@sonship saidI suspect that Christ is already present.

It is 2021 AD going on 2022 AD. Maybe the Lord Jesus will come back within a decade.
I'm not suggesting that reports of him living in the east end of London are true (it has been reported I kid you not), but when you look at world events something pretty serious is going on.

One request - can we cut the size of the postings down please, Divegeester does have a point?
These are deep issues. And not everything fits on a bumper sticker or can be jingled off in 25 words or less.
There are sixty six books in the Word of God -Genesis to Revelation.
IF God wanted to make His book only like the one chapter like the book of Philemon, He would have done so.
I think people who are truly hungry for the truth don't mind reading a post a bit longer than a short paragraph. I was. I just am foolish enough to think there are others out there.

Cults like the Jehovah’s Witneses, The Recovery movement, Mormons etc are all hardcore Babylon.
So then what do you have to lose then to answer my question?
YES, a genuine local church could exist today?
NO, since the days of the book of Acts anything called a church is by definition a division, a denomination?

@sonship saidYour church is either part of Babylon, or … you believe it isn’t because you’re brainwashed into believing it’s the true church.

It’s a checkmate question sonship.

@divegeester saidA guy that I've met from an Evangelical Church in America defined cult as "a group that don't accept Jesus as God incarnate". So they wouldn't/couldn't be Trinitarians (he was).
Sure.
Cults like the Jehovah’s Witneses, The Recovery movement, Mormons etc are all hardcore Babylon.
Is this your definition of a cult?
I don't know anything about The Recovery Movement, but he other two are not Trinitarians.

@sonship saidYou really are not a well informed man on this matter. The Septuagint which was the Scripture of the Apostles contained about 14 books more than what is now the Old Testament. So someone changed the bible. You think God did that?

@medullah saidIf one believes in Jehovah being the one who inspired it's writing then he designed it in the format he wanted and the other two writings were not included because they were not inspired by him. Here is a link to check out on that....
@sonship
So picking that point up, who decided that there was only going to be 66 books in the bible? Was that not in Catholic hands? Why were books like The Book of Enoch, or the Book of Thomas shed?
