Good work Perry
The written word is a testimony of what Messiah did throughout the ages so we can have confidence that the work going on inside of those that seek him will be manifest as the darkness grows. That is the evidence of Christ alive in all who invite him into their life. The fact that many who once beleived in him at one time or other through a church does not change it just because they decided to leave that dogma. Christ in us is not the work of a church that can be seen. Many changed from believing becasue they did not know him at all, yes they read about him in the book that testifies of him, but the churches did not show you that he dwells within those that believe. At one time many on here would have been defending Christ now they reject him because of being deceived by a church.No one forced anyone to follow that church, but once having the truth of that church revelaed , they should have left the church and into Christ. SOme have done so and found the truth in Christ alone already within them. No need of anything else. The churchis to blame for this. Is Christ still within you those who once believed, i think so, his love and mercy endures forever and waits patiently for those who have been scattered to return to him and him alone
