The American mainline churches have been taken over by Satan. Christians need to be OUT of those churches.
Way ahead of you - by 20+ years.
I aspired to be a minister from age five. I have served the church in two so-called denominations.
I started to hear soto voce comments in the 90s:
“There is no [spiritual] discernment in the [institutionalized] church.”
“The true Church is underground.”
They were right. Those of us who sought to exercise Scriptural sanctification (chastity) and discernment (wisdom) in the face of widening and deepe carnality and heresy were ridiculed and ostracized.
The three evils most in play were abortion (euphemized as personal choice), homoeroticism (euphemized as loving gayness), and communism (euphemized as genuine charity). The elevation of women to the ranks of the ordained abetted all three of these corruptions.
If you call them on any of it, you are accused of being unloving, legalistic and judgemental, and - my favorite - of wanting a perfect church.
I admit I was worn out from being the one voice among 300 calling for a Biblical perspective on critical congregational dictates and actions.
