Why are Christians leaving their churches?

[Bruce-Leiter]

And then there are actual Christians that quit attending church because all the churches in their area are teaching false doctrine and are nothing more than religious social clubs void of God's Spirit.





One could accept what God's Word says and quit being lost on this topic...

Acts 11:26
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

The early believers were acting like Jesus... so this is why they were called Christians since they were followers of Jesus the Christ. It doesn't matter what people say Christians are today.

I know for a fact that the eleven pastors in our large church and the people in my small group are genuine Christians following Christ. I hope that you can find such a genuine church home too.

Maybe Christs people are weary and awakened to mingling with hypocrits.
Sunday Christians who act pious one day a week. When for the rest their true colors shine forth.

Pastors who commit adultery. Pastors who teach materialism.

How many here have encountered those who say they're Christians and then speak to others as if they need Jesus?

Maybe people are leaving churches because they're sick of the woke movement morphing a denominational doctrine into Apostasy.

Pastors,churches,embracing active sinners in the name of tolerance for what God condemns.

Christians who leave Apostate churches are to be commended.

"The God who made the whole world and everything in it is the Lord of the land and the sky. He does not live in temples built by human hands. This God is the One who gives life, breath, and everything else to people. He does not need any help from them; he has everything he needs."

We are God's temple. We can leave fallen churches for the sake of truth. And join together in home churches,Bible study, so to stay united and strong in The Word.

That Word is not edited by political panderers. It is not politically correct.

Religion without relationship.

Better to have a relationship without Religion.

 

[Verily]

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

You don't want to be a vain man with a vain religion

Thank you for the encouragement.

I let it go a long time ago, or so I thought. When I left the swine trough, Father began to reveal my heart to me. Two of the elders involved have sadly passed away. I pray for the other brother on occasion.

I do believe I know now why the Lord allowed this to happen. And I clearly see my part in it, doesn't make it right, but I do see.

In all the drastic changes that took place at my conversion, I was still too full of pride (personal and spiritual) to be trusted with His ministry. How much pride? Well, it took Him thirty years to humble me.

"To see ones own sins, and to weep over them, the man who has this blessing, has everything."
Thomas Watson

He has blessed me with a new ministry, and it's already producing fruit. Which at this time in my life, is really all that I desire.

God Bless you Brother. And thank you for your faithful service to our King. With all the trouble in the "church" today. The faithful servant is often overlooked. The Holy Spirit placed a burden upon my heart to pray for the faithful. So I guess you've been in my prayers for a while already, but its nice to see your face and know your name.

Praise Yahweh. Glory to the Son.

You're very welcome! I'll be praying for your ministry. God has given me three forum ministries, including this one. He has also guided me to write books and has made me a published author in both fiction and nonfiction, which blew my mind! God is great!

Many who are far from churches or denominations will be in heaven from the relationship they have with Christ.

Reader beware , all beware
for a covenant of false peace that leadeth only to the lie of anti christ
does grow amongst massive amounts of christendom .
Upon viewing what its leader and leaders have said
About the only peace n safety they gonna attain
IS SUDDEN DESTRUCTION UPON THEM ALL ON THE DAY OF ALMIGHTY GOD and of the LAMB
WHOM THAT SORRY pile of false peace dead fake world love covenenat , DENIED .
I WATCHED THEM . JESUS WAS DENIED . i repeat JESUS WAS DENIED . but so many still
run to the solution of interfaith abraham peace accords . THEY RUN TO A LIE
and seek and HOPE IN MEN and in man to save them and to bring peace n safety .
THERE WILL BE NO PEACE unto the wicked . That warning may sound unloving to most
might sound as hate to most . BUT VERY TRUE IT IS . and seeing i desire only good for the peoples
ME GONNA WARN AGAINST THIS ANTI CHRIST peace making covenant .

True, but being an active member in a Bible-preaching and a Bible-discussing small group enables a believer to grow spiritually to prepare better for heaven.

 

[Berean]

True, but being an active member in a Bible-preaching and a Bible-discussing small group enables a believer to grow spiritually to prepare better for heaven.

As Hebrews 10:25 says "do not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."

Unless they have gone down a false path such as speaking in tongues or OSAS, got to be careful..

Maybe its like other people gay people and minorities Atheist can now come out of the closet openly without any fear - they never believed in God.My brother is one and no one knew until he came out of the closet as a atheist he hid it all through his youth and says so.Then the rest of my brothers and sister came out of the closet and said they were Atheist and never believed leaving only me and my mother as believers.My sister passed away recently and God was not mention once at her service or a prayer said a Godless funeral it was hard for me.I know more Atheists then I know Christians today when I was young I knew of no Atheists didn't know what that word meant.

Atheist are coming out of the closet in droves because its ok now and in some cases praised.Atheist still have faith its faith in themselves not God.

That's true, if tongues lead them to use them unbiblically or to lead them to pride or OSAS leads them to fatalism or pride, which is not Calvinism but a misunderstanding of it.

That's why we must stick to the Bible, sola scriptura, or we get ideas of man or vain philosophy mixed in with humanisms..

 

[Bruce-Leiter]

Amen,Hobie! That's Calvinism in its best form.

My advice is never stop praying of your family, because my dad came to believe in Jesus at the age of 77!

We've reached the point were God had to wipe out the earth before in the days of Noah, and it seems He will soon let down His wrath on them.

Genesis 6:5
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Why are christains leaving their churches .
A better question is Exactly what kind of church are they leaving .
YOU see if its a church that preaches the smooth go with the flow messages
THEN them Christains are leaving FOR GOD has called them out .
NOW if a church is preaching the TRUTH
and christains are leaving , ITS cause they desire the SMOOTH ways and NOT THE TRUTH
and thus , ARE THEY REALLY EVEN CHRISTAIN at all .
Perhaps this be the best way to have asked the question .

 

[amigo de christo]

birds of a feather always flock together . the question is under what so called hen have many been a sitting .
What so called church do men flock too . THE TRUE , OR THE FALSE .
So i must say and say again , HOW bout we all get in the bible and love the truth , grow
and TEST them men who do speak .
