I decided not to support divisions as should not support what is not just to help witness to help because to show seriousness though others should take seriously. But I will focus mostly to seek a church that does not put wrong burdens to make salvation seem out of reach only to preach the word of God to help others that all should focus on turning to God to obey the word of God that persons only need to seek to repent to do so to ensure to be saved and raptured if there is or protected from trial.

Despite I not believing it I must not take risk if it will harm me and mislead others for only Christ knows saying there is a way which seems right to man but it leads to death so people should all put their trust in Christ finished work to receive salvation as a gift that works are not needed lest one boasts because repentance is always acceptable that it is the heart but works are only needed if can do for it shows you have received Christ as Lord and saviour. So people should to ensure to be saved and to be raptured if there is and we can pray if perhaps Christ will show all Christian’s can be saved.

I don’t believe anyway it is just to judge people from church so I won’t support it that I do believe God wants us to have faith because it may affect others. I don’t believe it is right to judge other Christian’s but there are divisions in church so I think to follow only Orthodox Church fully if can think to learn but I think it is probably not required. I will also go to Catholic Church just to benefit if can learn from them though I do not support doctrine that I follow orthodox path to think more right though I don’t think there should be divisions but do follow orthodox incase that I believe is right to that unless they prove it seems most right to me and is not required to any if they could not prove.

I did only want to follow church because I thought perhaps it would help if I accept the faith to be guided and because I did think perhaps if I go to Orthodox Church I might be able to get married and even if not I would show they do wrong to reject but I believe it is wrong even to follow anything when I do not know it is true and they should accept me with my beliefs that I can go to any church to learn but persons should be born again incase that bible is only truth for bible says person should put trust only in Christ not to lean on understanding and He will show what so I think people should be born again as we are told should and we can pray for Christ to show if true all Christian’s can be saved if we pray enough.

I saw a video I did take part from that shows why it is important to be born again that I want to share though I know is copyrighted perhaps YouTube automatically checks not them that they should accept to share if helpful that I take just part that I will seek to upload.

I believe actually it is right to have faith because should not offend others though they are responsible to obey but doing so may lead others to be less serious and I should not support the error of people discouraging the need to do Christ commandments which includes to serve Christ with talents given not needing to do everything you can but seek to use talents to make profit is best but not needed except to do anything at all you can to profit.For we are not saved by works in the sense of needing to do something great instead of what one knows one is easy to do and ought to do and living right to watch to repent is important the meaning of the parable of the virgins though repentance at any time is acceptable.

I do not believe there should be divisions but I decided to follow Orthodox Church so others can know I am doing best to learn and because it would seem safest to some and go to Catholic Church as I said before just to benefit if can learn from them though I do not support doctrine that I follow orthodox path to think more right though I don’t think there should be divisions but do follow orthodox incase that I believe is right to that unless they prove it seems most right to me and is not required to any if they could not to not be required to any whom they never proved and do not now.

Church claims that through it it has power to prepare one and save and to be protected so people might as well do to see. He seems to say some might quote him as they think he meant only to require such in early church as they had seen signs to know truth so needed to be United to one church but I think God may have allowed a tradition in early church to prevent divisions or he is purposely divisive seeing how God helps Christian’s united but His word shows otherwise that God accepts and desires unity and you only need Him. He may have just said it is true that when any 2 Christian’s come together they are greatly helped in support as Jesus said if they do He will answer for help.

There are many who are antichristian to plan to bring tribulation soon but for those who have Holy Spirit and constantly build themselves in their most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit which is just to have peace and destroy work of Satan which some think you need to be baptised and have sacraments to do so but I don’t think so but people should all do incase for such the bible says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I believe it is not wise to ignore others who prophecy incase true because rapture could happen soon and many judged and bible does seem to support salvation only by trusting in what Christ did that works are only to be evidence you have for if one was not seeking to do work then he never received the Lord Jesus for Him to be Saviour and such works would be done if you were seeking if you did not die. It is not that one needs to do works to earn but if one is not seeking to do works when there is need to do one is not repenting then. God gave others chance to come just to confess Christ and if can’t if not yet at moment of death when you know you will die to call upon to trust in Jesus.

For the bible teaches trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and call only Him teacher and that after Christ has come we no longer need a tutor for we are all sons of God by faith so since Christ is sufficient one should put trust in Him alone and ask Him to guide. So I believe all Christian’s should put trust in Christ alone and perhaps if we pray Christ will show all Christian’s can be saved. I may visit people in churches that help me just to show care and also to show it knows not better and encourage that those who go to churches who have already been baptised to be born again that I believe others should receive Christ as Lord and saviour so if they see me they should know by me saying now I support that that I believe that and they should.

I don’t believe there should be divisions that if there is rapture it should happen for all but I decided I will follow Orthodox Church and follow it to see if it helps to prove just to focus on relationship with God and also seek to be rebaptised and chrismated in Coptic Catholic Church just to prove it does not benefit at all. Also I would like to be baptised in a church of christ if I can find one with baptism pond.

I believe it is not wise to take risk actually because unfortunately others seem to be more right I believe and to know the rapture could happen soon so I believe all Christian’s should put their trust in Christ alone to ensure to be saved and to be raptured if there is and pray more if perhaps if Christ will show all Christian’s can be saved. As this video shows he thinks or says rapture shows it will happen august because there will be a peace treaty signed soon in Middle East for 7 years. I don’t know if any has ever been 7 years. I could go to churches just to prove but may not be wise if tribulation happens first so I will only go though I do not think others should but just to prove if it is clear such prophecies are not true. The only thing to worry about rapture deception if people seek to go to any place to be raptured which is wrong that rapture will happen by itself.

I decided I would trust God not to support divisions to encourage one another to be ready. If others are worried they can trust in Christ.That if there is rapture it can happen anytime and we need to be in Christ repenting to seek to obey Jesus.I don’t believe one needs to sell all their possessions except what they do not see they have need to support their life and children to do any business which is encouraged to do as with parable of talents to do more and it is important that you are not first seeking riches.

For if you are not serving God because you can not serve God and mammon because you will be distracted if you are focusing on riches that you don’t give what is proper to God and you must not love money so that your focus is on possessions that you don’t give God all the time that is proper.We should not discourage church attendance to help make others accountable if they know that they must do their job and to encourage all to be loyal to local church to help others and to encourage others to do good

I believe God wants us united and it is right to trust in Christ as He wants it saying a kingdom divided will not stand. That is could lead to offenses the salt losing its flavour that the world could take offense seeing how others treat others people in churches could lose interest though they have no excuse as all that matters is what Jesus taught that people are responsible to Him and can leave to Him not judge for sure. Paul says we should strive to keep the unity of the Spirit in peace. I am settled now just to trust in Christ. Such divisions are petty and not worthy to divide the body of Christ and I will not.

I thought of wanting to see what is in the world because I thought others may consider me extremist to be legalistic to make Christianity unattractive and without knowing irrelevant but they know already and I should not compromise incase as the bible says if any love the world the love of the Father is not in him. Updating this as I did want to follow that but but I do not think it is right that I should do to help learn culture to talk more and pray more when I know culture of world as we are told to be salt of the earth in knowing how world is being influence to understand how world thinks that influence others to tell others. I am doing now as not yet become independent to know skills to pay enough to support my health daily that is chance to find if important and do not believe it is loving the world if it does not rule my heart but will not do later that is chance to see but if I find it not helpful and hindrance to being close to God will stop.

Also I decided it is safest to teach that a follower of Christ must sell all he has to follow Christ as early church did to trust in Christ for daily bread but that does not mean sell parents money but your own that you make alone not from parents that I will give money of my parents to siblings but not to encourage them to live for money here but to support others until they can.

I can not force and Jesus said to count the cost that you have to do only when you have skills to be able to provide help when you can support yourself that when you have skills God promises will provide work to help. I think that explains the video by end time survivor group what if we all did it except they believe they don’t need to work for money at all but that is not possible unless they seek donations from others but I don’t want to as Paul said he laboured not to be a burden.

I do have some doubts because that may be what government wants to make us have nothing but I decided will follow anyway that I think right for though one will suffer no one is ever beyond God mercy to help him.

I also decided I will not get married to not seem selfish as others did not get married for God sake though I had worries people take advantage of my situation when I sin to make fun I will tolerate that is their sin.

I believe it is wrong to take risk if can’t know that bible does teach one does not need works just what one can do and it seems it may not require to seek to sell all things though might so should do that it may be necessary that person receives Christ as Lord and saviour to ensure to be saved and to be raptured if there is. I just believe it is most wise to do while there is divisions that all Christian’s should accept to be united as bible says to trust only in Christ when one does not know that He promises to lead and that maybe by our prayers we can find truth.

Jesus Christ our saviour and lord is my only church. It serves me well laying in my bed, praying in deep thought, walking with my dog talking openly, slouched over my sofa and holding my crucifix,deeply thanking Christ for saving me, in my car on the way to work, sat in my garden, sat on a park bench……where Jesus is, there will your church be also.

God bless you all

I still think that we all should go to a church or start one because of the fellowship. Not neccessarily the fellowship with men but rather God. When a lot of souls come together and worship God in concert it is a corporate worship wich I think is more pleasing to God than single man worship.

When there is corporate prayer focused on a single topic It has to be a more powerful prayer than a singl prayer, right? It's louder in heaven.

I'm still chewing on this but that's what I think. That said, I don't even have a church I call my own right now. I should.

I agree and it is helpful to keep accountable but I believe one can still follow Christ alone if he has understanding but he might not so should go to church to ensure he does. Assembling can be online but perhaps others in a church are more mature to know better if you don’t find fully knowledgeable people and assembling is good as Paul says purpose to stir up love and good works to help those in community who go there and have chance to help encourage others to implement a plan together to do more good works to help others in church and community.

I believe I should get married as if not people can just use situation to disrespect others in struggle and I do not put people off the hook for evil treatment of me even if not judged which I don’t know they are not for not accepting they will have less reward if they die before being sorry of not doing and they are not good people to expose most Christian’s as not very good people and heartless enemies to doing good that they seek to do bad.

I believe it was mistake just because of being fearful that Christ wants us united because doing such can make people be offended to be less serious for it is distraction though they ought to trust and obey Christ and also those who are not in Christ who are of the world see how we treat one another to see we are divided among ourselves to show we do not support what is good to offend them and makes salt it loses its flavour. If others are worried they can trust only in Christ but I will not support divisions.

I decided it is wrong to allow fear and other opinion to cause divisions that as Christian’s we should be united so I will teach all Christian’s can be saved as long as they have repented to call on the Lord Jesus as they have chance. If others are worried they can trust only in Christ but I do not support such divisions for I believe all should be united to seek to do that not to cause distractions that they may be ready if there is rapture or before they die.
