True Church & Pure Religion

I really appreciate comments on my blogs, thanks cons. Anyway, I want to share to you this, I know this will help clear those doubts in your mind but I just hope you believe in Bible (better if you are using the King James Version). Since you’re a wide reader then I assume you are also reading the word of God. We should let the Bible speak and be not wise with our own eyes (Proverbs 3:7)

GOD BUILD HIS CHURCH ON EARTH

When God (Jesus Christ) humbled himself and became man like us (Phil 2:6-8), He choose twelve apostles to become His helpmates on His ministry on earth (Matthew 10:1-4). On Matthew 16:18, Christ build His church through Peter but Jesus Christ himself was the foundation of it (I Cor. 3:11). He even choose disciples to take care of it (Eph. 4:11-12) and Christ love that church which he hath purchased with his own blood (Acts 20:28). He even compared to it as “One Family” (Eph. 5:23-25, 29, Matthew 12:46-50, Luke 8:19-21). And before Christ return to His throne in heaven, what was one of His instructions? That we should not forsake the assembling (Hebrew 10:25)... and where it is to be done?? Of course in the church (which is called synagogue in the Bible), which Jesus also observed during Sabbath day when He is still in the flesh (Hebrew 4:9-11, Matthew 5:23)

From the verses I’ve mentioned above it is clear that “THERE IS A CHURCH” God left for those who want to be saved. And if you want to know if there is a religion, please read James 1:27 which says, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world”.

yes! as i wrote in my comment the last time i said that i beleive that their is someone who is behind the creation of things, either leaving or none leaving. that is GOD.

i also said that i don't beleive in church and religion, why?

First,for me church is not a material place where u can pray and talk to HIM. its not a place where you can see different people who don't have that proper consciousness where to find God after entering their church.if i want to talk to HIM and find peace of mind i meditate. i let my heart to talk to HIS Spiritual presence not just around us but here in our heart.

Second, religion is sometimes one sided, although they respect each others believe and traditions in praising GOD yet they can't avoid to compare their religion to other. we can't deny that every person has that personality to be always behind to anybody. we all know that religion is an organizations divided into groups, but no differences yet they all claim that they are the right people of GOD.its not a fact but we should accept this truth.

as a young individual i used to preserve my faith in my own way where i can find total enjoyment in GODS company, that is nature.

hi cons! i do respect your belief and i don't blame you if that's your view about religion and church because there are many groups that says they are the truth and you should belong to that church for you to be saved but for us that is not our principle for the truth is found only in Jesus Christ (Eph. 4:21) and you can't be save because of your religion but because you do obey the word of God. Faith without works is dead (James 2:14-17). but i encourage you to search the Scriptures and ask God to show you the true church which He bought with His own blood (Acts 20:28).

Psa 127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except,the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except, the LORD keepthe city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

If Someone buil a church, surely it's fake, what house Gods talking about? 1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long,that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and2 ground of the truth.

The true cChurch your taking about is the Church of the Living God, and why pure religion? eg:Jam 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,To visit the fatherless and widows in1 their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. All teachings in the Church are all from God, and members are doing all Gods will in accodance with the generation.Bec. The Lord speak to us by defferent way in generation by genration.Heb 1:1 God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.

You can not read any other churhes in the bible except the Church of God, If your not cleave to what which is good, you are bad, what is GOOD? only found in Church of God. 1 Cor. 1:1-2, 2 Cor.1:1, 2 Thes. 1:1;4, 1 Thes 2:14, Efeso 3:10. IF WE ARE REALY READING THE SCRIPTURE, JOHN SAY'S in 1Jo 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. Who are them to have our fellowship? John is in the Church of God, he wrote what he has seen, heared.

All teachings in the Church are all from God, and members are doing all Gods will in accordance with the generation Bec. The Lord speaks to us by different way in generation by generation. Heb 1:1 God who at sundry times and in divers manners speak in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.

No other religion is pure than the ONE built by GOD through CHRIST JESUS," Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;. the foundation being said in"MAT.16:18 is jesus christ not peter, because apostles are chosen and part of the church, not a foundation.1Co 12:28 And God hath set some, in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Why until now, nothing respose to my comment, Only church of God is the true and pure relegion. I'm waiting to show me according to the bible the true relegion not according to anyone...

thanks to God
