Help Kiddy Choose a Church

[Kidlicious]

If you want to learn Christian philosophy, it doesn't matter much where you go. It doesn't save, heal, or deliver.

I disagree. Jesus said, Watch Out! Beware of all kinds of greed.

[Straybow]

No, Jesus said to watch out for false prophets. Peter said they were clouds without water (bringing no life). Paul said they hold to an outward form of godliness but deny the power of true godliness (salvation, healing, deliverance).

The Methodist Church is against prosperity preaching. I'm gonna stick with it for now.

Luke 12:15 (New International Version)
15Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."

I dunno... dem Episcopalians got it pretty easy too. A couple of rituals you're supposed to follow- but if not, don't sweat it.

I think if you count the Europeans you'll find that most Catholics put less effort into their faith than Episcopalians do.

Try the Episcopalian Church. It's a church where you don't have to put away your mind when you go in.

The devils are orthodox.
-Billy Graham

Ohhhhh, Billy Graham. Letsee, while his fellow Christains were marching against the American Apartheid what did Billy and his pal Norman Vincent Peale do? Absolutely nothing. They "didn't want to take sides" in this "secular" struggle. They wanted to be able to "preach to the souls" ( and the wallets ) of both sides. IMHO both Billy Graham and Norman Vincent Peale were highly over-rated.

Methodists are often good churches, in Australia the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists merged to form the Uniting Church. I attend the Uniting Church and the senior minister is of Methodist background so we can be brothers in Christ.
There is a wide variety of teaching in the Methodist (Uniting) church ranging from evangelical to liberal to mystical. If they teach the Power of God to change lives, offer forgiveness of sins, then it is a church that is well worth attending and your choice of church will be the one God is leading you too.

Methodists.

Not particularly helpful in choosing a church. Prosperity Doctrine is passé. The stuffed suits are the ones that'll get you thinking that thinking is saving. It isn't.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Prosperity Doctrine is passé.

Plenty of big time preachers, such as T.D. Jakes and Joel Osteen, still like to use it, though.
