Fellowship in Cape Town, South Africa

CDJ:
Good morning,

I am at Part 15C of the Lake of Fire series, and what I thought I knew about God's Word, I didn't. It was easy to speak to my friends in the past, about the things I thought I knew, not really paying attention that not much what I've said was backed up by Scriptures. The only way I see it, is that the carnal had to be understood, in order to distinguish the spiritual.

I haven't attended church for over 2 years because I've become so used to 'falling away', that I didn't even wanted to try anymore. My friends couldn't understand it, and neither could I. Obviously one feels guilty. I still share what I learn with my friends, but after hearing the Truth through Ray, it's becoming more and more difficult. When you talk about a gospel which sends people to hell, to burn forever, everybody is too keen to join the discussion. Once you start talking about a different place, they tend to shy away from you, with words like "You need to go to church. You need fellowship." Well fine, show me a church that teaches what I learning now, and I'll go. I ALL for fellowship, it's just that people don't understand yet. 100m from my house is a Joshua Generation Church, and I thought I'd look into it. On their website I found their doctrine and here is a few snippets...

"We are a non-denominational ministry built on the Word of God. Isaiah 8:18 says "We are signs and wonders for the Lord our God..."...
...There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons:...
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation... "

The whole doctrine sounds really honest, and if I didn't know what I knew now, I'd have gone to their church, to give it one more try. Nothing in doctrines ever make crystal clear sense. I'm a firm believer that there is One Truth and One Truth only, and the one things that disappoints me of churches, is that doctrines are confusing. The main thing that churches teach is salvation, but the one's version confuses more than the others - none of it made sense, hence unbelief and frustration, and eventually 'falling away'.

For now, I'm learning on my own and speak to whoever wants to listen, looking forward to reading posts on this forum and getting to know you all, but there's still a longing in my heart for fellowship here in my own city, because I am sure there are like-minded people around here. Does anybody know of a fellowship group in Cape Town, South Africa?

Regards and keep fighting the good fight.

Dear CDJ,

I want to welcome you home.  All of us here, at one time or another, have gone through what you have been experiencing.  There is nothing like having fellowship with other brothers and sisters, but having fellowship with brothers and sisters of like mind is truly the ultimate blessing.  I think that you can find all that your spirit needs and wants is right here with us.  Everyone here can give the same testimony, that we were all lonley until we came here, but not anymore.  I'm looking foward to your fellowship and getting to know you.  We have a dear sister from your neck of the woods and am sure that she also will be delighted to get to know you. ;)

Your brother in Christ,

Dwight

Welcome CDJ,

It is great to see you here, many of us can relate to your experience of feeling out of sync with the denominational (& non-denominational) churches. Praise God!

We look forward to your fellowship,

Joe

Hi CDJ,

I'm glad that you have come to the forum. 
It can be really hard when you began to realize that the church not only does not teach the Truth, but indeed teaches much false teachings, that then must be unlearned. 
Don't hesitate to join in with questions or just to make comments. 
Once you get use to the forum, I believe you will feel very comfortable being here with us  :)

mercy, peace, and love
Kat
