I stopped going to church about a year ago. I mean really stopped. I was raised in the church, but I have seen each church that I've attended, split. And one reason was because they had a new pastor and some members wanted music in the church and others didn't
The next church the pastor was told to step down because he lying on his taxes and taking the church money for personal purposes.
The church that I was last at the members in the church thought that preacher was being too demanding and too aggressive in his preachings.
My mom and I got into an argument cause she started naming all the members that left the church to follow the preacher some where else.
And I said, "They can do that."
She said, "But they are following a man. You aren't supposed to follow a man."
Who is to say that these people are following this preacher because he is a man, I say it's because they like how he preaches and yet they still believe in the word.
I mean come on!
And I'm so sick of how some "Christians" act. I'm no holy person or self-righteous person by any means. But don't front about my issues and act as if they don't exist. And these Christians can't even get their church issues situated. Splitting up the church up like a divorce...
I respect the Bible...But other Christians...barely...
There's too many denominations, there's too many different views and interpretations of the Bible which has caused the division between thousands of other "Christian" churches.
I mean really? Is this what God's purpose is?
I have not turned my back on God...I have turned my back on the church and it's people.
Indecisive group of people.
