Christianity has many different offerings around the world.
The most popular offering is the meeting in a church building.
People get together and give themselves names, some names are known as denominations.
They make up their own set of rules that makes sense to them.
Others call themselves independent of these denominations and they have a different set of rules that suits them.
Then there are those that don't go to these church buildings and worship on their own with their own interpretation as what they think is the right way to be a Christian, at least for them.
My opinion is that most of them regardless of their differences, have it right.
That's where the ecumenical movement comes in, which I am totally against, for various reasons.
The church building itself causes division in the church, and that alone can be debated forever.
But worship without a church building is hard to debate.
Because it belongs to the individual, not a group.
Everyone's right in my eyes, except for the cults.
But without the group in a church building for support, how do you know what is a cult?
And since cults are usually in church buildings, how can you divide things up?
Well, I've come to the conclusion that a personal relationship with Jesus through the Holy Spirit is the only way to figure out the truth.
And that can be done in or out of a church building.
So the decision is yours.
You want the group support to help you grow, or have you passed that?
In any case, if you walk with Jesus everyday through your personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, I believe you'll be okay.
What's your take on all this?
