Admin	Why Christians Shouldn't belong to Demoninations? Posted : 21 Oct, 2009 05:59 AM 1 Corinthians 11:18 �For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19 �For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. It would seem to me since there is only One God, one faith, and one spirit, and with over 3,000 divisions within the body of Christ that would mean we have over three thousand heresies. Is that correct? Since God has one way and man has many ways. 1 Corinthians 1:10 ��Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. Evidently, everyone does their own thing and God comes in last with His will for believers to be speaking the same thing and being perfectly joined together in the same mind and the same judgment. The non Christian world must see Christianity as a joke. What do you think? Post Reply

Posted : 25 Oct, 2009 06:15 AM Tomlane, So I am a heretic yet again??? hehehe First of all, my post is full of scriptural allusions, although I do not quote anything in extenso. But surely you have noticed my references to passages like Romans 14, 1Corinthians 12, John 17, Ephesians 4 etc. Secondly, what do you mean by unity? Sorry, but I think you need to expand on (i.e. interpret :) the scriptures which you quoted. Would we, in your opinion, have to believe exactly the same thing about everything and to do things in the exact same way before we can call one another brothers and sisters? But let me not put words in your mouth. And concerning interpretation... I believe that we are to love God with all of our renewed minds in Christ and that he has given us his Spirit in order that he may reveal treasures hidden in god's written Word. And again, I would urge you to think of the body image which Paul uses in 1Corinthians 11-15 and you might realize that I may not be so much astray as you would have me portrayed. Aceets Post Reply

If someone is interpreting something differently now, that's fine as long as they truly believe it. But there will come a time when the truth God's people are supposed to be believing in will be extremely obvious, and the ones that don't accept it won't be making it to heaven. :peace::peace: Post Reply
