***We have either the Christian Church or Gnosticism. There is no other way outside of atheism.***

You are correct, YOU have either the church of knowledge.

I have Jesus Christ as my savior. It is he who saved me from my sins, it is he who changed me from death to life everlasting, it is he who took my broken body and gave me life. The church did none of those. If your church is able to do that, Halleluyah. My God did it for me. Worship your church if that makes you happy. I will worship God the Father, through Jesus Christ his Son, by the power and help of the Holy Spirit. Worship your idols, worship your church, enjoy your life, as long as it lasts.

Amen, irish. The church will never get them into heaven, only into deception.

***I have Jesus Christ as my savior.***

He is the only one who can.

***it is he who took my broken body and gave me life***

Broken? Or simply without grace. Those are two different conditions, my friend.

***My God did it for me***

We don’t have a god. Our God has us. We are His creatures and He is our Creator. We do not create a god in our own image, keep him on the hall stand, and pat his head for luck as we walk by.

***Worship your church if that makes you happy. ***

We do not worship the Church of Jesus Christ. We only worship Him.

***Worship your idols, worship your church, enjoy your life, as long as it lasts.***

We have no idols, not even Reformed ones. But we do not claim to have authority from the Holy Spirit to act as we will, based upon that indwelling Spirit. When we sin, it comes from us. When the Reformed sin, it comes from the Reformed God.
