I've heard enough generalized church bashing to last the rest of my life.

God tells us that if we create division in the body of Christ, be warned, if you destroy God's temple, He will destroy you.

Jesus said, Upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

But how many have a heard declare, "Western Christianity is a failure", "the church has become corrupt", on and on it goes.

Well, I have a couple of responses. First of which, if this is your experience, find a new church to attend! Seek until you find faithful believers. They are there. God will lead you to them.

Secondly, how in the world do you know what my church is like? Simple answer. You don't. So why make out like it's all so rotten? Does that make you feel better to sit over all of Christendom in judgment? Think about it.

And thirdly, who are you helping in telling everyone there isn't any good church anywhere? Why not be good church?

OK, I could go on, but, rant over.

Much love!

Paul , when speaking of divison spoke of this , Mark those who cause divisions contrary to the doctrine you have learned
mark them and avoid them .
Todays unity and todays divisions are both contrary to GOD as is todays love message .
ITS time more than ever to warn out against dangerous misled churches and men who speak contrary to Christ .
I wont be doing down this false unity , false love , false divisions stuff .
Satan has crept in and is bringing his own version of every said word . he brings a false love
a false unity , he makes those who warn against falsehoods seem as dangerous and haters .
THE DANGER is , IN leaving folks in lost churches . You better believe i am gonna warn to the end and to the end may i warn .

Lol. We need my buddy @amigo de christo here.
He is here and he will bash as folks call it . Yet it aint bashing , its out of GODLY LOVE i warn .
I shun this generations love , unity , fake message to hell fire . WE should have stuck in the bible and learned that pattern
instead of letting men twist it as they do many scriptures unto their own destruction .
The false movement is increasing , SO my warnings will as well no matter the cost . no matter the cost .

Flee the FALSE ones . the true lambs gather , but not under the false .
But the false are many . I am gonna warn out till my last breath gary . And though it has cost me already
it will soon cost me much more . OH but PRAISE GOD , PRAISE JESUS my end is good .
This world and this life is gonna throw at me as it does , BUT my hope , my strength , my salvation
my righteousness is not of this world , BUT OF CHRIST . And by that grace that put me in that bible
i shall remain in that bible and do all for the sakes of others no matter how hated i am for doing so .
I shun this generations love , its unity , its doctrine to hell fire . The people i pray for and shall warn
but the doctrine is of the devil and thus i shun it and may all do the same .

I’m gonna march on towards my church brother.
It’s beautiful.
It has beautiful icons and choir sounds and it smells like incense. We venerate Virgin Mary and the Saints and we worship God.
We also believe in and worship the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. We also believe in baptism. It’s wonderful.
Hallelujah !

The only good church is a church whose leaders are highly biblically sound . if the leaders cannot lead there is no need to sit under
that church . Why men couldnt have just stuck to the bible and trained men up in the truth ....
Flee all churches whose leaders do not sound like paul , james , jude , peter , john OR CHRIST
Cause any leader should have long been mature before they ever tried to stand over a church .
The problem is most leaders are false and folks cant even discern this .
I have only one mission in this life , this vapor of a life , TO POINT TO JESUS and to look out for everyone i can . ITS grace
its LOVE of GOD that compels me to look out for the lambs . WE should love one another , and the love that comes from
GOD would have LOVED JESUS above all and that kind of love that kind of grace , LOOKS OUT for the welfare of all .
Though this grace and love has cost me much , And it the days ahead it will cost me much more ,
I would never trade it in for anything . Though it has cost me much , many have turned against me
those i love most have turned against me . But Be that as it may , I WONT be slowing down the warnings
or any reminder of the biblical pattern . My desire is life for all , so i by grace shall speak TRUTH to all that i can .

1 Corinthians 11:18-19 KJV
18) For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19) For there must be also heresies (disunity) among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

This is the right kind of division, between the approved and not approved.

We must stand fast to faith in Christ, and tolerate no adulteration to the pure Gospel.

But among those who hold to the truth, let's press onward to the prize, and not indescriminately tear each other down.

Much love!

I cannot remain silent in regard to what I believe in false doctrine not because I hate but because time is running out and my hope is to open the eyes of those deceived. I do not feel compelled to beat anyone into any belief but only to point to the truth. God takes care of the rest. I just want to do my part. My prayer and hopes are that we all fellowship together in Heaven soon.

Stay GLUED into that Bible and FLEE the churches !

Hebrews 10:24-25 KJV
24) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Much love!

Did you know that pauls letters were to build up the church . As was His correction .
See a church or person left uncorrected , that is DESTRUCTION .
Correction is for the good of the people .
So dont mind what i say next , FLEE POPE francis , flee emergent , flee prosperity preachers , flee the social gosple
flee this unity move , flee all false teachers and beware them and thier doctrine like the plague .
Worship GOD . pray only to GOD and not angels , not saints , not mary . And if any church teaches us to do these things
FLEE that leadership , flee and never look back and take as many with you as you can .
Now , Show me my error in what i just said .

I have only this to add to what you said , YOU INCREASE in those warnings , IF WE LOVE THE PEOPLE WE WARN the PEOPLE .
YOU increase in this . Time is running out and a nasty delusion has set in . WE MUST DO ALL WE CAN for the love of the others
to POINT folks in the right direction and warn them to FLEE the WRONG direction .
