I have been surfing the net looking at Christian websites and I am astonished at the amount of religious nonsense, sectarian bigotry, selfrighteous intellectualism, lukewamness and plain lack of Christ-centredness about.
Isn't there anyone one who can say, 'Today we raised the dead, cast out demons and preached the gospel so that thousands were saved'? Apparently not; and it grieves me deeply.

When I was a young Christian I surrendered my understanding to God and immediately began to know Christ as Teacher. I don't need anyone to teach me the truth but I long to hear someone say they have met people who are like Christ.
I have only met one person who I thought was something like Christ in his love, holiness and power. He was an evangelist who was willing to face the firing squad for preaching in Turkey. (He was converted when he heard Jesus call his name from Heaven.) In twenty five years only this one man...

I can't bring myself to say anymore.

God bless you

Nathan

Thank you Nathan

I have been wondering the same thing. I watch, listen, hear Christians almost attacking other Christians and others with their egotistical Christianity that is hardly Christian at all. Mostly all that people need is to be affirmed and loved, but we don't get it much. The day is coming though and the first shall be last and the last shall be first. And there will be some surprised people.

I received my first loans when I was 20 and this helped my family a lot. Nevertheless, I need the collateral loan again.

Greetings! Brother,

As you can see, you can't understand the truth and righteousness of God on your own.
II Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness.

accept God will give you understanding,
Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

And send you someone that will guide you.
John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority,
but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

Because if your beliefs are right, that you surrendered your understanding to God and immediately began to know Christ as Teacher. you don't need anyone to teach you the truth then
if the people just have to surrender there understanding to God and immediately began to know Christ as Teacher. they don't need anyone to teach them the truth, but why God send prophets and chosen apostles to teach?

in Acts chapter 8 verse 26 up to 35 it says:
8:26 But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.
8:27 And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
8:28 and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
8:29 And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
8:30 And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
8:31 And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.
8:32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:
8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.
8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?
8:35 And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

Did Lord sent Philip to a man of Ethiopia?
Did Philip teach the man?
Did the man said "I surrendered my understanding to God and immediately began to know Christ as Teacher. I don't need anyone to teach me the truth" when Philip teaching him?
Well... the answer is very obvious.
You can't proof your beliefs using the Bible...
