it could be pro for one and a con for the other, based upon what they FEEl is important.

But you should trust your feelings, feelings are what keep us alive, and also what let's us know we are alive. I met my wife at a party in a city neither of us lived in and less than 1 year later we were married after only spending time together part time as we lived 500 miles apart. Logic would dictate that it was a mistake and we would never last, that was going on 3 decades ago. Had I not trusted my feelings I would have missed out on the best thing in my life outside of Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
