It’s actually Scriptural to LEAVE the Local Church Scene. It’s very Institutional, and many Christians have been frustrated with it for years because it’s not very Loving or very Spiritual.
In Scripture, there is a Prophecy concerning
Christendom in this Day and Age……An Invitation from the Father’s Heart to His Children.
It Says: “Come out from Among them and I will be a Father to You and You shall be My Children”
In Reality. In other words, We Can FUNCTION As His Children. We can ENJOY our Christian Lives So Much Better. Yes Really!
You are Allowed to Do That. Local Churches are So Forbidding ie “you can’t do this and you can’t do that”……you can’t give a Testimony (there’s no time for that, it went out 4 decades ago) you can’t say a prayer in the Congregation (only officials can say those) you can’t Function in your Calling (the place is over-run by “Leaders”) you shouldn’t make any Important Decisions without running them pass “Your Pastor” first (see if he approves)
Honestly, this is not meant to be disrespectful – it may help you – Pastors are such Control Freaks. Anything doesn’t go (it’s not allowed) if they don’t like it; it doesn’t suit the way they have things structured or planned. You just have to come every Sunday and attend Services, and when you are in attendance “Shut Up and sit down”……. “Stand Up” when you’re told to……”Sing Songs” from the Projector Screen when you’re told to……Pay (them) your “Tithes and Offerings”……..”be a good Christian, pledge towards Building Funds” as well to “Save the Lost”……and then “Go Home” when you’re all dismissed.
Honesty Friends, aren’t You Lost in that Environment?
Aren’t you Cramped for Space to find Expression in that Atmosphere? And they’re asking you to Fund a “New Building” whatever, to bring More People into the same things that have “Stifled You” all these years!? Can you see now why that is So Wrong?
The System is So Wrong! And people are Wiser than the Christians, when they AVOID IT.
They think it’s Not Healthy, while we Continue in It.
