Church in retrospect

I found that "main-stream christianity" presented a dead Christ on a cross and commanded me to believe he in him. They talked about him and offered possible meanings for his words, but after a few years, it all became deja vu, really it was just a club for nice, well-meaning people . . . better than nothing, but different to the New Testament.

Does anyone have a similar view?

Didn't the two church threads beat this subject to death last month? You've heard the opinions of most of the people who will respond to this thread title already? Why start it all over again.

And ... no, to your question.

Not really. Perhaps you should do some church shopping to find a place to call home

He must have missed all of those posts and threads on this issue. I didn't see them either.

In the past I found my church to be getting old, and I stopped going completly for a while. But, It was really just because i was struggleing with my relationship with God.

England is a little tough too, I hear a lot of churches have closed and replaced with mosques. Besides that, many refer to England and the surrounding area there as mostly Pagan now.
I don’t know if you are non-denominational or not, but there are two good non-denom Churches in London which are Calvary Chapel:

http://www.calvarylondon.co.uk/CCW/Home.CCW
http://www.calvarychapelsouthlondon.org/
Locations and times are listed on their websites.

No, that has not been my experience. Sorry.
