What bugs me is television evangelists with their big ole' smiles,all the while living high on the hog,when all the money is supposed to go for the poor,to provide for their needs,and the preacher is not to be in the ministry for the money,and has to comply to the same rules as all saints,having food and clothing,be content,and God wants equality among the saints,that them that had little did not lack,and them that had a lot did not have anything left over,and all according to needs,and God said some people pray amiss,for they pray for their wants.
Also I do not like when they put their hands out,and people fall down in groups,and convulse on the floor,and Benny Hinn knocking people down with his jacket,and things like that.
And saying to the congregation,you do not hear me,as if he knows them all,and they are hypocritical,and do not understand like he does,and rant and rave up and down the platform,when Jesus walked in to the temple,had the Rabbi hand him the word of God,read a scripture,and said today is this scripture fulfilled in your ears,handed the book back,and sat down.Jesus did not rant and rave around,and take up time to explain a 2 minute sermon in to 1 hour,for He said what He wanted to say,and summed it up in as much time as it needed to be summed up,not wasting time,but getting to the point.
Oh I am sorry,you were talking about things we do not like in the Church,my bad.

Churches that preach on sin most of the time and not the gospel or the message of Christ. They make people sin-conscious instead of Christ-conscious. You preach the law and you will get the fruit of the law. Preach the love and grace of God and you will get the fruit of the Spirit.
Both talk about God but only one is the gospel which is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. In it - the righteousness of God is revealed - not our own.

It bothers me when others see singles of the same age and encourage them to be together without first finding out if they are both interested. There have been guys that there is no way I'd be with- even if there were a gun to my head, or they were the last guy on earth. And I felt so embarrassed and uncomfortable that I moved away several times.
I don't mind if someone asks me if I like so-and-so, but I do mind them pushing someone on me that I am dead set against being romantically involved with. I do hope to find him someday, and I appreciate wannabe cupids IF they first ask me about how I feel about that person before introducing the thought to them. One guy they tried to force on me was twice my age and had a big goiter on his neck. His neck skin hung down almost to his collar. I know I'm no super model either, but.
