    There is no perfect church here on earth Brother Steve...none. However, read all the books/epistles Apostles Paul, Peter, James, and John wrote. Then the books written by Luke...they were all addressed to the local church. Whether it was in Rome, Thessalonica, Corinth, Colosse, Phillippi, &c, it was directed at a body of believers.


    I know I will never "gain" you, and this is my last post in this thread, but I want you to ponder what I wrote. God placed the church here on earth for a reason....

    Years ago I sat in a church that told me I put my child in hell. I have witnessed more sinning amongst church people than from aethiest (including marital infidelity, homosexuality, pedofelia (sic), lying, stealing,con artists, thieves, drunks and drug addicts etc --- and that was just the pastors) so yea. Then the Holy Spirit gave me sight and the gift of understanding.

    Now my kids go to a church that doesn't rape them....doesn't lie to them, doesn't pollute their minds, where they love and glorify in God and enjoy Him. The way it was meant to be.

    Yea.....you gotta remember that I live in New Jersey:D

    What has any of this to do with your initial post.....something about killing Calvinism? Up here where I live, Calvinism is killing itself. We got lots of catholic, PCUSA & United Methodists ...... Calvinists, not so much. Take a guess why?

    You know the old saying, when you find the perfect church join it! Then it won't be perfect anymore! We all sinners saved by grace............

    Sure you will....but in the mean time it is just another excuse to absent yourself from a local assembly.

    You have never been a member of such a church...most likely have never been inside one:laugh:

    I guess I am a nascar racer, or pro athlete then by just using my imagination also......never been in a race car, or professional uniform however:laugh:

    no...you are doing so well on your own....according to you, all churches and pastors are evil criminals...

    could be.....you like the pub much better anyway...no stuffy church people to hold you accountable:thumbsup:

    Ahhhhhh.......

    “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses it
    saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot

    Thank you Lord! You alone are good and I enjoy you immensely!
