@DearAmbellina2113 understandable, well I have seen the devil, I don't understand why it so hard for people to understand this, so what did I see then? if I make it to heaven I will see you in hell. Don't worry in judgement day God will reveal all your bad and good deeds, what was careless spoken from the heart, and even thoughts.
@DearAmbellina2113 there are times that I doubt but I always go back to Pascal's wager. Blaise Pascal was a 17th century French mathematician, physicist, inventor, and philosopher. His wager is fascinating...
There are sects and cults who have twisted or added to the Bible in an attempt to lead people astray, they are due to the schemes of the devil but non of them are more powerful than God.
God sees the true condition of the human heart and will work everything for his glory in the end.
We don't know what's going on in the final moments we go through when passing from this life to the next, I think everyone will see truth revealed in those moments and they can choose to follow Christ or reject him, even if they have been indoctrinated by one of the cults.
It will be like the thief on the cross. He hadn't led a good life but Jesus still said "Today you will be with me in Paradise" ❤
@PatientlyWaiting25 Paul says sects not cults but sects groups of Christianity that left the true one following church that won't inherit the kingdom of God. This particularly seen when Paul address dissensions in early Christianity.
@takedredpill when Paul is talking about factions and dissensions I think he means people arguing and creating bad feeling and division, it's grouped in with "things of the flesh" which would imply something different to healthy discussion but it was more important that the early church was united in what they believed.
I'm also thinking about Mark 9:38-40 when John told Jesus he'd seen someone who didn't follow them casting out demons in Jesus name and told him to stop. Jesus's response was "don't stop him because nobody who does a mighty work my name will be able in the next moment to speak bad of me"
It was before the establishment of the church but it gives us understanding of what Jesus thinks about other groups outside of our own denomination.
I hope this makes sense, it was a quick reply as I'm heading out to church myself now xx
How many different beliefs are there in the church concerning some of the basic scriptures.
And that's just a few of the things the church disagrees on, so which church is a heretic? And each Church thinks they're right.
And the information that's out there sometimes you lean to support one more than the other but ignored.
I guess that's why Paul said don't argue over words that it's pointless.
That is one of several reasons why atheist and agnostics attack, and poke at Christians....... And it all started in the second or third century, when the church of Rome wanted to separate itself from the Jewish ways and the churches of the Roman provinces in Asia Minor didn't but wanted to continue under the Jewish ways, that was the first separation. The separation became official in 1054 AD.
And it has been continuing throughout the centuries different theologies.
@PatientlyWaiting25 I looked over this and also found some articles about FDA regulations and law suits. As an aromatherapist, do you have to for insurance protection like actual doctors do? Edit: I see you’re in Great Britain. I assume they have rules and regulations too.
