A churchoid is a person going to church and taught the OPPSITE of Christ.
I tried really hard to find the word OPPSITE but couldnât find it on Google. I thought maybe you meant âopportunity siteâ but that didnât pan out. Iâve never been taught about OPPSITE so a little confused.
The first OPPOSITE Iâm verobtten to speak about!
So letâs go on the next!
The âimmortal soulâ!
Did the Gods put on in Adam?
What is verobtten? So now we have oppsite and verobtten. Iâm really confused now.

It is unnecessary to resort to insults when engaging with those whose viewpoints differ from your own. This is especially pertinent given your admission of utilizing the New World Translation, which is widely considered an inaccurate and modified text. I encourage you to refrain from personal attacks; if you wish to participate in this forum constructively, please maintain a respectful and civil tone in your future communications.

Well, Fish?
And churchoid ISNâT an insult, itâs my way of saying someone who believes in a church!
Câmon! Quit avoiding answering questions!
Looks like I have to tell you what the Bible says- youâre too dishonest!
Gen 2:7- And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.emphasized text -ASV
Did the Gods tell Adam what would happen if he ate of that one tree?
Yes, God warned Adam that disobedience would lead to death (Gen. 2:17). I also think Genesis 2:7 is fascinating because it says man became a living being. Christians have debated the implications of that verse for centuries, which makes it an interesting topic to study.

It REALLY says that man became a living SOUL.
Is Adam in Heaven now? Or âhellfireâ?
All Christians should believe in the Church, because the Church is what Christ created by His own crucified flesh and shed blood, which is why He Himself said He establishes His Church and not even the gates of Hades can prevail against it.
Thatâs just biblical Christianity. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ.

No one could tell you for sure, any more than anyone could tell you if Dot Smith is in heaven or hell. Only God can see the heart, and it is only Godâs decision on who is either. A couple we know for sure, Abraham, Moses, and Elijah, Isaac, and Jacob, and Enoch. Why? The Bible tells us, and or shows us, this is the fact. Is my Grandma there? I have no idea. I would like to think so, but I do not know.

Yup. The bride of Christ. I would say it seems pretty important. After all, He is coming back to take His Bride.

Iâm (almost) positive that Adam is in heaven with Jesus. Ok he died spiritually when they ate the fruit, but Adamâs body last another 900+ years, and Thatâs a lot of time to beg the creator for forgiveness and learn to walk in His waysâŚ
Isnât there a scripture that says Father of what you have given me, I have lost noneâŚ?? I think it does say that. So Adam is there. (I bet you one heavenly dollar, pay me when we get there, lol)
But I canât prove it. But the very first man? Oh yes, save that one!
Oh, me too. I think it would be extremely sad if he werenât. My point was we cannot say with 100 percent accuracy that anyone is in heaven except those we are told about in the Word,

What? Your question makes no sense at all. âDid the Gods put on in Adam?â What does that mean? How can I answer something that is gibberish?

@TheQuestion, do you mean to say âDid God put one (soul) in Adam,â when you said, âDid the Gods put on in Adam?â? If so, your spell-check has let you down by failing to change âonâ to âoneâ and "Gods (plural) to singular âGod,â since the God of the Bible is one God, though he is also three Persons.
If a person reads the Bible and tries to obey Godâs and Jesusâs teachings, why does he need to learn from a preacher?
I would like to answer this with a three-fold answer.
1- Sadly, most do not read the Bible. God set it up for all to âhearâ the Word.
âHow then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, âHow beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!â But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, âLord, who has believed what he has heard from us?â So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.â Romans 10:14-17
Not everyone who does read the Word understands some of it. It is good to learn from an elder. While the Holy Spirit guides individual believers, the Holy Spirit also specifically gifts certain people to be teachers and shepherds for the building up of the whole body.
âAnd he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds[a] and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,â Ephesians 4:11-12
2 - It is not good to be alone.
"Then the LORD God said, âIt is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.â Genesis 2:18
âTherefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.â Hebrews 10:19-25
3 - Family.
We are not all Godâs children. We are all Godâs creation. However, there is only one way to become a child of God. That is Jesus. That is the Spirit of Adoption. The Holy Spirit. If you are not adopted into the family of God, you are not His child.
However, if you are, then and only then are you His child. Once you are adopted into the family, you then receive many more brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers. You are adopted into a very large family. The family of God. Look what Jesus says here.
âPeter began to say to him, âSee, we have left everything and followed you.â Jesus said, âTruly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.â Mark 10:28-31
We are a family. Letâs look at a family. You sleep with, wake with, talk with, and spend time with your family. You share your dayâs events and seek to help those in need of comfort, encouragement, or celebration together. Is Godâs family one hour a week, maybe, if you feel like going to Church?
Think about this. If you have a need or a challenge in your life, you can always turn to your family. Your mom or dad can help you. Your older siblings may have already been through what you are facing. They can help you. When you are sad, they try to comfort you. When they are sad, you comfort them. If you are the oldest, you may be the one that others look up to. Again, Godâs family? One hour a week, maybe, if you feel like going to church?
Just like your earthly family, in Godâs family, you have babiesâthose who have just heard the truth and allowed it to set them free. They know very little and need to be fed and taught. You also have teenagersâthose who are more knowledgeable but are not yet ready to go out on their own. They can certainly help raise the younger ones. Then there are the moms and dadsâthose who have grown up, put away childish things, and are positioned to teach, encourage, love, and guide both the children and teenagers. These are the church elders. Of course, there is the earthly father, the head of the church: the Pastor. He should be guiding the rest of the family and is responsible for communicating whatever God himself tells him.
Look at what Jesus instructed John and Mary while on the cross.
âBut standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his motherâs sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, âWoman, behold, your son!â Then he said to the disciple, âBehold, your mother!â And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.â John 19:25-27
John and Mary had no prior relationship before meeting Him. John was a fisherman, while Mary was a teenage mother married to a carpenter. Many people wonder what happened to Joseph, Jesusâs âearthly father,â whom he never regarded as such. The last mention of Joseph in the Bible occurs when Jesus is 12 years old. The consensus is that Joseph likely died sometime between Jesusâs childhood and the beginning of his ministry at age 30. This theory is supported by the fact that Jesus appointed John to take care of his mother, Mary, which would have been Josephâs responsibility as well, especially after Jesusâs crucifixion. However, he died, and Mary required being cared for. He saw this as a responsibility of His church. His people. His family.
Can you go it alone? You can, but I would not recommend it. You lose out on so very much.
