The Girl on Fire: Katniss Everdeen and the Christian Symbolism in The Hunger Games (ePub)

The Book of Revelation tells us there will be a war between those who have the mark of the beast on their foreheads or right hands and those who have the seal of God on their foreheads. It will be war between those who are in the True Church and those who are bound for Hell.

So, how do you find the True Church? Wikipedia tells us there are 40,000+ churches / unique denominations in the world. How is one supposed to find the True Church amid that lot?

1 Corinthians 11. 27-29 says one drinks damnation into one's soul if one celebrates Holy Communion in an unworthy manner. So, for instance, if a church gives Holy Communion to serial killers or serial rapists who claim they have repented, then you get to decide if that church is an evil false church which leads people to Hell or if it is God's True Church which leads people to Heaven.

Suppose the True Church tells Messers Biden, Blinken, Putin, Boris Johnson etc that they are on the road to perdition because of their actions in the Russia / Ukraine War, and suppose the True Church says they must take actions A, B, C, D...to get on the road to Heaven. Now if actions A, B, C, D etc etc seem bogus in your eyes, and if you declare the True Church is a false church, then you put yourself on the road to perdition.

The only way we can tell if a church is a false church or if it is the True Church is by studying the Bible and by trying to determine if it upholds the words of Christ and the apostles or if it tramples on them. Yes, but the New Testament doesn't give us any specific guidance on millions of issues and controversies. I mean, suppose a Peruvian judge sentenced an innocent man to 400 years in prison, and suppose anyone with any sense can see the Peruvian judge must be excommunicated, and suppose a church is a false church which leads people to perdition if it gives the bread and the wine to that evil judge. Yes, but if there are 7 billion people outside of Peru who know nothing about the Peruvian judge, then this might be a big problem for 7 billion people. Or suppose a Ukrainian officer commits atrocious war crimes, but then he says he's sorry and claims he is a good Christian who has repented. Then if a church gives him the bread and the wine you get to decide if that church is a false church which leads people to Hell or if it is God's True Church which leads people to Heaven.
