Why do christians leave denominational religion? Is there a site or magazine for believers that have had it with forms with no power religion?
"The Bible is my only guide..I think that people in organized religions and sects need to remember that man made creeds is not following the one and true and only guide, The Bible, God's word." Ooooh nonononono, stop right there. Bible IS man made, and even christian(etc) schoolars agree with that fact. You should also know that bible was made of 66 books(if I'm correct) and all of those books had different authors. Some had multiply autors(like John, if I'm not mistaken) which caused there to be contradictions and made some statements vary. Also, some books were NOT included. And who decided which should be included? Hm? Riiight, the church. So please, oh please, stop calling it "the word of god" - it makes you sound so unbelievably, well, stupid.
"We need to start getting back to the basics, back to the original New testament church as Christ intended it to be and stay away from traditions and man made doctrines." The origina new testament was even more self contradicting. That is exactly why they removed and added new stuff to it over the course of time. And again, it IS man made, for gods sake.
It's funny how you tell me that what I say is immature while stating things such as "The Bible is "God breathed" written by men inspired by the Holy spirit" as if it is a fact. The Flying Sphagetti Monster is the real thing, trust me.
You could simply admit that you got owned, without embarassing yourself with the inability to answer a simple question. You could simply say "Just because" without bothering with writing all the God stuff(which has absolutely no support except you having "faith" in it). Neither is a good answer.
Take care!
WE are the church! not any building. As Christians we are His people/the church. I am non denominational. I grew up in a Luthern home...I am not Luthern, I follow Christ and Him alone. The Bible is my only guide..I think that people in organized religions and sects need to remember that man made creeds is not following the one and true and only guide, The Bible, God's word. We need to start getting back to the basics, back to the original New testament church as Christ intended it to be and stay away from traditions and man made doctrines.
bou , real mature...grow up! what makes me think that and BELIEVE that is Faith in God and knowing that He is my Heavenly Father and creator of all...I see in just your last response how mature you really are in even discussing such issues, so in that I will agree to disagree and end the conversation with you on this topic! Good luck!
Many of us have this question in our minds, but I found a really beautiful answer for this. It described church as an organism which lives, changes according to time and improves itself. It described the church from a very different perspective which answered my question to a great extent. Here is the link which I would like to share.
"The Bible is "God breathed" written by men inspired by the Holy spirit"
And what exactly makes you think that? Oh, know what? Yesterday I wrote a story, and I was inspired by his noodleness Flying Sphagetti Monster - the true creator of the universe.
We are the church we should be able to read the Bible for our self's and know what it says and be able to learn for our self's not have someone teach it to us because we don't know how...We need to learn how...because you can be misguided so easily.
Typically Evangalist are those who dont really conform to a specific doctrine but go by personall interpretation.
sorry Bou, got owned? LOL my faith is not up for debat, but your lack of it is sad.
bou, The Bible is "God breathed" written by men inspired by the Holy spirit
HELL IS TO HOT FOR TO LONG TO BE WRONG!
I agree with all the tree answers.
My lack of it is glorious.
