Man Can't Simply "Make" Worship

[Chuckt]

You do not even realize how full of yourself you are.
Did you ever think no one wants to "come alongside of me and help me" is because your are so narcissistic, no one can stand being with you?

Actually, no.

The type of Bible studies I have gone to is where someone is reading the notes in their study bible which is not wrong and parents buy their kids study bibles so they get something out of it but that is not the proper way to study the bible.

That is not the way to move onto spiritual maturity.

Another reason is that I behave from the manner I was taught in church some 40 years ago.
Decisions are to be made on teachings (doctrines) because God designed us for His pleasures so as long as you think doctrine is not more important or self is more important, you will not be fulfilled in life as God intends and what we do in this life may or may not matter in eternity.

You just don't get it, Chuck.

You just don't get it, Chuck.

Our spirit died so we are two dimensional beings instead of three dimensional beings.
Because our spirit died, we are out of harmony with God and therefore people don't know what we need to get back in harmony with God. Because our spirit died, we have to have our spirit be born again or we will never see the kingdom of God and unless your spirit comes to life, it will be difficult to accept or understand what we need.

Our spirit died .

Sorry to hear that. Mine's still healthy, thank goodness.

A lot of your sentences begin with "I" and that's why we have 33,000 denominations. Christ told us how to worship and the apostles taught others after him...most ignore his instructions at the last supper and even more ignore how the Christians in the 1st and 2nd centuries worshiped.

I don't agree with your "I" part against migtig - It all starts with the individual.

I do agree with your part about worship in the 1st and 2nd centuries, but how did the RCC get so far off base by not following that simple pattern of worship of the early church - gather on a regular basis, breaking bread on the sabbath, singing, prayer, preaching the Gospel? There is so much ritual, flash and dash, ceremonial procedure during catholic meetings that have absolutely no biblical background from the early church established in Acts.

Your church is as guilty of your original premise as any others you prosecute.
