A christian cannot grow spiritually by staying apart from the church becoz a church is the group of believers and we as human beings all have some or other imperfections. Instead of criticizing others, we should learn to see our own mistakes in the light of God's word and correct ourselves so that we can be a better example to others in leading them to draw closer towards Christ and the church can become a better place for all to gather in the name of Jesus if we all have the same attitude and love towards one another becoz God's word says that love covereth all mistakes.

I think God is not pleased when we compromise with the world. There is a way to be who you are in Christ without preaching to co-workers etc. I see and have experienced this problem, but I’m becoming less and less of a compromiser.

I always remember my dear late grandfather saying to us "You will never find the perfect church...because YOU are the church!" So, to anyone who says "I am looking for the perfect church, that's why I am not fellowshipping at the moment........then take a look at yourselves! The Bible tells us in Romans that there are non without sin...not one! So we are all sinners, saved by the grace of God, and not one of us is perfect in any way. The only perfect person is the Lord Jesus Christ, and it is to Him we should turn our attention, our hearts and our minds, not to other people. Our foremost goal in this life should be to please God, not other people. Secondly, yes, we do need to fellowship and associate with fellow Christians and like-minded folk who agree on all aspects of God's Word and Biblical truths. The Book of Acts shows us that the early Christians delighted in meeting together often for prayer, breaking of bread, and obviously Bible study (reading the Scriptures in those early days) and talking about Jesus. So, it is important that we strengthen our spiritual well being by meeting, sharing, praying and praising God with fellow Christians. Their input and sharing will encourage and keep us steadfast in following God's principles for our lives. i have heard so many Christians say they are disillusioned by their Church pastors/leaders/members actions and teachings and thus they dropped out of going to church. yes, UR right that what is missing………..UR!

Adapting God's Word to suit modern society to try and encourage people to become "Christians" is not only wrong, it is an abomination to the Lord. The Bible is very definite and clear about "unnatural' behaviour between two men or two women, and we find clear directions, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament affirming God's abomination of these practices. The Bible also tells us that in the latter times, even so-called Godly men will turn from the Truth of God's Word and rather please man than God. Yes, love the sinner, but hate the sin, but if the sinner won't listen to corrective advice, then, as the Bible says, leave them alone. God gives each one of us a choice....and if anyone chooses to ignore God's purpose and plans for our lives, then they have to face the consequences of their actions, both in this world, and the next.

I totally agree that we should ask God to open our hearts and minds when we are reading his book - I should have put that at the top of my list! Also agree that people tend to forget that the new testament characters only had the old testament as their scriptures. Its fantastic how they learnt about Jesus and knew he was coming just from reading the old testament too - and those people who really studied the scriptures were looking out for his arrival.
