“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11
The Body of Christ is fractured and in a state of disarray.
This has been caused by leaders who have failed to build doctrine on the foundation of Christ.
Why the Body of Christ is broken?
There are many reasons but the root cause is over disputing the words of Jesus.
Satan has infiltrated Christianity and worked through the leadership to create false or very liberal interpretations of scripture. The goal of Satan is to fracture the Body of Christ and weaken the teachings of Jesus. And, he has been very successful.
The leaders in the Body of Christ whitewash the truths of God to justify their own motives. They manipulate scripture to support the purposes of religion.
In the mind of God, there are no denominations, divisions or different interpretations of scripture.
This sectarianism has been created by human divisiveness and manipulation to support a specific point of view.
There should be no conjecture or deviations of doctrine in the Body of Christ. We all build on the bedrock of Jesus united in the values and teaching of Christ.
The divisiveness in the Body of Christ will probably never end until Jesus comes back to unite His church. In the meantime, the people of Christ should respect the views of others whether they agree or disagree with doctrine. You can avoid conflict by finding a church aligned with the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus is based on relationship!
Christianity has established preset rules and boundaries for a relationship with God. The leaders mostly reject the importance of a personal relationship built on hearing the voice of God. It is impossible to have an authentic relationship with Jesus if you are not in contact with the voice of God.
The purpose of a New Testament church.
The New Testament Church is a filling station for believers. You assemble to praise God, sing hymns and spiritual songs, pray, and to be filled with the truths of Christ. The church should have an open door policy and never attempt to control or confine believers. The purpose is to equip and send believers out into the world to proclaim the gospel.
There is a strong movement to dispel the importance of the Holy Spirit. This is because the Holy Spirit exposes corruption and false teaching. The reality of God comes to those who live under the authority and teaching of the Holy Spirit.
God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
God is the Creator of the heavens and earth. Jesus, the Son of God, has power and dominion over all things, and the Holy Spirit speaks for God and is our connection to the Living Christ. There are no other gods.
Salvation is an everlasting gift from God for all those who elect to live by faith in Christ.
Jesus is the only way a human being can be redeemed by God. You must confess your sins, seek repentance and ask Jesus to cover you with His blood.
You must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. The miracle of salvation is to be baptized with Water and Spirit and become transformed into a new creature in Christ Jesus.
The Christ follower is sealed with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ and teaches you the reality of salvation.
We are designed by God to walk in oneness with Jesus under the authority of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus has one voice. He speaks through the Holy Spirit to bring glory to God and unify the Body of Christ.
