JEREMIAH 33:2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. There is no one that will be perfect in this life so don�t expect it. He tells us to go to Him for living life and go to our parents who have lived life. Christ calls the church the rock we need to stand on. 1PETER 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye ; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. Ask yourself who is more important? I can not say this enough, when you realize it�s not yourself you will be making a big step. 2PETER 3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen. Read your bible and find a church were you can learn more and have fellowship with other members of Christ's body. If you're not saved today you can use this as a guide. "Dear heavenly Father I am sorry your Son took the punishment that I deserve? I ask you Christ that you please forgive me of all my sins? I thank you Lord for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.� Tell a pastor at a Christian Church that you have asked Christ for salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship to be a great help as you grow as a Christian.

View Profile History	Advice Posted : 1 Sep, 2015 04:01 PM i will just add this: The true church is the bride of Christ (Revelation 21:2, 9; 22:17) and the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12; 1 Corinthians 12:27). It cannot be contained, walled in, or defined by anything other than its love for Christ and its dedication to Him. The true church is, as C. S. Lewis put it, �spread out through all time and space and rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners.� Post Reply
View Profile History	Advice Posted : 2 Sep, 2015 10:04 PM Hi everyone The 'church' is a business established by men not YHWH, it is an ORGANIZATION, a dead one at that. The body of Yeshua is a living ORGANISM, which Messiah Yeshua is responsible for. The 'pastor' is a self proclaimed position placed by men not Yeshua, the Elders are those which FUNCTION within within the body to OVERSEE the meeting of the saints. These are placed there by Messiah, look thru the entire book of Acts ,not one time is the term 'pastor' used, it is the ELDERS the Apostles talk with. Shalom Study to show yourself........ Post Reply
