Michael547: You speak from the perspective of those who need to worship on Mount gerizim like the woman at the well, or Jerusalem like the Jews. True worship has nothing to do with space or matter. It is done in spirit. Jesus Christ taught is this. I hope his teaching is acceptable to you. You can never k ow who a true worshipper is....no man knows the son except the father Again Jesus taught us this Again I hope his teaching is acceptable to you You will meet people who say they belong to Jesus, you will love them and relate with them But you will never be able to know the certainty of their conversion experience, and they will never know yours The Lord knows them that are his...Paul in 1 timothy God will lead you in spirit to people of all sorts, you will do God's will to them, but that will never mean they are definitely God's true worshippers God alone knows his own Worship is between you and God Love is between you and people Loving people is a must whether they believe or not The true worshippers are united only by the Lord who knows them 2 Likes |

Straybullet:Lol....How can you be a true worshipper of God when you exist in space and matter and not in the spirit world? |

Michael547: It means to be experientially aware of the spirit realm You are brought into the immediacy of on-goings in the spirit realm. You participate in the reality of that realm 2 Likes |

Michael547: Ok So the revelation of Jesus Christ is the work of the father and the heart of the spirit of worship. In the predetermined moadim visitations of the elect, the Christ is unveiled and encountered. That plugging into the divine moadim is a destiny fulfilment of the elects unique role in the church and body of christ. Now you're getting me worked up! 1 Like |

Straybullet:Who are those other people in the body of christ that you see there....have you seen anyone of them on earth here? |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 8:35am On Mar 25 |
Michael547: You still don't get it. No man knows the son except the father. While a moadim encounter can involve potential interaction with human beings, there is no knowing of the true worship status of any human except by the father 1 Like |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 10:24am On Mar 25 |
Straybullet:So we can never know anyone else who worships God. So how were worshippers of God like paul, peter and Timothy and other able to know each other and work together? |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 12:17pm On Mar 25 |
Michael547: I already told you. You will encounter people, and you're to love and relate with them. But that will never prove that they are true worshippers. Paul worked with others who deserted the work also like demas. So not all he worked with turned out like timothy, yet he worked with them. If he had believed they were true worshippers because of the work they shared he would have made a terrible mistake. |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 4:11pm On Mar 25 |
Straybullet:So the same people that i see in the spirit realm and also in real life are not true worshippers of God? I don't understand your point oo. Are you saying if I see you in the spirit realm and I see you in real life, you are not a worshipper of God? Forget about all those who deserted Paul. Was Paul and Timothy fellow worshippers of God? Did they know each other? So what stops me and you who are worshippers of God from seeing each other in the spirit realm and also knowing each other on earth here? |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 4:24pm On Mar 25 |
Michael547: I really don't know why it's confusing to you. 1. You can never be sure a person is a true worshipper of God. That knowledge is not yours to have but God's. 2. Worship is between you and God only 3. You should relate with people whether they are true worshippers or not 4. Your relating with people doesn't make them true worshippers. 5. You must know your own self, and your relationship with God. You can't know that of others. |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 4:36pm On Mar 25 |
Straybullet:So even when I see you in the spirit realm worshipping God, you are still not a true worshipper? Are you saying I can never see and know another person that worship God on this planet earth? Yes or no? Infact it means that you are liar for telling me that you are a worshipper of God. |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 4:58pm On Mar 25 |
Michael547: 1. I am emphatically saying you can never be sure that anyone is a true worshipper. 2. You should not take my word for it, that i am a worshipper. You can't be sure that I am. You can never know. 3. You will relate with people , that will not make them true worshippers. No man can know those whose names are in the book of life Again you don't need to know if a person is a true worshipper. You are commanded to love all men. And if people say they are worshippers, so be it. Either way it doesn't impact on you, for its not your place to know |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 7:23pm On Mar 25 |
Straybullet:Then you are a LIAR for telling me that you worship the true God. Is this how you worship the true God with lies? Was paul not sure that Timothy was a true worshipper when they worked and worshipped God together? Oga you are confused. If you can't identify a fellow worshipper of God on earth today, then you are not worshipping the true God. The true God always makes sure that His worshippers are united and worship him together irrespective of the location on earth. |

Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 8:18pm On Mar 25 |
Michael547: Woww Take it easy with the insults please If you have a problem it is with the bible which teaches that only God knows them that are his And that only the father knows the son Are you angry that you can't identify those going to heaven You can insult the bible if you hate its teaching No one knows the son but the father Only the Lord knows them that are his Simple. That is God's word. Take it or leave it Again Paul was sure of no one. Demas was with him like Timothy, yet demas abandoned them and left to pursue his love of the world. Paul couldn't have known demas would leave. So the word of God is clear...you cannot know those who are true worshippers...except for yourself, because bible says...know ye not yourselves? |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 9:18pm On Mar 25 |
Straybullet:Who is asking you of those going to heaven? Am I asking you of those who would later not worship God? Did apostle Paul not know people like Timothy who joined him In serving God? Who are those worshipping God today is the question that I have been asking you. You have claimed that we can never know anyone who worships God on earth. But you Said you worship God, is that not hypocrisy? |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 6:48am On Mar 26 |
Michael547: So now you can see you are the one who is confused! So you don't know that true worshippers will ALL make heaven? You don't know that any one who worships in truth will DEFINITELY make heaven? Jesus said...all who the father has given me no man can take away... ...I give them eternal life and they will never perish You see your quarrel is not with me but with the bible If you can identify thr true worshippers then you have identified those who will be in heaven |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 8:34am On Mar 26 |
Straybullet:Lol.....oga you are just an isolated self acclaimed worshipper of God. If you don't have fellow worshippers that are your brothers and sisters in connection with worshipping God, then you are not Worshipping the God of the Bible. |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 9:50am On Mar 26 |
Michael547: Hahaha Now you're scared of the Bible 😄 🤣 Quote Bible nah... Oga you're part of the denominational nonsense going on Repent bro |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 11:49am On Mar 26 |
Straybullet:Lol....you must be funny....so If i worship God with others, then am I sinner? Then Jesus and his disciples must have been sinners since they knew each other and worshipped God together. Do you see that the joke is on you? |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 12:27pm On Mar 26 |
Michael547: Your comprehensive skills are good but not good enough. Worshipping together doesn't meaning you all are true worshippers oga. Judas iscariot worshipped with the others but perished So who is the joke on now? 😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 2 Likes |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Michael547(m): 12:34pm On Mar 26 |
Straybullet:You are the one with a comprehension problem. Oya who are those that you worship with? Can I know them? This is where I will know whether you have sense or not. At least Jesus disciples knew themselves. Who are those that you worship with? |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by bobestman(m): 12:35pm On Mar 26 |
As the light keep shinning many of you keep waking up. Churchism was created by the Romans. They stopped the disciples house to house gathering and started hunting for them till they killed them. They changed the laws, created a messiah and false image and start venerating those they killed. They later start building churches and told you God is their. That is how you started going to church. Church is circe. Like the messiah, Peter affirmed that your body is the true temple where God is 2 Likes |
Re: Thread: The Denominations Are Not The Church by Straybullet: 1:04pm On Mar 26 |
Michael547: Did Jesus worship with Judas? Low comprehension people will say yes. Then when we ask them why did he perish after doing the same thing as Jesus they become mute. Worship is a one on one meeting with God, and has nothing to do with others. There is no venue for worship. No place, no time nothing like that. Nothing like fellow worshippers because worship is personal But like I said , you can and will relate with other people. Just like Jesus related with judas and Peter etc I hope you're learning 2 Likes |
