@Bhuktaman@Bhuktaman “These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb” Revelation 14:4. _They_ follow, _they_ were purchased. Sounds like a group to me. A group that would be cooperating with Jesus and in agreement with one another. That leaves out mere individuals who worship God on their own. Proverbs 18:1
@Bhuktaman In the 21st century, somebody asked those same questions. Well we can’t simply say Christians anymore because a lot of groups claim to be Christian. So which group is the modern day equivalent of 1st century Christianity? Requires some homework, but we can safely say based on scriptural precedents that we should be looking for a group that is following God.
@Bhuktaman Somebody asked those questions in 50AD. Let’s see, we’ve got Greeks, Romans, a bunch of other groups, oh yeah and those Christians (Acts 11:26). “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” 1 Peter 2:9. Yup, you had to be with the Christians to receive God’s blessing.
@Bhuktaman Somebody asked those questions in 1500BC. Let’s see, we’ve got Egyptians, Hittites, a bunch of other groups, oh yeah and the Israelites. “Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites” Exodus 19:5, 6. Yup, you had to be with the Israelites to receive God’s blessing.

@ entrsnm3 Where can I find truth and eternal life? Where are you going to point them, to a person or to an organization?
Hmm...

@mongodongo148 The catholics spread the bible throughout the world centuries ago, bringing the gospel of Jesus with it.
