let me tell you why i left the church why i left
christianity,
the following are my personal observations , analysis and
beleive,
after 2 years in the church and some other church i went for
visiting
i realised that the "rock" concert is nothing but a distraction,
its to keep the young ones entertained, to get them to come
back.
every time the light dims, and the synth starts to kick in, the
pastor will say the holy spirit is here, its nothing but well
perffected stage embience.
the pastors are always so "fired up" when preaching, "on fire" as
they put it,
this puts me off, i heard some pastors go as far as to wage war
against the demons that are hindu Gods, ironically the pastor was
indian.
i also observed that many christians are very disliked by many
people,
christians say they are persecuted because of their faith and that
it is fortold in the bible, oh they are suffering for their faith,
they make it sound saintly.
i think they got the word persecution wrong, i think the muslims
are lagi more persectued,
another reason why christians are disliked IN MY OWN OPINION, is
because of the fundementals of their teaching of how to relate to
others,
i have read up about the islamic concept of seeking
forgiveness,
first a muslim have to seek forgiveness from the person they have
sin against, before they are fit to seek forgiveness from
Allah,
this in MY OPINION is very good, because it puts them personally
responsible.
Christian teaching on the other hand, just have to seek God's
forgiveness and that is about it. the absolves them from alot of
personal acountability.
why i left the church, because simply i saw how a mess the
protestant church is,
I SAY CHURCH HERE NOT THE RELIGION, all religions are of divine
ideals, but its the people who screw things up.
every church is a schizm, has its own dogma, its own opinion on the
bible.
and they like to bitch about each other.
and see the mega churches like CHC, NCC lighthouse
evangelism,
LOOK at how much money they spent on the physical building, is it
what they call humble? is it necesarry, or is it luxury?
it looks to me like solomon's temple.
end of the day its a business to these alpha pastors, its a number
game.
finally i left the church because it never gave me peace, not the
worship not the place not the sermons, but one thing they taught me
is that if the holy spirit is there u will find peace.
i guess i found the holy spirit in a thai temple, i found a peace i
never had before.
my life experienced positive changes , and i am convinced, by their
creed and actions.
peace
these are just my own personal feelings analysis and observations,
and i hope it will shed some light on your question
