I do not attend church because of all the false teaching that spews forth from most pulpits.\n\nThe doctrines of men have replaced the pure and simple doctrines taught by Jesus Christ and the Apostles in most churches.  People in the pew believe and trust whatever comes from the pulpit, without studying scripture for themselves.\n\nWe are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, scripture says.  Therefore, I meet with a small group in my home.\n\nI would not recommend most churches to anyone.  It is sad that mainstream Christianity has become so paganized and steeped in the world's system.\n\n"Church" is not the answer anyway.  Jesus Christ is.

They adhere to keeping the true Sabbath Day, sundown Friday till sundown Saturday. I am researching them out, now. I do not disclaim any ones faith ,because to take away someones hope is very bad.

Yeah, I do, mostly Mesoamerican religion. I specifically practice the Nahua (Aztec) religion previous to Christian contact (*ahem* subjugation), though I have also studied the beliefs of the Maya and know a few things about the neighboring cultures as well. I know a handful of other people who are trying to reclaim the native Mesoaemerican religions for the modern day, without Christian influence. There are other groups, more widespread, that still practice aspects of the native religion but with heavy Christian influence (i.e. monotheistic, using saints, moving native festivals to Christian dates, etc).\n\nThe major features shared by most traditional native religions of Mesoamerica are extensive pantheons of deities (often representing natural phenomenon such as rain and celestial bodies), belief in giving back to the gods in order to honor them (sacrifice, though it was viewed much differently than the stereotypical western conception of what sacrifice was about), the belief in cyclical divinitory calendar systems as well as calendars of religious festivals, and belief in multiple levels of reality (the spirit world being entirely real).\n\nIf you want to know more, I'll list my website and a couple others in the sources if you want to check them out.

To say that both are wrong and totally contrary to what the bible teaches is total ignorance.  It shows that this person knows nothing about what she is saying in the least or she would know that the Seventh Day Adventist church is all about going directly by the bible and the bible only verses the other churches that go by the tradition of the Catholic Church.  All one has to do is to look at what the leaders in the churches have said about it or read how the law of God was changed by the Catholic Church and is followed by most of the other churches when there is no scriptural authority to do so.  \n\nTo answer your question, there are parallels such as modesty.  Both faiths believe in modesty in dress although some do not adhere to it as well as they need to.  Health, both believe in eating healthy and leaving out those things that will hurt you that God said not to eat as they are a health hazard.  On relationships, both believe in first a good relationship with God, then family.  God should always come first in anything we do.  Then spouse, with a full life together with no divorce, then children and then the rest of the family.  There are going to be some in any religious denomination that do not adhere to all the tenets of the church but all in all, there are many aspects that are similar in the Adventist and Islamic faiths.  To follow the truth in any church, you need go to scripture to see if it is according to God or man.  As in Isaiah 8:20, "to the law, (God's law) and to the testimony, (God's teachings) if they do not speak according to this Word, (the bible) there is NO LIGHT in them."  Let that be your test of what is truth.  If it is not according to the bible, don't believe it as it is lies.  There are many parallels in the two faiths you mentioned but there are some very distinct differences that you should note if you study both.  In Islam, they do not go by the bible alone but have a prophet that teaches things that are not in the bible.  As even the Catholic Church has in her writings, and I can show you in print from their publishers, "if you want to go by the scripture only, you need to be a Seventh Day Adventist."  Other churches take the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church and do not even realize where it comes from for the most part and those that do know, are not telling the congregations the truth.

LOL!  Hey Old Hippie,  I've never worshipped at a church that made that distinction, so I have no idea what that's about.\n\nSo I looked on the web to see how far it goes, and when I got to eighth, I was alarmed to find there is a thirty-eighth Baptist Church in Hattiesburg, MS!  (It's on 38th Avenue.)  \n\nSo the highest number was 7th. http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22seventh+baptist+church%22&y=Search+the+Web&ei=UTF-8&fr=my-vert-web-top&x=wrt

Tony\n I was LDS. I was married in the temple and held many a church position. One day I meet the real Jesus of the Bible and my life was change forever.. Were you ever in the church?   Jim

I had some very personal unexplained experiences that helped me.  I'm not religious though. I believe religion is politics and people. I love God and I believe in the virgin birth, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I was not raised with any sort of Christan up bringing.  I also do not currently attend church. I was hurt by people there. I still love God and Jesus, they did not hurt me.  I want a church that is a reflection of heaven...all races, gay and straight, bikers, rappers, prostitutes, homeless, rich and poor, skinny and fat and everything in between, no judgments everyone just doing their best to be more like Christ. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we will fail miserably but in this church it will be OK to fail. You'll admit it and do better next time and the people will love you and encourage you just the same.  If you know where this church is let me know, I've got to meet these people.

I believe in God, and I'm definitely Christian, but I can't identify any more than that. I would say that I'm nondenominational, but nowadays that's a denomination in and of itself (which doesn't make sense, so go figure). I do think my beliefs tend to be more Baptist, although I'm not active in any sense of the word. A believer without works would describe me well.

I moved this answer over here and edited it:\n\nWoodlands is mainly transplants such as yourself. The religious freaks are mainly in east Texas (Tyler, Longview, Nacogdoches, etc.) and rural areas.\n\nThe Houston area is dominated by Hispanics, most of whom are Catholic. Don't let the crucifixes fool you. Hispanics seem to like the pageantry and rituals but they aren't real big on bible thumping.\n\nThe religion thing shouldn't be a problem.

Ooh! I do! Contact me! err, my yahoo messenger doesn't work. You can email me, though.\n\nI'm very active in my church. I sing in the choir, go to church meetings (both youth and adult), I play the bass in the praise and worship team, and I've been a voting member in the annual conference. Grr, I'm afraid of posting my email here. I'd like to speak to you through MSN messenger.\n\nI also know the inner workings of the organization. I know people in there personally and my Grandfather was a bishop of the UMC.\n\nOh, if you'd like to find out more about our doctrine, check out the "Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church". It's updated every 4 years, so it's pretty accurate about what we believe (unless you're in the Pacific Northwest, where I am, *sigh*).\n\nOh, I also like how the church uses it's money. Check out UMCOR. I think it's http://www.umcor.org or something. It goes to other places, too, ofcourse. We believe in making a difference.\n\nOh, and unlike other churches, we tend to "Unite" with other denominations, not separate.

I am God's Elect; I was called out(2Tim.1:9) from the SDA to his church. To me, I believe with all my heart I was chosen by God.\n\nSome of my Story in:\nhttp://community.webshots.com/photo/126465277/1259465643051497771EQPXZl\nhttp://community.webshots.com/photo/370320470/1370327768049373547ckDxoa\nhttp://community.webshots.com/photo/370320470/1370328718049373547LfXmWo

I don't know about the non-denominational churches, but the church of the Nazarene is a very down to earth church.  There is one on Old Coal Mine Rd in Littleton.  My husband was pretty wild and had never attended church before.  I was raised Baptist.  My friend told me about the Nazarene Church and we went and both of us are now members.  They are very non confrontational, non offensive and totally non-judgmental.  It is worth a try for you.  I can't vouch for the one in Littleton, but we have been members of the one in Loveland and Colorado Springs, and also one in New York and Nevada.  They are all like that.  You will feel like you belong and are so welcomed no matter what your situation.  My husband does not like to claim a denomination, he just calls himself Christian, period.  Yet he will not attend anything but a Nazarene Church.  \nIf you try it, I hope you enjoy your time there!\nGod Bless!

I live in a small town in Kansas; right in the center of the USA.  Our population is under 30,000 people.\n\nWe have:\n\n2 Jewish synagogues\n1 Muslim Temple\n1 Pagan sanctuary\n6 Roman Catholic Churches\n4 Baptist churches\n5 (that I know of) Covens (Wiccan)\n5 Protestant churches\n1 Jahovah's Witness' meeting hall\n1 Irish Catholic church\n1 Seventh Day Adventist church\n3 Lutheran churches\n2 Jesus' Christ of Later Day Saints churches\n2 Non-denominational Christian churches\n2 Korean/Christian churches\n2 All Faith religious Centers (catering to any/all religions)\n2 Mormon Churches\n1 Bahai group\n2 New Age Metaphysical groups\n1 Church of Satan\n...  and easily 10 more churches/worhip places which, honestly, I don't know who attends.\n\nI've actually looked for a complete list of churches in Kansas, but can't find one.  There are literally thousands, of varieing faiths.  For all the variety of faiths practicing openly in Kansas, Kansas is, itself, accepted as being one of the more conservative states in our Union.\n\n  \nYou're getting the idea that we really do have a large mix of faiths/spirital practictioners in any area of the USA.  While any given religion might not actually be accepting of another; we do reasonably well at tolerating, if nothing more, people of other faiths.  And tentions/hostilities which do exist are generally demonstrated more covertly than overtly.\n\nSpecifically to Catholicism:  The Roman Catholic Churches in the USA are a bit at odds with The Vatican.  They don't adhere to Papal authority as much as The Vatican would like, and, with some frequency, are threatened with ex-communication.\n\nI hope that gives you some insight into how things work here.  Thanks.
