Church Bashing

[TLHKAJ]

No you weren’t, that’s true. You were quoting devin, who was responding to amigo, who baited Gary.

Oh boy ....I had no clue. Lol

It was a baited down rigger that caught a few fish?

Of course He did. Yet 98% or more of His ministry was outside of a religious building unless you count homes as a religious building. The times He went into the temple or synagogues were to declare the Word, or to rebuke error.

Um . . . you only know the times he went that are mentioned, but I don't really see Jesus' full schedule listed. Why wouldn't He have been in synagogue regularly?

Much love!

Hey I don’t mind if someone is “bashing” me by the way. I can handle it and there’s literally nothing that offends me.
I like everyone here including those who I disagree with. They make for interesting discussions. I like Amigo too … he makes me smile.

Anyway, my OP was really intended rant about "overgeneralizing". Just declaring them all bad.

Much love!

Flee the FALSE ones . the true lambs gather , but not under the false .
But the false are many . I am gonna warn out till my last breath gary . And though it has cost me already
it will soon cost me much more . OH but PRAISE GOD , PRAISE JESUS my end is good .
This world and this life is gonna throw at me as it does , BUT my hope , my strength , my salvation
my righteousness is not of this world , BUT OF CHRIST . And by that grace that put me in that bible
i shall remain in that bible and do all for the sakes of others no matter how hated i am for doing so .
I shun this generations love , its unity , its doctrine to hell fire . The people i pray for and shall warn
but the doctrine is of the devil and thus i shun it and may all do the same .

Hey amigo,

What criteria do YOU use to determine if a church (denomination) is "false"?

We have the account of His Word that He left us with. He hasn't instructed us to add anything to it.

Well, I think perhaps it's beside the point. The synagogues weren't new testament churches like we have today. It really doesn't mean much if Jesus wasn't in them me thinks

I agree, we're talking about something different. But still in a way the same, I think.

Much love!

Lol. Sorry. All the loud screaming about precious lambs and such may have made me cranky.

Or to assume anything we're not really told?

Much love!

Oh you crack me up sometimes…

I learned to skim some posts as they appear to be the same over and over or are too lengthy. Which is one thing I don't like about the Catholic church. They have really the best part of the mass early and then they get into a really repetitious and lengthy Eucharist dedication. Which I think is a bit much and doesn't have to be that involved. I watch it online and sometimes skip the Eucharist dedication. But I still attend and don't skip church.

It's good to look at what's stated in the Word, and then ask Him for clarity. If He wanted us to assemble in a building, He would have said so.

What about the last supper? Bread and wine in the house.

Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

Yeah, I don't see that it has to be indoors, nor not in a tree house, or whatever. Just we can be together.

Much love!

I think it was raining so they had to go indoors.

Soggy bread wouldn't make a good Body of Christ I suppose.

Would it get soggy in the rain…? He could walk on water.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

I will not worship on a boat, I will not worship in a coat, I will not worship on a train, I will not worship in the rain….I will not do it Sam I am.
