I have a few questions that ill put here so I wont have to make thread after thread.
1) What exactly is wrong with ," church hopping"? Why isnt it okay to just visit a couple churches before u settle down on one you like ?
2) Why does the church treat mental and physical health differently. I notice if someone has high blood pressure they dont try to restrain said person with BP and say pray about and if your BP is still up that means you disnt believe hard enough :/ But when it comes to mental illness the church lays hands,anoints, and tries to cast that devil out. Why isnt the same spiritual effort applied to someone with high BP or anyother health related illness. Like it is with mental illness? Why the difference?
3) Superficial friendliness; I'm not knocking this too much because I get the point of this. To make everyone feel included and welcomed..( basically when people greet each other,ask how Are you ect) but its so on the surface for me...like you can tell when someone is genuinely happy and wants to see you.. Like I think this is nice and defintely serves a purpose...but after service ends you can tell it was just pleasantries in that moment in time.
I understand were all human I just wonder why there's no real effort to truly connect and get to know someone....on a deeper level than.. " Oh I'm glad youre here this Sunday" and a half hug.
These are the few questions I have for now
