Thank you 🤗😇

Halfway through this book and I think it's a good read for new Christians or any Christians I'm general: Jesus: a short life by John Dickson God bless you and keep you 🙏

Thank you I truly feel so much calmer in the matter after corresponding with all of you and I've taken all your advice on board and realised that it truly doesn't matter which church I attend along as they are preaching the true gospel of Christ Jesus I will be happy with that, so thank you...

Thank you! I am an overthinker which I feel all of you have witnessed :LOL: but like you said ultimately we're all saved by God's grace and called to sin no more I feel as long as we as Christians stick to that and still have respect for our brothers and sisters in christ that differ on things...

Thats a great idea actually! thank you I've noticed study bibles tend be quite pricey especially when you look outside of the king james translation but I guess there's nothing stopping us from taking notes on a regular bible, I don't know why I didn't think of that myself to be honest so thank...

Yes, I watched a documentary about Martin Luther and why he started the Reformation and I could relate to a lot of his reasons but it hasn't necessarily solved the problems he was trying to solve (within the church) as there's still corruption within some Protestant churches till this day and I...

Welcome Cam I'm new too! I'm not a teen (26 years old - female) but I'm sure others in the community would be able to guide you to more teen-oriented spaces on here. What's your vibe music-wise? I adore music myself and love seeing other peoples music recommendations. May God keep and bless you :)

It's interesting I could say orthodox and Catholics both have claim and the Lutheran churches also, I guess it depends on how you interpret it. I can't say I'm well versed enough to know how to decipher the more bible yet especially when it's not an English standard version, so forgive me for...

I think it could be taken as either spiritual or literal, I tend to lean to it meaning more spiritual though but I understand those that would take it as a very literal meaning.

You aren't at all adding to any confusion if anything you're clearing it for me, I've made a conscious effort to read more of the scripture and asking the Holy spirit to guide me and I think right now its telling me I'm loosing sight of what matters which is Jesus a relationship with God Himself...

It's a greek orthodox church The Greek Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary Eleousa it's name. I don't know if I agree with the glamour of it all (hope that makes sense) and veneration of icons, I'm not too strict on pictures in religious places but I don't feel like I need to venerate them in...

Thank you it does! God bless :giggle:

I understand thank you, it has hard when we get into these doctrines that seem differ so much from what Jesus meant, I can understand why some have interpreted some things in the bible to Jesus appointing special apostles (maybe not the right to put it) which in turns has led to popes etc.

I admit I can't find it specifically said anywhere that Peter is the head apostle in the bible, they're only reasoning from the bible was the verse I stated in my last post to you and the apostle Paul. I think if some don't know how to speak objectively about things then maybe they can come...

Thank you for your advice. I am taking a moment from looking for a church and focusing on reading the Bible and growing my faith in Jesus first and foremost just so when I do look for a church home again I won't be so vulnerable to any deception that might or might not come my way. God bless...

Thank you, you've cleared some confusion up in my mind, so would you say somethings get lost in translation then which would probably end up with a lot of Christians being confused on what church actually means and over complicating it (basically like I've done lol). The video you linked isn't...

They were mostly pointing to Paul's letters and the passage in the bible of Jesus talking about making a church on this rock to Peter: In Matthew 16:18, Jesus said to Simon, “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock, I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not...

Oh, so why don't Orthodox Christians call themselves Orthodox Catholics then? Anytime I'd bring it back to Jesus saying more than 3 people joining in the worship of him is a church I'd get a response of what the Book of acts or what Paul the apostle wrote and I'm not well versed enough in the...

So they aren't the true church, I just get more and more confused the more knowledge I acquire.

Thank you Grace and God bless 😇
