Is it confusing that there are many different denominations that teach many different things from the exact same book? Is it confusing that there are so many different denominations? Do you think this was God’s design?
1. 1Corinthians14:33-AccordingtothisversewasitGod’sdesignthattherearesomanydifferent churches? No, God is not the author of confusion.
Who is the designer of all this confusion?
2. John 10:10-12 - The devil (wolf) scatters and divides the sheep because he wants to destroy.
Does Jesus care? Do you suppose Christ has a plan?
3. John 10:16 - God’s plan is to have one flock and one shepherd. He will gather them with His voice.
How do we hear Christ’s voice?
4. 2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is God breathed - the voice of God. We hear God’s voice by reading His Word.
Six Characteristics of the True Church
5. 1 Timothy 3:15 - Paul tells us that the church is the pillar and ground of what? Truth. If a church teaches what is not true, it cannot be the foundation of truth, the “one fold.” Ask the person some questions about what their church teaches: state of the dead, Sabbath, etc. #1: Foundation of truth
6. Revelation 12:1 - A “sign” = this is not a literal woman.
Who is the woman?
7. 2 Corinthians 11:2 (Ephesians 5:31-33) - The church. Paul compares the people of God to a chaste virgin. Paul is speaking to the believers in Corinth, he tells them that he has betrothed/ espoused/married the church and Jesus.
8. Revelation 12:2-6,13 - Who does the dragon attempt to kill as soon as he is born? The child who will rule the nations. Does he succeed? No. When he doesn’t succeed what does he do? Goes after the woman. Where does the woman go and for how long? Into the wilderness for 1260 days.
The dragon is threatened by the child because this child is to be the ruler of all nations.
9. Ezekiel 4:6 - Day/year principle
#2: Came up publicly sometime after 1798 because the true church was in the wilderness for 1260 years.
10. Revelation 12:17 - Has to be a denomination that teaches its members to keep all 10 commandments, and has the Testimony of Jesus.
#3: Keeps the commandments
11. Revelation 19:10 The Remnant Church will have a prophet in the midst. #4: Has a prophet
12. John 5:39 - The scriptures testify of Him. It has to be the Old Testament because John did not have the New Testament.
#5: Believes in the Old & New Testament
12. Revelation 14:6-7,9-10 - How does this connect to the remnant church? The remnant church in Revelation 12:17 keeps the commandments, Revelation 14:12 says that this group keeps the commandments. #6: Worldwide organization
#7: Present tense judgement (pre-advent) - begun before the second coming
#8: Warning against the Mark of the Beast. Knows what the mark is.
Appeal: John 10:16
