Official statements are great, and informal, more popularized ones can also be very helpfull for those wanting the basics.
I have gained more of a blessing at times reading content in links that were posted by users here than in back and forth discussions. So post your material!
Please indicate what faith you are, provide the link, and then I will try to re-post all of them in this first post. And please, do not post for any other faith. Deceit is against Christian principles. I hope all of this is acceptable to the moderators as well. And any moderator who wants to help maintain the list by editing this post, feel free! NOTE: to make the list easier to read, and more uniform give the liinks in the following format: Church name Link Link description Link 2Link2 description

Just a quick question, but is there a denominational affiliation here? I don't mind giving independent sites, but I would like some description please.
Thanks

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No, I'm not currently a member of either, although I was a member of the Church of Christ all through my youth and went to a CofC college...so in my heart, I will always be a member, I think. But, I'm not on the membership books of either.
But it's a good gatekeeper idea- that way, no weird, false information about a denomination can spread. Excellent!

The Roman Church put God in a box in the steple house, but now whole Churches are traped in little boxes, and are dying going thought the same thing every Sunday, traped in a tradition.
I visited one today it was like going to the dentist, I could not wait to get out, I love the church, but I can not go back to that. For me now church has to be outside of the four walls, if I find others to worship with on not, but I can not go back.
I love Jesus and His Church, but if the Church dose not get back to book of Acts preaching and new testament worship,that church will die. |

Sir, you may wish to make a different topic to take up such a discussion. I am sure you would get some comments. But it is beyond the scope of this thread. This is just for posting links to church's statements of their belliefs.
