Zone1 So When Is Church Going To Be Made Great Again?

[Robert W]

It's a constant battle between our old and new natures. Paul describes so well in Romans 7.

Do you sin daily?

 

[Robert W]

Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer[a]: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector

I am not scorning anybody. I wish you would stop sinning so you can rest from sinning and then not need to repent.

 

[GMCGeneral]

Do you sin daily?

I would be lying if I said I don't. But G-d in His grace already forgave me. I need to confess and repent moment by moment. THAT is a mark of a true Christian
People who claim they don't sin make G-d out to be a liar.

 

[Cougarbear]

His religious beliefs are none of your business.

If he offers it then it is.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If he offers it then it is.

He didn't offer it to you, did he?

good luck before the gates w/ that one -

you missed the original heavenly goal granted a&e upon their request for self determination the religion of antiquity - the triumph of good vs evil - as the means for admission to the everlasting ...

- just curious, what are the daily sins you repeat over and over again.

I am sorry you sin daily. When you repent, you are supposed to stop.

 

[GMCGeneral]

I am sorry you sin daily. When you repent, you are supposed to stop.

Again. You overlook one simple fact. We still battle the old nature moment by moment. Read Romans 7 for the detailed play by play. Anyone who claims they don't sin makes G-d out to be a liar..

 

[Cougarbear]

He didn't offer it to you, did he?

Yes!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yes!

My God! How do you breathe with such a low IQ?

You know sooner or later you're going to slip up and say something stupid and then we can give you a taste of your own medicine.

I do occasionally. I try not to make it a continuous habit like some people. The other poster is incapable of posting anything with an ounce of forethought and reasoning. Sorry if that breaks your little pea-picking heart.

Actually, he has often. He's too snooty to accept criticism. He's really only an Admiral as a legend in his own mind.

Yeah I was truly baptized but it's still sad. I'm not a Catholic but at least the Catholic church doesn't seem to condone this. Well with the exception of that fake bishop.




Sounds great but again I'm not a Catholic.

You would be if you knew my life story. Jesus said that few make it to Heaven. The main reason is that Satan is more powerful than humans-- who are not entirely IN Christ and the only way to be IN Christ is to be in HIS Church, doing what HIS Church says

The Book of Hebrews talks a lot about the perils of disobedience. And whether people want to realize it or not or admit it, the Catholic Church is God's Church on Earth. I do not just "believe" this, I know it. Yes, the CC is divided right now but

Jesus did say "Seek and you will find"

If you want a good Church that teaches the True Faith, you may have to go searching for it. But of course it is worth the effort

 

[forkintheroad7]

I say we are in the Last Days (long story why I say that but I don't say such things lightly.. In fact, it used to annoy me when I heard people say that..)

So to answer the question When will the Church be great again?

It looks like that will only happen when Jesus returns and I believe He is returning soon... (although "soon" to humans and "soon" to God are often 2 different things)

His church surely isn't the Vatican. Martin Luther was corrwct.

Are you saying that you believe that only Catholics make it to Heaven?

So glad to be a member of the real true Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jesus came to our Prophets and straightened us out on this. The fact is, most will make it to heaven. Those who will not are those who deny the Holy Ghost at the Judgment Seat of God or never made it to the earth to gain a body, the third who were lost with Lucifer (Satan). Everyone else will make it to heaven, Now, as Paul wrote, there are 3 separate levels or glories in heaven. Many mansions. Celestial, Terrestrial, Telestial (Stars). The difference is based on our Testimony of Jesus Christ and all the things of Christ including his Church and Doctrine. Also, we have to accept all the Exalting ordinances starting with Baptism by water and fire. The rest are found in our Temples and performed by those with the Authority of Christ's Priesthood.

You are so deceived. Did the Catholic Church (which, again, is NOT in the Vatican) ever teach it was OK to have multiple wives?

Also, your supposed "church" began very late in the game, in the 18th or 19th century... yet Jesus said that not even the gates of Hell itself would destroy HIS Church. (Mt 16:18)

His Church has been with us from the very beginning (still is, despite the worldly, demonic activities in the Vatican, which is just a city-state, not the Holy See founded by Christ with St Peter as its first pope).

Catholicism (confession to a priest, Transubstantiation...) was taught from the very beginning. Anyone who reads the Early Church Fathers knows this. The Fathers knew the 12 Apostles.. and their writings date back to the very beginning of AD time..

Since it's a church locally to me I cannot post the video of it so you're just going to have to take my word for it, but I just looked up a recent online video of a service at the church that I used to attend to see if it was any better now that woke is considered to broke.




It wasn't and in fact it was even worse. That pastor wasn't a pastor he was a political activist like that one so called female bishop. He started talking about uniting the conservatives with the progressives in a prayer and how much they embrace diversity.



It gets worse too. He deliberately used God's name in vain and was condoning sin by saying that you have nothing to fear with in God if you're sinning because He loves you way too much to punish you.



These people are being deceived. Yes God loves us but He cannot stand sin and until I can find a church where this garbage isn't being taught then I'm sorry but I refuse to go back to one!! Sad that I got baptized in this church but it's not God's house anymore it's Satan's. OhPleaseJustQuit, and JohnDB now you know why I refuse to attend church.

All churches haven't gone woke. Keep looking. There are still some good ones out there and they need good people to have their backs.
