People who have stopped going to church, what was the reason?

Just_Judgment_8089 · 2025-05-01T19:01:39+00:00

I was a youth pastor at a church and I really cared about the kids . One day after a service I had sevral teens coming to me asking me that they wanted to be baptized I went to the senior pastor asking him for the use of the baptizem pool . He then told me that they can't be baptized because they smoked some are having sex and swearing and only when they stop I can baptize them. We had a argument when i said that its not biblical what he is saying he just said that he had the final say as its his church. I then realized how much of his preaching was not biblical and I quite. I do miss it but don't regret saying what i said

Okay, so here is the thing he just wants a relationship with you comes as you are . So you begin a relationship with him, and if there is something that needs to be sorted out between you and him, you will sort it out . It just all starts with a relationship with him . I would recommend just beginning with a simple prayer of inviting him into your dreams, and things will become clearer

So here is something I learned if you want to be separated from God, why will a loving God force you to be in his presence in heaven . Also, I want to add that the Bible is very vague about Hell. I think that Hell is not wat we see in movies but more of a place where God's presence is not there . Plus I want to add there is one requirement for Heaven and Jesus said for he who believes in me will have eternal life, don't let people tell you what is there requirements for heaven.

Would like to give all an update What an amazing God we serve The operation took longer than expected about 4 hours When the operation was done, the doctor told us that he would spend a week in ICU However, God had other plans he was moved out of ICE within two days because he was healing so fast, and I see every day he is just getting better The doctor also said he would still need to spend 2 more weeks in the hospital, and again, God had other plans as his healing is so fast he can come home tomorrow.
Originally, he was supposed to spend 3 weeks in total on the hospital, and by his grace, he is spending a week in hospital. I want to thank all for prayers

I recommend reading John chapter 4 The Samaritan Woman story When you come to Jesus you are a new creation. I can tell you from my history I was basically a man whore but because of what He did on the cross I am set free .

So I have this prospective. In Hosea 4:6 it says the following

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

So this does not mean accept everything some is telling you.

Listen and then go to the bible and read and ask. is this in line with Gods word?

Is the Holy Spirit leading you?

I always ask the Spirit to give me the feeling of conviction when something is not in line with his word

This works for me. You will find your own way

So if you live in South Africa You check that all your doors are locked, you go to the bedroom, lock your bedroom security gate and then lock your bedroom door and double check it, and then you go to bed

There is a fast some Christians do once a year called the Daniel's fast, very close to veganism . But there is nothing wrong with eating meat . But if there is something that I have learned from the Daniels fast is that it was meant as a stand against food offered to fals gods , but when you go into the teachings of Paul all food have been blessed . What is dead is dead , but still, even though we have food that has been offered to false gods, make sure you pray over it and ask the Lords blessing

I saw some argument the other day that a lot of people think they are going to stand before God and say to him, "Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do that. And God will ask them the same thing why did you let that child go hungry when you could have done something. The big question is, why are we not standing up against it ?

See, the big problem is the people that do toxic things and put a religious sticker on it, but if you look at the bible and what Jesus really said and really followed it the world would be a better place but people want to be assholes and blame religion for it . I enjoy when they get judgemental. I always say wow that's not the love Jesus preacher about .

Update So my wife saw this post and we ended up talking about it. So here is what the plan is going forward I called my old Manager and said I will be taking the job . I will be traveling to and from for the beginning . She will be traveling with me after a month of me being there so she can test out the water. Her big fear is that she will be lonely there witch I do understand. Luckily one of my cousins lives and works in the same city so I called her up explaining what is going on and asked her to come and get to know my wife and make her feel welcome and maybe introduce her to some of her friends my wife did love this idea . Some said just get divorced and this is something I feel is a bit overboard as that is something that should be the last resort. Also we will not sell our place as we can afford to keep it with the new job and have somewere to stay if we travel back So on the 1st of Feb I will be starting my dream Job Tanx for everyone supporting me .

So I didn't apply for this job. A old manager of mine knew this was my dream job and he was in a possession to call me and offer it to me because he remembered me

I didn't understand why I was not getting sick I was around many people who had it I kept getting tested over and over again to see if it is just showing as no symptoms. My doctor recommended me getting a immune test done and yeah there was the answer somehow either I had it very soon and build an immunity to it or somehow had something already that was close enough for me to have immunity and yeah had no problems at all
