But it makes sense b/c so many "churches" today are just buildings to house the spiritual illiterate according to God's standard. We left our church b/c of an unresolved issue---seems the pastor was more concerned with band-aids than actually disinfecting the wound. But it's almost inevitable with the church today, as they get more and more dependent on memberships and tithes to feed them, they will concern themselves with popular messages that won't confront or drive their dollars away. Since we broke from them, we now tithe to various missionaries, groups or people in impoverished areas, or those on the actual front lines truly sacrificing themselves for the Great Commission, and it feels awesome. The "church" is no more than a body of believers who believe and act this way, and I believe that God is calling true Christians to live this way. It's going to be interesting how God brings these people together, as they DO EXIST among our churches today---they are just getting fewer and further between. Godspeed to us all! it’s weird to think that the holy spirit could call someone AWAY from their “church.” But it makes sense b/c so many “churches” today are just buildings to house the spiritual illiterate according to God’s standard.

The evangelical churches do not teach the "meat" of the Word or anything about prophecy, and the Emerging Church is becoming more evident. The pentecostals are all about hoopla and sexual sin in the pulpit is common. God help us!

In these particular times, the Lord does appear to be separating the wheat from the tares. The Holy Spirit is calling the true Church, the born-again believers, away from their attachments to this world and away from these false messages, in some cases because of persecution, or in most cases, because of the grief this world should be causing. While a leader hasn't appeared at this point, when the Hebrews were called out of Egypt, God did raise up Moses to lead them. Perhaps there will be a leader or leaders to help the flock when the going gets tougher. I also believe that the separation between the apostate church and true Church will become even clearer when some "Christians" join the world in persecuting Bible-believing Christians. We are not far from that time. I also believe we are at that point. In these particular times, the Lord does appear to be separating the wheat from the tares.

I do think that churches need to interpret the Bible as a literal Book. Today many churches take heed of the teachings of St. Augustine who was a heretic. I do believe that's why some Christians do not take heed to God's Word because they were taught that the Book is allegorical, spiritual you name it. So when they have been taught this nonsense they start having doubts about God's Word. I do know that the Bible does contain some metaphorical statements but these statements gives a literal meaning. It is amazing how Satan can use false teachings from the past today to deceive people. I agree. I do think that churches need to interpret the Bible as a literal Book.

I was really saying that I think we need a restoration movement that will bring the coming together of all true believers in these end times based on absolutes truths taught in the Bible. Persecution of true believers helps achieve that. I Agree, I was not implying there would be a revival in the world or in what some call Christianity or not even in the majority of churches.

There are too many people in churches today that will not leave their sinful lifestyles. I do see many people getting saved during the tribulation.
