Hmm, unfortunately, once Jesus tells one 'Depart from me', in other words: Go to Hell, then no more rest and way out for all eternity.

I think it's worth thinking about.

2Pet.2.1 - But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2Pet.2.2 - And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

2Pet.2.3 - And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Oh, I see. You can actually check out the requirements of different courses on NOUN's website here:

https://www.admissions.nouonline.net/zzappl_ugrad.php

Check faculty of Management Sci and Social science courses. And if you have any reasonable level of interest in education/teaching/lecturing, then check faculty of education courses too.

In any case, ensure you go for something you know you would be able to do and finish well without frustrations. And don't be fooled by courses with seemingly great names or popularity; think about its relevance, demands or prospects after graduation.

Take care.

Hmm. I was a commercial student too; so my guesses would be: Accounting, Bus. Admin., Banking/Finance, Edu Admin., Bus. Edu, Acc. Edu.

However, your not including Economics in your result might make some of my guesses totally unacceptable; you've got to meet an admission counsellor at the school you want.

Hmm, there is no contradiction as you think. The thing is there is false peace and true peace; false unity and true unity; false love and true love; false jesus and True Jesus; false spirits, prophets, churches, religions, gospels etc.

*True peace is for true disciples of Jesus who live in daily obedience to His words by faith in him.

*False peace is of the devil and his followers: false prophets, false believers etc., who despise and do not obey His words.

By obedience I don't mean just keeping the ten commandments, but especially the commands of Jesus in the new testament (Matthew chapters 5, 6 and 7 would be a good start).

The Word of God will always cause "true" division among people or groups, even loved ones: family members, friends, church members etc., because of Sin -- John 7:7 :

Matt.10.21 - And the BROTHER shall deliver up the BROTHER TO DEATH, and the FATHER the child: and the CHILDREN shall rise up AGAINST their parents, and cause them TO BE PUT TO DEATH.

Matt.10.22 - And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall BE SAVED.

True peace is for those living in obedience: turning away from sins daily. He says to his disciples, 'In me you shall have peace, in the world you shall have tribulations (problems). Hence, not every religious unity, even if it involves great Pastors, Popes, Prophets, etc., are necessarily of God.

If anything religious doesn't agree or lead to obedience to Jesus commands and His Holy Spirit, then it must be false: of the devil, the father of liars.

Finally:

John.7.7 - The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the WORKS thereof are EVIL.

Matt.10.36 - And a man's foes (enemies) shall be they of HIS OWN household.

Matt.10.37 - He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me IS NOT worthy of me.

John.15.19 - If ye were of the world, the world would love HIS OWN...

God bless.

Matt.10.21 - And the BROTHER shall deliver up the BROTHER TO DEATH, and the FATHER the child: and the CHILDREN shall rise up AGAINST their parents, and cause them TO BE PUT TO DEATH.

Matt.10.22 - And ye shall be hated of ALL men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall BE SAVED.

Christianity Etc › Re: Can I Be A Christian Without Going To Church? by davidinchrist(m): 3:42am On Jan 11, 2021

traihit:
In that place where it is difficult to find true servants of Christ, in that congregation you call corrupt, among the people you think they are all serving men instead of God, there are still a few souls who have a good relationship with God and that's the case in so many of these churches.

Should we say because the world is full of uncertainties then children shouldn't be born? Then why should we run away from church totally because there are fake churches.

To the op, not going to church is not a sin but you can't sustain a consistent Christian living for a long time unless you find a local assembly where you can belong to, where you have people to be accountable to and where the words you hear will transform you the more. Being a Christian is not a one day journey, it is lifetime of dedication and readiness to serve God and thus, while relationship with God is purely personal, walking as a lone ranger Christian is very dangerous. If you don't like the doctrines of your church, find another to belong but ensure it's where you can hear God's word, balanced and undiluted.

May you never be confused or captured by fake ministers of God.
Shalom.

You may reread my comment again, if possible and if you don't mind. The thing is it's got two opposite sides, and people tend to get glued to one side: the forget not the gathering of your brethren side.

So, whether the gathering is Alive or Dead, forget them not?

Of course not! The second says to TURN AWAY or avoid certain type:

(You may start from verse 1)
2Tim.3.5 - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such TURN AWAY.

2Cor.6.17 - Wherefore COME OUT from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Finally,

1John.4.1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but TRY (or test) the spirits whether they are of God: because MANY false prophets are gone out into the world.

Note: you still don't need to agree with me...

Bye.

Christianity Etc › The 'Forget Not The Gathering' Deception by davidinchrist(op): 9:26pm On Jan 10, 2021

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for one to find a true church of Christ, as most churches are SELF, MEN and MONEY-centered.

If one has got a true fellowship that leads to obedience to the books of the gospels (not just a congregation of clubby members), then it would be wrong to leave such. However, for common gatherings/mega-churches and their branches worldwide, I would say it's better to avoid them like the plague in any case. Because even if one isn't ready to repent and obey Jesus, he/she would still be a single candidate of hell, not a double one as Jesus called it. (See Matt. 23:15)

But how about the verse "Forget not the gathering of the brethren..."?

Of course, if you've got a true fellowship (as I mentioned), why would you want to Forget them in any case?

It is also written to turn away from such with a FORM of godliness (see 2 Tim. 3:5)

Above all, seeking to live in obedience is the main thing, not necessarily about lots of religious activities:

Matt.7.22 - MANY will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done MANY mighty works in Your name?

Matt.7.23 - And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].

God bless.

MrBati:
Good morning!

At this stage of my life I am beginning to see going to church as a waste of productive time and my parents refuse to see why. I strongly believe in God as the author and finisher of my faith but I don't think it is necessary to always go to church...

I have been going to church for over 20 years of my life and I am tired.

My parents are ready to disown me because of not going to church.

Can't i serve God without going to Church?

Very well, but the WORST parts were not even quoted; the part where the devil asked Jesus to BOW DOWN and worship him, and get the world's glory in return.

Secondly, the part where the devil deceived Eve into eating the God's forbidden fruit.

Honestly though, the quoted is really a terrible SIN, but it's still very much like a few mosquito bites compare to the ones I've just written above.

For many, staying away from churches is much better. It would be a lot safer for many professing christians to stay away from churches that do not lead to a change of life in Christ, but just having a mere form of godliness.

In other words, it is better to be a SINGLE candidate of hell than a DOUBLE one. At such places, they tell you're saved when you're terribly lost; and you start imaging that you're on your way to heaven. It's been over 6 years since I stopped going to these great organized churches of men; cos if my leader is blind he will lead me into the pit (hell).

NOW: BEING A CHURCH GOER OR NOT IS NOT THE MAIN THING. THE THING IS: DO WE OBEY JESUS DAILY? John 14:15

If not, please don't ever imagine you're saved yet, even if you're the G.O or Bishop of the biggest church in America and the UK.

God bless.
