Letters From Leavers

Hi and God Bless everyone. I left the Church because the truth is not being preached. I read and study my bible all the time and when sitting in Church I would hear something being said was from God’s Word that I know was not. My reaction would be where is that in the bible. This went on Sunday after Sunday. I’m the kind of person that takes notes and writes down the scriptures that were said that Sunday and I will go home and look it up. In doing this the Lord has revealed truth to me. All this time I have been deceived and this left me in tears. I had prayed and I told the Lord for Him to teach me and reveal to me the truth for He is truth. Weeks have gone by as I questioned everything I have been taught and in searching the scripture diligently I have found the truth. I did what the Bereans did and search the scriptures. I got myself together with scriptures in hand and talked to the Pastor and asked him why he said such and such when the Word Of God begs to difer. His response was yes what you said is the truth but I preached it this way for such and such reason. I even told him that was not right you cannot add or change the Word of God. Again he gave me an excuse as if it’s ok. I’m sorry our excuses do not excuse us before God. So I left the Church and I refuse to go back to any building. The Word of God says that we are the Church and he does not dwell in any man made temples but in every believer. There are a few of us that has left the Church so we meet together for prayer and in reading of the Word and it has been awesome. Jesus has set us free. We now realize we were like puppets in that Church and that we were in bondage by man. We feel so free like Jesus intended us to be. Like Jacob in the OT. He was a free man, he went to Laban and was put in bondage. I beg anyone who is in this kind of situation to walk in the liberty that you have in Christ. The bible warns us to flee, be aware, and not to have anything to do with such things. Remember Jesus rebuked the religious leaders for teaching the commandments of men. He also told them that they themselves weren’t going to enter into heaven and that they keeping people from entering in as well. To me I think the Pastor make the mistake in thinking that people don’t read the bible for themselves.  People please read your bibles your life depends on it. God Bless You All.
