Do you believe in your own ability to form a relationship with God through the salvation of Jesus?

Question

And that should take priority over seeking a spiritual leader or church?

Answer 1

Sure a person can and should form a personal relationship with God thru Jesus. And definitely that should take priority over a spiritual leader or church. Leaders and church members are just people and you can learn from them, but don't put your trust in people, put it in God.

Answer 2

Not quite sure what you are saying but...



There are two senses of the word church

1. The universal sense - this is every Christian in the world

2. The local sense - this is a group of christians in a local area who come together.



The first is what is needed to be saved. You must be a part of the universal church. Jesus came to die on the earth. You must be in Christ to have a father-son relationship with God. To get into Christ one must believe, repent, and obey God's word (i.e. be baptized.)



So yes, you can have a relationship with God apart from the church down the street or some pastor or elder.

Answer 3

Yes, it should take priority over a spiritual leader or the church. However, i do believe in being involved in church or small groups. it really helps u grow in faith, among other benefits.

Answer 4

God made it possible to become saved by repenting and receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. Obeying his word is our first priority. His word tells us to love others and go to church. It tells us everything we need to know. Church's and people are not to be followed if they are teaching anything contrary to the bible.

Answer 5

As we know from abuse cases, being a church leader does not make you necessarily qualified to show people God.

Any medium that helps you get closer to God is good, but if you can avoid a medium altogether why not?

Answer 6

The Bible clearly speaks of Christians as being a part of the body. You will never find "personal relationship with Christ" in the Bible.



If you are a Christian you are a part of the body of Christ and you MUST be a part of a fellowship of believers.



Jesus died for the CHurch. The blessing of salvation, grace, and forgiveness is for all those who are a part of his church.

Answer 7

Of course people can form their own relationships. Some involve Jesus, some don't.

Answer 8

Your relation ship with God through Jesus is the most important thing in life.

Answer 9

really you can make a relatoinship all by your self but then again the hol spirt helps when finding a church make sure they dont judge you for you are or have been and that you like the paster

Answer 10

I see god every day with the rising of the sun, the chirps of birds and the ocassional quiet time reading a book.

Answer 13

Lord God says:



Point your nose into the Bible, and pray, and pray, and pray. For the Bible will reveal inter secrets that were never known before. For you are approaching the end times, and the same Bible that you have been reading for centuries with the same Words will reveal inter secrets of the end times. But you have to study it with the Eyes of God, with the Manner of God. You have to kill the theology of man, the religion of man, and study the Bible completely. And it will reveal to you the wonders of the Father Jehovah, the Son Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and of the Holy Spirit.



For the man of today has hopped and skipped all over the Bible, and this hopping and skipping has blinded them. For they can't see the true Word of God. THIS MUST STOP TODAY!! Read the Bible completely and in its entirety. From the beginning to end, and it will reveal to you secrets of the end times in ways and manners that you never knew. Stop listening to the leadership and read the Bible. Read the Word of God. For the leadership will lead you to the pit.



You have two eyes; you have two ears; you have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will open your eyes, and your ears to the truth, the REAL TRUTH of the Father, of the Son, of the Holy Spirit. Remember My Words, "The leadership will send you in the wrong direction." This is your Father, Jehovah, the I am, I am, I am, with the Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, with the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, the Provider. Open the Bible and do as I say today.



For you are running out of time. If you want to save yourself and your family clean your mind of what the established churches have said to you. Read your Bible. Read the Word of your God, with a clean, with and open, with a sincere mind, with the Heart of God. The Holy Spirit will guide you word by word, passage by passage, chapter to chapter, to the Presence of the Lord, to the Throne Room of God. Remember if you follow the leadership you will miss the Train to Heaven, you will miss the Ark. Remember Noah? Noah obeyed. Noah was saved. This is the Word of your Father Jehovah, with the Son and the Holy Spirit, giving you the advice of Heaven, on this date, on this time.



For the times ahead are the trials and tribulations of the Antichrist, and he will slaughter you and butcher you, and torture you, for you are not equipped. The Body of My Son has ignored My Sheep, My Lamps, for hundreds of years and it must stop today. READ THE BOOK, THE BOOKS OF THE GOSPEL. Read the Old Testaments. Read the Words of the old Prophets. Read the Word of Jehovah. For I haven't changed. I am the same today as I was yesterday.



Don't worry about the leadership for I am going to straighten them out. Mark My Words! I WILL STRAIGHTEN THEM OUT! Through the trials, through the tribulations. Remember the Words of Jehovah, "The same today as yesterday." With the Love of My Son, with the Love of the Holy Spirit I give you this message from Heaven.
