The bible gives us 7 clues to what denomation it is.

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman (church), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

1. It will appear and do its visible work after it emerges from the wilderness in 1798 (Revelation 12:6, 13-17).

2. It will teach the same truths the apostles taught, and all of its teachings will agree with the Bible (Revelation 12:17).

3. It will keep the Ten Commandments, including the Bible Sabbath (Revelation 12:17).

4. It will have the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 12:17; 19:10).

5. It will proclaim God's three end-time messages with a loud voice (Revelation 14:6-14).

6. It will be a worldwide movement (Revelation 14:6).

7. It will teach the everlasting gospel, which is salvation through Jesus Christ alone (Revelation 14:6).

What Christian denomination church has all these quality?

that those who do live for Christ, washed clean by the blood of the lamb--who have repented and confessed their sins to God, are saved and those who also prayed the prayer but did not bear fruit, they were never saved to begin with?
God promises us His Holy Spirit when we are saved.....so if we do fall into sin, we are convicted, we desire to please God!
See Ephesians 1 and 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Also see the parable of the sower in Luke---it speaks of false conversion.

I am trying to understand the concept of atheism put forth by contributors. I know you believe there is no God; does that mean the atheists here believe in no Higher Power or do you think there might be something greater than yourself. If you are an ex-Christian, what pushed you away? I am asking because I would like to know more about the choice you have made.

Will you pray with me for the non-Christians on here? I'm not trying to be judgmental in any way, but I want others to share in the joy and peace that we have through Christ.

Do they sometimes pester them relentlessly, as they have been known to do to some people of Christian background, OR do they regard them as lost causes?

Simply put, if a valid argument for God would be that life on earth needs a purpose, what is the purpose of the rest of the universe?... Did an omniscient being decide to create a billion trillion trillion trillion trillion stars like our own just to look pretty?... If we're really so important to be created in the image of a supreme being, why make a universe compared to which we're incredibly insignificant?

Was the gospel of Jesus Christ? And that it is the most important thing you will ever hear, because there is nothing more important than your eternal salvation in Him.....and the time is now, while here on earth, to acknowledge you are a sinner ( even I am!) and to confess to Him and put your trust in Him. You get one chance. And what Christ did on the cross, Nobody could of done! He shed His blood, so we who believe may live! (See John 3:16-17) Praise God!

Do you know you are going to live with Christ in HIS Kingdom after this life, when you have been born again, by His spirit? Saved by His wonderful grace?
And do you know that it is ONLY by His grace you are saved, and that there is nothing you can do to earn your way to heaven? (Ephesians 2:8-9)

If we are dividing religions further into sects / denominations, are we strengthening it or weakening it?

Take Christianity for example:
There are, within its branch => Roman Catholics, Protestants, Jehovah's Witness, Church of God, Evangelists, Born Agains, etc.

Take the Islam religion:
It has been divided into Sunnis, Shiites, etc.

And, not but not least, Judaism:
There are the Conservatives, and the Reforms...

christians,...... if all the worlds policemen/women were to trust god, faith, and hope like you do,...... they'd all be dead within a week.
Policemen/womens lives depend on simple logic and common sense.

Which is more important:

Faith and hope. (a.)..... or.... simple common sense.(b.)

Calling Mary by the title, The Blessed Virgin Mary, matches the way she is described in the Holy Bible.

There are many virgins in the world, but there is only one Blessed Virgin Mary.

From Wikipedia: "Around 1986, Bush and friends have stated that he became a teetotaler, began studying Christian philosophy, and started participating in church and community study groups. According to Bush, following a personal meeting and exchange with Reverend Billy Graham, he became a born-again Christian."

Amen!

(as "ma" is universal for mother, despite God's best efforts to confuse it) which would be unsuitable for engineering purposes (yo Hamiekiel go begot the turnip for the cubit thingy) so that he would not have need to have so many Bible translations which btw are inerrantly errant.

Why do Evolutionists claim they don't worship Darwin, then come to a Religion and Spirituality forum to preach the Gospel of Evolutionism According to Darwin?

I'm not talking about describing its properties and how it's made;I'm talking about purpose&reason.We can describe an anthill all day everyday,&how its made of clumped dirt.But if the ants arent present or the anthill apears to be abandoned;then it doesnt make sense for it to be there if it had no purpose.
In the same way,can skeptics honestly say they know why the universe is here if they dont know the purpose&/or the creator?Cuase if there's no creator then there's no good reason&no bad reason for the universe to be here;it shouldnt even exist.Can you really separate the creation from it's creator&truthfully say what the purpose is?And wouldnt it be delusional&denial to say creation(anthill,universe ect) has no purpose when all things made/created have a reason for their creation?
Again, we can describe properties&how things are made all day,but what's the purpose of making something if it has no purpsose for being made?
