SO MANY VOICES, SO LITTLE TRUTH

There is much confusion within the body of Christ as to what is the TRUTH.

First we consider the old line denominations and we find there much disagreement as to doctrines concerning; baptisms, communion, marriage, priests versus bishops, pastors and lay ministers or whether ministers can be a woman, a homosexual, or a very young person.

The multiplicity of issues loom large and are divisive and has neutered the church to the point that new births have been greatly minimized and bastards (not sons) are welcomed, and have been accepted as members and leaders.

The scriptures have admonished us act as the body of Christ and not as independent assemblies. This will never happen as long the diverse ideology rules.

The permissive doctrine of universal acceptance of persons regardless of spiritual condition will scarcely be able to withstand the onslaught of the enemies of the church, but rather they will use the “If you can’t beat them, join them” attitude.

The so called present day spiritual battles being fought are over reinterpreting the church articles of faith and those who resist this new found permissiveness either have to leave or conform.

There is a sifting going on and those who stand for righteousness are out voted and characterized as intolerant. The departure of hundreds of congregations from some main line Denominations is weakening them in numbers, but is strengthening them in spirituality, which is a good trade off.

Knowing these things can be discouraging to the individual Christian unless you keep before you this truth; that the church of JESUS CHRIST is composed of believers who are united by union with Christ through the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Ghost.

No denomination, no political power, no spiritual force can separate us from the Church of JESUS CHRIST, for we are one in the spirit and we are one body.

The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is his new creation, by water and the word:
From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died
