If you were given a choice between following Christ or the church, which would you choose..
Doesn't the Church follow Christ?If you were given a choice between following Christ or the church, which would you choose..
Well, this is kinda rhetorical question, it seems. Of course, the answer is Christ. BUT I have run into a good number of people who like their church and will stay with it even over what the Bible says! Maybe not so rhetorical after all.
Interesting post!I would follow the Holy spirit. One in the same. I know, but still different.
I will not vow my loyalty to any church.
There are things in the bible that I cant explain nor comprehend. If I say I follow Christ, then I will be following how I can percieve/define things from the text and whoever translated it at whichever time. I'm not comfortable with that. The spirit though, is different. I have no control over it. It just is, and hopefully I can stay on path as I should to be able to feel it's leading.
I know that wasnt an option, but I couldn't really say one answer or another without explaining.
Maybe I should have asked .. how many have vowed loyalty to the church at all costs.I would follow the Holy spirit. One in the same. I know, but still different.

Christ = the Church.If you were given a choice between following Christ or the church, which would you choose..
How big must the belief difference be before you obey the call out.
