Is there a church good for our people? Out of curiosity whats up with scientology? The media wants us to hate them... So what's up with that?
nigger please
The temple is within you, and you create the relationship with God through the spirit.
God finally graced me last year with his presence. I've since tested many different churches. Almost all of them are corrupt because they are all led by someone who went to a school to learn to be a preacher. It's the same corruption in any other school or organization. They may have been initially led by the spirit, but they let it become watered down by following the traditions of men. Almost all Christian people celebrate Easter and Christmas, when both are insanely pagan and have zero to do with the faith. Someone a long time ago decided to pretend it did and twisted ideas to make it fit. I can give you more info on that if you're interested, but know that at the beginning of our country, both of those holidays were not allowed to be celebrated.
Communion with God is so peaceful, unless he's reprimanding you, then you feel sorrowful and then grateful for the forgiveness. I was never told that the relationship with God was an actual, true, two way communication on a regular basis. I would suppose the reason most don't have it is because they didn't know either, and also, it just sounds plain crazy when most people don't think the devil exists and God is a thing that most also do not think exist. They say that you have faith without proof, but that is a lie. Maybe some are saying they believe without proof, but I think they lie to themselves. God speaks to you, guides you, helps you, protects you, and you can feel his presence (unless you water down the spirit with things that push him away).
You can try a church but it will only be for community, and most of them aren't real believers. They're once a week, sometimes three times a week plus special occasion attendees.
Watchman Nee is an excellent source of true spiritual food if you're interested. Almost all of his writing is on line for free as he has passed away quite some time ago.
Wish you well on a sincere journey of faith. It's the greatest gift you'll ever receive, and I'm not talking about the after life. It's the only true peace in this life.

Uh, hell no. I was - and you appear to still be - dead in sin(s). God made US alive with him. We love because he first loved us.
He did everything by dying on the cross. You did jack shit.

None of it is possible without his grace. The relationship is created through your humility and submission to his will. I should have worded that better earlier. But the relationship only continues through the submission and desire to seek his will, so that is what I mean by creating the relationship. I should have said, deepen the relationship, or build the relationship. He is and has always been there, but without the right constitution there is a blockage to communion.
