WOULD YOU KNOW THE RIGHT ONES FROM THE NOT SO?
WOULD THE RIGHT ONE PLEASE STAND UP.

Is it the CATHOLICS, or EASTERN ORTHODOX, or ANGLICANS?
Is it the APOSTOLICS, the BAPTISTS, the CHARISMATICS, or the
ALLIANCE?
Is it the SDA, the LDS, the WITNESSes, the SALVATIONISTS?
Is it the EVANGELICALSm, the LUTHERANS, the EPISCOPALIANS, the
PENTECOSTS, the MESSIANIC's, the MENNONITES, the
PRESBERTERIANS, the QUAKERS, the AMISH, the REFORMERS,
the CHurch of the WAY, the CHURCH of CHRIST or the CHURCH of GOD?
Is it the church of the Methodists, the UNITARIANS, the UNITED CHURCH,
of the CHURCH of UNITY, or any of the others lesser knows?
WHO has the REAL true CHRIST DOCTRINE, SPIRIT, TRUTH, LIFE and LITE?
Do any of youse know?
How can you be sure?


LOOK if you are all clones of the samething, by with so many foney
baloney names, why not just call yourself and association CHRISTIAN?

Are you ashamed of the NAME CHRISTIAN?
OR do you prefer the church abba's choices whom so many of you worship
rather than the TRUE ABBA who is in HEAVEN and who SENT HIS only
begotten SON named JESUS?

Do you know what it means IN THY NAME I AM COME?

Take a look a the legacy of all these, how much blood is covering their
foundation spilled by those early abba's?

So when you think of CHRISTIANS, who do you think of and on?
They can't all be RIGHT can they?

So shame on you for thinking that your tie dyed robes are more than
those many others.
AND WHAT SAID JESUS ABOUT A HOUSE DIVIDED?
CAN IT STAND?
How many other chirstian sects have vanished into the woodwork of decay and been swept by TIME away?
Can you list that legacy and their own bloody deeds?

WHOM are you following and obeying, for by that one knows WHOSE
you truly art.

The true church is not a sect, and God has told us to allow the weeds to grow along with the wheat because until the Harvester comes to separate...even we cannot always tell which is which...and we don't want to harm the wheat by attempting to chop down the tares! The Lord of the Harvest knows who are his....and while it's true that no earthly tabernacle contains "all" the true people of God....God does have people scattered about this world in many earthly tabernacles....and He is the judge and we are not and we wouldn't want to be caught judging the wheat as tares or the tares as wheat, amen?

[christkid777]

You are right PG. The devil is the one who wants to start a witch hunt among the bretheren. [and sisteren] It seems like every day some new messiah wanabe tries to start the judging all over again. And always on their standards and not Christ's. I have watched this process over and over again for thirty years. But their motive is always the same, personal pride which thinly veils their hate. But the Kingdom of God stands sure, for the Lord knows those who are His.

Well people probably know my view of denominations.

The right Christians are found in all the places you mentioned. And the devil is found in them as well.

The church of Jesus Christ is in found in our hearts not in a building. The body of Christ will always be divided as long as denominations exist.

We are seeing with large stats the falling away from these denominational systems already. i think it will continue until the end.

The devil is the one who wants to start a witch hunt among the bretheren.
MAYBE, and then maybe the DEVIL also wants nobody to LOOK
and see for themselves.
CONSIDER the OT case where GOD pointed out to Jeremy the
plethora of idols and false shrines that had sprung up but ISRAEL like
you KID777 wanted nobody to change wit one for fear that we might
reveal the EMPTY ****HARDS you snipe from the sidelines how PEACEFUL
and NICE we have it,
just don't ROCK the BOAT or lift a finger to help BAIL.
YES FALSE MESSIAHS have gone out,
the worst were those who led folks to commit mass suicide
but there is another type out there today< WORLD ENDORSED
by their seminarian training where they had to answer the tests according
to the precepts of men rather than were allowed to be FREETHINKERS.
And so we have a bunch a CAREER LIARS WHO ALL SHAMELESS CLAIM
that GOD called them into ministry or that GOD even personally speaks
to them, but their blather can't lift one IOTA of MARK 16,17+18
ALL HAVING THE HOLY SPIRIT right?
NOT
ALL ONLY ABLE TO SEE AS PER THE EDICT OF THE MENSCHEN RUN AND
CONTROLLED SECTS no matter what their flag or idiology they all
claim is inerrant, holy and correct.

WE ARE SO MUCH LIKE THOSE BUMS who followed JESUS and when a
blind soul called out SON OF DAVID HELP ME, they all grunted
BE SILENT, bother not the TEACHER.
LOOK if you folks don't want to see, then CLOSE your eyes, but don't
expect me to be as ye DOUBLY BLINDED to the mindless tripe that
is passed off as religious, holy and right by those who were never called
by GOD but now can only see as their TRAINING DEMANDS OF THEM.

"Are you ashamed of the name Christian"
I have never once referred to myself as "Eastern Orthodox." It is you and others that refer to us that way. We have always, since the earliest times called ourselves "Orthodox Christians" and even simply "Christians." It is others who have imposed the other title which you yourself impose on us and then have the nerve to ask why we (when it is you) don't call ourselves Christian.

You said WE, so you are including yourself? Or are you perhaps like Jesus, and consider the rest of us to be the BUMS? You can speak harshly to others saying we are like the BLIND leading the BLIND. Perhaps you are as BLIND as we are? Are you the only one with the Holy Spirit? Are you like Elijah ranting and raving that no one is left but you, feeling sorry for yourself, and only seeing the bad in others?

Here is a spiritual message to you. You walked beside this church, this body of believers, and you stand outside and preach at those inside through an open window while they are worshipping the Lord and fellowshiping. You YELL out warnings, saying "HEED MY CALL! YOU ARE FOOLISH PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW FOOLISH PRACTICES. COME OUT TO ME, LEAVE THE COMFORT YOU NOW HAVE, LEAVE YOUR FELLOWSHIP, ITS NOT IMPORTANT, HEED MY WORDS AND FOLLOW ME BY LEAVING YOUR CHURCH." Some gentle souls walk outside to speak with you, and that pleases you for you are very lonely and wish fellowship, but you are unwilling to walk inside and join us for fear of somehow getting filthy by your association with us. Many of us here have no denomination ( I am one) to leave, but as to those that do, who are you to say the spirit is not in them? Can you see into thier hearts? Why dont you step out of the cold outside and come inside to the warmth and learn to fellowship with others. You dont need to agree with anyone here, but if you are without denomination, you still need fellowship, and you wont get it as long as you continue to stand outside in the cold.
May the Lord Bless your reading of this for I speak in Love, in the hopes you may see the truth of what I say.

A person can argue about who has the right "teachings". Obviously I think the Catholic Church does. But there are good and bad eggs in every bunch, and only God will know who is who on the final day, and He will sort them accordingly.

[Linsinbigler]

Right, CC. The wheat and the tares shall grow together. Although I will point out one thing. The wheat was planted first, and the tares came later, "when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then tares also appeared" (Matt. 13.25). The tares, the phoney wheat, came later, some of them some 1800 or even 2000 years later, but they shall not choke out the wheat, those who grow from the original crop planted by the Lord.

LINSI , heck no I am not ashamed to name myself CHRISTIAN
or a JESUS FREAK, but so many call themselves BAPTISTS, as if by
saying christian they might be seen as associated with any of those
others listed
ASK ANY CATHOLIC what they are first, CATHOLIC or christian.
