I appreciate your answer
Senior Christians also have this detest I think for confused and doubtful people
I can see how it might be frustrated that there is doubt of something you stand so strongly on but everyone was a "newbie" at some point
I don't see how questions are to be detested and shunned rather than answered and explained
There are two parts of belief I think, belief in your heart and in your mind
You feel the connection to God but also understand it in order to open your eyes
Don't be too put off by anybody here questioning your sincerity. God has set authorities up to test things to ensure others are protected against trolls and trouble-makers. I can imagine they have a lot on their plate, and can be expected to be skeptical.
You know who you are, and God knows who you are. I greatly respect your ability to stand up and speak out even as a "newbie." You have a lot going for you in this regard.
Put up with a little "disbelief," or "skepticism," I suggest. For every one who is sincere, as you appear to be, there are brilliant "fakes." So there has to be this "testing" process.
So who won't fail in your opinion
Pardon me if you explained yet I don't understand which is probable
Are you suggesting the orthodox nomination doesn't hold strong pillars itself as well as some others and which one you think does
The word you're looking for is "denomination"--not "nomination." Jesus said that the path is wide that leads to destruction, and many go down that way.
He said this to Jews, who were "God's People." He could very well have been saying this to Christians, as well, who over time largely slip back into subtle forms of paganism.
In a nutshell, people are weak. We are *all* weak! We need to pray and seek the help of fellow Christians. We need to find ways to strengthen ourselves spiritually, and to take measures to avoid pitfalls.
But being that people are weak overall, we can expect most churches and denominations to fail over time. The majority swallow up or suppress the minority of good Christians, accusing them of "narrow-mindedness" or "judgmentalism." Churches split and reformations/reivals are needed.
Biblical Prophecy has anticipated that this problem with human weakness will result in an endtimes scenario, in which the Antichrist is worshiped across the world. 10 former Christian nations of European origin will, I believe, come to follow the Antichrist as "Christian law" is suppressed, and other religions are made equal to Christianity.
Those who don't follow are those who follow the biblical mandate to "be wise." I hope that's all of us here and anywhere else that solid Christian teaching is encouraged. We should not get too emotional over peripheral differences, or arguments over ceremony.
