Im not here to bash anyone. But i have a question. Why do I need Catholicism, EO, or any church who claims to be the true church? I know the Lord's commands and i dont need the doctrines of catholicism or other churches. So why does anyone need it? Doesn’t it only divide us? Shouldn't we take a more simplistic approach in order to have one mind in Christ?
Me and Jesus have it worked out.
But I'm the church.
I read it. I just read it again to see if I missed anything. Please answer the question. Why isn't my faith enough? Are you saying that my faith is ineffective?
I'll flee alright. From this forumFlee whatever diseased devil is lying to you.

Jesus told us He will build His Church. Jesus told us His Church is Visible, One, Authoritative.Im not here to bash anyone. But i have a question.

I built my house on a rock. Matthew 5-7Jesus told us He will build His Church. Jesus told us His Church is Visible, One, Authoritative.
So, go find His Church.
The problem with the church, and people in general, is that sin allows for error. Many people in churches, now and in the past have given into sin, thus taught error, to justify their sins.I'm just telling people the only way to unity.
It is important to find a church.I built my house on a rock. Matthew 5-7
Isaiah 66:1
Thus says the Lord:
“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
“But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
Why would I want to join a church that fits my needs? Everyone just chooses their own church? Everyone is divided but that's ok? So the church becomes like us instead of us being like the church?It is important to find a church.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
When I went looking for churches, I would visit them all for a few weeks, and just see which one felt "right". Or you could write a list of the key doctrines you believe, and send it to churches asking what they think of it, and see if you can find one that fits you. Find the one that is the closest fit.
No church is 100% perfect. Is there such a thing as a perfect human? Our job is obedience. God commands us to have fellowship with one another.Why would I want to join a church that fits my needs?

So I'm supposed to learn from imperfect teacher's? Why? I have a Bible. God commanded us to stay away from people who dont follow the truth. If I'm supposed to not sin how is joining an imperfect church going to help?No church is 100% perfect. Is there such a thing as a perfect human? Our job is obedience.

God commanded us to follow Christ not imperfect churchsNo church is 100% perfect. Is there such a thing as a perfect human? Our job is obedience. God commands us to have fellowship with one another.
Our job is obedience to Christ the Lord. The Romans swear to obey each other, but this is not that which Christ the Lord has asked of us. Happily, God has weakened the power of that swearing, and that weakening has accelerated over the last centuries.No church is 100% perfect. Is there such a thing as a perfect human?

According to the apostolic teaching (Eph 5:29-32) of Jesus Christ (Lk 10:16), his church is the body of Christ, composed of all the born again.Jesus told us He will build His Church. Jesus told us His Church is Visible, One, Authoritative.

Correct. All that are Baptized are members of His Body, which is the Church.According to the apostolic teaching (Eph 5:29-32) of Jesus Christ (Lk 10:16), his church is the body of Christ, composed of all the born again.
Only the sovereignly (Jn 3:6-8) born again of the Holy Spirit are in the kingdom of God (Jn 3:3-5).Correct. All that are Baptized are members of His Body, which is the Church.
