I don't belong to the Baptist Church, nor to the Christian Church, nor to the Protestant Church, nor to the Catholic Church, nor to the Non-denominational Church, nor any other church men have established. Nor do I obey any doctrine, nor form of doctrine that any man has and will establish on in the name of a church.

I guess these things have been established by carnal men who have not discerned the body of the Lord Jesus Christ indeed. They are mini kingdoms, contrary to the Kingdom of God. Yeah, I don't belong to them, neither do I partake in their worship ceremonies, nor in their praises, nor in their hymns. I don't belong to any of these, nor to any church established by men. But I belong to the only Church that was established by God, and that church is not a natural building, but a spiritual building. And only that church will be saved. I worship in that church, I pray in that church, I sing the hymns of that church.

There are enough church buildings to feed an entire nation, but yet, these churches are the ones that are starving. Indeed, If you are not a part of this church, then you are starving. You are not being, ''Fed the Word of God,'' as you might say, or believe. You signed a paper and learned a few things about the bible, and were accepted so long as you agreed with the pastor. But is that pastor God? Can he give you salvation? Maybe some have missed the idea! No man nor woman was ever anointed to glorify themselves, in fact many people get a false anointing from pastors who were never called in the first place. Self established churches is what they are. But there is only one building that will withstand the storm, and that is the one built on the foundation of Jesus Christ, not on the foundation of church charity, feeding the poor programs, and preach for money gospels.

Hmm. Don't be offended now. Where is the gospel of Jesus Christ?? And if we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, then our works are not done in vain. But any deed done outside the TRUTH of the Gospel is done in vain indeed. It is works, and a works gospel is the fallacy my friend. Because you didn't earn your salvation. You couldn't. Impossible, because you can't be righteous enough to do it. But Jesus did it, so stop trying to work for righteousness and have the FAITH of righteousness. And then your works will not be in vain.

May Jesus bless you.

I am a United Methodist. I don’t let them tell me how to think, though, and they don’t seem to try to tell me what to think.

What does the kingdom of God require? Your money? Your time? Your talent?

The kingdom of God requires your entire life, and your heart. And what is tithe? Hear the story of tithe:

35 ¶And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
38 ¶And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41 ¶And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
Mark 12

And hear the story of tithe:

9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18

May Jesus bless you.
