Attending Church

(1/21) > >>

robby.morales:
I'll be brief:

I have a family. We are not currently attending church. I worry about what doctrines my wife and children will be exposed to should we settle on a local fellowship. Any suggestions on the subject of attending church?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Robbie,

Brief answer:
You do not need to attend any organized religious fellowship in order to please God.

Your children would probably learn some interesting facts in "Sunday school" if they did attend, but they would also be exposed to myths and traditions that would leave them with more unanswered questions than valid biblical answers.

I realize that you are facing a serious challenge to your sincere desire to provide Bible teaching for your children and I hope that you will find the help you desire from others here on the forum.
Personally, I would suggest that you consider preparing yourself to "home teach" the true facts about God and Jesus in a basic and simple manner.

If your wife is willing to help with this approach once it is established, it would have a good chance of success. Please keep in mind though that you are the responsible parent and need to take the lead with your wife's approval. Don't expect her to do the research or the preparation for the lessons, that is your job until perhaps she asks to participate, so go slow and pray a lot.
The important thing is to exercise great patience and taking the time to prepare simple lessons. Work toward gaining the trust of your family in simple ways rather than any deep or difficult topics. Teach about God's great love...

You can even mix basic science lessons with your Bible readings and I'm sure that the children will enjoy your use of the computer and maps and pictures of other lands for their lessons if you are able to find appropriate material for them.

It won't be easy, but you will learn great lessons along the way and the family will draw closer together as you worship in your home. Remember to keep it simple and friendly and fun. God's son Jesus is a fun fellow and very patient with the "little children' including all of us on the forum.

Love and hugs, Indiana Bob

Hi Robby,

Church = synagogue of Satan, there is nothing there that leads to life, please, have your family read what is on this site. B.T. = life.

Seriously, I’m telling you the truth. Why subject your family to false doctrine ? It’s all the church has to offer.   ;)

Hi Mr Smith.

I am Very grateful once again to write you this little note and commend. Since I wrote to you in 2009, to thank you about tithing which I din’t agree with its teaching from the start. Now I am a free man with no guilt in heart. Now I know you don’t attend any church. But may be you know of any church that is teaching the same message, that you are teaching, I have tried  for many years to find the church that Jesus built according to MT 16verse18. but to no avail each and every organizations are not teaching the whole truth of God.

I am very confused as I do have the family, that is looking up to me for spiritual guidance. Especially my children as the bible say we must teach them while they are still young, now I do know where to start.

Another thing I would like to thank you. Because since I started reading your writings, it is difficult to read other Christians books iam also looking up to you for spiritual guidance, always I read about your current condition. And I pray to God to keep you until you finish this good work you have started.

Sir you will bare with me, I am an African man in south Africa, not educated so English is not my language but I hope the holy spirit will help to explain what I am trying to say

Thanks


Dear Abel:  I understand you problem with finding the Church that Jesus built.
It still exists, but not in the form and practice of what it was when Jesus started it.

But it was prophesied that it would go into apostasy (a falling away from the true
faith once delivered).  So from that "falling away" Church, God has been calling
OUT a people to restore and live by the original teachings of its founder--Jesus.

So don't be discouraged.  You may not find what you would think is the "True"
Church, but you have found the "TRUTH" of that original Church.  And remember,
our fellowship with the Called Out Elect is "IN SPIRIT."  And our fellowship and
worship of God is also "IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH" (John 4:21-24).  No thing or
no body can ever prevent you from worshiping God in "spirit and in truth"!

God be with you,

Ray

Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus died for our sins.

Is this false doctrine?
