The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
- GENESIS 2:7-
There are two schools of thought on this matter, the first being biblical, the second worldly. Which is correct depends on who and where you are in your search for truth. Lets say for now that there is no correct answer but that the matter is an individual endeavor solely based on perception and the individuals experiences and formed beliefs alone.
Consider...
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of scripture came about by the prophets own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
-2PETER 1:20-21-
It could be said we are, what we believe to be true...
For instance if you believe that the creation of life as redacted in the Holy Bible is true, would that then make you a Christian?
I think not...
So what would make you a Christian?
- Is it a person that attends church every Sunday or almost every Sunday to make appearance, that he is a good christian and should be considered so by his peers and fellow attendees?
- Is it a person that sacrifices his time to the benefit of others and gives freely to those in need whether it be time, money or simply friendship?
- Or is it a person that follows closely the teachings of Jesus Christ?
If you answered the person that follows closely the teachings of Jesus Christ then congratulations you are a Christian whether you are a member of a church or not.
Quickly what's more important fellowship with man or fellowship with God?
What does the bible say about which one is more important?
I challenge you to take some time and find out by making it a study topic for your next bible study.
What you don't have anyone to study with, I guess you did not do well in school. Please don't try to rationalize this one away, get busy with your bible, the internet, a church library, a pastor, a friend, a mentor or just by yourself and then we'll meet back here and compare our findings.
Until then...
May...
The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
