SHOULD WE REMAIN LOYAL to OUR DENOMINATION.
Many ofus have this belief that our denomination is the surest way to heaven. All denomination have great potentials and play important role in improving ones spiritual life. Each denomination focuses on certain values at the expense of others and are therefore more suited for certain individuals deficient in such value.
.Some denomination focuses on dogmas and rules. others focus on ethical teaching. No one is superior to the other. They all serve same purpose in different ways. Each denomination promotes one virtue at the expense of the other. While some churches prefers to stabilize the world by keeping to ancient traditions, laws and order, others focuses on improving faith among members. If we examine very well, certain churches seems to attract certain kinds of elders or workers . Those who are fun-loving and opened minded and dislike rules make up the living faith church and Christ embassy. . The perfectionist who love arguing and seek to correct interpretation of biblical teachings flood Jehovah witness. Those who are reliable,responsible, rigid to standard principles while transacting business, not prone to certain outburst of anger, old fashioned, and cautious financially are workers in deeper life church or assembles of GOD. THOSE WHO ARE OBEDIENT to ancient traditions, FOLLOWS STRUCTURE, LOYALty to ancient tradition are catholics or Anglican(. this stereotype is not hundred percent accurate)
Each church is like a drug to cure us of certain ailment. NO matter how strong an anti-biotic drug is, it can not be used to cure malaria.IN addition, the dosage required for a kid differs withthat of an adult.An undisciplined funloving individual may dislike deeper life or catholic church for being boring and too methodolical wheareras such person is supposedto develop in such area.instead he prefers to attend a church that promotes fun and places less emphases on laws such as Christ embassy.
