The reason is, well, not important. I have judged and criticize Christians and that was wrong. God would say who are you to judge my people. And I do not want to be part of his wrath.
I will never deny Christ as the only Son of God. I just want to leave the community. Not so I can sin. Sin will always lead to death. I will surrender to Christ everyday. I just want to put it on record so that if someone reads my icon and sees that it's not Christian, they don't complain to the moderators.
I am not saying that Christians are hypercrits, like I have told myself before, which was sin. In fact, I am the hypercrit. God hates it when other people judge his people. There are scriptures that speak against that. So I hope you can forgive me. I will keep my Christian icon for a week, then I am changing it. I know I won't be able to be on this part of the forums. Thank you for all those who gave me advice.
It doesn't seem that your leaving or abandoning your own set of Christian beliefs to me...
It only seems that you get frustrated with Christian organizational groups, (the congregation, "community" of Christians), and what happens when they congregate, there tendency to talk and gossip and discuss more about what "everyone else's" problem(s) is/are in/with life, rather than focusing inwardly, reflecting upon their own selves/lives, and making themselves the project, instead of other people...
Also, probably their tendencies to talk more about small talk, the weather, and for example, their golf game, or some other unimportant thing, or who/what well known persons they run with, sports and recreational activities, in short, almost anything else to avoid about talking about Christ, in their everyday lives, and as it (him/he) applies to their everyday lives,
Truth is, most of the congregation thinks discussions about Christ and the job of ministering falls completely on the pastor and the Sunday service, but afterwards, the talk goes back to almost anything else to avoid talking about Jesus Christ...
I understand your frustrations with the congregations/christian communities brother, in fact, I share it, but don't let that make you abandon your Christianity, but/and please remember and please realize to be forgiving, and patient and kind, realize that we all are "works in progress" and some more so than others. Just because in your eyes you see that most of the christian community/congregation does not seem to be working very hard at it, or even concentrating on it, in their everyday live, do not let that disuade you, please...
You, yourself, by what you've said seem to have a firm foundation, don't give up on it, please, I beg you... True Christians (who make Christ the focus of their entire lives) are very rare, and are scattered about, and rarely ever find each other, truth is most of the people in the congregations (I would say half) are "baby" Christians, and the other half, if their beliefs were truly put to the test, would be found out to not really be believers at all, finding the very rare ones who are mature in their faith, is a rarity indeed, and some of these can't tolerate immature baby Christians, or professed believers whose beliefs fail when under trial, so some of them avoid congregating all together, and isolate, please don't become one of those...
Wishing you the best,
In Jesus name, God Bless!
