The priest was giving a sermon condemning the atrocities by Russia in Ukraine. I wanted to shout that he's a liar — but there's a time and a place for everything. Knowing that the worshippers were being misled and deceived was no surprise intellectually, but I so rarely go inside any ecclesiastical building (childhood allergy hasn't receded) that it really hit me to experience it.

When you have the urge to go into these places, think ritualistic legalism. Think cover-up. Think evil. This is a religion that stands on “religion”, not God. I attend a small church and our pastor preaches from the Bible. We have a direct line to God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit within us, so we don’t confess to anyone but God. No man is above God. There is no “middle man” between us and God. [They] want you to believe that. We also don’t call our pastor “father”. He is not our father.

satans temples are the sheep pen. Jesus called out the temple and the state for corruption 2000 years ago, nothing has changed.

Always trust in God--not in the man "preaching" his interpretation of God.

At Bible study last week, the "leader" made a comment about CNN being untrustworthy... I said, Yes, like who knows exactly whether Putin is a good guy or a bad guy. She immediately said, That's politics, we dont talk about that here... SHEESH!

I hear you I felt the same way when Trump won the 2020 election, the Christian leaders of mega churches were telling people how to get over it and that it was time to MoveOn 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Made me really re- think of leadership in churches in general . 😉🤔

I love Jesus, I know GOD wins.... I'll share his love with anyone who will receive - but yes... Finding those that preach and teach truth and love and JESUS CHRIST - who he really is is.. Exhausting.
Then dealing with the confused sheep - ........ sad.

My sermon today was good though.
I was asking God for direction and I got some clear direction from the book that's my middle name... in the BIBLE. One of the "she's" in the bible ;0).

It's about relationship with THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE...Jesus Chirst, not about religion of men! Stay pressed into the Lord... you don't go to church to see the pastor... you go to church to glorify the Lord! It's His house!

we DO need fellowship........... we need to ask GOD for that too.

In response Sandy Ziegler to her Publication

ive never felt comfortable in a church. i was raised in a Southern Baptist Church. I have my own relationship with God. I talk to him and hes the best listener. i dont need a fancy church to have a relationship with him. Alot of people go only for there image and political status. God knows my heart.

My encounters with Jesus and my love for Jesus has come through the catholic church. I know there is so much wrong in the church but have a hard time believing that everything is wrong. Of late my thoughts have been on the preachings ... are they preaching some amount of socialism. Am not sure but I will wait for more revelations to my heart.

Sadly, have been in churches like that. Some really bad ones out there (will have to write a book someday, lol). But when you find the really good ones, the ones who really know God and understand the times, it's refreshing and beautiful. Praying Jesus leads you to those and that you can report back to us!❤️🙏The Great Awakening and Revival will rock the churches to the core, until all that is left is what should've been in the first place: Jesus as the chief Cornerstone. I think He's in the middle of cleaning "house"... 💥

I understand my dad is a pastor who just preaches from the heart, atypical compared to most others, I try to speak with him but not much luck with Ukraine just yet, I don't go to churches anymore, but where there are two or more gathered, church begins within you.

I experience this every Sunday w/ my husband & children (he's a Catholic, somewhat awake). He's open to all number of "conspiracy theories" but the fall of yhe church is going to hurt his soul.
Sitting through mass is excruciating for me.

Been at this cathedral many times. My 8th Great-grandfather was one of Scots captured at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650 and imprisoned within these walls later to be sent to the colonies in America. Boston to be exact then onto Maine. Memorial stone inside this cathedral for the Scottish Prisoners. They suffered here. Many died.

very sad. its a turn off. the moments of bliss that accompany the wonders you hear or see in mass and can be overshadowed so easily with a drop of propaganda. poison in the well. so many still asleep. the saying “men are easily corruptible” comes to mind.
