My View of Life - Never Better!

In Search of Christ's True and Living Church

A few weeks ago the two frontrunners of the Republican Party in the race for President of the United States revealed their Christian Faiths. Donald Trump disclosed many times he was Presbyterian, while Ben Carson stated he was Seventh Day Adventist. Both churches Christian, but very different in doctrine.

As I listened to them, a deluge of questions flooded my mind. Since both can't be Christ's true church, as he said himself, One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (Ephesians 4:5) which one is the true one, or is either of them? Or, given the fact, that there are thousands of Christian faiths, which one of them is true? They can't all be true. A perfect Jesus Christ would not author such confusion.

I've studied the bible all my life as have countless others. How can anyone find and know the truth with the bible alone. Even the bible itself states, in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (2 Corinthians 13:1) Where is the other witness or witnesses to establish a firm foundation?

Could it be the"other sheep" that Jesus said he would visit in John 10:16? Where were they? Perhaps the land masses on this earth are separated by great oceans for a reason--Ancient America! I've visited some of the ancient temples and sanctuaries in Mexico. I saw numerous religious symbols, artifacts, figures, emblems, and even baptismal fonts. Could Jesus have been talking about them? Surely he loved them too.

And why did scripture cease after Christ's Apostles were killed? Was it the apostasy that is prophesied in so many areas of the bible? Such as: 2 Thessalonians 2:3 for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first. So, if Christ's church was taken from the earth, at least in the Eastern Hemisphere, and then, looks like it fell in Ancient America too, and the earth plummeted into the dark ages for centuries, is it not reasonable to think that he'd restore it to the world before his second coming?

In fact, there are many places in the bible that speak of this restitution prior to the Lord's second coming. Acts 3:19-21 restitution of all things. Isaiah 29:13,14, A marvelous work and a wonder, and others. And along with this restitution, or restoration, where is Elijah the prophet who must come or the earth will be smitten with a curse? Malachi 4:5,6.

There must be a restitution for the Bible speaks repeatedly that the Kingdom of God or Zion will be established in these last days preceding Christ's second coming. Daniel 2:44,45. Shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom will roll forth as a stone cut without hands. And, Micah 4:2, Many will go up to it.

No man knows the time of Christ's Triumphant Return, but we can see the words of the Prophets being fulfilled. Wars and rumors of wars, the ocean heaving beyond her bounds, earthquakes in diverse places, sin in abundance, some sins even legalized--Jude 1:7, and much much more. When the fig tree leaves, summer is nigh at hand. (If we see the leaves on the fig leafing, the end is soon at hand.) These signs are filling the world right now. Surely, the end is not too distant. It is interesting how the author of the book of Revelations, John, covered the first six seals in a little more than one chapter, but the part about our day took up almost all of the last 15 chapters.

If there was ever a time when the Church of Jesus Christ should be on the earth, it is now. Where is it? What would it look like? Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; It would be the pristine doctrine taught by Jesus himself. 1) Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, 2) Repentance, 3) Baptism by immersion--Matthew 3:16,17 and others. 4) The laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost: Acts 8:17, Acts 9:7, Acts 19:1-6, and others.Ã '

For sure it would be a mighty blessing for the people in these turbulent times--peace and comfort, knowledge, preparation, guidance, understanding, and so forth. In fine it would provide the key ingredient to endure these last days. It would pave the way for us all to COME UNTO CHRIST. For if we build our foundation in him WE CANNOT FALL.

I'll send this to Mr. Trump and Mr. Carson, and everyone else who will read it. Hope it provides the answers you may be seeking.
