What is your most important business in this life? ----To help other people get saved. What must you do to save your soul? ----No, salvation is not found by membership in a church. It's in having a relationship with God. Yes, the church is important. But it's the means, not the end. How many religions did Christ teach? ----One, of course. What, therefore, is to be thought of the many religions in this country? ----They are misguided. Is it not very uncharitable to say that all religions are false except one? ----Not any more uncharitable than to corect a man who's driving the wrong the way down the freeway. But are you not safe in following the religion in which you happen to be born? ----Religion is a choice, not genetic. (Yes, that includes Catholicism!) What, then, are you to do? ----Follow Christ But how are you to find out the True Church? ----Study the Bible to find out what the early church was like, and find a church that meets that description.

Guest yod Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 But how are you to find out the True Church? ----Study the Bible to find out what the early church was like, and find a church that meets that description. the church is not an organization. It's not found in a building. There is not "a" denomination who can claim to be the true church. If you want to experience a jewish "church" (like the first century) you can come to mine.... but you have the wrong idea if you think there is a "TRUE" church that someone can go to. We are the true church. Where we go is a cultural preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeldei was claiming that the institution of the church was the all-important thing. I believe that any church organization is a means to an end, not the end itself.
