Where in the Bible does it say.....?

Question

There are only two churches, the church of God and the church of the devil?

And where does it talk about the great and abominable church?

I"m going crazy because I thought these verses were in the Bible and I can't find them.

Answer 1

Probably the closest thing would be Jesus talking about separating the sheep from the goats in Matthew 25. There's also the separation of those whose names are in the Book of Life in Revelation 20:11-15. People are either with Christ or separated from Him, for Him or against Him. There's no in-between.

Answer 2

Honey, they are not in the Bible, In the book of Revelation it has messages to the seven Churches. As far as the Church of God, Jesus does refer to coming to get his Bride, the Church, and he includes all of the Christian churches as one. Maybe that is where you got the idea of one church. The Anti-Christ will demand that everyone take a mark on their right hand or their forehead, and those that do not will not be able to buy or sell, so maybe that is where you got the idea about a great abominable church. Just a thought, I was trying to think about where you may have got such an idea.

Answer 3

1Co 10: 21
You can't sit at the Lord's Table and the demon's Table at the same time. I realize it doesn't say the word church but it does say that there are Two tables. Two sides. Only.
In Revelations it talks of Babylon the Great (since mostly all today's religions come from that place) and the great Harlot which are the same sybol for false religions. You see the Harlot riding a beast (symbolized nations) and actually Leading it (she has for so many years controlled governments and still does) and drunk on the wine of saints. She will be devoured though.

Answer 4

You won't find it as such. The woman in Revelations is a church, full of fornications, etc. Rev. Chapter 17.

Beginning with the woman in Genesis, through Revelation, a woman is a type of the church.

Eve, the fallen church, unfaithful to her husband; Ruth is the redeemed church; the Shunamite, in the Song of Solomon, is the bride of Christ. The virgin Mary; the anthesis of Eve, who conceived the unadulterated word of God; the woman at the well and many more.

The wife of Joseph, daughter of the Egyptian High Priest of On, is a revelation of the church in this day. I hope you begin to see this as you read scripture.

Answer 5

The believers are the church. Believers have nothing to do with religion or denominations. Believers are people who believe what the Bible says and they don't try to change it to fit what they believe. God did not set up denominations or religions, people who could not agree upon the word did that. Church is not a building with a denomination written on it...the church are the followers of Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

gosh hun, occasionally I wish I could memorize this stuff. If God wanted me too then I would retain it, so it must not be his wish. The bible talks about there only being one true church. Chirst talked about it as well. I would suggest Strongs Concordance if you haven't already tried it.

I know what you mean. When we were getting divorced, actually when we seperated, I read a phrase I cannot find. It was something about not knowing what you had until you lost "that which was most precious to you.....".....hell if I can find it now. I trust though that the Lord wanted me to know it then. He gave me the eyes to see and I saw it.

You need to not obsess over it, ask to see and hear that which he wants you to see and hear and you will. Nothing else is important....

Answer 7

The church of the devil is false religion. The abominable church, I never heard of it.

Answer 8

there isn't, no matter what you believe in their is only one true way to worship the deity of your choice and that is in your heart. all a church, temple, ect. is is a place were people with similar beliefs can come to worship together and discuss their beliefs without fear of ritacul or judgment. this is true for christains as well. they can worship their god in their own home without ever stepping foot in a church and if they believe in their hearts then they will be "saved". i beleive the creator does not care what religion you choose to believe in as long as you believe in something and stay true to your self and live the best you can. after all i don't think anyone has gotten it right thus far and that includes myself.

Answer 9

1 Corinthians 10:21
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.

Revelation 17:5 This title was written on her forehead:
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.

Answer 10

I don't think they are in there. The only thing that comes close to Satan having a church is in Revelations. In one of the letters to the church, It says I know where Satan's seat is. And it goes on to say, I will make them who are of the Synagogue of Satan confessed that I have loved you. That's my be what you are talking about. It's in Revelations.
