  7. Why do church members do wrong?

    18  (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
    19  Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

    1 Timothy 4
    1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
    2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

    2 Timothy 3
    1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
    2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
    3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
    4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
    5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

  8. Why are there so many different churches?

    1 Corinthians 3
    1  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
    2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
    3  For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
    4  For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
    5  Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

    1 Corinthians 12
    12  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
    13  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
    14  For the body is not one member, but many.

    1 Corinthians 11
    19  For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

    2 Peter 2
    1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
    2  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

    Ephesians 1
    17  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
    18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
    19  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
    20  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
    21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
    22  And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
    23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.








     
  9. Must I join the church to be a Christian?

     Matthew 28
    18  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
    19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
    20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

    Acts 2
    38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    39  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
    40  And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
    41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
    42  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
    47  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

    Hebrews 10
    25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.








     
  10. Are things of this world wrong for Christians?

     1 John 2
    15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
    16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
    17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

    John 17
    14  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
    15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
    16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
    17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
    18  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
    19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

    1 Peter 4
    2  That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
    3  For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
    4  Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
    5  Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
