It is good to be able to relate to others and leave sin for righteousness. Here is a suggestion, even if you leave your church.There are some on CC that are going thru some things spiritually.
⦁ They don't feel like they're being fed anymore in their church. When they come home, they don't even feel better because they went to church. Some actually feel worse for going.
⦁ They fell spiritually uneasy with their church. They can't put a finger on it, but they suspect something's really wrong in their church.
⦁ Their church has lost its fire. Worship & prayer have become a traditional pastime. The congregation seems to go thru the motions.
⦁ True worship seems to have been replaced with excitement of the flesh.
⦁ Worshipping God in song has been replaced with me-worship. Instead of songs that worship God for who He is & praising His holy name, it's songs that are proclaiming who they are (I am a child of God, I am blessed, I am free, etc.).
⦁ Bible study has been replaced with teaching out of other people's books.
⦁ Preparing sermons are no longer started by ministers on their knees asking God to anoint them & give them His word for the church. Most sermons they preach belong to someone else on the internet or Bible software. That may be good enough for some, but shouldn't God be allowed to give personal instructions for each congregation according to their spiritual needs?
⦁ The church's "by-laws" have stricter guidelines on giving than on attendance, ministry & participation. Those who give, vote, even when absent much of the time.
If you notice a couple of things on this list are in your church, be rest assured there are others you haven't noticed yet.
I'm certain some of you might have other things you would add to this list, & I would welcome your input.
My main objective here is to ask you are these things a wake-up call to find another church that is true to its people & preach/teach/worship like God is still in charge of it? Isn't it about time to do some serious praying & ask God to reveal the truth about your church and yourselves?
Be rest assured, it's either them or you who is at fault, & either way you deserve to know the truth once & for all. Seek God, know the truth, & allow the truth to set you free.
It's my strong desire to be a help to those standing in the land of decision. I would admonish you to act quickly on this before it's too late. Please allow this message a chance to change your life for the better.
Hebrews 10:25 NASB95 - not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging [one another;] and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

I think we need to get away from our own views boeng what everyone else must agree with or our denominational biases or whatever has become our own beliefs about each detail . I’m not sure dividing from other Individual groups of believers differing denominations ( churches plural as in groups ) is the intent there but those who believe and those who don’t generally if someone attends a church service weekly if it’s a baptist service , a catholic service , Protestant service ect there’s a pretty great chance the person who thinks it’s worth thoer time to go listen to a message about the lord from the Bible do believe in Jesus.
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? ( he’s talking about belief and non belief using the contrary nature of good and evil )and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?( he’s used several examples of contrary natures being opposed dark and light righteousness and sin Christ and a false god those things can’t be linked being opposed like belief and in belief they have no relationship opposed completely )
for ye are the temple of the living God; ( having his spirit in us )as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV
The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD. For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.”
Isaiah 52:10-15
The last part is a prophetic principle about the gospel in the law and prophets foretelling what god would later do but it was given as a physical pattern you see the principle applied to the flesh and physical in the law like this
“Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.”
Leviticus 5:2 KJV
“Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.”
Leviticus 7:21
This principle meant if they had done something touched anything g seemed unclean by the law of Moses particularly the book of Leviticus where it repeatedly appears , and then they also partook of the flesh of the peace offering then they needed to be cut off from the people of God for defiling what was meant to be a sacrifice for holiness and not to be defiled by any violation of the laws of cleanliness in the New Testament we see also this same sacrificial partaking of principle when it comes to partaking of the flesh and blood of our sacrifice that brings us peace with God
“For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.”
1 Corinthians 11:26-31 KJV
“for the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.”
Deuteronomy 23:14
Its why we need remission of our sins in Jesus name by his blood and flesh and our faith in him God is holy and is opposed completely to sin we all sinned and it brought wrath now he’s offered mercy and part of that is to accept the covering he gave us in Christ that remits our sins and calls us children of God
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Galatians 3:26-28 KJV
He has no sin he died to pay for our sins we live because of his righteousness and the promise of his spirit. There are people who hear and believe the message of the gospel then there are those who do not we shouldn’t be “ unequally yoked to those who don’t , because bad company corrupts good character that’s developing of faith
"Let the record show", a narcissistic tendency of turning the attention to another for your lack of answering about yourself.
He won't answer... he never does when it's personal about him.

I'll answer your question; I'm anxious to answer it. But you still won't answer when I ask how you define "church." How do you propose I answer the question: "Are you looking for a church to attend" when I don't know what you mean by "church?" It would be foolish to try to answer a question I don't fully understand, as Proverbs says:
"He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him." Proverbs 18:13
I think you just like to control people and if you answered my question you would lose a little bit of that control. Sorry, I'm not looking for a personal prophet.
You've been put on ignore, cause I've grown weary of your narcissistic attitude.
I brought him back off ignore, because I realized I can't keep an eye on him that way.
Sly move...but when did I declare myself to be a prophet at all?
You are right about one thing though...You don't care about me, what you really care about is distracting the readers from the thread, causing them to leave, because nobody wants to listen to such foolishness. Strongly disagree with the thread, or start an argument with someone who doesn't like what you're doing. It's a win-win either way.
