Why Is There So Much Hypocrisy In The Christian Church? by fuckJones(f): 8:14am On Jul 14
If you look carefully at the recorded words of Jesus, you will notice that his greatest condemnation was reserved for religious hypocrites. Anyone who claims to be his disciple without a similar revulsion and distain for hypocrisy is just pretending

That’s why I don’t attend church.

I really dislike how many people are so nice in church and so awful once they leave.

people think that going to church makes them look good and maybe it does but I found out how many liars there are in church.

A few years ago I had friends I thought were really good friends but after I got sick they stopped coming around just when I needed them the most.

At least I know I’m not always worthy of being in church but I do ask for forgiveness and I think God knows

The primary cause of this is the Carrot and stick (reward and punishment) method used to preach the gospel. The fundamental teachings of modern day Christianity is heaven and hell so Christians do not care about actually being Good but rather appearing to be Good in order to avoid hell and go to heaven.

Do you not see that Satan always attacks and corrupts and takes over everything that is God's eg Eve, Isreal, the law keepers and judges,.the syngagoue,etc?

That is not True.

What goes on is that Satan always attacks and tries taking (stealing) and colonizing all of God's things.

Today's “mega churches” are all about what you can get, not to glorify and thank God for His most wonderful gift of salvation. They water down the message in order to appeal to society’s self-centred nature.

One is hard pressed to even hear the name Jesus being spoken. I forced myself to sit through one sermon by one so-called Daddy G. O just to see if he ever made mention of the Gospel. The only reference he made to God was describing how to manipulate God into giving you whatever you want. And he is not alone. No one wants to hear the truth anymore.

This is just the truth. The main things preached today is
1. God will make you rich and prosperous
2. God will kill all your enemies
3. God will not allow you to suffer or be involved in any accidents
4. God will make you a famous and popular person
5. God will punish you if you don't pay tithe or go to church.

When you have overcome a person they are cast away and they go away.

But if you are doing their will, then it is them who have overcome you.

grin Na the way forward be that na grin

But seriously if they didn't preach all that there will be very few Christians today. The primary reason why many people are still Christians is because of the possible rewards, take that away and watch the churches become deserted.

If you aren't attending churches, you're missing spiritual activities that can connect you easily to ya creator. Yes some people v soiled name of church but there are good churches. Just stay off church politics. What creates issues in churches are Nigerian factors that happens in homes, association, workplace etc. Too much of see finish. Just act maturely and stay off drama. Locate nearest good church and be attending to meet ya creator spiritually regularly. Staying home alone in worship isn't enough.

When you watch live match and recorded one, which one sweet pass?
Do you know why people still go to stadia to watch soccer when they can sit at home to see it on TV?
It's cos live experience is better than recorded ones.
When you're in church, you connect live n direct with multitudes of others. Also, there's impartation directly from the alter at Church services.
So it's not cos they want you to come n drop ya offerings & tithes.
If you v been to a Church wey shenk you before, there are millions of sane ones worldwide and hundreds in ya loyalty that you can attend. Just look for a Bible believing one.
Shalom.

That statement of Jesus is saying a town ll come when Church won't be in Jerusalem (Jesus hood) anymore but anywhere in the world. Afterall, salvation is for all. And it's happening in present day.
Secondly, you're mixing up points or just deliberately going astray. The Koko here is going to church regularly makes you connect with fellow believers. Except your going to a yori-yori Church.
Lastly, no forget the lessons I v shared early which are above.

where do you get your interpretation from sir, you contradict Jesus message in John 4, true worship" of God does not require one to be Jewish, or Samaritan, or in the temple (church), or on the mountain. Rather, true worship requires spirit and truth, and God is seeking those who want Him in this way, it can be anywhere, Jonah seek him in the fish belly and he answers him.
