Sharing Your Faith

Last Conversation Mr. Mike Was Learning About Unity and Diversity God Teaches Both Unity and Diversity, But Not Like the World.

The Conversation Continues Mr. Mike Has Been Looking For a Church. Mr. Mike and Randall Begin Talking About the One Church of the Bible. Mr. Mike Was Always Taught That There Is More Than One Church. “Jesus is the Vine and the Denominations are the Branches.” Mr. Mike Heard This From a Lutheran Minister.

Jesus, The Vine, and the Branches John 15:1-11 Denominations Use This Passage to Justify Their Existence from the Bible. What’s The Problem? Jesus Is Not Talking About Churches. He’s Talking About Individuals.

Men Are The Branches Jesus Is Talking to the Apostles. No Church Exists at This Time. “You Abide In Me” (v. 4). “You Are the Branches” (v. 5). “If Anyone Does Not Abide In Me, He is thrown Away” (v. 6).

Matt 16:18 “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it.”

1 Cor 1:10 “Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree, and there be no divisions among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.”

The Goal of Each Individual Should Be To Find The Church Jesus Built…Not The Church They Like the Best.
