Any true Churches
Douglas Wayne Thomas:
Having read a great deal of these posts has got me thinking. Is every Christian church so wrong that they have nothing good to offer their followers? I am not trying to start WW3 here just asking.
Are we supposed to ignore everything that the "mainstream churches" do because we know that many of the doctrines that they teach are false? Is there a church around that teaches the truth? Can I physically fellowship with anyone in a church where the truth is being taught? How would I find out about such a church if one did exist? Just some questions I have. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
Seeking God's truth always.

Hello Douglas,
Have you read part 8 of the Lake of Fire series: WHERE IS THE CHURCH THAT JESUS BUILT? [http://bible-truths.com/lake8.html] This may give you the answers you seek.

If people gather together in a building they call a "church" and hold "services" and "worship" then they are deceived, period. Anyone who knows and believes the truth would not gather in the same manner as the modern day churches, they would make it clear that it was something different. As far as ignoring everything they do, I'm not sure I understand what you mean, churches have been known to really help the community's needy and there's nothing about that we should ignore; it's just their teachings that we need to stay away from. Not saying that everything every church teaches is wrong, but we should search for the truth in scripture and be wary of things from those churches because we know that they are blind. Truth believers would be more likely to gather in homes and have Bible studies, and you would have to attend one to see what took place and was taught to know if they were right or not.

They have no teaching that are worth anything.

No, just what they teach.

Not that we've come across.

Non question because there are no churches teaching the truth. But it's impossible not to have acquaintances outside the Body of Christ.

Beloved:
I believe that Ray would say NO there is not a church doctrine that is true
But I just looks at the words:
Fellowhip G2842 κοινωνία
koinōnia koy-nohn-ee'-ah
From G2844; partnership, that is, (literally) participation, or (social) intercourse, or (pecuniary money) benefaction: - (to) communicate (-ation), communion, (contri-), distribution, fellowship.
Church G1577
ἐκκλησία ekklēsia ek-klay-see'-ah
From a compound of G1537 and a derivative of G2564; a calling out, that is, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both): - assembly, church.
Why would I now want to participate/ social or religious intercourse with a group with false doctrines?
It does not mean that I will not have conversations with them, I just will not pray with them, they do not pray the Fathers Will.
I no longer need their social events because that caters to carnal needs and I want the spiritual now.
I will not support them financially but I will give to those who have needs.
That is why few come out...they will not rest in God's sovernity, they will not listen and follow "the Good Shepard", they would rather follow another flock of sheep led by a billy goat.
Thou shalt not commit adultery....it is not just a physical law
spiritually it mean not to mix :
good with evil, linen with the wool, Truth with false doctrines.
Beloved
