And you know what? Super saintly people who shine like the sun DO exist! Except the jerkasses hog all the attention and therefore leave people in disillusion. All the way back in Paul's day also got this problem.

The church is like the ark. The ark stinks with bajillion animals. Yet the ark is the only safe place from the storm and flood.

the only way for those jerks to buck up is to reduce their recruitment.

when people are aware which church are church of assssholes...they won't go there. then the leaders will start paying attention to the "spiritual" needs of their congregation than their own pockets or their own ego pride.

exactly what i am doing..i am creating awareness here to would be christians, new christians and non christians.

how can you help ego jerks? its like a robber want to rob a bank and u know about it...so you provide transport to the robber to rob bank? or course not...you tell everybody about the robber lah...or report to police...moral police.

then leonhart88 tell me to voice out to the robbers not to rob a bank...what is the point?

i go to the robbers and tell them..."hey don't rob the bank"...next thing they will show me their gun and tembak. Like throw pearls at swines that don't appreciate.

Actually you're creating resentment more than awareness but this is not how the kingdom of God works.

There are principals to apply when it comes to God's Church it's not an institution void of God's involvement.

What you're doing is using Man's way which really does nothing but cause further damages instead of solving it.

God's Kingdom follows suit God's way. Something you may not be ready to hear.

Besides, we don't really know if your story is actually propagated in a complete true view. Could be one sided for all we know.

i saw a lot of new chrisitans wanting to look for church come here to ask about this church or that.

and non christians hoping for a new life, this forum probably give them encouragement to join church.

my message here is to warn them that the grass is not greenier on the other side. I want to prevent already hurt people who were abused, drug addicts, former prostitutes, destitutely poor from getting further hurt. I am in better position so its my social obligation to help. And don't teach me about giving aid, i know more than that than you. I've participated in buddhist societies to help the poor in Klang Bus Station area...i also help christians before in their aid to provide to Myanmmar refugees. I've gone to org asli area to assist christians to provide tution and edu aid even though i not chrsitian.

sometimes the church or hollywood tend to portray church going people as perfect, honest, friendly and give new hope in the newcomer.

but i am trying to tell them that the people at the church are not perfect and there are politics there.

i care about the people who are about to hurt themselves thinking they will find new life in the church people...

i am not saying that people won't find new life in your god, they probably will. but if they expecting encouragement from the church leaders, not everybody is perfect. well maybe there are good guys in the church but there are bad guys too.

yes i am offensive at least i am honest.

i used to know a lot of frens at school who are suicidal and have pre marital pregnancies go to church ot seek new life...but i am trying to forewarn them that the people in some of the churches are political.

but my message also have a good side, i am telling them to go to a better church...if they see the first signs of a church of asssholes...please leave...i am very sure there are nice churches like the one in gombak called metro tab church...i met a lot of nice people from there.

that's good for you bro. lucky Jesus is kind to us still want to forgives us although we commit many sins.. I myself have lots of sins. I am not perfect. Many Christians just go church and read bible but never apply them to their life. It's very sad. We do not know what happen next, this world is near ending, do you believe? Are you prepared for world end? I am myself not prepared yet, still have many sins cry.gif although many pastors said as long as we believe in Jesus so we do not need to be afraid.

Dear Leonhart88,

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. —1 John 1:9

Confession and forgiveness should be a continuous experience. If you find yourself sinning a lot, perhaps you should pray more. Have a closer walk with God. Make prayer a habit. Bring everything before God. Ask God to search your heart for every hidden thing to be revealed. The Holy Spirit speaks & convicts when we listen.

As long as we still live in the flesh, we will continue to struggle with sin. The world that we live in today is more sensuous & materialistic. Temptation is at every corner. I perfectly understand your struggles. Therefore, we must always guard our hearts in chasing after the things of the world.

Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour - 1 Peter 5:8

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. - 1 John 2:16 - 17

It's true that the church age will be ending soon. There is still time for us to get our spiritual house in order. Our heavenly father is merciful & always warns his children. There are signs & wonders in the heavens. The 1st of the TETRAD BLOOD MOONS have already passed us by in April 2014.
We are very near to the beginning of the tribulation.

you sure or not,  thought your bible says somewhere...your great apostle james say something like, if you love your jesus, you would obey him, therefore if you still knowingly sin, you like again put your jesus on the cross over and over again. You willing to put your lord on the nail cross again?

also confession has to be extremely genuine...after you confess then you sin again...what is the point? Hey i not saying i perfect lah, even i admit i am very sinful person as well....but when pastors say you believe you are safe...they like saying so wat? continue sinning lah...you still be saved... then there is a misconception on confession, must you go to altar call to make confession? then where is in your bible say anything about getting slain in altar call? me not saying that altar call is wrong...but fact is you can make your confession via prayer right?

therefore, to disobey appear to show that the believer not really believe because believer still knowingly sin, knowingly sin show that the believer not so believe. believer who keep on disobeying, he show any love for his jesus or not? you ask yourself lah.

the pastors that teach these stuff, just want more people to join their congregation bigger and bigger, they only interested in the big church, big congregation. Quantity not quality..

thats why i heard from my same friend who works full time from a mega church, that his church of 4000 members, only 60% registered in cell group, registered as members even less.

People who have sin, we non christians are ok with as long as the person is humble and friendly thats important. The thing i don't like about certain christians, the third quality i spoke to you about is that these people tend to be very controlling type and don't accept that they made a mistake.

I can see you are a hurt individual and the way you are pour out all your "frustration" seems to have some sort of motives.

but that doesn't validate your story anyway. Just saying.

for you is one sided of course. Yours also one sided what...

but my side tend to be a third party independent view which would attract a lot of attention from non christians who thinks church give them new hope.

to join an abusive church is even more damaging. i am telling the non christians out there, once you join a church after a few months still feeling disillusion, butt out...there are so many churches out there you can join and different views.

what man's way? i am saying the principal...lu tak suka keluar lah...meaning to say...don't mingle in a church that doesn't support your growth..get out...

isn't that what happen to your spiritual ancestor jacob when israel was suffering from famine..that he and his family had to leave the promise land to go to egypt to rejoin his long lost son...?

isn't it god's way too to get out when situation there is untenable?

I didn't tell any story like you do.

All of us help others in one way or another. I do and I don't go around boasting about it either using as a leverage like how you do here.

On the other hand there are many Christians are opposite of what you are claiming here.

If you know you're not perfect, you have no right to accuse others of your expectation. That is a simple principal.

I am beginning to suspect that you have a self righteousness problem, judging from all your stories.

Because it's quite obvious, you think you have done a lot to help society and that give you some sort of "weight" that if anyone in Church, doesn't recognize you or your opinion or go against you for that matter, you lambaste all out crying hurt and hypocrisy and you don't even realize you have become the very thing you hate of others of.

Did I just check you out, it's so obvious?

And what you do is not right either. You are causing hatred, resentment and division. All recognized Churches are Institution of God, pending the cults.

We are called to love and pray for one another, even for the difficult and hypocritical Christians, regardless if they are leaders or Pastors, so that there is a good change. Yes it's that difficult and challenging, I know but God wants unity not division. But it must start from loving your enemies, not pushing them away in resentment and hatred.

Unforgiveness begets many evils. You're not really helping. You're choosing the easy way out.

Though you may think you're doing a good cause but you are really causing more problems than helping.

Partly I don't blame you, You don't think that God can change situations and thus resort to Man's way.

Like I said, God's Church must follow suit God's way, not Man's way.

hi bro, i know you dislike such and such.. however please do not bring any of your steam in here smile.gif coming in here and trying to flamebait is just pointless .. unless you get your satisfaction then by means there are other threads to go and chomp on. just not here...

not sure why are you venting it all on here, where there are better places to discuss on the issue between your understanding and our relationship with god. You could start another thread based on your understanding against such and such .

i suspect you have total ignorance problem judging from your comments.

you see a problem in front of you but you choose to ignore...and stay until it get solve by itself...

wah, way to go Mr Doctor Phil...now you can character assasinate me based on my one liners....you think i go help in charities means i want to have a "weight" in church? ya gotta be kidding me...you slanderous man you. Your church taught you to slander people one ah?

i was giving examples of me helping out in charities in both buddhist and christian missions, to reflect that i also believe some christians are doing good in society. I WAS NOT BOASTING...mr Professor...how dare you accuse me of that.

this is why i don't like the typical third type of christians, who think they know it all, they go to the stage and start accusing this people of this and that while they don't understand the whole situation.

you love your enemies does not mean, you stay there and take their shiit. understand...if you feel you are not growing there, what is the point of hanging around? you're wasting yours and their time.

whether you chose to forgive or not, the ego christian will remain an arseehole..that is a fact. For example, i know of a christian guy at work...who gossip something not good about me, one day we were at lunch in the canteen, i raise some work issues, he was dam offended...he attack me verbally...but next day, he came over and apologise, i apologise too...but ya know what, he never change his behavior...he still tai chi and blame my dept for his own dept faults.

some people never change in spite of forgiveness...so for me i just roll my eyes and choose not to associate so much with him. because he still talk like a snob.

don't you think sometime when a man choose his path he could be going god's way too...because that was the path god chose for him? if one believes in god of course.

i give you one example...one of my best friends, a christian...he told me a story of an immature cell group that he once joined...the cg leader was abusive..and paranoid likes to accuse...one day my friend didn't attend a meeting because he had exam..when he came back the cg leader told the members not to talk to him throughout the whole meeting. but my friend wasn't offended by that..what bothered him was that he was more focused on the word but during meeting they were doing other activities. He thought he wasn't growing and the cg just wasn't doing what he felt he was compatible with.

So when he heard from his friend about this new church...a pastor who came from johor...focusing on discipleship and having many forums of discussion about christianity...he decided to join this church. Its been like many years already, he is quite happy there..church even appointed him a deacon.

so what i am saying is this, if the church is not suit to your growth, please leave...don't stay and get your growth retarded like a hobbit..

am i talking about myself? about if the church not right to get out? i am not talking about myself...

i am talking about the christians or non christians who go to church thinking they would be finally release from their pain, only to get further pain...from churches that are lead wrongly...so the thing to do is to leave for another one.

The Christians that you lambaste are like you.

They are equally sensitive when contended or Fought, just like how you're displaying your emotions here.

What's my point? Hurt people beget hurts toward others.

It's like the blind leading the blind.

Both falls into a hole that you don't recognized.

the way to go about it, is not to join them.

so when they realise their recruitment falling...

only then they realise where they went wrong, only then they would insaf and change

if you join them and still suffer their egoness, they just won't change even if you voice out...

that is people nature...

if you sit there and do nothing and pray, you not exercising your faith man.

sometime to counter fire...you need to use some water to flush it out, not fight fire with fire or fight fire by sitting there and wait for god to save you from it...by just sitting down with no action.

that convention center was a waste of money.

that church is based on a satellite church concept why they need to waste resources and volunteers to go to a place where few of their congregations live?

and they only use it for like once in a month?

if you give 10% won't you want the money channeled to help the poor or to build better teaching facilities at your church rather than waste it on a glamourous building.

just like the crystal cathedral church in USA...today they filing for bankruptcy.

same goes with City Harvest..still got people there stay in spite of the obvious fund abuse.

subimpact don't show any genuineness or frankness.

earlier tell me to leave the forum and say i flamebait...but later want to join in the discussion but never do homework..ask me whether i christian or not.

do you ever not bother to explain when your office email incoming 100 emails a day...then you send one email to this work colleague about a matter...later the colleague ask you where is this email...you don't even want to answer this colleague because this colleague is being lazy and want you to do his work.

same goes for subimpact..lah, want to say something funny...not genuinely want to discuss, want to cause trouble. i am wasting my time with that person.

again you jumping to conclusion.

When I talk about meeting half way, it has nothing to do with club membership.

It has to do with you and has to start from you since you are the one aggravating.

If there's a problem, try to solve the problem not be part of the problem and the way to go about it is to look away from yourself and see how you can help others in Church.
And no it has nothing to do with rumor mongering or hate sowing. To me that's really a cowardice way of solving things.

And it's not surprise actually when you complain that people force you out, I can probably understand why, now.
