How can anyone still believe in God

[AirFlacco]

As far as religions go, it's a personal thing. I'm non-denominational and an independent Christian.
I haven't been a member of a church since 92 . Our church of 2,000 members was split twice and went down to 300 after a pastor lied about his true doctrinal beliefs and tried to change ours. A guy after that came in and built it back up and the next guy came in and slammed a book down in front of the deacons and said this is the way we're doing things from now on and anyone that doesn't like it can leave. We'll still get 800 more. A lot of us left and he never got those 800 members. So much for the book.

I've been going to a fundamental Methodist Church for 5 years in Bel Air and was mad when he slammed the Baptists. He even criticized the Christmas production at the Baptist Church two lights up the road and said we don't have big productions. We worship.

A lot of people get saved from that production. If he sent his people there they might get saved too.

It was funny but I went to Grace Fellowship Church for 5 years where former Baltimore Colt Joe Erhmann of their famous sack pack is on their pastorial staff. That church was always slamming the Baptists in their little dramas they have. What was funny is Grace is a Baptist Church in doctrine. They believe straight down the Baptist line including baptism by emersion and they don't even know it. They used to baptize people in Stan White's swimming pool.

I always laughed at them because all their pastors came from Dallas Theological Seminary and that had Baptist doctrine including the end times positions led by Woolvard and Ryrie. It's moved some over the years away from them.

So the religions are always dissing each other while keeping the divisions amongst them alive. The pastor in the church I grew up didn't diss other religions and he said there will be no gay bashing here but the other religions still do it.

Not sure if I'm staying in that Methodist Church or not. I'll let it slide this time before leveling the pastor with how he's creating dis-harmony from his own pulpit.


But accepting Christ as Lord and Savior is a personal thing and has nothing to do with the church other than that's where you might get saved and grow. It's not the church that saves you. It's God and he uses it to do just that.

It's the religions that screw things up.
