Reasons Why People Don't Go To Church

First define church. Define religion.

Where is the church who disciples Christiabs? If I am healing from a hurtful situation in my life, why can't I serve in a church? If I can't serve, shouldn't I be discipled and healed back to where God wants me to be? At times, I feel like I am paying for the person, who abandoned me, mistakes? I love Jesus with all my heart, soul and mind and I will continue to look for a church to belong to.

To add to the list: Tithing is UN-scriptual for the New Testament believer, HELL is a Christian HOAX, and in the book of Revealation Jesus tells us to come out of her lest we recieve her plagues..

"I'm not sad. I am perfectly content in my relationship with the Lord outside of the church." Celeste, since the church is the people how can one have a relationship with Christ outside of the church? Christ came to build His church. The church is His bride. He died for His church. He loves His church. He is coming back for His church. It stands to reason that since Christ came to save sinners, that people don't always know how to behave in a "church building" that does not invalidate the church. www.riovistachurchofchrist.com

I can only speak for myself and here's why I don't have "a" church. #1. issue, the gospel first received will NEVER be preached in ANY church, they'd go broke overnight, and besides, Satan wouldn't like it. #2. Witchcraft. I've never been in a church that wasn't brimming with witchcraft. #3. They are all Spiritless, except for the demons. #5. A "church" which one builds and then invites everyone into is the OPPOSITE of the Great Commission, and opposite of Christ = Antichrist, right? #6. Yeshua says, primarily in Matt 24, that it's the members of these "churches" who are going to murder those like me. #7. They meet on Sunday, the mark of the Roman Whore's authority, and they have ALL fornicated with her! It's actually ON FILM! Shalom?

It's not about religion BUT RELATIONSHIP TO GOD.

Some Chriatian may not give us the warm welcome into a church. But I do know of one person that will welcome us with open arms... And his name is Jesus Christ. The one who never fails us, the one who gives us love All the time. He is our best friend, Our father, and our Teacher. So when next time we enter a church where they make us feel unwanted. Let us remember that before we leave that church. LOOK behind you.Because Jesus is saying 2 us you are welcome in my Home have a seat and listen to my words speak to your heart. GOD BLESS YOUS ALL.

I went to a church for a number of years and never made any real friends there. I was poor, and even though I never asked anyone for any favors or anything, no one wanted anything to do with me, and I was a divorced mother and they treated my kids unfairly because I didn't have a husband there to defend them. After awhile they began to resent my being there. I think my being there made them feel guilt and instead of taking responsibility for their own feelings they came up with excuses and put downs to justify their behavior towards me. I've tried other churches, and no one will speak to me. They turn their noses up at me. Why would I go to a church when they treat me like that?
