If you can't understand that people like to be around other people that are like them. Then I have nothing else to say to you on this subject. People live, shop, and go to church by people that are in the same culture as themselves.
Why do Christians prefer their Churches segregated..

I woke up today realizing that if Jesus Christ was a member of this Forum. That it would not be allowed for him to teach who he is. Let that sink in.
Luke 6:26
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
It's to be expected...

Common sense is “birds of a feather flock together.”
It is only our sick society, poisoned by Cultural Marxism, that suggests it ought to be any other way - by default.
Naturally, other factors play a role, such as devotion to denomination and driving distance but ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, the adage generally applies - and the statistics bear that out.

Change in subject. The question is why would anyone go to a particular church. Culture is the driver.
Some go for the door prizes... and the beer
Some of the free gracers are serving beer to attract paying customers... er I mean new church members.
And other have door prizes to get the gullible thru the door.

People don't pick their neighborhood for the church they will attend.
If that was the case and we demanded high quality churches instead of worrying about other things we'd be far better off societally.

Wow! I almost did not see yet another change in subject. Guess what? No one said "People pick their neighborhood for the church they will attend."
Actually some do... I moved across m y state to another city just to go to a particular church.
God leads some to do exactly this.

Hmm yes culture is the drive for modern day Christians. Rather than a church be full of individuals, it is full of people who have abdicated there own "self" to a "group". It is group think mentality and hence no one thinks for themselves. If the Christian group is voting Trump.... well let's all vote Trump. If the Christian group is pro Covid Vaccination... let's get vaccinated.
This is a generalization but goes for the majority. No one thinks for themselves. They are brainwashed sheep. They cannot make decisions for themselves because they have forgotten how. They are not sure what is right or what is wrong so they look for something external from themselves to guide them. Hence we have all the spiritual problems associated with Guilt in the church.
Yes, Peter had the same problem...
Galatians 2:11-14
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Not comparing apples with apples. Because I have nothing in common with a bunch of loud black football fans screaming in my ear about the game is not the same as refusing to eat with them when certain other people are around.
Or 12 Jews listening to a Jewish leader talk to them about the conflict of the ages with evil, it is apples to apples....

Would you have anything in common with a bunch of loud white football fans?
If not, then why even make the race distinction?
Would having more in common with white football fans who were loud make things more comfy?
What's the problem? Loudness, footballness, or blackness?
This thread really disturbs me.

If its against the rules, go ahead and close the thread, didnt mean to overstep. As I think the point has been made how all peoples and nationalities will be in the Kingdom and Christ made His statement on this clear.
John 13:35
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Has anyone yet mentioned that we have so many denominations because we have that many groups who think that everyone else is wrong?
Why do Christians prefer their Churches segregated..
Short answer. Disagreement with Operational and Teaching Management of a church organization.
While a “Christian Church” is supposed to Expressly be “Established and Upheld” a reflection of Being Christ’s Church…
Built on the Foundation of The Lord God Almighty…and Christ the Head of His Church…and Belief of it’s members that;
Jesus IS the Christ the Son of the Living. God….
Individual established “churches” are NOT ALL “upholding” by, through, of their own Appointed, MANAGEMENT, to whit “individuals” disagree and elect to pledge membership to a “church organization” to which they believe the “MANAGERS” DO reflect a stance of “upholding” representation of God, according to Gods way.
A Conundrum is presented, when “MANAGEMENT” of a particular “church”, changes to a “new Managing” of the “church”, and a congregate is in disagreement …
Such a congregate has two options..
Object, be heard, be ignored and Continue with the Unsatisfactory Management or seek another church with a satisfactory Management.
Glory to God,
Taken

Denominations purporting to be Christian, hangs on ONE THING of Agreement…
It’s Christ’s Church, He is the Head, and the Foundation IS: Jesus IS the Christ the Son of the Living God.
Individual “churches” can name their “building” whatever they want.
A “denomination” can be “different” from “church building to church building”….by, through, of….the slightest differences of “church rules and management”
For examples;
A making of an establish “tradition”.
A making of can’t cut hair, no dancing.
A making of rituals, required to participate in.
A making of particular adornments required.
A making of which day and times to meet.
A making of extra curricular guide books outside of Scripture.
Blah, blah, blah, on and on.
Glory to God,
Taken
But, as I've seen, those churches insult each other. Just how "Christian" is that? If churches focus on God and the Son alone, we would not have much bickering and we would not be casting accusations about how many within there building a "saved."
