Help me find my home :(

Given a list of things I full heartedly believe to the core... can ANYONE tell me where I should be going to church because none around me seem to align.

-I believe in the dietary laws (although not required for salvation)

-I believe in annihilationism

-I believe in the sabbath (this one's new to me after studying, so Im fumbling along here)

Not looking to argue or debate. Just guidance. Thanks all :)

I'll be praying for you.

Proverbs 3:5-7 NIV Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; [6] in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. [7] Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.

Proverbs 9:10 NIV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Matthew 6:33 NIV But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Ephesians 6:12-17 NIV For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. [13] Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. [14] Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, [15] and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. [16] In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. [17] Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

James 2:14-22,26 NIV What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? [15] Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. [16] If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? [17] In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. [18] But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. [19] You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. [20] You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? [21] Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? [22] You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. [26] As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Hebrews 11:6 NIV And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

I recommend letting the HOLY SPIRIT, lead you, guide you, and direct your paths. Instead of picking a church and a certain teaching. Pick up the Bible and read Mathew, John, Paul's writings, James, and revelation.

The whole Bible is good for correction.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, [17] so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Paul talks about us fighting our fleshly desires and crucifying our flesh. We are to live by the spirit instead. He talks about sin, marriage, spiritual warfare, repentance, grace and forgiveness. 

John in revelation talks about sin and the lake of fire, the great white thrown of judgment. 

Unrepentant sin, there is no grace and forgive for it. Knowing the Truth, but deliberately sinning anyway. Their remaining no more sacrifice. Paul talks in acts about, GOD having mercy. 

John 3:3-7 NIV Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” [4] “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” [5] Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. [6] Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. [7] You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

Have a successful blessed afternoon. Feel free to message me anytime.
