The Church is DOA.

Debating religion is fruitless and won’t accomplish anything except put notches on their belt of satisfaction.

How long will it take for people to decide to stay in the church and follow the pastor, or leave the church and follow Christ?

This is the second part of my testimony about how and why I left the church.

Sometimes it’s hard to not to respond to the craziness of the overtly religious and even harder to not make comments on YouTube videos. I have had to re-learn my first personal commandment: “Thou shalt not comment, answer, or argue with a fool in his or her folly.” I re-learned that no good will ever come from messing with the churched crowd and to leave them alone.

I mean no insult to anyone who holds the KJV near and dear to their heart. This video is not about the JKV Only debate. This video focuses on two verses in Hebrews 13 that are used by the clergy and overtly religious to gain and keep control over believers; Hebrews 13:7 and Hebrews 13:17. A YouTube sister asked me to do a video on the mistranslation of these verses.

Why does the church seem to attack those who leave it to pursue a closer walk with the Lord? Where’s the love and encouragement?

“Once saved always saved; “people can choose Jesus if they want to; “everybody’s invited;” are these statements true, or are just a ploy to make membership numbers bigger?

There appears as if there is no dividing line between those who are truly born-again and those who are church members. Big Mamma (the church) plans it this way to prevent the born-again from realizing their true identity as God’s sons and daughters. In reality, the dividing line is the front door of the church; once one has entered into the church they are officially the disciples of the pastor and his conclave--not Christ’s disciples.
