Is belonging to a particular denomination within the barriers of
Christianity, which you believe portrays The Holy Bible and Jesus Christ's
perfect example correctly and truly guaranty you a ticket
to heaven? Short and straight to the point simplified simply speaking for
any eight grader to understand, “can we as Christians belonging to a particular
denomination call ourselves the true church?” Well let’s start by defining everything
related to this question once again (that were previously defined in my
past-related- previous blogs).
The Church can be defined as the people who choose to be Jesus
Christ’s followers or disciples here in this dark planet we call earth after
accepting His love prior to learning and understanding Jesus Christ, God or
Love (which is God). We refer to them as Christians now a days… Well for a much
better understanding (which is a repetition considering all my previous blogs),
humanity within God’s creation are in fact the church and true church before
the Fall of Man- created in God’s Image and likeness (were in righteousness)
according to the book of Genesis within The Holy Bible. Or in other words, the
relationship between God and Adam and Eve (human beings) were not broken and
they were connected to the tree of life which is God (love)-God visited and was
within Adam and Eve (their body, soul, temple, or church). Due to the
introduction of sin or the Fall of man, this relationship was broken. So that
would mean, people who once again believe in Jesus Christ and want this
relationship to be reestablished when Jesus Christ returns, are in fact the
church.
A denomination is a group of religious congregations having its
own organization and a distinctive faith. Or in other words, a denomination is
a blueprint, teaching, guide or a distinctive faith that is believe to direct
the church, believers and followers of Jesus Christ in the right direction in
order for them to learn and know God according to His Word The Holy Bible
(which the ultimate goal should be to 100% fully and truly follow God-Jesus
Christ’s perfect example). Today we have many denominations within the barriers
of Christianity (The Seventh Day Adventist Church, Catholic Church, Lutheran
Church, Baptist Church, Assembly of God, etc…)
The true Church can be defined as the people who 100% fully and
truly follow (obey) Jesus Christ’s example as stated in The Holy Bible during
their unknown duration of time here on planet earth. Meaning following every
aspects: from keeping the Sabbath Day on the right day as stated in The Holy
Bible, how to be baptize by water and the Holy Spirit as stated in The Holy
Bible, Body temperance since our Body is the temple of God as stated in The Holy
Bible, how to repent and confess our sins as stated in The Holy Bible, etc… The
true Church are the people that will follow Jesus Christ or God throughout
their life time here on planet earth (which can only happen if they have Jesus
Christ within them).
So can we as Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, or the church
belonging to a particular denomination call or refer to ourselves as the “true
church”? Or in other words, can we as Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, or
the church belonging to a particular denomination say we are in fact without
sin and are just like Jesus Christ, righteous and perfect in God’s character or
principality which is love? No! We would be liars if we think or say such a
thing. Only God is the true and just judge since His Principality and Character
is just, righteous and everlasting. Psalm 7:11 reads, “God is a just judge, And
God is angry with the wicked every day.” Also, Psalm 145:17 reads, “The Lord is
righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.” Since we are not the
true judge, than we are not to judge others or say we are in fact the true
Church because only “The” true Judge can judge and say who is fact the true
Church or not-upon judgement day when Jesus Christ returns, simply because only
the true church (those who 100% fully and truly follow Jesus Christ’s example
can have eternal life which was promised by Jesus Christ within John 3:16)!
Jesus in fact stressed this within Mathew 23 (Woe to the scribes and
Pharisees), simply because both the scribes and Pharisees are human beings just
like you and me-born into this dark sinful earth-not righteous. Then one would
ask, what about Jesus Christ? Was He born a human being just like you and me?
Well, yes, but even better… Jesus Christ was in fact born God in human form
(incarnation) through the Holy Spirit’s which is mysterious and
miraculous in which Mary was with child which is Jesus Christ, and He was found
without sin from His childhood until the day He died, arose from the grave and
ascended to heaven-that is why only He can be our perfect example and
light to this sinful dark planet earth. Or in other words, He is righteous,
that is why He said woe to the Scribes and Pharisees according to Mathew 23.
Also in John 8 when faced with an adulteress, Jesus Christ proved that He is in
fact righteous and the true judge. Mathew 8:7 reads, So when they continued
asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among
you, let him throw a stone at her first.” So that would mean, only Jesus Christ
can determine who is in fact the true church upon His second coming, and the
judgement day.
That is how essential we must receive Jesus Christ and keep Him
within us (God’s temple or church) in order to have “that” eternal life which
was promised by Christ in John 3:16. You see my friends, in Luke 15: the other
sheeps that were not lost did not went out looking for the sheep that was lost,
the Shepard did until He found the sheep. The other coins or even the woman’s
friends who after celebrated with her, never went looking for that one lost
coin, the woman did until she found the lost coin. The servants, maid servants,
or the father’s eldest son that was loyal and remained with the father were not
with compassion, who then ran, fell on the younger son’s neck and kissed him,
the father did! That’s how great love is: Jesus Christ is… Only through Him, we
can have eternal life since He is the way, the truth, and the life-light to
this dark planet we call earth. We must have Jesus Christ within us (His temple
or church) throughout our “LIFETIME” or “EVERYDAY” here on planet earth-since
Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, He promised us The Holy Spirit according to
John 14:15-31. Having the Holy Spirit within us is in fact having Jesus Christ
within us, since our Trinity God is one and united in love, which is their
principality and character (God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy
Spirit). And when we as Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, or church have
The Holy Spirit within us throughout our lifetime here on earth, we can be able
to become the true church and have eternal life (which only God can determine
upon Jesus Christ’s second coming and the judgement day). So that would mean
anyone else or even our own judgments mean nothing except God’s
judgement. Remember, “Jesus Christ is coming again, time is something we
all don’t have, and the power of choice is yours!”
