[@Stevenowski]

Greg, if you are indeed a Christian, go back to church. They have room for one more hypocrite. I say this in the most loving way. Medicine doesn't always taste good, and you may not like my response. However, the Bible is clear. Be encouraged by the following. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Christ or Judgment (Hebrews 10:23-25, NASB) The same verb is used about Jesus in 3:1. The invitation must be responded to individually, but the response also has a corporate side. They're members of a community of Hebrews whose initial attraction to Christ is in danger of eroding. They have been considering a return to the Levitical system of Judaism to avoid the persecution. Mutual encouragement to make full commitment is crucial. stir up. The English word “paroxysm” is derived from the Greek term used here. The meaning in this context is that of stimulating or inciting someone to do something. Collective and corporate worship is a vital part of spiritual life. The warning here is against apostasy in an eschatological context (cf. 2 Thess. 2:1). The reference is to the approaching “day” (the second coming of Christ. Encouraging takes the form of comfort, warning, or strengthening. There is an eschatological urgency to the encouraging that requires an increased activity as the coming of Christ approaches. The next two verses should really get your attention. 26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. (Hebrews 10:26-27, NASB) Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17, NASB) The benefits of intellectual and theological discussion encourage joy through a keener mind and the improvement of good character, which the face will reveal. 5 Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy. (Proverbs 27:5-6, NASB) I hope you receive this well and that you will rethink your position. May God bless you🙏🇮🇱 Edit: for spelling.

[@RobinPM86]

Don't worry about the hypocrites that attend, or even lead, churches. God will deal with them. As you said, God calls us to an individual relationship with Him, and He calls us to meet with and encourage our fellow believers. I hope you'll find the right church family for you.

It might make sense for a ditched or ignored woman to break mentally and go rouge to confront the man who lied to her and fathered her child and to bring the child with them to confront the father, I suppose it also could've been some other man in the congregation that was the target of her rage and terrible attempt at insane revenge.

With the kind of money he brings in a year for his televised service, he doesn't need to be calling the police to protect him. Since he doesn't believe in helping his community, he should at least spend his money on getting the best security equipment and hire professional security guards/body guards to make sure his attendees and staff have the protection they need in incidents such as this one and to be able to prevent them from happening again. He didn't seem to be the least bit remorseful about the victims and their families when he gave his speech afterwards to the press and saying that his thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families. He just had a 💩 eating evil grin on his face.
