Okay, so you're new to Christianity and you're seeking a place of worship. You take a walk down the street and come to a crossroads. On the left, there's a huge white stone church, on the right, there's a lake, some ducks and a field of flowers, ahead of you, there's a beautiful temple, and directly behind you, there's a modern worship hall.
What church is right?

The one that obeys. and does nor include philosophy in its teachings. And relies entirely on the Bible.
(Matthew 28:19-20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20Â teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
(Matthew 6:9-10) “YOU must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10Â Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.

The best of the options given is the nature scene by far. People, particularly in the US, are so caught up in glamour and self exaltation that the building accually plays a big part in the choice of where to worship. A building with a sign on it means nothing. The biblical beliefs are far more important, and Jesus used nature to teach things, so that would be my choice.

All churches are filled with sinners who need help. Check out the one that offers you the most help in your situation, and the one that best suits your personality and your spiritual need. Speak to the leaders of the church and then decide where you want to worship. Find a place that not only teaches you, but also challenges you, motivates you and helps you to GROW.

Well, if you are Christian, you follow the Bible. The Bible tells us that God Himself, in the Person of Jesus Christ, founded ONE Church for all mankind, and that He desired that the Church remain ONE. The Bible tells us that the Church Christ founded is "the pillar and foundation of truth", without which the truth cannot stand. The Bible quotes God Himself saying that whatsoever His Church binds upon earth is bound in heaven; that the Holy Spirit will guide His Church to all truth; and that whoever listens to His Church listens to Him. Therefore, any Christian who really cares about the Word of God will recognize the tremendous importance of identifying that one Church founded by God Himself, vs. the thousands of manmade churches that exist, and the doctrinal chaos that exists among them. It isn't hard to do. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of Christian history and an honest desire for the truth cannot help but recognize the Church of the Apostles.

Catholic and most of the mainstream Christian churches, the only ones that believe in the possible salvation of ALL HUMANITY. Everyone else is defective because they paint human enemies that must be destroyed or dehumanized as evil. This shows that they are not fully from God. Only the devil tries to demonize and degrade a class of humans, as Muslims degrade and demonize non-Muslims, Hindus degrade their lower castes, etc as sub-human, Calvinists believe in predestination and hopelessness of some, etc. These are false and defective doctrines, encouraged by Satan to dehumanize human beings.

The right church is the one that is the original Church founded by Jesus Christ. It is the one that can trace Her history back 2,000 years, and has faithfully protected, taught, and governed the faithful. In your question, the correct Church would be the one with the name "Catholic" written on it.

The only church that is right is not a church at all. It's a book called the Bible. It's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Go there when you have time.Everyone is welcomed.

I got invited to a church and I liked it. My advice to you is to visit several churches and which ever one agrees with your spirit should be the one you attend. One thing to remember is there is no perfect church so if you're going out to look for one then it will take forever!

Church is not a building. It is the body of believers in Christ.
