What's a church? Churches are joining pagan religions, keeping pagan days, changing Gods Commandments and establishing huge organisations based on worldly power and in that way and behaviour makes leaders and members grow in the fruit of satan instead of the Fruit of GOD.
How did current churches started
The Bible clearly state, that Jesus and the Apostles didnot teach or tell to start/erect churches, because they teach all Christians that being a Christian can only be a growing proces from within by a personal organisation through the Spirit of God. God gives all Christian personal intended Spiritual Gifts for personal service for others leading to personal Fruit of GOD. Besides that: history unfolds, that the first Christians didnot have churches, churchfeasts, churchteachings or churchfruit for more than four centuries.
It was Roman Emperor Constantinus that gave orders to establish a church of state. which started at the Council of Nicea (324 AC). A fallacy that was used to justify this church erection, was the declaration, that 'the
keys Jesus gave to Peter were obtained by their current leader by means of the worldly right of succession. So: the founders of the Roman church claimed they now had been given the authority to establish a church based on babylonian foundation [trinity-godhead, sun-day-keeping, etc]... Christians will know, that 'worldly succession is definately not Gods Way or Jesus way. Christians all have to make a choice personally for or against GOD; after that choice GOD will give His Blessing, Mercy and Power according to one's personal capacity and the road HE has given them! Besides that: Jesus and the Apostles already made clear, that a personal service leading to personal Fruit are the means and goal for Christians; establishing unpersonal worldly organisations do not equal Gods means and goal!
Roman-catholic behaviour leads to 'protests' and new churches
Because of the Roman-catholic behaviour many people and several countries started protesting against it. In England a King protested, which lead to the erection of the Anglican church; still based on catholic foundation, but now lead by the King himself.
In other countries Roman-catholic priests protested and many people joined their protest and in that several kinds of 'Protestant-churches' were esthablished; still on Roman-catholic foundation [trinity godhead, changed Commandments, church feasts, etc].
The new churches become RC-followers and RC-joint-ventures
Therefor the foundation of all churches -including the RC-church- is the same: a copy from the babylonian trinity: the trinity-sungod with holy sun-day and with babylonian feasts for Astarte (Easter) and Tammuz (Christ-mas).
With their equal unbiblical foundations, Commandments, rites and feasts all churches in the world are merging in spite of paganims, unbiblical foundations and behaviour against GOD and their neighbours. This is not the save and healthy place for Christians to be!
Churches are not Christs way or goal!
We know from the Bible, that by means op baptism Christian become worthy temples themselves; worthy of becoming a temple for GOD; Christians can receive Gods Spirit in their temple and in that way Christians are true Children of GOD!
And GOD works through His Children by means of His Spirit and the given Spiritual Gifts; Gifts that Christians can put to use according Gods Commandments in service of others. In doing so Christians grow in the Fruit of the Spirit of GOD and (only) in that 'condition' Christians become worthy of receiving eternal life!!
Biblical Foundations for Christians! A biblical foundation only goes along with:
With a biblical foundation only can biblical Fruit grow!
So: if you truly want to be/become a Christian you cannot stay or go to church to become a churchmember, because that is in fact the opposite of being a Christian and what Christians should be doing and of course leading to another fruit!
Start biblical with a biblically founded believe with baptism followed by the laying on of hands in order to receive Gods Spirit and the Spiritual Gifts; Gifts you have to put to use personally according to Gods Commandments and Spirit for others so you can grow in the Fruit of the Spirit. Only in that way there is eternal life!
When we speak of the church we usually mean the building; some people even call it wrongly 'the house of God', because the house of God on Earth was the Jewish temple. To be more precise: it was the Ark of God. The church we know now is certainly not the house of GOD, but simply a building and a worldly organisation with an unbiblical foundation of believe with rules, rites and behaviour that follow that foundation and lead to worldly 'fruit of the church'.
When churches are not 'houses of God' you may wonder why and how they were started.
The global behaviour of the Roman catholic church during the following centuries till now has been filled with paganism, violence, wars, genocide, persecution, torture, inquisition, Bible-burnings, paedophily and killing.
Because the focus of those 'protesters' were almost entirely aimed at the 'bad behavioural fruit' of the Roman-catholic church and how they wanted to change that fruit they didnot understand, that the Roman-catholic fruit
came from the unbiblical foundation [trinity godhead, changed Commandments, pagan church feasts, etc]. In fact: they still do not understand it; they still have the same unbiblical foundation as the RC-church!
Christ asks every Christian to 'go out' personally in all her-/his days; this is not equal to 'going in'an unpersonal church-service in a churchbuilding on Sunday or Saturday. Churches are the opposite of what Christians should be and do.
The biblical foundation of christian believe is based on GOD sending us His Son Jesus [=the Gospel], so GOD didnot go Himself. And Jesus gave himself at the Cross and after ascending to Heaven Jesus is now sitting at the right hand of his GOD and his Father as High Priest of GOD and the Mediator between GOD and us.
