Deeper, Deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go
Higher, Higher in the school of wisdom
More of grace to know
O deeper yet I pray
And higher ev'ry day
And wiser, blessed, Lord
In thy precious, holy word

Churches are not one family.

The doctrine are so contrast. Some says a woman can be pastor in church while some say women shd remain at the background.

Some pray through Jesus while others pray through Mary.

Some allow men to wear earrings while some forbid it.

Some allow women to wear trousers while it's an abomination in some .

Some say it's compulsory to pay first fruit while some say it's not necessary.

Some say you won't make heaven if you don't pay tithe while some say it's a lie.

So you see why I say churches are not one family.
Nobody prays through Mary. We all pray through and in Jesus name.

Doctrines are just way of your acceptance of the word of God but it doesn't change the word.

Remember the story of the disciples of Jesus and those of John the Baptist......


Jesus said, if a man is not against us, he is for us.
Na so..

Yet, many of you are against the JWs as the JWs are against the rest of you...

Pentecost is a fest of the pagans,the apostles weren't part of it,so during that feast the apostles separated themselves for prayers,it was during the prayers that the Holy ghost came on them as thorns of fire.

Your definition of doctrine is false.

DOCTRINE: a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group.

If the belief and teachings of church A is totally different from church B, can you really say they are one?

Example: If church A allows it members to donate and accept blood and church B tells its members to never donate or accept blood, can you really say they are one under Christ? undecided

Please think deeply before you quote me.
Forget beliefs or doctrine or anything like that, they're all Christians and they're one in Christ because they all come together to serve one Lord which is Christ and one God.. sekina

How about the "Holy Ghost Fire" churches whom their pastors shout as if they want to bring Heaven down to Earth? They should have their category; aren't they called the Pentecostal Churches? Why are they not in the list? Perhaps you classified them using another nomenclature.

Different doctrines are OK so long as Christ is the centre and main message.

Doctrines are influences on Christianity based off man made traditions, cultures and practices.

I strongly agree!

Some worship on Saturday while others worship on Sunday

There's also the discriminations of offering jobs to only members of the same church.

Some tie their hair while others don't.

Some use musical instruments while others don't.

Some pray out loud while others pray silently and quietly.

Some speak in tongues while others see it as a taboo.

You left the trinity and mentioned a woman that was blessed amongst women..... A mortar like you to show you are a proud Catholic. This is why People believe that Catholics gives too much reference to Mary. Some even say Catholics worship Mary. It is comments like this that butresss such belief. Sacred heart of Mary people.

Is this what Jesus had in mind when he established the church? A divided group of believers teaching different doctrines they all claim to be from Gods holy spirit?

undecided
Jesus did not even establish a church 😂
He said there will be a time when people will no longer go to temples to worship God. Instead, the true worships would worship God in truth and spirit

The method of your acceptance of the word forms your belief.

The word is still the word till Christ comes.

Stop jaiving!
You speak nonsense, including the rubbish you spew up,before now?
A Tunji can not understand the mystery of the Scripture because he is in flesh,so stop speaking on what you don't know,for even in your Muslim world,there so many different types e.g Sunni and others,yet you still go to mosque to seek whosoever you worship
See a typical Unbeliever, making mouth on what he doesn't know anything about!
