Oh, don't mind him, Ollie has a habit of posting random screptures to confuse them

Hmmmm? "Random"? "Them"?

Ok, for real, he is either talking about:

A. Joining the church God leads you too.

B. Joining an Indepent Church that is "led by the Spirit of God" and the such ,like he is no doubt a member of.

So Ollie, which is? Or am I wrong on both counts?

One does not join the church. One is added to the church by the Lord such as should be saved. However one can change congregations and join oneself to another.

The church is not independant, It is ruled by God through King Jesus who also is the Christ. It is guided by the Holy Spirit through His revealed word.

Love in Christ,

Ah-uh... DENIAL! Only 2 people say these kinds of things, Professional Catholic Apologists and Independents. I know a great Independents Anonymous group. It will really help you to come to grips with being an indepenant.

Independant of what?

[Tibby]

Independant from whatever you want. That is the beauty of the Independant Church you are a member of

OLLIE ,
SEE NOW I GET TIBBYS POINT.That is the beauty of the Independant Church you are a member of

[ollie]

Christ's church is not independent from God, His Christ, or the word of God, as given through His Holy Spirit to inspired men of God.


The religions of man however are independent from God and His Christ with their many independent rulings, doctrines, and
diversive and dividing ways that are not authorized by God or His Christ.

 hi ollie

i here ya brother you do crack me up. im pretty good getting the feel for people but your a tough one

if its not to personal i was wonderring do you attend church? and if you do wich one?

because you sound so anti church, anti astablishment?

i'm not insulting you, i figure the way you talk that you have nothing to do with any church at all, is this true. just wonderring

                 in love butcha

[Tibby]

Oh, Ollie. Independant is not a 4-letter word. Do not be scare to use it!

[ollie]

What does this statement have to do with my wondering why Christians do not identify themselves with the head of the body, Jesus Christ, instead of identities devised by men?

It is simple, once you figure out who I am referring to. THat sky Tibby, so vague in his posts

Ok, for real, I was simply making a funny at why we are not one church.

I admitt, it was lame, but I don't think it was hart to understand what I was referring, too.

The drifting away from the one church and unity in the faith started long before "Martin". In fact it started in the first century during the time of the apostles etc.

The printing press and the mass publication of Bibles probably was the beginning back to God's truth of the one church and the unity of His Spirit with the believer's spirit. After it was no longer a death sentence to copy and print Bibles.

hi ollie

Hi there,

i here ya brother you do crack me up. im pretty good getting the feel for people but your a tough one

if its not to personal i was wonderring do you attend church?

I meet and assemble with a congregation of the faithful in Christ.

 

and if you do wich one?

The one that the Bible reveals to us, Christ's, God's

because you sound so anti church, anti astablishment?

Just anti men's religion and churches of men instead of Christ.

i'm not insulting you,

I know, thanks.

 

i figure the way you talk that you have nothing to do with any church at all, is this true.

No. As I have already said before.

 

just wonderring

OK.

in love, Butcha

Likewise,
Ollie

[BUTCHA]

Before or after the bible was put together in the 3rd century

Ok really, when did the loss of unity start, Ollie? What caused it?

[Allinall]

Ollie and Tibby,

Independent=liberated.

Before.    And...

Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

1 John 2:18-19

Unity was lacking first when people began to leave.  I know whatch'yer thinkin' too.  The "protestants" left the CC, therefore, they have left.  I'd contend there man.  The CC has proof it was the church Jesus began because it says so.  The New Testament church, wasn't Baptist, Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox.  It was His.  Uniquely, still is.  Only now we have the parts naming themselves.  The Catholic head, and Baptist belly  .  The Protestant foot and the Orthodox hand.  There are saved folk in each, as well as lost.  Some teach truth, some teach heresy.  Some teach truth heretically.  Some wouldn't know truth if it came up and bit them!

Guys, we're either part of the church or we aren't.  Each knows where he stands with God, regardless of denominational standing.
