SDA's, Mormons, Catholics and such............I really gotta wonder if anyone here owns a mirror?

If folks are gonna point fingers and such........mayhaps they should point them at the guy looking back at them through the mirror? If someone don't like or agree with another persons Church/whatever, that's fine, but don't be too quick to condemn them.......check out that LOG in your own eye first.

(a really smart man once said that)

I think that was Abraham Lincoln. No, that's not right. It was Jesus. Abe only chopped the logs.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)

Satan would rather we fight with each other rather than against his/their principles of darkness. It is our responsibility to detect the correct method of attack via the Word of God. After all, we are but pawns, yet the focus, in this spiritual battle.

But, Abe DID say: "I don't think I like that man over there.... I think I'll go over and get to know him."

He was my favorite president. He was also the first Republican president.

When people talk about one thing and then defend it tooth and nail, and then start other threads saying the same things....it means they have nothing else to discuss....this is a sure discernment, they are not spiritually mature enough to move on and discuss other things....They are not really trying to convince others of their position, they are really trying to convince themselves of their position and most time easing their own conscience...

Then............there are always the Threads about why the Church is so split, in disarray or some such. Well, if all folks ever do is focus on what they differ on, whadda ya expect? Mayhaps, just now and again, they could focus on what they have in common?

Dunno............mayhaps?

Churches that teach obvious heresy shall be called out, because the truth needs to be heard. Catholics call the Pope "Holy Father" and pray to dead saints.....that is idolatry. Mormons believe that america is the new Israel , that is against what the Bible teaches also. We should call out churches and not be afraid to do so. For darkness hates the light.

John 13:34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

I did not say I agree with the teachings of various Church groups, I said that BEFORE one condemns THEM, one should LOOK INSIDE!

So, let us take a look see...........what Church group do YOU belong to/affiliate with?

I belong to no church or denomination. I firmly hold on to the word of God as it is written , and have a relationship with Christ in my heart and in my mind. Churches are good for fellowship, but not necessary for salvation. The bible is all you need to carry you through in my opinion.

So.......you do not attend ANY Congregational worship services? You never attended a Church group as a child?

I used to go to a baptist church as a child because my parents brought me there. But I did not consider myself a Baptist, once I was old enough I realized I've had enough of the traditions of men and went my own way. Call me a lone wolf christian if you'd like. I like it this way. Very peaceful.

Well, I hate to inform you......BUT......there are MORE THAN A FEW CHRISTIANS who will say HERESY to that! Denying the fellowship of the Church is AGAINST what the Apostle Paul taught. So, right off, you got at least ONE thing to work out before you begin to point fingers as others........right?

And, with a Baptist upbringing........IF you hold to some of what they teach...........well........you got a whole lot more to work out!

Quite obvious you are just itching for something to fight about tonight. I'm not in the mood for silly games. I hold to the Bible, not Baptist teachings as I previously stated. That was just a church I attended as a kid. Rejecting fellowship is not heresy at all, that is laughable. Fellowship is fine, but as I previously stated not necessary for salvation. God is everywhere and you can have a relationship with Him through reading His word and praying. By all means yell heresy if it makes you feel better, but reading the Bible alone and praying alone is not heresy in God's eyes. Good night and go blow off some steam elsewhere.
