--- Quote from: Sincere Christian on August 30, 2010, 10:26:34 PM ---Yes, and I prayerfully made an exception, and sought out some churches here near Seattle. God showed me to even stay away from house churches, due to the fact that they treated me far worse than standard churches. Looking back on my life, it is clear, that I have grown much more deeply, when not "in a church" than in one.
Moving back here, plus having a temporary disability, plus being engaged, I believed that it was necessary to form some new friendships here.
Everything followed the same pattern. I carefully spoke to leaders, and at first, they were nice and sweet, and gave me all kinds of promises, etc. Then, over time, once they could see my love for God, and for souls, and the inner peace and relationship with Jesus, they became either very indifferent and avoided me, or in some cases, filled with venom and immense cruelty.
This was a great blow to me, as I love Bellevue, and Seattle so much. The churches I chose were all much better than most, but, in reality, were all the same.
When a Christian is treated vastly better by worldly people, who do not know Jesus, than the "Church", it is so grievous.
More another time, :)

Hi Sincere Christian,
Glad to see that God navigated your way to this Site. I appreciated that last sentence in your above Comments: " When a Christian is treated vastly better by Worldly people who do not know Jesus, than the Church, it is so grievous." Ray explains the distinction between HIS(Jesus) Church-God's Chosen Elect or The Elect of God and THE Church- The believers throughout the Church Denominations of Christendom He instructs us to get out of Her my people if You don't want to share in Her sins, because Her Sins have reached to Heaven, Rev. 18:4,5.
I remember Ray making reference to an Email received by a believer in one of His Audio's, it might be Despising The Word of God Audio where this individual looking for common ground with Ray stated: " You believe that Jesus is the Savior of the World, don't you." Ray's response was: " I believe that Jesus IS the Savior of the World, but you don't." 1 John. 4:14. The point Ray was making in His reply was the guy only believed Jesus would Save a certain percentage of Mankind, that Jesus was either incapable of saving all of Mankind or He didn't want to. However, Jesus was sent or commissioned TO BE the Savior of the World and since Jesus is God, to do less than saving everybody would fall short of why He was sent by God the Father. Jesus saves the world and He's good at completing His purpose and will not fail one person regarding the completion of His task. 1Tim. 4:10; 1Tim. 2:3-6; 2Peter.3:9; Isaiah. 46:10,11; 1John. 4:8; 1Cor. 13:8; Matt. 18:11; John. 1:29.
Just a friendly suggestion, you might want to read or listen to Despising the Word of God and read What Happened to the Church Jesus Built By Ray. They help to explain the difference between HIS(Jesus) Church and THE Church.
Glad you joined, Samson.
