I’m new here. I was raised Roman Catholic, but I am no longer attending Mass. I have a few issues with the RC Church, so I am hesitant to resume attendance. At the same time, I feel urged by the Holy Spirit to go back to church -- SOME church. So now I’m searching for a new home, and want to learn more about the dogma of other churches. I presume I will be welcome here – not for debate but rather to learn. But I will probably be just dropping in from time to time as I explore other churches as well. Thanks for your patience with me.

billvelek, this group was formed because originally they weren't wanted elsewhere & I have always found them to be very welcoming of other denominations as we have to be because while both Quakers & Mennonites hold to non~violence & are *peace churches* they differ theologically on almost every other point. Quakerism, almost by definition, accommodates great diversity of theological thought. :)

Yhvh gives the promise to everyone everywhere, except where He says there are exceptions , if there are any exceptions. (there are conditions, and guidelines, and so on - Yhvh is Righteous, Just, Perfect, and Knows Everything. people keep messing up).

the promise - "whoever" seeks Me (Yhvh, the Creator), finds Me(Yhvh, the Creator).

a condition (one of them) - "whoever puts their trust in man(flesh/mankind/religion/ themselves) , I(Yhvh, the Creator) curse"

i.e. can't ask Yhvh for help, or seek Yhvh, and trust someone else at the same time - He set the rules in place once for all, and has not changed them.

the good - little children can find Yhvh. (and have, ever since)

the hard to realize - few ever find Yhvh.

also hard to realize - Yeshua praised Yhvh the Creator (out loud in front of others) for hiding salvation from the (________________ and the ________________ and the ____________________) .
and for revealing salvation and all that pertains to salvation and life now and for eternity
to (______________). (this is good, fun, and edifying and helpful). (an aroma of life to those who trust Yeshua; the same message an aroma of death to those who reject Yeshua).

there are good churches out there but few of them are the large ones. the best churches to join are those that follow the bible. many churches you have to watch out for because they get into worrying about what the people want and forget about what God wants. find a church that puts God first, and has gifts of the Spirit working within the church. there're other considerations but those are the 2 major ones for me.

God bless
