which church [denomination] is the best and why?

Answer 1

The best church is the one that teaches and believes the word of God. Not the ones that pick and choose the word. I go to a baptist church but there are other good ones.

Answer 2

Wicca, oh, I guess you mean Christian.

If you mean Christian then it has to be the churches of Christ aka the Restoration Movement. Called so because they are the first to try and restore New Testament Christianity in the 19th and 20th century.

They are merely Christians only, Their only creed is the bible, their only religious authority is the bible.

They were the first to see the significance of the bible and were the first to speak only where the bible speaks and to stay silent where the bible is silent thus why they do not use pianos and guitars in worship.

They are the only ones to take the bible serious enough to actually do what it says.

In all the denominations I attended they are not a denomination and they showed me love and compassion where no other did. They are not a denomination because they have not creed like the apostles creed, and no doctrine except the bible. They are the only ones who read the bible as saying what it means and meanning what it says.

Answer 3

Denomination... NONE

The denominational system flies in the face of TRUE New Testament Christianity. Jesus did not come to build a bunch of denominations, but HIS CHURCH.

Catholicism abandoned the truth very early in its history so don't look for a true image of the New Testament church there. SOME "non-denominational" churches are around which hold scripture as the sole source for authority and doctrine and have no earth-based organization beyond the local congregation level. Authority outside scripture and world, national, or regional church governments were all human additions which are not found in the scriptures.

Answer 4

No, what someone has said above, whichever works best for you is the best denomination, is wrong. That would mean that you would choose a church based on what makes you happy, so you are satisfying yourself and worshipping God, necessarily.

A good denomination/church is that which fulfills following things.
1) Views Bible as the ultimate authority and revelation of God.
That means that they can't say they have special "prophets" at their church who get messages from God.

2) a church that makes its goal glorifying God and teaching what Bible says and not doing things that get it most visitors or most money. the Church exists first of all for God.

3) A church that does has people who at least appear genuine in their beliefs and not just "goers" who are one person at church, and a different person at home.

Answer 5

The many denominations should not exist.

Notice what 1 Corinthians 1:10 says;"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."

Jesus prayed for such unity in John 17:20-21.

Why do we have so many divisions? Men are not satisfied to all speak the same thing. Men are not satisfied to teach only the word of God. Men are not satisfied to only speak where the Bible speaks, and be silent where the Bible is silent. Men are not content to do Bible things in Bible ways and call Bible things by Bible names. Too many wish to add their own desires and teach their own doctrine.

Notice 2 Timothy 4:2-4.
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

We should return to the Bible as our authority and only guide book. We should have a "thus saith the Lord" for everything we teach and do as a church.

The Bible teaches that the church is the body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23) and that there is only "one body" (Eph 4:4).When the church first began, there were no denominations.

In Acts 2, we see that about 3000 all heard the same message, all understood it the same way, all believed it the same way and all obeyed it the same way. The result was they became Christians - nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. At this point, God added them to His church (Acts 2:47).

There is no authorization for Christians to "join the church of your choice", but they were added to the church Christ built and purchased! (Matt. 16:18, Acts 20:27)

After they became Christians they continued in one accord in fellowship and together in the apostles doctrine. (Acts 2:42-47) They had the type of unity Christians should have.

Today, if we read and understand what they understood, believe what they believed, and do only what they did, without adding any man-made doctrine, we will become only what they became - Christians!

This is the goal and plea of those who meet together under the name "church of Christ" today. We only want to be the church you can read about in the Bible.

Christ is the head of the church, therefore we have no "headquarters" on Earth that oversees the local congregation, but each congregation goes directly to the Bible to see what should be taught and practiced.

A denomination is larger than the local congregation, but smaller than the universal church. Since the church of Christ congregations are autonomous, only governed by local congregations, with no regional, national, or world-wide "headquatrers", they are not a denomination. There is no man-made organization in between the local congregation (which is not a denomination) and the church as a whole (which is not a denomination).

We only want to follow God's word in our name (Rom. 16:16), method of worship, organization, and teaching (doctrine). The word of God is sufficient for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction. Using it in this way, we can be completely furnished with everything we need, and there is no need to add any man-made doctrine. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

Those who teach as doctrine the commandments of men have form of worship that is vain. (Matt 15:9)

I invite you to examine the Church of Christ by a comparison with the scriptures! If the things we teach are scriptural, found in the Scriptures, then accept them. If the things we teach contradict the Bible, then reject them!

Any church that claims to follow the Bible should not object to such a comparison to scriptures. In fact, they should encourage it!

Christians confessed that they are Corrupting and Interpolating Bible

Concept of trinity Trinity is taken from 1 John, chapter 5 verse no 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one."
In Bible (R.S.V.) revised by 32 Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by 50 different co-operating denominations, this verse which is the keystone of the Christian faith has been removed as an INTERPOLATION, as a fabrication and as a concoction. It has not been expunged from the Bible by the Muslims or non-Christians, but by 32 Christian scholars as a concoction fabrication because this verse does not exist in the original manuscript. We Muslims must congratulate the galaxy of D.D.’s (Doctors of Divinity) who have been honest enough to eliminate another lie from the English R.S.V. Bible, thus bringing it closer to the teachings of Islam and the Glorious Qur’an.

There are more than 3,500 versions of bible in this world.

Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
First Roman Catholic Bible was published at Rheims in 1582. Second one published at Douay in 1609. These called RCV version of Bible. The Protestants regarded 7 books as ‘apocrypha’ (doubtful authority) and removed them from Bible. (The Book of Judith, The Book of Tobias, The Book of Baruch, The Buck of Esther, etc.) Jesus pbuh said in the book of Revelation Chapter 22 Verse 18-19 ". . . If any man shall add to these things (or delete) God shall add unto him the plagues written in this Book." On deleting 7 books from bible, the Catholics call ‘cult of Christianity’ to the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
