I’m a Christian and I find it offensive that one Church believes they are the ONLY way! The Bible simply says he who believes in ME will never die, you will not find ANY church by name,nor will you find the ceremonies found in any church, those are man made beliefs, which if you really think about hard and without influence of a church, says that you are following a man made thought and NOT the Bible.
The Bible also says the way to God (Heaven) is through Jesus... not through the priest. Have a relationship with Jesus (praying/speaking directly to him) not with an earthly human being (the priest). The Bible also says that when you pray to not just recite words but gives an “example” which is an example not the prayer that should be said over and over. We are to give praise, thanks, request and generally speak from our heart to God and not just reciting “Our Father Who Art In Heaven...”
While doctrines are laid out and are available for our understanding in the old and new testaments, the basic truth is that “churches, denominations etc. as commonly understood are in fact man's attempt at execution of these doctrines. Some like one tenet better or more than others etc. Some are in fact false.
A personal, relevant and real relationship with Jesus Christ (All God, the Creator and all Man, the Sacrificial Lamb and Saviour is the only status of importance. Attendance and/or membership in a “church” are irrelevant compared to this.
This relationship must be entered into HIS way, not ours, otherwise it is a matter of convenience and likely false.
Seek and you shall find. God Bless
