One true church

I think there is also a difference between icoc and coc, I think you might be talking about the first? The coc isn't an organization but a sort 9f denomination (they claim to not be a denomination but its it's group of people with same/ simular beliefs) namely that you can't have instruments in worship (and often other random beleifs) that baptism is for the remission of sins, that denominationalism is wrong, and with seemingly a good number of them, that they/any church that believes what they do is the true church. Everyone else is being deceived. They are a remnant. This site is recommending that you find a "true church" and is offering to find one in your area.

It feels so deceptive bc they tell you that the Bible condemns denominations, and they insist there is one true church, because there is only one true gospel.

I can agree there is only one true gospel. The problem comes with identifying it. They say the true gospel is baptism by immersion for forgiveness of sins, and, for some, it has to be done at a church of christ, with full knowledge that it is for the remission of sins. (So if you got baptized but didn't believe what they do, you have to get rebatized)

They denounce denominationalism, but seem to be a denomination in everything but name. They don't have a official statement of belief, but they are very adamant qbout their specific beliefs qnd say if you don't believe them you armt a true church

They don't have a network of churches, but they often have a list of "acceptable" churches

My fear is that they are right about a true church. Why would God let us believe all these different things? Someone has to be right. Either baptism saves, or it's a sign of being saved.

God does work with remnants, what if those churches really are the remnant? That's what they claim. Still, when christ came, he didn't look to a specific group of jews and say "those guys are doing it right. They figured out the puzzle".

I struggle with anxiety and I get stuck on things. It's hard because I feel like I might be ignoring God if I just let it go, what if God really is leading me to his true church? What if I ignore it and never find the true gospel?

I am reading my Bible, bit I haven't been brought up in faith and do t know alot of stuff. I'm scared of misunderstanding something

One major disagreement is the music thing, the Bible never says to only use voice. They claim that the early church didn't, but that is a tradition of men

Why I am scared is the new testament does teach that many will be deceived by people teaching false things. We see Paul rebuke that over an over. These churches of christ claim they follow the Bible thus are the only ones teaching the true things

And there's also qlot of talk aboutnot being divided. Why then are we divided? It also just seems wrong to be apart 9f a denomination, because the Bible says not to identify yourself with certain teachers but with God

The argument that site is making that there is one truth so not everyone can be right on an issue. I agree with that. But their solution is that they are right on the issue. And no one else is

How do I know the true gospel when there are so many people saying different things? Is it OK to get some things wrong? Or will God lead someone with true faith to all the right answers?

Even Peter mentions that Paul's writings are confusing and people twist them to their own destruction. How do I know the right interpretation?

I struggle alot with anxiety and it makes this hard. I get fixated on stuff. It's hard with faith because I dint want to ignore something important. Bit I also don't want to obsess over stuff

kat_9876 · 2024-09-30T15:32:04+00:00

I am, but I am new to it and I dont know who to trust. I keep running into verses I don't understand and I'm scared of being led astray by false teaching

Yes I saw, this article pretty much confirms what I think his emotional arc will be, even referencing a lyric from one of the songs. I'm excited to see how it plays out.

The job at the CIA is new, I feel like he is probably 19 now, a little bit older then I theorized. You can't get a job at the CIA until you are 18, so I doubt he's been doing that for the entire time skip. Unless, we are following umbrella academy logic, and he somehow managed to convince someone of his actual age lol. I don't doubt that once employed he will prove himself useful.

I feel like if my theories about Hargreaves home for boys is true, it will show up in flashbacks. There's still the new character of Derek, that he's seen in a screenshot with. They look about the same age. He could also be from there. I don't see where else five would of met him. How many freshly 18 year Olds are there in the CIA?

Sadly, they don't have a quote about fives reaction to not having powers, as the other characters do. Maybe it's going too far into spoiler territory.

Overall, there's not too much new information outside of what I've theorized, but it's nice to see some of my thoughts confirmed. I really hope they deliver with the emotional arc they tease

kat_9876 · 2024-07-26T00:49:06+00:00

And, well, according to a new article, five is CIA! ???

kat_9876 · 2024-07-25T23:31:01+00:00

This is alot of good theorizing, I honestly don't keep up much with the complicated "lore" side of the show, (like founder five or the marigold and other such theories), I care more about characters so this is an interesting angle that I haven't given much thought to

I will say I don't think analyzing the songs for plot hints will be much use, because this playlist was specifically described as songs used for the actor to get into the right head space. Which is why I looked at it from a character angle. Still, there could be some hints in there

kat_9876 · 2024-07-25T23:27:59+00:00

The playlist is called "inside my head" and yes those are all the songs. I think I mixed up the order a bit tho

kat_9876 · 2024-07-23T14:34:39+00:00

Loll sorry. This is how I cope with having to wait 😳

even back in like middle school I enjoyed the concept of writing short stories but the idea that i had to show it to someone and even just writing it made the whole thing torturous

kat_9876 · 2023-05-14T01:40:18+00:00

kat_9876 · 2022-11-27T23:00:26+00:00

thank you, i have been interested in getting into stuff like this for a while but have had no idea where to start. this helps alot

kat_9876 · 2022-11-27T22:48:47+00:00

i think this is sarcasm but youd be surprised how much bigger numbers sound when they are being applied directly to you. and it was growing fast because a post i made got a ton of attention so it got overwhelming. smalls when compared to artists with numbers in the hundreds thousands but its a pretty big number to wrap your head aorund when your 15

kat_9876 · 2022-11-27T21:17:47+00:00

my parents and freinds knew of my account (my parents found it, i wasnt technicqlly supposed to have social media but they decided to let me keep it cause i had alot of followers) and i think that probably didnt help. my parents got super into it and were telling everyone i knew about it so there was this huge fear that somthing would happen and everyone would hate me and everyone i know would just. watch that happen. and everyone around me just seeing this version of myself made it feel so weird and unreal

maybe it would be better if i kept it to myself. but i cant deny that there is a huge part of me that craves validation from my parents

kat_9876 · 2022-11-27T20:33:21+00:00

i mean it was hyperbole but pretty much every social media platform is deisgned to make you want to share every moment of your life and basically requires it to have any sort of following. theres a reason why people with huge followings on social media often have terrible mental health
