"Christian church?!?!? By WHO'S definition? Your's, the Catholic's, the Greek Orthodox???? Or the BIBLE definition?"


"All of the above and much much more."

Well, your Church, the Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church, anyway....

" If you disagree with what a local church teaches, you are by definition not part of that church."


AMEN!

" If you disagree with what the universal church teaches, you are by definition not part of that church."

AMEN!  As long as I'm part of the Church the Bible talks about (which I am) I'm fine with that!!!!!  Thanks for the encouragement!!!!

Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Jas 2:24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
