the love.  He said we will be known because we love one another.  May I wake you up a little.\n\nIn a big way today we are pretty much invisible by that standard,  ask the non believers\n\nJesus was talking about those looking from the outside in.  Does the world looking in not see a lot of loveless activity.\n\nI am not saying there is no love but I am saying there are many ways from the outside it would appear there is a lot of lets say less than lovable practices going on----denominations as an example.
Disagreement in and of itself is NOT the problem.\n\nIt is how we deal with the disagreement.  Do we respect each other's opinions?  Or do we just claim that people who disagree with our way our going to Hell?\n\nDo we let the disagreements get in the way of the practice of love and making the world a better place and especially helping the poor people?\n\nThe choice is ours.  We make it every day.
I do not attend church because of all the false teaching that spews forth from most pulpits.\n\nThe doctrines of men have replaced the pure and simple doctrines taught by Jesus Christ and the Apostles in most churches.  People in the pew believe and trust whatever comes from the pulpit, without studying scripture for themselves.\n\nWe are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, scripture says.  Therefore, I meet with a small group in my home.\n\nI would not recommend most churches to anyone.  It is sad that mainstream Christianity has become so paganized and steeped in the world's system.\n\n"Church" is not the answer anyway.  Jesus Christ is.
