    Demonizing those who switch Churches

    I literally quoted what our pastor said in introducing the Lord's Supper (I have it on tape). I posted it here because I literally don't want to be a "whisperer", this is anonymous, and I need Christians to talk to about this. It is a very serious situation to me. This church is my...

    Demonizing those who switch Churches

    Thank you so much for your encouragement and scriptual references. For 5 years we've been on Genesis (Wednesdays) and Proverbs (Sunday nights) with Sunday mornings being what the pastor calls the "hard preaching" we all need and other pastors are too weak to preach. He is not one to preach...

    Demonizing those who switch Churches

    Yes I feel that way too but I have little choice; there's Catholic, Lutheran, tongue-speaking Charismatics (where my son went) and this Baptist Church. I want to stay in my church but I cannot condone him demonizing people, especially my son. There's more to why my son left but he left...

    Demonizing those who switch Churches

    Last week, in leading us to the Lord’s Supper, my pastor (Baptist) used the opportunity to liken people who leave our Church to Judas Iscariot, and I believe thereby to Satan. He further demonized people who leave us by labeling them as betrayers and equated their betrayal of us with Judas...
