the widespread misconception that the Church of Jesus Christ is sick or corrupted etc is very very wrong.

the Church is PERFECT!!!
Jesus Christ himself is the one building the Church.

what is sick , corrupt, unspiritual and in decay is the human invention called the churches.

these denominations of whatever name are at complete variance with the idea of Church Jesus Christ had.

they are human concoctions that have gone the way if all flesh...DEATH!

I hope to continue to throw more light on the subject of the true Church and the true Faith of God and his Christ subsequently.

will be glad to hear others opinions.

denominations are not of God

Are you really ready for the TRUTH?

Because it's a path that's inconvenient so most people love the easy broad road! Matthew 7:13-14

As long as they have rules, regulations, policies and procedures to keep their human establishments going and ensure it's survival it will always conflicts with the scriptures

Op, if you are CHURCH OF CHRIST , you are scam too

I'm not!

hmmm...I agree with this. but I need to hear more about your understanding of Church to know if I fully agree

My understanding started here

..... For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

..... 1 Corinthians.... 10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas ”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.

So when they started to gather in name of various denominations scattered all over the world today, you know where the problem started from.

all of this aligns with my own views on church. but calling out the problem is the easy part. what in your view constitutes true Church?

Strafudeenwife:
totally ready 😊

The true church has a mission which is to gather and unite obedient humans from all the nations of the earth {Isaiah 2:2-4} if you carefully read verse 4 that i cited you will see that these people from different countries throughout the world will become like one big and happy global family of peace loving worshipers.

How is that going to be possible?

Well that is the work of the wonderful counselor to be born among the Jews! Isaiah 9:6

So when Jesus sent his disciples out to preach and teach people throughout the earth {Matthew 28:18-20} the aim is to make love reign among themselves {John 13:34-35} as you are having hundreds of families anywhere you go {Mark 10:28-30} because you all share the same line of thought! John 17:22

So after Jesus' ascension to heaven the people seeing his disciples started calling the group by different names:

Nazarenes~ because Jesus is from a city called Nazareth.

The Way~ because Jesus claimed to be the only way to God's presence.

Christians~ because they are disciples of a young Jewish man whose followers are calling him Christ.

No matter what they say Jesus' friends were willing to be ridiculed for the love they had for their Master Lord and future King. Matthew 10:33

But is that the name God intended to call His worshipers?

The answer is NO!

WHY?

Because either The Way, Nazarenes or Christians is limited to followers of Jesus alone whereas there has been lots and lots of faithful servants of God before Jesus walked the earth. So what does God have in mind to call His worshipers?

Well God hid that for thousands of years allowing Satan's agents to misuse any group name fabricated by people who want to mock His worshipers so different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines started claiming Christians until when God began separating sheep-like people from among goat-like ones.

This separation work took more than seventy years till the year 1931 when God declared the group name He wanted to call all His faithful worshipers from the time of Abel till today {Hebrews 11:4-34; 12:1} though God said He will destroy all false religions and their adherents but His own faithful servants He will call by another group name:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

That is why only this group perfectly fits in to all the descriptions Jesus gave regarding his future disciples and just as he foretold throughout the world all the people will hate them and whoever has to do with them! Luke 21:17🙂

See this....

John 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

NO!
The name is just to direct you to where you should focus if you want to know how true religion should be just like the ancient nation of Israel God established that nation and called them His people because that is the only nation worshiping the one and only true God but that doesn't mean all Israelites are faithfully doing what God commanded.
The same applies to Jesus' disciples.
When Jesus walked the planet in the first century only those following him has the light among them while all other religions no matter where they are remains in spiritual darkness but that doesn't mean all followers of Jesus are faithfully doing what he taught.

So the same applies today if you want to know how true religion should be organized and practiced only Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth but that doesn't mean all members are faithfully doing what is required.

These are the signs to identify the one and only true religion:

They will gather people from all nations and make them disciples of the Prince of Peace. Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8

They will no longer get involved in the political struggles of this world {John 17:14-16} because they believe in God's government or God's Kingdom which they are zealously preaching! Matthew 10:7

Since they don't participate in politics there is no way Satan can instigate them against anyone be it neighbor or fellow believers so when it comes to WARS {Revelation 6:3-4} something that is caused by racism and favoritism they will turn away! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

They will view all their fellow believers as members of the same spiritual family {Mark 10:28-30} and the whole world will admit that there is love among them. John 13:34-35

And due to their unwavering faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ most people who can't fully adhere to Jesus' teachings or those who finds it difficult to understand Jesus' teachings will hate them. Matthew 24:9

They will only form marriage alliance with their fellow believers. 1Corinthans 7:39 compare to Deuteronomy 7:3-4

They will be the most peaceful group on planet earth. Matthew 10:16

All these things i found among Jehovah's Witnesses that is why i left my former religion (Islam) for the true religion!

so the name points me to a group that exclusive holds the truth, but yet that group can have false members and followers whom I should not take to really represent the group.
in other words there is a group within the group that is the true church or is it that any member may stray from the truth of the group and that wouldn't delegitimize the group because the membership doesn't necessarily equate to the group , but the group is distinct from it's members

so by this you are saying that when people observed social gatherings centred around the the Jesus sect from Nazareth their describing them with names correctly identifies them as the true Church? so when they identified Ananias and saphira as members and followers of the way, or the Pharisees who believed but Insisted on circumcising Christians, or even the errant groups in Asia minor who were identical churches but were rebuked by Jesus for being false...
when outsiders say... these are Christians etc does that make such errant people and groups the true Church??

you have to provide a definition of the Church for me to work with.
you proposed a group ...the Jehovah's witnesses, and I'm interrogating that opinion.

we obviously have to look at group dynamics.

if you believe a physical group is the Church , then let's look at how groups function.

so there's nothing minor about my concerns.

if the group is the Church but I can't look to it's members to show me what church should be then I have to disagree with the entire framing of the group as the church.

if some of the members are accurate and are thus the Church, tell me who those members are ....all I'm trying to do is to identify the CHURCH

again if the inanimate organisation the Jehovah's witnesses on its own as a corporation without any members is the Church...feel free to say.

The church means a group of believers not a group of perfect humans so what matters is how they should operate as stated by Jesus the head of the church.

The function of the church is to gather all obedient humans throughout the earth and make them one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers. Isaiah 2:2-4 compare to Act 1:8

So they must be united in thought and their judgement must be the same everywhere they are. John 17:22

That is what will make the bond among them strong and unbreakable. John 13:34-35

But that doesn't mean you will not find flaws because they are still imperfect humans! Matthew 26:41🙂

Different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines today are not Christians. True Christianity doesn't welcome interfaith we must all believe the same thing if we are followers of the same Christ! John 17:22; Romans 16:17; 1Corinthans 1:10

I asked you from the onset if you want to know the truth because it's going to make you uncomfortable.


There is only one church of Christ and today God has given them a new group name to distinguish them from all false religions claiming Christians.

See what sincere observers are saying about the one and only true church of Christ even though they don't know that is what they are saying in essence:

freethinker01:
Tho I don't like their disturbance, I'd have to say they're far better than all their Christian tithe whoring counterparts.

BafanaBafana:
Quite true. JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are actually one of the few denominations who are still following Christ. Most churches now are headed by motivational speakers who only use the name of Jesus to preach other things. The goal is to attract members to their church and the members will bring the money.
Shikena!

APOPTOSIS:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESS is operating at a different level.
They have been steadfast, resolute and committed.
I hold no grudge against them. They downplay commercialization of churches.
They entertain persecutions a lot, in fact more than several Christian bodies.
Seems in their church everyone is at same level irrespective of your degree, financial acquaintance and contacts.
And it seems they obey the Bible the most:
-They hardly disturb neighbors during prayers.
-They frown at intimidation and flamboyant lifestyles.
-They ensure financial gifts are covered and never displeased at whatever they recieve.
-Their members would make good politicians but they frown at politics
I respect them. I judge based on actions and not what I'm told.

Oye0404:
well said, once had a witness DAT comes around for years, truth is,dis guys are so caring and accommodating. lots if misconceptions about dem..

XXLDICK:
They remain the most peaceful Christian denomination.
They do not pay tithes. They are the only Christian denomination yet to be commercialized. They are my favourite.
Cons:
They do not recite the national anthem.
They do not participate in elections.
They do not accept blood transfusion.

boss1310:
The way they are hated makes me to think sometimes they might be the true Christians but I might be wrong.

Love800:
I would love to be a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS, because of their gentle life. Relaxed service and programs(not those stressful and loud types), and serenity of their church yard. Infact, its this serenity of their abode that blows my mind!

But the thing that worries me, is their misled teachings. How can you say that we are not going to die, but remain on earth and unite with our love ones and live happily together forever!

Deway52:
I am convinced that JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are the real religion, they do everything in line with the bible.
Na small time remain for me now, I don enter. If everybody in the world is a jw the world would be a better place.

DeepSight:
I am not sure the respect JWs have is on account of what you say. It is more on account of their general simplicity, general adherence to bible truth, and the fact that no one can accuse them of being commercialised or money or power focused like most other denominations are. Alot of people see a purity in them which is lacking in many other places. I should know, for as I told you, in my youth, I used to be one.

HardMirror:
unfortunately, JW are the best Christians if we will be honest.

Now is your turn to present what you want or how you feel the true church should be but please don't bring what was never obtainable even in Bible times o!🙂
