Baby Christian here! I was raised to go to church but we went to mega churches (I never felt right about some of them) and I attended a Pentecostal church (Not gonna say anything negative) but I never felt at home with any other church than the one I attend now. I was baptized at my current church a year ago and I felt welcome and loved as soon as I started going there. It took me some time to fully experience and understand Jesus’s love, it hurts but feels great at the same time. That’s how I can describe what I felt when I opened the door to my heart for him. If you happen to read this far, thank you. If you want to know what life is like for me now since being baptized and having that change of heart and mind, I’ll tell you it’s not easy nor is it always this feeling of ecstasy. The feeling of turning back or ‘back-sliding’ is always there but you have to keep yourself in prayer and reading the Bible. If I can give anyone advice that was shared with me by my future father in law, being a Christian is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Some people will take advantage of your kindness and your willing to give but always remain vigilant about it. Have a blessed day/life.

I'm 20 years old and still dependent on my parents. My family attends church twice a week, but I've been feeling like I'm not growing in my understanding of God's word because we rely solely on the teachings of our church without personal Bible reading. In fact, our church doesn't really encourage personal Bible reading, stating that it may lead to misinterpretations. I've been struggling with this because I feel like I've been going to church out of habit or obligation, and it hasn't been fostering my spiritual growth. And it doesn't help that the church places more importance on itself as the path to salvation rather than on Jesus. Recently, I started reading the Bible on my own and have decided that I want to find a church that aligns more closely with my beliefs and supports my spiritual growth, allowing me to get closer to God. However, I'm hesitant to tell my parents about this decision because our current church holds significant importance to them. Right now, I've been watching KZbin videos about the gospel and God, and reading the Bible by myself. But deep down, I have a strong desire to connect with a community of like-minded believers who can support me in my faith journey.

MY Servants are to serve the people and* instead they are enticed to sin with bribery to stay silent from the government's who give tax exempt status and warn you if you speak you will pay for it financially. 💋For the sake of money you muzzle yourself. 💥You prove what God you serve when you do not speak that homosexuality is sin. 💥Abortion is sin! This war is sin! The ways of the world is sin! 👉 *Anyone who is a friend to this world is not a friend to 'I AM' or MY Son YAHUSHUA, BEWARE!* ☑Don't you know you will be held responsible for not speaking out in fear of losing your tax exempt status? You Spiritual leaders you have accepted the bribery from the government to remain quiet. ☑You have sold your birthright like Esau did for a handful of gold. The bigger the ministry the more you could have had MY People to raise up and speak up and tell the heathen no. Yet, for a bribe you remain silent and allow murders of innocents and the blood is on your hands spiritual leaders and 💥all who follow *after them and all who support them with your tithes and offerings.* Why are NOT the churches supporting those willing to sacrifice their all to protest against these murders of innocent babies? They lose their jobs, imprisoned, mocked, and why? Because they heard MY voice, and MY conviction that said, “Speak up, don’t say silent.” I have heard their prayers, I have seen their tears, and I have felt their pain, have you? 👉Every church service should be praying for them. Every church service should be praying for MY conviction, MY judgment on those doing such things, allowing these murders, yet how few do. I am GRIEVOUSLY ANGRY. For you say you’re MINE and you are ignoring the cries of the unborn, and the cries of those that sacrifice their all to protect and stop the slaughter of the unborn. Rise up, speak up, in MY Name, Pray, Pray, Pray, till you see this horror cease [ spoken since 1998]. *‘’A Total of 2 Billion Babies Are Mercilessly So Viciously BUTCHERED Inside & Outside of the WOMB WorldWide’’* (revelation given in June 2021 (32 month ago)). You want to know why I have allowed this to go on, because I have been waiting for MY Children to call upon MY Name to stop this. To prove they care. Not just a handful, but millions should have spoken forth as these laws against MY laws were passed. 🔴There should never be a church service without this prayer going forth. Pastors you will be held accountable. You have been warned. Congregations warn your pastors. They are supposed to be representing ME. Urge them every service to pray for this horror to cease, for MY judgment to come upon those that refuse to repent. Stop giving ME lukewarm prayers. I will not listen. Give ME prayers with passion and with a heart that cares. Stop the ritual prayers that are merely memorizing words, I will not hear. This is from your mind and mouth, not your heart. [ This Prophecy 11, Given/spoken 1998, 26years ago]. You must REPENT NOW or you also will suffer what is to come and coming quickly. You have been warned. 👉So worried about 👉your tax exempt status but not worried about what the God you claim to serve will do to you, for not praying against this and for not moving MY hand to end this. Again there should never be a church service that ends without prayer going forth to end this spirit that has been sent forth to contaminate all that is Holy. The prayers of a righteous man avail much. Lukewarm prayers I don’t hear and I abhor. Either be hot or cold but don’t come to ME lukewarm, for I will spew you out of MY mouth. 🔴*Don’t say you are MINE and not stand up for all that is Holy or remain silent as you see others standing up for Holiness and* getting persecuted for MY sake, and not help them anyway you can for fear of losing your tax exempt status. You will lose more than your tax-exempt status. You will lose more than your lives. You will lose your SOULS. You have been warned. Woe be unto you who have stayed silent far too long. For I hear babies screams. The babies' souls return to whence they came from Heaven. But their souls are ripped out of this world unmercifully. Cruelty beyond words. I allow the souls to leave only to prove man's inhumanity to man. Satan has people sow seed into evil works, evil shepherds that twist MY Words, speak forth messages that do not offend less they suffer financially, or lose their tax exempt status. Or who fear offending the heathens and don't fear offending Almighty GOD YAHUVEH. Woe be unto you. I have raised up ministers who have not worldly wealth but in boldness speak forth MY Words, blessing MY People and ME. 🔴 *But if the world is embracing you when I come, then know this and beware for you're not MY Child, you belong to satan, and* your name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life under the heading redeemed. You are only fit for the judgment and wrath of Almighty GOD YAHUVEH. Hell is what you will see. [ EXCERPTS from Prophecy 95]: *Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware oh sheep and lambs of MINE, of those who puff themselves up with fame and* fortune and fill your airwaves. Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware of 💥those who refuse to preach the Message of repentance, 💥who do not live the life of repentance, refuse to live a life of Holiness, 👉refuse to warn the sinners of sin. Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware, oh sheep and lambs! ☑For these are not MINE and as they betrayed ME before, they betray ME now again! 💥Oh pastors of greed, you know you don't belong to ME! You are a farce! You are a fake! MY SPIRIT'S not in you! I've named the names before through this Ministry! And there's so many more that I have not named. But watch them oh sheep and lambs. Have they sold their soul like a common whore just to get the tax exempt status? Beware, MY sheep and lambs, of those who try to put all the religions together as one! Of the One World Religion! 💥🌎 There is but one YAH. You have but ONE CREATOR. YAHUVEH is HIS Name. Others pronounce it YAHWEH. But there is but ONE. There is but ONE MASHIACH. MY Name is YAHUSHUA. Call ME YAHUSHUA. But don't take the Name YAH out and think you're hearing from MY Spirit. 👉 *Tell them the Ten Commandments [Exodus 20 & 34] still stand. Written by ABBA YAHUVEH's own fiery hand.* 👉 They were written on a tablet of stone, not written on a paper or scroll to be erased or changed. What is sin then is sin now. 💥And beware of any leader that tells you anything different. ☑For the Holy shall become more Holy and the unholy shall become more unholy.

We didn’t make many friends, and we didn’t become involved with volunteer work there. At our new church, we have more connection, more friends, and are more involved in our church body. And the word seems more active here than our old one.

People will lose their jobs, homes, and marriages in a situation like that. It doesn’t bring glory to God overall. I lived this once.

Such a hard thing to do, when these tough topics can be so charged with belief and emotion and personal experiences and political environments! The absolute most important thing is to have actual love and respect for the other. Even when you disagree, consider the most charitable interpretation of what they are saying and why they believe it. Remember to care about the person themselves, and not make attacks or imprecations on their character or past. Listen humbly, and truly look for places their words have merit. Try to fully understand their views, and communicate your convictions in a way to relate to their thoughts, both in commonalities and differences. Open yourself to the possibility of being wrong, if not in whole then in part. Most of all, the Golden Rule. Challenge and question and share with others the way you would want them to do to you. And of course, always being prayerful about what to challenge, how to do so in love, and when to check your pride. Ideally, even if you can't reach agreement in the conversation, they'll leave that day knowing that you're someone who won't dismiss, belittle, attack, or criticize them in disagreement, and you can engage in respectful dialogue again in the future,

Jesus also said that It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. If your church is going to the wrong direction, and you feel it, is it wise to abandon it? If people who want to build His kingdom always go to the "good" churches, how do the "bad" churches change? Instead of only going to good churches, pray for the bad churches in your area, and be the blessed tool in God's hand who helps with fixing it! God bless you all!❤
@NinjaFlibble Жыл бұрын
You do make a good point, but let me ask a question: how would they respond if you told them they were going the wrong direction? If they respond positively; they ask what they're doing wrong and how to fix it--it would be best if you have multiple people with the same disagreement so that it doesn't become a Christian version of a he-said-she-said case. In this situation, yes there's some good you can do there. Not every disagreement is a problem though; whether you and the pastor agree whether the serpent in the Garden of Eden was Satan or not is not the same as if the pastor is saying Jesus and/or God are trans. (There are, unfortunately, pastors who do believe the latter disagreement) But not everyone who is sick wants to be cured in this analogy. Some would at best just ignore your feedback and at worst actively deride and discredit you. Those ones you can't help. You can and should pray for them if God puts it on your heart, but I would recommend finding a better church. I hope this helps answer your question :)

You are correct, bad churches need missionaries just as much as uncontacted tribes halfway around the world do, but it's also true that those missionaries need a way to strengthen their own faith. So if you do go to a bad church for the sake of evangelism, I would argue that you also need to go to a good church to make sure you're not slipping into the teachings of the bad church. It's a difficult undertaking for sure, and it might cause a strain on your schedule. Maybe attend the bad church on Sunday mornings, witness to people then (because from the video, the bad church is unlikely to be meeting any other time), and attend the good church on Wednesday nights.

The members that left, about half of the congregation, we are in the process of starting a new congregation that will teach and practice the word of God. Your prayers are needed for us, that we will not get ahead of Gods leading. We are about two months into the process, and I am finding that it is certainly a faith building period in my life.

When we got older,(6-7 and higher grades) they start to get real with us. Asking questions such as, “Are you being real with yourself?” “Do you truly love god?” “Is this your final choice?” And thus forth. I think those are valuable questions that should be asked.

When Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do YOU say I am?” Simon stepped forward and said “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus responded, “this was revealed to you NOT of the flesh (other people) but the spirit.” And so Jesus said, “You are now Peter, (Peter in Hebrew is Rock) and upon this rock (Peter) I build the foundation of my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. The first recorded mentioning of the word “Catholic” was around 60 A.D., 30 years after the death of Jesus. When the Apostle’s received the Holy Spirit after Jesus’ ascension into heaven, they went and proclaimed his resurrection, creating the largest religious movement ever. This was known as the Catholic Church, and Peter was the head of this church. Jesus also said “I give you the keys to Heaven and earth, whatever you bind in heaven shall be bound on earth (and vise versa) and if you forgive any sin it is forgiven, and if you retain any sin it is retained.” Peter was the first pope, his successors were the Popes of the Catholic Church. We the people ARE his church, and as Christ said, the gates of hell will not prevail against his church and here we are, outlasted every single Empire and ruler to ever exist… The Roman Catholic Church, since 32 A.D. The largest Christian denomination, and the one true bride of Christ (Yes, Jesus calls himself the groom to the bride, his church)

FALSE RELIGION that adds to the bible and teaches heresy like purgatory which isn't in the bible and praying to Mary is idolatry and praying to dead saints is necromancy. You may want to think again.

i mean my current church has me confused. like they show the love of God to people and to others, they have an amazing welcoming church family, there's prayer meetings on sundays, but... some people in our church do believe some sort of false teaching, and my church has never talked about being sinners. i mean they talked about why Jesus died and what not, but they never asked anyone to repent or anything. so i still don't know how to discern if it's a good church or not...

I used to go to a church like that. It wasn't until I found a church that preached repentance, where I heard elders confessing their own sins in my small breakout group at a prayer meeting, that I realized confession and repentance is where all the power of the gospel is.

I'm a seventh day adventist. Reason why is that, when I still was a pentacostal I found out that the Seventh day Adventist church actually is the one who resembles the Bible the closest. For example, we do not recognize the church's authority to change the law of God. And instead of keeping the man-made day of rest holy which Sunday is, we have the original sabbath as our day of rest. The seventh day in the week, just as the Bible teaches.

For Catholics, Matthew 16 18 is a key passage when establishing a biblical basis for the papacy: “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.”

Acts 15 when the church gathers together Peter gives a report of his ministry, Paul gives a report of his ministry, and interestingly James (the brother of Jesus), the head of church at the time, issues the Jerusalem decree. The verse you quoted is referring to Peter’s statement that “You are the Christ the son of God” and on that rock Christ does build His church.

This is bad interpretation on 2 beliefs that are not correct and the one bad interpretation on this video. The Church Fathers canceled out many heresies throughout the early centuries. These are the following corrections: 1) There is only one true church and Jesus left the key with Peter. The Church he left was with the Apostles. The Pope is the head Apostle at that time. The Church Jesus left us has had Apostolic succession from the beginning and had an unbroken chain of Popes from the beginning. The one institution that can declare heresies is the Magesterium - basically Apostles throughout the 2,000 years of the Church's existence. So Jesus did not leave a menu of "bible believing churches" one can join if their twitching ears like. So all the items of the basics of the Church were okay except the last one - @ 3:27 which says "faith alone." Faith alone is one of the Solas of the Protestant beliefs brought into being near the Schism started by Martin Luther in October 31, 1517. This created a Schism an created the man made churches which have over 30,000 denominations (some bringing back heresies and some even believing those 5 other must haves on the video. So this one passage has been used to deny the authority of Peter, Acts 15. This has been rebuked over and over again. It is a very weak argument (or maybe even a misinterpretation). 2) Jesus had no brothers. So James is not a literal blood brother as there is no word for cousin in Hebrew. The Virgin Mary's name is not only a description, but also a title. St. Joseph had consecrated his chastity to God and so had the Virgin Mary. The true Husband of the Virgin Mary is the Holy Spirit. We consider saying Jesus had brothers as blasphemy. Jesus himself said to Lucia one of the 3 kids that the Virgin Mary appear to at Fatima, Portugal. Jesus said to Lucia why a certain devotion he asked for called the 5 First Saturdays. Well Lucia asked why 5 Saturdays. An Jesus exact answer was this: Our Lord told Sr Lucia that the 5 Saturdays represent the offences against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. “My daughter, the reason is simple. There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary: 1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception; 2. Blasphemies against Her Virginity; 3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men; 4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children, indifference, or scorn or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother; 5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images. Here, my daughter, is the reason why the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspired Me to ask for this little act of reparation. . (May 29,1930) So learn that Jesus had NO LITERAL BROTHERS and that THE VIRGIN MARY REMAINED A VIRGIN ETERNALLY once and for all. 3) 3:27 Faith alone is not correct, again declared in the Protestant heresies. This is cherry-picking verses. The often quoted verse for this is wrong for two reasons. One when you read the rest of the chapter it is refuted instantly. Works has always been a teaching of Jesus just look at the Beatitudes. And in many other places. Doing works is how you show God and brothers or neighbors love. People would not want to show empty handed when you meet God. There are two kinds of works in the bible: 1) works of the law and 2) works of love. Works of the law were following Jewish laws. Learn the differences. Lastly, good news Jesus did have cousins. Learn about St. Jude. And also if given a verse in response to a question read the entire chapter, it typically changes their answer. The Holy Bible is the most Catholic book I know. The second one is the Cathecism, but it is based on the bible and Apostolic tradition. You want to know the most important parts of the bible to bring people to the Catholic Church, the Last Supper and specially John 6. Jesus is literally in the Catholic Church specially in the these 3 Sacraments: 1) Confession or Penance 2) Holy Communion 3) Ordination - Holy Orders (like the Levites in the Old Testament) Remember, Jesus left one Church, one Truth (or one true path - John 6). Read the whole book of John. He did not leave a menu of options. May God bless you all and may the Holy Spirit guide you to discern the correct Church. Remember, the Holy Spirit is the only spouse of the Virgin Mary. Watch EWTN's Journey Home for encouragement in finding Jesus and heaven here on earth.

Catholic theology distinguishes between justification and sanctification. Justification is seen as God's declaration of righteousness and the initial grace of salvation, which includes faith. Sanctification, on the other hand, involves the ongoing process of becoming more Christ-like through good works, moral living, and the sacraments. Catholics argue that "By faith alone" oversimplifies the complexity of the salvation process by focusing solely on the moment of justification and neglecting sanctification.

I go to a Catholic Church. We are not always about rules, our priest is actually pretty good. He’s not all “God loves you” he doesn’t tell what we want to hear, he tells us what GOD needs to hear, calling out hypocrisy. Making us question if we go to church because we are Catholic or we love Jesus, kind of telling us what we need to hear. I have been told people have left that church because of how the priest speaks, but maybe it’s because he’s a “truth hurts doesn’t it” kind of guy. Those who won’t listen to the truth are stubborn and cold hearted.
