Pastor Olu T: Simple, 'cos we all understand things differently, and not forgetting the devil's factor

italo: I will tell you why.

Because Jesus gave us one Church to teach us but men have founded their own places of worship and called them "churches."

Jesus' ONE Church is still in existence and it was that Church that gave us the Bible in the fourth century.

Find that Church and you will find the fullness of the true teachings of Jesus. Listen to that Church as it explains the word of God which is revealed through Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition...then you will avoid the ones Jesus calls "workers of lawlessness."

Ukuts gp: U mean d devil is d one confusing the pastors abi. Why do we blame satan for everything?

Joagbaje: It's been so from bible days. A day will come we will all come into the perfect knowledge of truth. We may have different levels of understanding but that should not stop us from accepting one another. As long as we beilev in the basic truth. One ,God ,one baptism ,one Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 4:4-6
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, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Based on this , we should focus on our assignment and stop judging or criticizing another. Pray for one another , perfection will take place in the body

Ukuts gp: And which church is that?

Pastor Olu T:

And the church is Roman catholic i guess?

paulcr7: Revelation 17 talks about Babylon and her daughters.A woman represent a church and babylon represent apostasy(Genesis 11).The harlot woman means the a church united with d state(rev 17:2,rev 13:1-2,Daniel 2:41), in enforcing its doctrines,killing the saints of God that are true to the bible alone.(rev17:6).This happened in d dark ages when roman govt under constantine united with the papacy and also persecuted the saints.Babylon represent the roman church but rev 17:5 talks abt d daughters of Babylon.That means there are many apostate churches with false doctrines.Baptism by sprinkling,change of sabbath,worshiping images,giving the pope the power to forgive sins(righteousness by works),immortality,purgatory,spiritualism,heaven&hell after death.All these doctrines originated from d roman church and all who hold any of these doctrines are daughters of Babylon.However,rev 12 talks abt a pure and holy woman representing God's true church.The woman is a singular woman.These are some of the characteristics of God's true church.1.it will arise after the dark ages(rev 12:5),after 1798.2.it will be a remnant(Minority)-vs 17.3.it will keep all of God's commandments including the 4th.vs 17.4.it will av d spirit of prophecy-rev 19:10.5.it will be a world wide church-mathew 28:19,20.6.It will be persecuted like in the dark ages by the coming together of church and state(rev12:17,rev 13).If u can study the book of revelation,u will find other characteristics.However,God has many children in many churches that are faithful to him but he is calling us to find the one true church and go there(rev 18:4,5).The dark ages will come again and those who unite with God's church will be persecuted just like the waldenses.Babylon is going to fall(rev 18:21-24) and God is still calling us to come out of it,so that we will nt receive d mark of d beast.Today,churches are teaching human traditions rather than the pure word of God.Truth is no longer absolute but relative.the standards are going down.A national sunday law will be passed soon and God's people will be persecuted.Come out of babylon is the call.There is only 1 church that fulfils these characteristics and God is calling his children to unite to his church."in d matter of conscience,the majority has no power".Lets follow the truth because its true and nt because it is popular.Truth has never been popular and the remnant has always been persecuted.God is calling us to uplift his laws above every human tradition

Pastor Olu T:

Rightly said, the devil has succeeded enough in diverting our attention from that which is most important. We major or the minor n minor on the major, with this many have been led astray.

italo:

The devil has rather succeeded in diverting your attention from God's one true Church.

It it the pillar and foundation of the truth. It cannot teach error, unlike the other 1billion "churches" founded by men.

Efere701: there are those practicing true christianity, the very same pattern of worship that the apostles of christ engaged in.

The Bible did not originate from the Catholic Church. Compiled by circumstance Yes but not originated. The Bible is God inspired. Be mindful of your choice of words.

kcjazz:
That said, if indeed the great commission is your goal, then avoid this cockiness of one mother church. God created his people to be unique, the Bible as a manual and belief that Jesus died and loves you. You can never get people to love Jesus by being cocky, yes the Catholic Church is best for you but be tolerant enough to understand that others grow their faith differently.

kcjazz:
remember, the goal is to live a good life for Christ and make heaven. In heaven, no denominations, get used to your Christian brothers and sisters now.

Ukuts gp: Hw can d church b unified into one doctrine

italo:

Go back to mother Church which has been teaching one doctrine for 2000yrs.

Ukuts gp: Dont tell me u are talking about catholic, because catholic have many controversial teaching that are contrary to the scripture which are under serious debate throughout the world.Dont tell me u are talking about catholic, because catholic have many controversial teaching that are contrary to the scripture which are under serious debate throughout the world.

italo:

Christians today have deviated from the one faith one baptism talked about in that verse.

We now have 1billion faiths. Thanks to those who insist on doing their own thing.
