I have given you scripture, over and over again, but you haven't really given any to prove that the local churches are supposed be many different doctrines and teachings. What you have said is some count and some don't. That's like the church of Christ saying we are the real church, because the others are broken denominations. They are a denominations too. So prove it.
I have no obligation to "prove" something you claim is "like" what I've said.
What you have given is Scripture that is vaguely related to the points you are making, but does not clearly and directly support your assertions. All the Scripture in the Bible doesn't prove that you aren't merely a faction of one.

You won't give scripture, because those two scriptures that people use don't explain that. You don't have any scripture. Everything in the bible is not going to be explained word for word. That is why we need the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:13-14 13This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 14The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
I'm being serious. I've not read this complete thread so I don't know what it's all about and what is going on here.
But yeah, that's what they preached. If you missed church then you were in hot water with God got an x or whatever.
It's good for others to encourage people to go to church, but to try to force them to be there and not even knowing why they missed or are missing a service is a different story.
So yeah, I'm being serious that's exactly what they taught if you missed you were in trouble and there was no excuse for it.

Going to church is usually where people start out, but if you really are seeking God you hit a block. These local churches are not under God. Church keep you in infancy. Seek God on your own and you will find him. 1 john 2:27.
The Holy spirit will teach you. God don't give you an "x" for not attending church, the people in that church do. Attending Church does not say you. Is there some reason why you stop going?

There is only one statement you made here that is true.
"The Holy Spirit will teach you."
But in every post you have made, it is obvious that you are not following the Holy Spirit, nor learning from Him.
Satan has deceived you.
Your post are only promoting Satan and his planned destruction of the Lords churches.

AAAANNNND... we start another round of your silliness.
"These local churches are not under God. Church keep (sic) you in infancy." You have not yet supported these assertions from Scripture. Perhaps this time you will.
You are conflating several issues here. Not going to church because "Church keep (sic) you in infancy" is a far cry from not going to church every week because life happens.

Ok, I think I get what is going on here. I agree that we should seek God for ourselves and not just depend on church members or other people to teach us, but I also think that it is good to fellowship with others. I've learned a lot from God and he has also used others to teach me through their preaching and testimonies.
As far as the reason I do not attend that particular church anymore, I probably shouldn't comment about it. I guess all I can say is that it wasn't the right church for me.
