Can You Trust Everyone In Christian Churches? Are Christian Churches A

[angels4u]

Ps..118:8

 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

 

Micha 7 :5

 

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

[Willa]

Angel, I so agree.

Of course we cannot trust Christians. People are in churches for various reasons. Some are honostly seaking to find out more about God.

Some are there to look good for business purposes and get sales. My father in law was one of those. He concluded that the Elks lodge did him more good because he got more clients there than the Episcopal Church.

A man who had gospel cards or tracts on the counter in his business was convicted of supplying a woman with poison so she could kill her husband. He was having an affair with her.

We have to have off duty officers patrol our educational wing due to pedaphiles roaming the halls. A church is not a safe place.

Even those who are active, genuine Christians fall on their faces. When Jesus comes back and sets up His kingdom he will rule with a rod of iron. Satan will be on hold, and yet, human nature being fallible, still people will sin. But it will be safer than it is now. We will be able to trust people a little more. Until then, it is only going to get worse.

Some christians do hurt us. But I believe God allows this to tèach us more about exercising His forgiveness and love. No hurt is deeper than when it comes from people we are close to and trust. And they teach us to forgive the unforgivable just as Christ did when He prayed Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.

A church is like a hospital with imperfect, injured and sick people who are in various stages of recovery.

I have been thrown out of Churches for telling the truth.

 

My present Church is enduring me, but a husband and wife from a prominent family are boycotting the worship service because I go to their church with my wife. (I am the one they don't like).

 

This is the one who I thought looked remarkably like Jeri Ryan. Once she and her husband learned that was all my gawking was, they wanted to be buddy buddy... but I just wanted to go back to being neighbors.

 

I am not sure what I did to offend her again... but it was something... and I responded "fine! at least when you are this way you are being consistent!"

 

I have had too many instabilities for one life time I don't want it in people I am acquainted with.

 

Pray for me on this if you think of it. Living in smallville with the Kennsington-Smythe family sore at you (a new comer by their standards) it ain't easy.

 

I don't know why I wrote this here. The Church here is at least standing firm not to banish guests because Lilly Lou Kensington-Smythe has taken exception with them... a bold move in a small town btw.

 

The pastor just thinks the whole thing is foolish and sad. Pray for him because I am sure with sore prominent families comes dried up finances.

Jesus warned us about casting pearls before swine.  Perhaps you are being too honest with people that can't handle someone who is overly direct?  I have never known anyone who was kicked out of multiple churches. 

 

 

Well, if you are willing to claim someone you have typed to in a board/forum on the internet, I also have been kicked out of multiple churches. But, I have a local pastor who got upset with me almost 25 years ago, and whenever he finds out where I go, he will call the church and spread all kinds of negative things to get the pastor to kick me out, or try to force me out.
