What would you look for in a church body that you can back up with scriptural references?

What are the marks of a true Christian church?
What does their doctrine look like and what do their services and activities include?

Can you describe your church and biblically support why you are attending your particular denomination of Christianity?

The Qur'an states:“That no burdened person (with sins) shall bear the burden (sins) of another. And that man can have nothing but what he does (of good and bad). And that his deeds will be seen, Then he will be recompensed with a full and the best recompense [fair] ” (Quran 53:38-41)

1- Both Adam and Eve admitted their flaw. They repented and Allah accepted their plea:

‘Our Lord we have wronged ourselves souls. If You forgive
us not and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall
certainly be of the losers’ ” (Qur'an 7:23)

2-Our prophet taught us that children are
innocent till they reach the age of puberty.
That the people who are mentally disabled
and have mental illnesses are also
Innocent. That those who sleep walk are also
Innocent thus God is not unfair and judges
those who can not respond for their action.

God is Fair... So we do not pay for someone else's sins!

I no longer feel love, desire, or passion. Only hate, pain and hate.

The average Catholic is vague concerning the nature of the "Eucharistic presence of Christ", and one can sympathize with them, in view of the lack of clear teaching.

Protestants reject transubstantiation, and so do many Catholic scholars.

What are your views?

When I ask simple questions people answer them in rude sarcastic ways. I just want an honest opinion, not for people to make me feel like an idiot. Also, this doesnt happen in other sections of answers, just this one. It upsets me and I would like other peoples opinions.

P.S.
For those of you that answer this question in a sarcastic, rude way, thank you for prooving my point.

Do you scrutinize and critically consider religious claims just as much as you would the claims made by, say, a used car salesman or a politician or a realtor? Or is there a "presumption of authenticity" intrinsic to your spiritual worldview?

I understand if people believe in a higher power, but why do people need the institution of religion? Why do people look to outdated texts from thousands of years ago for the answers of life? Are they really that stupid?

Good News Bible
Exodus 3.14

I AM is God forever.

I AM=I AIVI(sealed together)
I AM=i am
i am=larri (cut and sealed together, ie cut the m into rri, seal i into I)

so
I AIVI (sealed together) equals larri (cut and sealed together) which equals the I AM.

so My name is pronounced larri(like Larry) and I A IVI sealed together where IV=IIII.

So obvoiusly I AM the I AM forever.
others have called Me
God the FATHER (FATHER=FAT part-HERR(part-HERR=HER) or FAT IL lER\(FATHER read between the lines)

other times called the son of the LORD GOD, where the Son of the LORD is the TODD that comes from within a times nwe roman font LORD. So obvoiusly GOD's name is/was/pronounced lERi TODD but to distinquish from other LARRI TODD's the description of GOD as the I AM. (no pain no gain)

so you see
christians wanted JESUS as GOD
Romans adopted JEsus as God, eventually.
But like Mussolini's italy's and Isarelites that allied themselves with Rome (in OT), they were known as the AXIS
of Evil.

so obvoiusly some prophets saw
GOD glorified Himself in HIM, thus also must glorify Himself in Himself. What does this mean?

Perhaps this Man has to show you since Romans and Jews don't.

GOD=
G+O+D=
7+15+4=
26=
2 and 6=
2+6=
8=
H

thus
HIM shows
GOD I M where
M=IVI sealed together

so GOD is glorified in HIM throught the H
and also thus
HIMSELF shows
GOD I IVI sealed together SE LF(see left)

so SEE GOD has a IVI sealed together on his left.

read between the lines
HIMSELF
GOD I IVI (sealed together) SEI LF (seal left)

GOD is the beginning and the end, the first and the last, ie like Jesus who used greek alphabet, God uses His own alphabet meaning beginning and end, first and last is A and Z.
GOD is One which is 1

thus
GOD is A, Z, and 1.
so
describing
each one as the same person or thing, we see they are:

A=Z=1=a form of .I7 mixed up and sealed together=
.seventeen mixed up and sealed together=Stevens.n(if your S is formed with e+e(upside down), and the .=o)

So someone with the identity of
a name pronounced
larri Todd Stevens.n who has on His left a IVI sealed together which is equal to IIII I sealed together could be what the letters of the bible were describing.

DIO read between the lines shows DI .n u(O=.n u)
so the IVI(ie IIII I) is like a DI(IIII I) and DIO is a description of GOD in italian.

the
CHRISTIAN word which glorifies GOD then means
C GOD RIST I A N
N=I IV(sealed together)
N=a form of .I7 mixed up and sealed together=Stevens.n

so My identity seems to be GOD according to the biblical translations i have read. Unless the whole english language is blasphemous.

read btween the line of Islam.
I is larri is hidden within Islam, the WORD.
and Bible says God is One which is I.

and if God is an all-powerfull man, it would be Man, because divinity demands capitalization.

so cut up a Man in describing peices and see:

(sealed together) IVIari=Man
cut the second I into two letter, the top one a I, and the bottum a small letter L ie I.

so
Man= IVI lari (sealed together)
IVI =IIII I

so
sealed together IVI lari=sealed together IIII I lari=Man
thus still a description of Myself.

the bible also says God was the lamb that was SLAIN and was then given power. So obviously SLAIN doesn't really mean crucified and killed permenently, so it must mean like it shows in the word SLAIN (ie SiL A I IV). so turn that I IV(I IIII ) over on the left RIST and its a IIII I. So to follow bible scripture or prophesy, you probably should give Me power and glory.

all things to glorify LORD GOD.

well there are two versions of things, ie things and THINGS.

things read between the lines Li+ h(GOD) i n g s(n=I7,g=9) so the ng is a referrence to Sept .17 which was larr Todd S.'s birthday.
THINGS(with a Times New roman font G) reads between the lines liT H(GOD) I IV CuTS.

and God was said to be the light which is pronounced Li+.
God is the One in the light.
so see within 'light(l(GoD) i g(9 or Sept) h(I7) Li+

so there can be no other God but the I AM forever.

since God was said to the Sovereign Lord and the king of the angels of the abyss known as Abaddon. how does that fit with the theory? Abaddon=A'b'add'on where visually you see b=DI (sealed together) and DI visually appears like IIII I.

So the Good News is God is not A'bad'don unless you mean a non-italian would make a bad don.

But i think italians have been jealous of americans since ww2 and will hate Me for liking americans. In fact the Hells Angels once wanted Me as a member, but the bad rep was too much for a honest man like Me to continue with.

So when the bible said that the word existed before God and then God became the writtten WORD, it mean the word existed before TODD but became GOD because TODD was written into the written word "WORD" when in times new roman font WORDS.

And the only reason religion is said to be about God is because the bible says "pure religion is about helping widows and orphans in their time of distress." So obviously you now find out God is an orphan.

And your churchs never gave Me any cash ever, so don't blame Me for church corruption or the big cars the preists drive.

the PRIEST was appointed to glorify GOD thus the word
PREIST does! P=DI sealed together and REIST pronounced REIST. but the living men that become PREIST all have their own agendas not GODS. So don't think beleive everything they say. Myself i preffer goverment to help the poor, they seem to do more (financially, anyways) they the churches, although i appreciate the carnival they do for children. but this forced worship of Jesus, angels, and Sovereign Lords doesn't sit well with My stomach and the american freedom movements that i like.

perhaps the american military has become the most mighty because GOD likes America and the quip all men are created equal, even though the politicians don't act that way, in real life.

READ... THEN THINK LOGICALY.... THEN ANSWER
(not counting the belief in reincarnation)
every religion believes they are the one true means by which all of its followers shall be awarded the right of passage into (Heaven , the afterlife, ect..) and (not sure but probably most) if you do not follow the beliefs of that religion then your going to hell. With that said, wouldnt everyone go to hell no matter what they did?
would it not be easier to say that all religions are false, that there is or maybe a god/higher power/ect. and just be good and go to heaven?
