Attending Church
ez2u:
well this is a long post I hope this gets read. what i wanted to tell you is we read and pray with our three children just about every night I didn't preach to them but when they asked questions i gave them answers. Now they are grown up each going in the direction the Lord would have them go and God word is planted in their hearts. and that is Good.

Which is why I do not attend Christian churches.
Easy peasy.
In Revelations, Jesus just walked among the seven candlesticks (churches); His throne was not there.

I consider myself a Christian. God knows. Maybe you are also.
Act_11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. (KJV)
Acts 11:26 (CLV) and finding him, he led him to Antioch. Now it came that they are gathered a whole year, also, in the ecclesia, and teach a considerable throng. Besides, in Antioch first, the disciples are styled "Christians."

I believe you when you say you are a Christian. Congratulations. People know who they are.
However, I am not a Christian. I was one once, before Jesus showed me mercy and led me to the wilderness, where He is protecting me for a time, times, and half a time.
What you are ignorant of, is that that not everything in the Scriptures apply to everyone. The Apostles had to grow in grace and knowledge. It is they who formed the great false church too. This church later rejected all of them. This church carried over to the 2nd century A.D. and is still very much with us. It still has that top down organizational structure of Satan. Those in the true Church of the Living God have Jesus as their King and Teacher only. But, I waste my time in speaking of such things.

How could He be a Christian , that i understand, but I thought being a Christian was being a follower a Christ and by Faith we walk. So what are you if you are not a Christian? blessings peggy

Hi Peggy,
I suppose you are referring to my immediately preceding post? If so, I'm John, not Dave.
I am not of the two billion (?) or so people who call themselves Christian. I have no part with them.
I do not attend any church. I am the church, one of a few. I think Ray onetime referred to himself as being a member of the Church of the Living God. That sounds O.K. to me.
However, I'm not really into labels or titles or being a member of organizations.
I consider myself a wanderer and sojourner in the wilderness, waiting for the return of the Great King.
John
P.S. Also, Jesus and I are not Christians because we do not believe in what Christians believe. We believe in the Word of God, which is the Scriptures. Jesus is the living aspect of the Word or Expression or Statement (Greek word Logos) of the invisible God. Ray called Him God's Autobiography, which is a very good English translation of the Greek word Logos. Jesus is the Mighty God, Creator and Savior of all. He is in me and gives me Life and rules in the Temple of my innermost being, what the Scriptures call the Heart.
