Which church is the right church?

This is a fair enough questions as there are so many different denominations, divisions and brands of Christianity that it would be hard to count them all. In 1 Corinthians 1:12 we see these words. What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.” In truth, asking someone what Church they go to is similar to what Paul says about this. “Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?”. So asking which Church is the right Church is like asking which person is the right person to follow, Paul, Apollos, Cephas, or Christ. So what is the answer then? The true Church is the Body of Christ. It is the Church that Jesus built and is building. Scripture teaches us that there is only one Church. The Church is made up of many parts, but these parts are not denominations or a man made organizations. The bible calls the true Church by these 3 titles. The Body of Christ The Bride of Christ The Church (which means assembly)  The scriptural description of Church rules out the possibility that any one denomination is the correct Church. In fact we should avoid anyone that claims that their Church is the only Church or only right Church, unless it is Jesus of course. Apart from Christ, all others are deceivers and ignorant of the fact that that the true Church belongs to Jesus Christ himself. Matthew 16 “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it”. This scripture shows us clearly that the Church belongs to Jesus. No man has the right to say my Church or your Church. It is better to be honest and say ‘my organization’ or ‘our denomination’. It is important to make this distinction as we do not want to deceive people into believing that man’s works are God’s works. This sort of deception leads men to blaspheme God because man’s works are destined to fail. Remember that all of man’s works fall short of God’s glory and we shouldn’t say that something is of God when we know that it is from man. Remember the Tower of Babel. They built a big tower so they could make a name for themselves and they even included God in their plans. Yet God judged them by dividing them into different languages, so they couldn’t unite again in this work of iniquity. Perhaps you can now see why there are so many denominations. Denominations are like the languages of Christianity, and is actually the result of a curse which is designed to lessen the impact of man’s iniquity dressed up to look like God’s work. When men are united in iniquity, much evil can result, so God divides men to lessen the impact. We see this clearly with all the denominations out there. Division in any measure, is … Continue reading Which church is the right church?
