The answer to the question is yes. The barrier to God can be another christian. Isolated and bad moments strengthen our relationship with God, but this is uneasy for most. I didnt like acknowledging this. But my relationship with God has changed. My prayer life is better, and understanding Gods word is better.

Sometimes when I am at church, I ask myself.
"Would you associate with these people if you were not part of the same fellowship?"
Some I would, but some I wouldn't. Why is that?

Oftentimes Christian society is so off-putting to the average person.
If a renewed relationship with God requires being like them, forget it.


We are called to be in the world but not of it.
It seems that many Christians are not in the world.

Maybe you should ask why you are obsessed AGAINST the Bible, just like Satan.

Nearly all of your threads are attacking the Bible. That's LOTS of words against God of the Bible!

Good luck on Judgment Day.

Matthew 12:36-37

36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it on the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
