Thank you again Tudor. I have a question. The churches are so corrupt. Most of them teach this type of theology, or they are Catholic churches. The seventh day adventists seem to have some truth, but they elevate Ellen White. Where can we go to be with other Bible believers? What if people don't attend a church? Is that ok? What does the Bible say about attending church?

Thank You, Shelie R.

These are important questions that I've struggled with as well. You will find that everyone has a part of the truth, but because of basic principles always veers off the narrow road. Adventists are the last ones seeing prophecy historically, which identifies the Catholic System, but like you said they elevate Ellen White, who I've proved is a false prophet in my End Times Series, and they still cling to the Investigative Judgment which is horrible. But this is because they are synergistic in their understanding of salvation (meaning freewill based), and so they have no security in their gospel because it ultimately depends on something you have to do to maintain it, whereas the gospel says God is sustaining us.

Reformed Baptists are good for soteriology (salvation theology), but they get tripped up by end times ideas. John MacArthur I've heard is a dispensationalist, which frankly I have no clue how you can reconcile with a belief in election. But there you go.

Christ said that where two or more are gathered in His name, there He is. I think as this age winds to a close and our lives are increasingly more digitized, there may be an online component to this because God isn't limited by physical things. I've tried to find a place too, but the non-denominational ones are often very lukewarm or seeker sensitive. So, it's tough honestly.

It is good to get together with other believers, discuss, encourage one another -- that's definitely God's plan -- so you will have to decide what matters and when. If you find a place that's great for fellowship but lukewarm on theology, maybe just use it for the groups and for weekly get togethers. We don't have to have perfect theology to be saved. For some fellowship with others is more important than others, and for some theology is more important than others. You have to find where you fall on those lines and also be clear about why you are going to a particular place. Don't feel guilty if you're having a hard time finding a church though, we're living in the age of maximum deception so these things have been pre-ordained.

There always remains doubt in a proclaimed believers mind and that doubt is rooted in attachment to dogma that won't digest past the degree honest disernment we all possess but freely deny.

The mixing of truth with lies only leaves emotion to decide on picking our own truth, easy believeism, socialism, catholicism, communism, paganism, zionism and all the other isms used for emotional justification of belief.

Your honest devotion to truth is a treasure and very rare today.

Thank you friend, I appreciate your kindness. Truth is everything. If we seek the truth we will have everything else, but if we don't have the truth then everything we have is nothing.

Synergist philosophy is one of the lies of Mystery Babylon, and it certainly dominates culture today. I have a whole series planned on Salvation but that will be in a few months as there is much to talk about!

That's crazy, but I'm not surprised. All spells have the same thing in common and that is that they introduce ideas by way of sneaking assumptions in under emotions. This is why we are told to be sober minded, and to test everything. Dispensationalism is not a rational position and hardly ever do I see anyone looking at the evidence, of which there is so much of. And you are correct, few see that part of the error of Dispensationalism is Arminianism. Those who reject synergism and see the beauty and truth of election can not possibly also believe that God chooses to save people based on their flesh and, despite His choice, most of those people are lost in rebellion. It is total nonsense.
