I decided it is not right to go to any church that does not accept Jesus as Lord and saviour not to support unless the Lord showed me to. The bible says lead the dead bury dead but you follow Me. Bible says come out of them for sake of rapture. If they want to teach to say word of benefit they are concerned then they should accept Christ as Lord and Saviour or share it online. I will only go if I have to for an event but not to commune with them lest they think I use them.

I think it is wrong to teach you need to sell what you have as it could cause harm for I am not fully convinced for if all did that because it is not guaranteed that enough will obey to help many poor people will not get help that person should only so it is not wrong to store money for as much business to be rich but be rich in good works to give what you don’t need for businesses but incase it is best to do after you have got rich to do good with it and plan to give much to others or even all to be safe except what children need to have future who are also poor. Jesus means by forsake all he has to forsake anyone and anything that seeks to come before Christ to prevent dedicating to Him which includes anything if it is one focus to prevent one dedication to God not if it is not pursued instead of serving God to not serve Him and if thing could be done to help serve God and not prevent serving Him.

I decided not to support divisions as is not just to exhort to encourage repentance that all may be ready before they die and to be raptured incase it happens any time. If others are worried they can trust it. I don’t think I should spend my time practicing supporting Schisms but seek to exhort to live as Christ and live in peace with all men. That all should. I will seek to just learn from any church how I may find how I may do more to serve Him.

Seeing that other Christian’s make divisions and not accept me to give me a chance I decided to follow what I was born into that God may have willed it for me that no one else reached out to me so I should not trust it so I should follow Orthodox Church even if no one accepts me to focus on the faith if no one accepts I will be a monk that I can spend my time in prayer and maybe reach God there so I decided to follow Orthodox Church and seek God perhaps He will show otherwise to guide me.

Not all have to be monks to leave everything but such allows to be His disciple. I don’t think I can make much but perhaps God wants me to spend time with Him to pray and bless my sacrifice to change the world that others give or I may not be isolated to live permanently as a monk but choose to work but live like monk and maybe sometimes take time to live as monk.

I decided I would not follow church but it is safe to preach for everyone to receive Christ as Lord and trust in Him as saviour in case that is necessary as people say and to be raptured if there is. Perhaps if we pray Christ will reveal that all Christian’s can be saved. That to be safe that I think it is right according to scripture that Bible says can put trust only in Him and call no one else teacher.

I should not let other actions stop me from following what I believe is most right and I don’t want to stumble others but to show concern because hell is real and people need to believe to be saved. It would be wrong if people got offended and left the faith for they have no excuse because they can follow what they believe.

Even though some are not serious themselves to care I should not stumble to warn them to show care to all and because others may think some Christian’s not supporting seriousness to not stumble them though they have no excuse because no one has no excuse to leave the faith for he can follow what he thinks is right. If others are worried they can trust Christ but I will not support divisions.

But because people are disrespectful and judge and try to make others unworthy because there is divisions I decided incase to follow Catholic Church only to test it if it can prove that I believe any can be saved even if can’t get to church just to any time try to do if he thinks it is possible but if not need not to but could die before he turns.

A church is supposed to help all people truly to have a love for all to be a house of prayer for all nations that they may know God truly to support what is right and disciple all others to grow to be alive to Be filled with Spirit and not letter of the law to judge to be spiritual people who built a relationship with God to pray so they know how to help all people have a relationship with God to pray that any can come for it to teach the whole way of God without legalism to put burdens hard to bear to hinder people coming without showing them how to walk with God. If they build a strong foundation for all no one can be moved as jesus said about His church the gates of hades will not prevail.

Psalm 27
An Exuberant Declaration of Faith
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!

I decided I will not force to complain that to accept whatever I am given but it is not good to refuse marriage if it is given as may be better path for some to be more fruitful if they do not belong in monastery to be able to be productive there that it may be more productive. I decided to follow Orthodox Church as no one accepts me to just focus on my relationship with God.

I believe it is mistake that church is not true anyway as makes it unreasonable for people not to know if may be hard to get to church and find it impractical that I see there is no benefit that it would not help thought it is sign to follow as can not be married but it is not about that but I will focus on just Christ and preaching Him to preach what protestants preach though I do not believe only they are saved and they can choose just what Christian church they want.

I believe it is not safe for any to take risk incase what others say is true because I know according to scripture Christ is sufficient. I believe all should receive Christ as Lord and saviour and leave judgement of others to Christ to ensure to be saved and to be raptured if there is. Because really it is not right to please man no one has excuse to turn away for if one is worried he can trust in Christ alone. Perhaps if we pray Christ will reveal all Christian’s can be saved.

Though I do not believe I need to that people should understand to show concern to encourage good since others may doubt seriousness if others make division but is wrong I believe I should not support divisions that I believe if there is rapture it will be for all believers following Christ.

I decided I would follow Orthodox Church not to support idea that only they are saved though perhaps within it you are guided to know how to be fully saved on death but that all Christian’s can be saved. If others are worried they can trust only in Christ.

I just did not want to do that though I wanted to make peace that I believe is right because I was troubled and saddened if perhaps any turned away from faith from divisions if I am responsible and was offended to claim I am but I know it would not be my fault though grieved that there is no excuse as they know they have no excuse if to believe others can follow them and I have to look for well being of others.

I believe I should not make divisions to show care just because incase some still may not be serious though there is no excuse to beg people not to leave Jesus and repent as hell is real. They can trust only in Christ if they want if worried. Also I don’t think persons need to be baptised and have communion but if they are worried they can. But it is good to do to test. For I believe it is good to set example to live in peace with all men and exhort to encourage to stir up commitment to serve God.

I think rather since there could be risk that I believe it is most biblical that person puts trust in Christ to save as could die any time that putting that trust may be essential though also if you truly received Christ as Lord and saviour works would be fruit to genuinely do that you would seek to do but if you died then you would be saved. That I believe all should that there is no harm since not judging leaving judgement to Christ but have to speak what may be truth that it would be unreasonable for them to leave Jesus that they could do if they are not sure to trust church to do. Perhaps if we pray Christ will reveal that all Christian’s can be saved.

As much as I wanted to make peace I thought anyway I would be disrespected and people would show disrespect to me maybe to leave faith because they think I am compromising to not show them the truth since still others preach such the fact that it can not be proven wrong they may think that but I believe rather that is just because God gave free will and we should not support wrong to help though people all are responsible as they can follow what they think but we should support unity so I will though I believe others may disrespect me since they may think I look weak to be shamed that I am not telling the truth but I trust in Christ justice.

For though I did not want to because thought I’d be disrespected and worried to be blamed that it may seem I could have caused one to leave faith but that is fault with them and I should still show concern to others that they do not. It is not me anyway that is responsible to be doing so it is the leaders if they are concerned should do and if others are concerned they should but I should show care to all. We should be united serving the Lord that one may be saved if there is rapture. Since others though may not respect to think I am not telling the truth when I preach I can still preach Protestant message if it gives them assurance if they want to follow to be convinced and if not they can follow church.

I believe I need to stick to one faith and since orthodox seems most true and can’t know orthodox is not true it is unreasonable to tell others to leave it that I will focus on being orthodox and following. I know some priests say God is not bound by sacraments and I have not studied all the original fathers said to know that it could be teaching that I will accept it is true that if there are no priests where you are you do not have to travel which I know Catholic Church now teaches as I asked though I don’t know where they get it from from the fathers if it was just invented now yet I will accept that is what church fathers taught even if others do not say that is if there is no priest near by an orthodox may baptise and give communion or if not any may and that as bible says thief was saved so if you can’t but you want to you are saved.

I believe it is not right to take risk as we do not know that as scripture may teach all need to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour that many say it is so all should incase that people should be satisfied to trust in Christ only so people as also church is unreasonable that you can not have assurance now that you are making enough effort to be saved now so should accept to trust in Christ for salvation to ensure saved and to be raptured if there is. Perhaps if we pray Christ will show that all Christian’s can be saved.

I don’t believe it is wrong to consider to be baptised in any church as way to test out of obedience but not to accept it to only trust in Christ as saviour if there is no proof. That you can go to any churches to learn and to test but accept Jesus as saviour. So I decided to visit Catholic Church to be chrismated and learn and also go to Orthodox Church to learn but trust only in Christ as saviour if they do not prove.

I trust as bible says we only need Christ as teacher and we can not afford to be wrong that I should not go to churches that trust in Christ is sufficient and I believe bible teaches need to put trust only in Christ to be saved so people should that there is no need to go to a church though if lucky if you don’t die before you do not intend to trust in Christ only not to be moved you have chance to turn but you may not. So I think people should put trust only in Christ as people say that can not know is not true ensure to be saved and to be raptured if there is. Perhaps if we pray Christ will reveal that all Christian’s can be saved.
