Who is Christ returning for, if not His church? Church buildings will not exist in the life to come, but the church will be more alive than it has ever been!There's no indication in Scripture that the 'Church' will be in the life after this life.
Quite the opposite, thankfully - no 'Church' after this life.
Not according to Scripture, no.Who is Christ returning for, if not His church? Church buildings will not exist in the life to come, but the church will be more alive than it has ever been!
Not according to Scripture, no.
This is partly semantics ..... but sadly not only semantics.....
So what happens to those of us who are trusting in Christ for our salvation if we are not going to be in the life to come?!!!!
I do. This is why I believe that I, along with all others who trust Him, will have eternal life. I am just wondering why you think we won't?Whoever trusts the Son, has (eternal) life;
whoever trusts not the Son, has not (eternal) life.
This is written in Scripture. Believe in Him.
quote me.I do. This is why I believe that I, along with all others who trust Him, will have eternal life. I am just wondering why you think we won't?
I recently started a thread about the pros and cons of having a single, unified, worldwide church, as opposed to the many denominations we currently have. Certainly, when we pass onto the resurrection, we will have a single, unified, worldwide church.
But for the time being, I would suggest that, people being the way they are, a single, unified, worldwide church's objectives would not fully align with the Lord's objectives, and for that reason, the Lord would rather there be denominations. I think the Tower of Babel is suggestive of this.

I don't know how to cook.Who uses commercial sauce ? Make your own healthy .
Amen and amen.A single, world wide church which is institutionally unified in this current sinful age would certainly be frightening.
What makes people think that the church is not unified?
Yes.
The Lord watches over us all the time.I don't think the Lord would be happy with denominations if He returned to take the church away today. Babel like the Law I think was part of our development.
This is very true. He loves the saint but not the sin that is done. I'm not saying that being in a denomination is a sin but large organizations have a way of leading people in ungodly directions.The Lord watches over us all the time.
Yes, I don't know what I'd do without my church, but the church can be painful.This is very true. He loves the saint but not the sin that is done. I'm not saying that being in a denomination is a sin but large organizations have a way of leading people in ungodly directions.
