What can Chrisitians disagree about? |
Re-edit: 28-05-2026
If we look at the first century when the Apostles did their holy works we were warned by Paul that the false teachers the works of the anti christ have already begun. Even in the first century Satan has tried to devide the church, and unfortunately, he succeeded. But there is always a remnant. A true church of Christ, and luckily some are still around today but not many.
Satan does nothing to those churches that are already going to hell for their beliefs, therefore Christianity is the most attacked church as it is the church of the True and Living God. That is why you see many and many false teachers in churches professing to be Christians. So I do not call these Christian churches, because they are not. Satan has introduced things of the world into those churches that create idolatry.
You see it in many cults, or mega churches... The cults are very sex oriented like in orgies, most mega churches try to sell God better to the public then the Bible does. Like God is Love and if you do good you'll go to heaven, no matter who you are normal or abnormal. All is fine, but it is lie like straight from Satan's bottom.
But that is all described for the end-time period in which we live. One sign is that there is much deception, many false prophets who say, "I am the way" or "I am Christ". So it does not come as a surprise to us real Christians - it's just so sad that people are not willing to pray to the Lord for the Revelation of Scripture. I think they rather be ignorant because the real Truth scares them to bits. And it should, because even the devil and demons tremble in presence of God.
Why these people want to follow a lie and then find out that there not going to heaven is beyond me, yet not. They are still slave to sin, and they won't have the Truth to set them free.
So, there only some churches that really want to profess all of Scripture, who profess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Churches that only see Scripture as the Truth, they don't bend the Truth like other churches do and they have also ears to receive what revelations other brothers or sisters have. These churches, these have Christ in the middle, Christ is the head of the Church. And the Word is the only source of Truths and contains the complete Truth of what man needs to now about God and revelation of Jesus Christ.
But a lot churches have gone astray. So it would be difficult to find the right Christian church because Satan has defiled a lot of them already. For the most obvious reasons you should take a look at simple things like does this church follow the 10 commandments? Most mega churches - that do the prosperity gospel - which is no gospel of our Lord, they coveth money and richness in everything, those do not comply. They have fallen for idolatry. God hates idolatry. The only Idol there should be for any man is Jesus Christ. Another church that actually scores very badly on the 10 commandments and much more is the Roman Catholic church. Satan was already busy with this church for long time. And ofcourse there are so called cults like Mormons. They have a moral standard far below what God intended and they worship another christ. Again Idolatry and flesh oriented. Then then there are Jehova's witnesses of which I can say one good thing. These people, if they would convert to the real faith, they would be great assets to the faith, as they go door to door and out in the open and proclaim the good news. What there is against this church however is that they don't acknoledge the Holy Ghost as a person and Christ is not accepted as deity. Now these guys are on very very thin ice. Without making a debate about this - I just gonna warn everybody - don't hook yourself onto these churches unless you want to convince thém of the real faith.
Now we get to the point. If you have a few good churches, why do they have different names and do they all agree on the same? The one thing you can see about these churches is that all are of Christ and that fellowship between the brothers and sisters is indistinguishable from if they are all at their own churches. And that is common among all believers of Jesus Christ, they are all of the same Father - indwelled with the Holy Spirit striving to be Holy through Jesus Christ. So differences are there but they do not devide the faith. It's more on how only a few things are interpreted. But none if these churches is afraid of the Truth, if there is something interpreted wrong, they will adapt and adopt that what is right.
One common divided interest is the time of the rapture of the church - an event when those who are asleep in Christ will resurrect and after that those who are alive in Christ will be taken up to heaven before the Wrath of God comes over the wicked. Some believe in a 7 year tribulation period of God's Wrath, others say it is only the Great Tribulation 3,5 years. So one believes it is before the seven years (actually the last week of Daniel), the other says perhaps before the 3,5 years Great Tribulation and some before the time of Wrath of the Sixth seal in the book of Revelation. And others even say it is at the very end of the Great Tribulation. Whenever it may be it does not devide these brothers and sisters. And it is no secret that the Bible keeps this as a mistery like the mistery of the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord, when that will be. You see, especially on youtube many are proclaiming that we are in the end-time. And they are right about that because most of the signs and prophecies of the Matthew 24 and and parts of scripture are defenitly here and now. But not all signs are there. We is still a war to come over Israel the war (Gog of Magog). The prophecy tells us that there will be an alliance between Russia and Persia (Russia and Iran) and Russia will lead an attack with selective set of Muslim countries against Israel. For sure they will loose, because this time they are up against God, and at great costs two thirds of that army will not return. Another sign that should bring us close to the end-time is the Temple of God. This temple will be used by the anti-Christ - because for the world he will proclaim himself to be God. And he will be a world leader, like in the world leader. But none of these signs are there yet. But these signs are building up rapidly. But the fact is, we just don't know when the end-time is really near. So you can speculate but you can never be sure. The real churches of Christ know that, that is way Christ said - keep watch, check signs to see when Redemption is near. So this is another topic that on which believers can be devided but only as matter of interest. But that is what you get when a misteries are introduced.
Though, if you touch the morals of Christ or the commandments of Christ, the very Being of Christ, the Holy Trinity, or bend the way of Christ then trouble is ahead.
So what is good church? Like I said churches that use the Bible as the ultimate Truth and teach from the Word of God. I can recommend the following churches that I have found and followed on Youtube:
- Voddy Baucham's sermons
- John Barnett online teachings (lot about end-time teachings, using the view of the pre -7-year tribulation rapture)
It is ofcourse for you to understand that any sermon about Scripture you hear is to be inspected by you because God expects you to do so. God wants you to actively know Him. The way to do that is throug prayer and ask for revelation and then by reading the Bible. The Holy Ghost will give you revelation for what you need to know. But being indwelled with the Holy Ghost means you have repented. Therefore many have lots more trouble reading the Bible while not repenting then those the have repented.
Start your day and Glorify Jesus Christ, repent, and read the Word, receive the rest of Christ, receive the Holy Spirit... if you only knew what that does to you!
