Its very interesting what Jesus said about hypocrites in the church. Quoting: Not of this World For quite some time, I have felt that most members of my church are not quite on par of having a relationship with God, even though they seem outwardly enthusiastic and preach a good word. I am only there to please God, not others. Dont get discouraged by other people, BECAUSE THAT HURTS YOU my friends. [link to www.new-testament-christian.com] Thanks for the thread OP!

And then they come into the church looking to make a change.. and find a bunch of aggressive and unfocused Christians. It cant be easy growing up in such a messed up society. The key is seeking a relationship with God, because everyone around you is paying attention to football games and college and jobs and not the BIG PICTURE!

However, due to the way we were treated (we didnt quite meet the Pator's or Congregation criteria, so therefore we were driven out) My husband now refuses to enter another church. This happened 10 years ago. However, he still has his faith. What does not destroy us, will make us stronger |

Ohwow! User ID: 1515240 United States 12/11/2011 04:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Many of the people I know that go to Church are the kindest, most giving and caring people that I have ever met. They come through with prayer and giviing for others. I would love to go to Church but I cannot due to the Churches (here) joining hands with the beast and taking gifts through their 501-c tax exempt status, thus making the beast the head of their Church and becoming government temples, that are not allowed to speak against any government policy, which the Bible condemns. Watered down Bibles have been distributed among them to agree with the government. These are no longer of God. Good people are there, but they will come out of her as it goes the way of the Beast -downward. |

I love the large multi classroom structures that are open one day of the week and wont give shelter to the homeless. I belive we should should partake of the Lords Supper, but I prefer to do it outdoors or in a Believers home during a bible study. The American Churches have sold thier soul and left their first love for a tax exempt status. They no longer can denounce evil, because they have partaken of the evil. |
