@Samual Yoder .. that should have never happened to you in church .I do not do religion or churches of any kind anymore. There are pros and cons to them all. Like all things in life Churches as a whole have become greedy, political, and misleading.
Guess it is best to just keep on going, why keep hassling with it. It is not likely they are going to change me nor I them.....
If anyone wants to see better history, more verifiable with enough research and objectively seeking the truth, look for and value for what it is worth the volume one and two of |"History of the Baptist" which clearly shows the world wide religion that constantine et al made a world power that always has contradicted truth and fought against true believers who follow Jesus , who live God's Way as described in all the Bible. |It is awkward , difficult, and nearly impossible to determine if the druglords/pharmakeia or the world church is most destructive and deceptive. Just reading only the Bible, it is very clear that the first Christians had nothing to do with the world group that is now the largest ecumenical group of deception ever.
Hmmm... Do you realize that there is no end of study or books on earth ? Even if you could read a hundred full size books a day you would not get any closer to the truth in ten, twenty , or a hundred years.
Yes, and there still is, somewhere. There was indisputable proof for centuries. The source you quoted got deleted.
You are correct and I was not paying attention , my reply was wrong. Of course there are differences.
"As a man thinks in his heart, so he is." With a world full of people opposed to peace, joy and righteousness, that naturally results in a world full of thousands of different 'religions', all may be futile?
