For example , are you in favor of women Pastors & deacons ? Do you agree with feminism? that would cause some personal conflict & resentment. If you disagree with the basic tenets they follow then you can always become a Lutheran or what have you, that is up to you. Some times an individuals issues with a Church are partly their own as much as it is the particular denomination, but they want to "reform" the church to fit their personal preferences. No, I'm talking about being so focused on Evangelism! Evangelism! Evangelism! that the importance of discipleship is neglected. I'm talking about obsessing over "right thinking" and neglecting "right doing" - note that I'm not talking about salvation, but simply Christian living. I'm talking about preaching principles and throwing out a verse or two to back up your principle, yet the verse is taking a significant liberty apart from the context of the paragraph from which the sentence or phrase was taken. Things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot speak for all of them. You say that as if "church" is the only exposure I've had. But I've been listening to TV and radio preachers since the 70's; been to Christian camps; been following and interacting with several ministries; etc.,etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
