How modern day Christians subvert and manipulate the Bible's teachings to their own wants and needs

I've read the Bible many times, I read up on the Berean, watch videos, and use talk/poal to get additional content on top of Strong's concordance when I need to. What I have come to notice is that the Bible can clearly say one thing, very clearly, with zero room for interpretation, and people will twist the message completely into something its not.

The Bible is very clear on faggots. What makes it interesting is that the Bible mentions what happens when you accept faggots, queers, etc into your society (Romans and Leviticus), it shows how your customs will change, your society will become corrupted, etc. In response, most Christians I've talked to are utterly baffled how things have gotten so bad ... as if there's no connection between churches accepting IRS bribe money, allowing corruption in the ranks, ignoring problems, caving for church attendance numbers would cause people to reject modern Christianity.

And this brings us to a much bigger issue with the modern Church: for the most part it doesn't solve anything. If you factor in the NGOs and the Church's suicidal live and let live attitude, it actually created the modern day problems it pretends to solve. The church pastor was talking about some grandmother who was threatened at gun point, and how she was so brave for not shooting back, etc and turning the guy in after a long talk. Barring the fact the story sounds like complete and utter bullshit, the only reason this could work in real life is because the perp in question was white. Had it been a nigger or mexishit, she would have died and been shot on the spot.

The latest IRS swindle has been the obey all authority schtick being preached by pastors. It's almost like these people are in lock step, I can go to a completely random church and within minutes, I will already know everything the pastor will talk about, down to the similarities of the stories and excerpts. Lately they have been lock step on the obey all authority, take the vaccine, yaddi yadda. God expects some modicum of standards, and ethics, or something. Blind tolerance to every deviant asshole is not a Christian virtue and never will be.

If I can go to a completely random church and recite from memory from ANOTHER church what you're going to say, there's a big problem

Yeah, it's why I haven't set even a toe inside a "church" in years.

It's kinda weird since "churches" in the areas I used to live in operated more as split off mini militias than actual church groups (there's a lot of those where I used to live). They had their own structures, Bible studies, etc, being hosted in homes, completely detached from any singular church. They even said it all the time, the church is its people, not the building.

I miss those days, instead I've been subjected to the biggest rape of my brain about what Christianity is by idiot pastors who can't tell me the difference between a finish nail and a drywall screw.

That works both ways. You're right that the Bible condemns faggotry, but it also tells you not to resist evil (Sermon on the Mount). Christians of all stripes want to pick and choose what to believe based on their own personal ideology.

All Christianity is fake. Who cares?

They've adopted the fake new age religion that denies self defence. It's that 1960's peace and love crap that is suicidally narcissistic because it doesn't allow that others hate you for no reason and want you dead. On top of that they absorbed psychology and power of positive thinking bullshit. The guy who wrote that book said he was creating psychiatric Christianity.

They turned Christianity into a cult by standing in between every church goer and God by saying "Me. I'll tell you what God says to you. You don't listen to God, you listen to me"

Very few Americans went to church until the latter half of the 1800's. They had bibles at home. The US is a Protestant nation and Protestantism was created because people were sick of the church getting between them and God. Luther preached, but he didn't think Protestants needed preachers, they needed to read it themselves. If not for them, we'd still be illiterate peasants. Protestants built schools and said all kids must read 500 years ago.

The fucking Rockefeller school crap took out Latin, rhetoric and hermaneutics and said everyone was illiterate before the rockefeller public schools came along. Bullshit.

They didn't want people knowing latin because it's used oin 47 languages and non latin speakers are more inclined to resort to mere word association instead of the real deeper meanings. It's why simpletons can chant diversity is our strength without knowing what diversity means.

Rhetoric taught ordered thinking so out it went.

Hermaneutics taught critical understanding so out it went.

Churches are people who want to get out of the house and are looking for community, but it's just a replay of media mouthed robots. I think bible study or bible inquiry groups would be better

The easiest way to disprove the current day logic is to simply point to the emotional state of Man. Why would God allow for Man to be angry, if being angry is a sin? The logic falls flat on its face, but most Christian denominations simply refuse to make the connection

You will know them by the fruit.

Most modern churches are the synagogue of satan and nothing more.

Street preaching needs to become a thing again. Also removes the 501c censorship done by the IRS.

Maybe you should be training people to be street preachers?

That is why sola scriptura does not work.
