What is the one true Church?

[Taken]

Something struck me in my own heart this morning.
I am an American. I am very Patriotic. I stand with the national anthem and I pledge alliegence to our flag.
none of us are immune to idolatry to one extent or another.

I pledge allegience to a particular country and it's policies.
But in TRUTH my allegience is to God and His word Alone.

My perspective is clearer now.
This world can't save us no matter how much allegience we give to it.

I don't mean to offend anyone.
It's just that things are becoming more serious, and we need to be not so ignorant of what we do.
We have all been indoctrinated into the ways of the world, in ways we don't always see.

Hugs

I have a FAITH allegiance to the Lord God Almighty, to whose Kingdom I am a citizen.
I have a STATE allegiance to the Sovereign State in which I am a citizen.
I have a NATION allegiance to the Country in which I am domiciled.
(I live IN this World, but am NOT OF this World.)

IN that ORDER. ^^

Each has an EXCLUSIVE LIMITED set of RULES/ LAWS/ Standards/ Principles.

My FAITH allegiance....is LIMITED by WHAT Gods Word has Established IS RIGHTEOUS.

My STATE allegiance....is LIMITED by a Constitution.

My NATION allegiance...is LIMITED by a Constitution.

All day long....men Supersede:
* Gods limits of Righteousness.
* States .... Constitutions.
* Nation .... Constitutions.

IF a man DOES NOT KNOW the LIMITS, of EACH, he certainly can be....
Tricked, Coaxed, Prodded, Threatened, Ear tickled, to go along with Anti-Christ, Anti-God, Anti-Constitutional, notions, ideas, plans, etc.

Knowledge IS KEY.
Understanding the Knowledge IS PARAMOUNT.

Glory to God,
Taken

Thank you.:) At least we now have evidence of anti-Protestant bigotry. You and BoL one and the same are now unable to play the victim card.

Thank you again.

You'll be in confession for the above hate screed of course .
Of course .

If only it was that simple.

It is.
False pagan idolatrous cult is not of God. RCC members are led to their doom at infancy for the most part.
. May God show mercy.

“What is the right denomination?”

the ones truly saved called the body of Christ

 

[amigo de christo]

Granted that there has been a lot of bad blood between the Catholics and Protestants and at times rightly so.
And how many different approaches to Christianity do we have now?
As it is today the Catholics are different than the Protestants but all live in glass houses with their own mounting sins piling up on them as they throw stones at each others denomination.....not smart....not Christian.

The Jews look at the Christians and believe they are idolaters because they worship false gods.
The Christians try to say that they worship only have one God....that Yahweh, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit are one God....the Jews do not buy it.
The Protestants accuse the Catholics of Idolatry and rituals and their efforts to keep Christ Church one.
The Catholics see the advent of the Protestants as a direct attack on Christ and His Church.
They all have a ton of false beliefs and sins.
The Protestants used the Bible to fracture Christianity into tens of thousands of denominations. Which proves 500 years later and tens of thousands of attempts they can not figure the Bible out.
Do you think that Christ would agree with fracturing the Church.
It has got to the point that if you talk to a Protestant about one faith it is sacrilegious to them. How serious are the sins of fracturing the Christian faith?

I call my ministry the Johnny Appleseed of Truth and over the years I have found that truth is not popular. So many hold so many false beliefs near and dear to their faith while throwing rocks at others. The truth offends people of all denominations because of the desire for false beliefs.

Would Christ tell us to get along? With so many....so many Christian denominations that have yet to get it right....should they show a little more humility due to their own failings and be a little more tolerant of other Christian beliefs?

According the the apostles themselves they said to flee men who teach falsehoods .
There are and still is a remnant who have not bowed the knee to the error or ROME
nor the errors within the protestant realm either . Unity with those who love and follow CHRIST
not unity with those who seduce and teach falsehoods .
And i have real bad news they are all over the protestant realm big time .
And Rome has long been in dire trouble .
A call to unify with THOSE who truly love CHRIST in sincerity , not with false teachers of the blind
who have long ago crept into many places and have taken many men and women captive to lies
and now to the grand lie which will gather them all , as well as even the other false religions
as well as even secular folks . The delusion to unify the world , faiths within christendom and the religions
has grown huge now . EVER wonder why GOD said dont be unequally yoked .
CAUSE IF YOU ARE YOU WILL FALL . THIS IS WHY churches are falling faster and faster for lies and for the grand lie .
the LIE of the great delusion the very mystery of inquity which has long been at work
has now morphed huge under the umbrella that it is light , love , unity and of GOD . WHEN ITS NONE OF THAT at all .
IF folks get unequally yoked up in churches of false leaders under the false unity , THEY GONNA FALL .
GOD says everything for a reason . TO KEEP US SAFE and GROWING . we better heed and learn the doctrine .

THIS DIVISION, was ( And IS to this day )...
*) A DIVISION Between JEWS with Jesus and JEWS without Jesus.
*) A DIVISION Between GENTILES with Jesus and GENTILES without Jesus.

Thank You

Sound it out . For many have bought a lie which has caused them to be UNEQUALLY YOKED .
and as you well know that will cause those who do so to FALL BIG TIME .
JESUS did not come to bring peace on earth but rather division .
This call for unity with darkness is a call we cannot unite with .
Our job is to EXPOSE darkness by THE LIGHT , by sound doctrine , by walking in the SPIRIT
by all bible doctrine which makes one wise unto salvation through faith in Christ .
Unity is for THOSE whether jew or gentile WHO TRULY FOLLOW CHRIST . UNITY with those who do not
causes a soul to fall . GOD KNOWS this and we must HEED and BELIEVE HIS EVERY WARNING , HIS EVERY WORD .
OR fall folks will .

So the torch was handed over to Paul instead.
Thus in this case Peter himself is the prodigal son.
Paul who was Saul given a mission from Rome to destroy all christians (another HINT btw) is the one converted and sent to feed Jesus' sheep.

It is incorrect to regard St. Paul as some kind of spiritual “lone ranger,” on his own with no particular ecclesiastical allegiance, since he was commissioned by Jesus Himself as an Apostle.

• In his very conversion experience, Jesus informed Paul that he would be told what to do (Acts 9:6; cf. 9:17).
• He went to see St. Peter in Jerusalem for fifteen days in order to be confirmed in his calling (Galatians 1:18),
• and fourteen years later was commissioned by Peter, James, and John (Galatians 2:1-2, 9).
• He was also sent out by the Church at Antioch (Acts 13:1-4), which was in contact with the Church at Jerusalem (Acts 11:19-27).
• Later on, Paul reported back to Antioch (Acts 14:26-28).
• Acts 15:2 states: “. . . Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.”
• The next verse refers to Paul and Barnabas “being sent on their way by the church.” Paul did what he was told to do by the Jerusalem Council (where he played no huge role),
• and Paul and Barnabas were sent off, or commissioned by the council (15:22-27), and shared its binding teachings in their missionary journeys: “. . . delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem” (Acts 16:4).

The Jerusalem Council certainly regarded its teachings as infallible, and guided by the Holy Spirit Himself. The records we have of it don’t even record much discussion about biblical prooftexts, and the main issue was circumcision (where there is a lot of Scripture to draw from). Paul accepted its authority and proclaimed its teachings (Acts 16:4).

Furthermore, Paul appears to be passing on his office to Timothy (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 1:6, 13-14; 2 Tim 4:1-6), and tells him to pass his office along, in turn (2 Tim 2:1-2) which would be another indication of apostolic succession in the Bible.

The attempt to pretend that St. Paul was somehow on his own, disconnected to the institutional Church, has always failed, as unbiblical. Protestant frown upon institutions, but we Catholics rather like the Church that Jesus Christ set up, initially led by St. Peter.

Has GOD really said ye cannot be unequally yoked . NAY nay says the serpent
God calls for unity , for love , for tolerance .
THEY fall for his voice every time . but lambs DO NOT .
For lambs seek the LORD and are diligent in their walk , testing all men against ALL which was written and recorded in that bible .
They holler coexist . but since when can LIGHT COEXIST WITH DARKNESS
We are not to sit at the table of Christ and of belial
We are not to drink the cup of Christ and of a harlot .
WE must follow CHRIST and learn the doctrine inspired of GOD very well . For many
have no desire for Christ . Rather they desire an image of Christ which serves their own lusts .
If a church wont correct leaven IT WONT MAKE IT , IT WONT ENDURE it will leaven UP .
And yet they holler accept all , preach not against their sins , just love them .
IF that worked , HOW COME under their ways in the last twenty years or so HAVE SO MANY CHURCHES
FALLEN and keep getting worse . reason . IT DONT WORK IS WHY .
WHEN correction is silenced satan knows leaven will take over and this is why he brought that right into our churches .
And most leaders were so fast to just go with the flow of this ever changing world and this new evangelism .
Satan knows very well the minds of men and he knows very well HOW to seduce them all into a lie .
We must stick to CHRIST , in HE ALONE we can resist the lies of the enemy . march on my friend .
Times will only get worse and fast as the grand delusion takes hold of all not in the lambs book of life .
And with one mind , one heart and one voice they will soon come full force against those who conformed not to the lie
to the image of their god of love . Which is and was the dragon . ITS GONNA GET WORSE and fast too .
We fear not man , we fear not death , we fear not what man can do to us . JUST preach CHRIST and all sound doctrine .

You write "God calls for unity, for love, for tolerance ", so why don't you obey Him? Stop the self-righteous condemnation oof the body of Christ!!!

 

[Ziggy]

Wrong. Peter was given the authority to bind and loose. It has nothing to do with divinely revealed truths. Binding and loosing is a Rabbinical term: on the authority of the Chair or Seat of Moses,

I'm not even going to go there...

 

[amigo de christo]

Once again you are attacking the body of Christ, His church! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

The body of Christ dont preach there are many ways to GOD . i wont sit at their table .
And you better not either .
The body of Christ does not sit under the body of darkness .
The leaders in most , i said most , churches have FAILED the people .
THEY have sold out to the lie for unity with darkness and they sit at the table of the mother of darkness , the harlot
and do her fathers will who is the dragon . THIS breaks my heart for them .
But i know What GOD has said and taught , so i wont be unequally yoked .
We must point to Christ , to biblical doctrine . true unity will not overlook truth for unity . ANY UNITY
that does so is not COMING FROM GOD . It coming from he who has always desired to be as GOD . the dragon .

 

[Jim B]

Peter was the only one of Jesus disciples whom he called "Satan", the only one he called a stumbling block, and the only one who denied him three times.

 

[amigo de christo]

You write "God calls for unity, for love, for tolerance ", so why don't you obey Him? Stop the self-righteous condemnation oof the body of Christ!!!

That was the serpent saying GOD calls for that in order to seduce them into being unequally yoked .
Go read it again . satan is the author of disobediance to GOD .
AND GOD and the apostels said DONT BE UNEQUALLY YOKED . THEY said it for a reason .
YOU will fall .
The problem with this generation is , it has sat under men for years upon years
who never truly knew Christ . They ever changed the churches from within .
Till now most folks in christendom have no idea what they have lost , let alone that they are STILL LOST .
Paul knew what was coming , so did peter , specially CHRIST .
Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing SHOULD have been paid attention too as well as ER word of the LORD .
But men sat under men who taught them lies for years and worse it kept getting .
Leaven began to be overlooked more and more in churches and the worse they got
they began to call it good and those who warn BAD . Yall got no idea what has happened .
And out of love for you and them i must warn till the end my friend in hopes some will hear and repent .
Believe me , if i was in this for personal glory and recognition from men , I SURE would not say what i say .
ITS not about that for me . ITS about SOULS . THUS i will point to CHRIST and all biblical sound doctrine .

You did say one thing that is correct: "we must point to Christ, to biblical doctrine." (spelling and punctuation corrected).

 

[Ziggy]

I'm not even going to go there...

Ok I will:

Mat 23:1
Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Mat 23:2
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
Mat 23:3
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Mat 23:4
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
Mat 23:5
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Mat 23:6
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

 

[amigo de christo]

Peter was the only one of Jesus disciples whom he called "Satan", the only one he called a stumbling block, and the only one who denied him three times.

And peter repented . THESE leaders DONT . And once peter was SPIRIT FILLED
he never DENIED CHRIST AGAIN .
HE became a good leader of the Church . Just like paul did , just like james .
THEY all exposed false hoods , sin , error . NOT TODAY , today from these so called leaders
its At the very least , OVER LOOK it and at the worst they HONOR IT . ITS getting worse JIM .
Not better . WORSE under their leadership . The lambs must not partake of that table of their false unity..
\RATHER have UNITY with those who DO LOVE CHRIST who do preach SOUND doctrine
WHO DO correct error in the church . WHO DO all for sakes of their brethren . AND TRUE UNITY
does not overlook the pattern of CHRIST or the apostles for unity . IT DONT take away
from that original pattern for all things . THESE DO . THEY overlook sin , they wont correct certain SINS anyway .
THEY just keep hollering , LOVE AND UNITY . THEY aint gonna make it JIM . I pray they do repent .
But on the path they are on they are in darkness being led to even greater darkness and fast and yet they call it LIGHT .

 

[amigo de christo]

my advice to you is BEWARE the JUDGMENT OF GOD upon those who fail to warn the people
and just allow them to sit under any false leader . GO read revelation and learn a bit my friend .
DOCTRINE MATTERS and so does allowing a false one to teach . GOD was angry at that church
for even allowing , ALLOWING a false one to teach and to seduce the people .

Rev 2:12
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Rev 2:13
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Rev 2:14
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Rev 2:15
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Rev 2:16
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Rev 2:17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
