Got two subjects I want to speak on...First, I`m married now, so all the women that I tried to connect with in the past, time ran out! Second, ya`ll homosexuals, o LORD, u homosexuals...Read Leviticus Chapter 18, and Romans Chapters 1 & 2. There r things u all do to make the Bible fit ur lifestyle and that is so wrong. Ur tearing the very fabric of the Word of God! It is true that God loves us all; although, we r sinners. God loves the devil. Sinner or not, God is going to love u regardless. U have to change ur sinful ways in order to enter the Kingdom of the Father.



With so much division in the world, you will wonder if you re missing something. For some strange reason, the world cannot seem to come together for the better of humanity. The major division that comes to mind is the division of church. Why are there so many denominations? Can we not work out our differences and work together as a group? A family? When it comes to church, there is only one the Church of Christ. Most people believe the Church of Christ is acult: deranged people that know nothing about the Bible. Rest assured that is far from the truth. The teachings and the words come strictly from the Bible. It is the truth, and the laws the Bible contains of God that should be followed. Yes, man has totally messed up the Bible s teachings beyond repair. For so many years I was lost, and didn t know which way to turn. Jesus promised: Upon this rock, I will build MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Holy Bible, Matt. 16.18). The word my is a possessive pronoun is it not? He did not say he was going to build the Baptist church. He did not say he was going to build the holiness church. Nor did he say he was going to build Big Mama s House of the Living Holy Ghost church. He said MY church! Jesus promised to build his church, which began in Jerusalem in AD 33. (Truth for the World Teaching Paper, Vol. 10).


Still not convinced? Want to hear more of the truth? Where in the Bible does it say that we should be Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopalian, or Holiness? There is not one single passage in the Bible that says this. People are now making up names just to say they are a church. In the book of Ephesians is says, There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all. (Holy Bible, Eph. 4.4). You will not find one preacher, not including the Church of Christ, that preaches the True Gospel. The plea of the churches of Christ is for all people to accept the Word of God as their sole standard of doctrine and practice. Jesus said, And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (TFTW Headline News). Most of those other churches were named after a man, or by man. If you are going to church to be entertained by the band, or the choir, you are going for the wrong reasons. Most churches now have string sections, horn sections, drums, organs,and pianos. There is not one passage in the Bible that says all that is needed for church service. All you need is the faith of a mustard seed.


By what means does the church secure financial support? Each first day of the week the members of the church "lay by in store as they have been prospered" (1 Corinthians 16:2). The amount of any individual gift is generally known only to the one who gave it and to the Lord. This free-will offering is the only call which the church makes. NO assessments or other levies are made. No money-making activities, such as bazaars or suppers, are engaged in. A total if approximately $200,000,000 is given on this basis each year.
What is the CHURCH? The word always refers to people, not brick or mortar. The people r always a select group whether it referred to the CHURCH in the wilderness (ACTS 7:38), or the CHURCH at Antioch (ACTS 13:1). In the NEW TESTAMENT, the CHURCH was made up of the redeemed. It included everyone who obeyed the GOSPEL, and who then and there, was added to the family of GOD. First, it is a necessary organism to complete HIS eternal purpose. GOD made it a part of HIS plan from the beginning. "UNTO ME...IS THIS GRACE GIVEN, THAT I SHOULD PREACH...THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST...TO THE INTENT THAT UNTO THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS IN HEAVENLY PLACES MIGHT BE MADE KNOWN BY THE CHURCH THE MANIFOLD OF WISDOM OF GOD, ACCORDING TO THE ETERNAL PURPOSE OF GOD, WHICH HE PURPOSED IN CHRIST JESUS." (EPHESIANS 3:8-11). The CHURCH is not an afterthought. It is not an incidental thing. It is, rather, a vital part of a divine plan.


Here`s another thing...Who came up with the idea of only serving the LORD`S SUPPER, on certain Sundays? And where does it say that we`re supposed to go to church on just the first and third Sunday of the month? The LORD`S SUPPER is to be taken EVERY SUNDAY. It is expected that every member of the church will assemble for worship on each Lord`s day. A central part of the worship is the eating of the Lord`s supper (ACTS 20:7). Unless providentially hindered, each member considers this weekly appointment as binding. In many instances, as in the case of illness, the Lord`s supper is carried to those who are hindered from attending the worship.


The Baptists come from John the Baptist. So are these people saying that John the Baptist is more important than Jesus Christ? Jesus died for the sins of the world! What did John ever do more important than that? Jesus is the church, and the foundation of the church. This is from the book of Ephesians: and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. (Holy Bible, Eph. 1.22). When the word body is stated in the Bible, it means the body of Christ Himself. The Bible condemns division. Jesus prayed that all who believe in Him would be one. (Holy Bible, John 17.20-23). We should all be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in thesame judgement. According to the Bible, every church must teach the same thing so that there will be no divisions. Every church must follow the Word of God, which provides everything it needs in order to please God. The Baptist church, however, teaches that each church should make up its own covenant. The Baptist church accepts both the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God, but Baptists also teach that the Bible is not to be followed as a legal document or to be used as an inflexible set of rules every church needs to develop its own covenant statement that accurately describes the commitment to God and fellow Christians that the church members have affirmed. (Broadman Church Manual, pg. 21). Baptists also believe that the only way to be saved is just believing in JESUS. Not true. U must believe in JESUS, but also baptised for the remission of ur sins, and follow the plans of salvation. Every church must follow the Word of God, which provides everything it needs in order to please God.



With one billion members, the Roman Catholic church is the largest denomination in the world. Since the Bible teaches that Jesus built only one church, we must learn if the Roman Catholic church is the one mentioned in the Bible. After much careful reading it is not. The Roman Catholic church is a body with two heads! It claims Jesus is its headin Heaven, and the Pope is its head on earth. That is not found in the Bible. The Catholics believe that souls go to a place called Purgatory. They are punished in order to be purified. How long one has to spend in Purgatory will depend upon how bad he was on earth, and how much money his family and friends give to the church on his behalf. The doctrine of Purgatory does not come from God. It was made an official doctrineof the Roman church by the Council of Florence in 1439. The Roman Catholic church is not the church of the Bible. The Bible states that one s soul goes to Hades when he dies. Hades has a place of comfort for the righteous and a place of torment for the wicked. There is a great gulf between the two. One cannot cross to the other. (Luke 16.19-31).



Is the Presbyterian church (or the church of Scotland) the church Jesus built? We can examine the teaching of the Presbyterian church and compare it to the teaching in the Bible about the Lord s church. If the Presbyterian church is not according to the teaching of the Bible, it is not the one true church. Presbyterian has its roots in the middle of the 16th century in Switzerland. It soon spread to other parts of Europe. The church that Jesus built began in Jerusalem on the first Pentecost day after Jesus arose from the dead. (Acts 2). The Presbyterian church cannot be the true church for it was founded at the wrong time and in the wrong place. John Calvin took some of the teachings of Augustine and developed a system of doctrine known as Calvinism. The Presbyterian church is built upon this doctrine. Later, as a result of the leadership of John Knox, the Presbyterian church became very strong in Scotland. Jesus Christ, not John Knox or John Calvin, is the founder of the church we read about in the Bible. (Holy Bible, Matt. 16.18). Most Presbyterians today use instrumental music in worship, although they contend they strongly opposed it intheir early history. So do most of the other man made churches as well. Instrumental music is an addition to the New Testament pattern; therefore it is sinful to use it in worship. (Holy Bible Eph. 5.19, Col. 3.16-17, Rev. 22.18-19).
