It's That Simple by Nobody: 6:52pm On Sep 06, 2011 |
From which church do I attend to what are my beliefs, a couple of true seekers want to know why I am against all false churches and doctrine. Let me start with this remarkable verse in scripture by brother Jude. "Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people." - Jude 1:3 But why Well lets go to the next verse which says : "I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." - Jude 1:4 and just to add with Brother Peters comment "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves." - 2 Peter 2:1 "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons." - 1 Timothy 4:1 Lets ask ourselves, what are some of these doctrines of devils : 1. Forbidding people to Marry and abstaining from certain foods "They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth." - 1 Timothy 4:3 2. Adultery and Greed are fine, after all GOD understands "With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed--an accursed brood!" - 2 Peter 2:14 "In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping." - 2 Peter 2:3 3. Always debating the truths of GOD without any desire for salvation and misleading souls in the process "He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. [b]His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction." - 2 Peter 3:16 Other doctrines of devils Calling mere men "Father" or "Master" - Priests Cannot Forgive Sin! Worshiping Men and Their Man made Doctrines The Rosary is Unbiblical and Sinful Bowing to Mary is Idolatry! God as a Man and the Demotion of God Man as a God Visualization and Positive Confession Prosperity Teaching Been troubled about the sabbath. Then list is endless |

I have been to so many churches and currently attend a non-denominational church , only loosely, because so many churches are involved in one way or the other with these false doctrines. My idea of Christianity is simple : 1. Repent and believe in Christ Jesus 2. Read the bible and meditate on the contents therein 3. Pray without ceasing 4. Love GOD with everything 5. Love your neigbors 6. Preach to the lost 7. Rescue the weak 8. and live HOLY Lives This is true Christianity. Looking at the list you will have noticed, no candles, incense, Mary worship, abstaining from meats , keeping the sabbath etc etc. It is this simple |

You say churches are currupting the truth, what is this truth and how do you know it? |

"Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." - John 14:6 "Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;" - John 11:25 |

You do have a good knowledge of the Bible, no doubt, but you have not answered the questions. Ok, you have provided a book answer to "what is truth" but not in the context in which it is asked here. It is asked against the reality of the word being seen to drop from people's mouth like ripe cashews from an overburdened tree, not least of all you. And you have not said anything about how you know the truth. |

First of all, how do we know that the Bible is the word of God which we should consider the source of all truth? |

frosbel: If all churches are wrong , you should rather check yourself. . What you call false doctrine may really not be false. |
