Choosing group faith over personal faith?!
Many now know that their church faith (with trinity or biunity godhead or sec with a god) with associated church days/festivals is neither biblical nor Christian and therefore incorrect. Yet they do not leave their church and do not give up that false belief. What inspires them and what are the possibilities for improvement?
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the path, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
Many see that the wide church road to the wide church gate is incorrect. Not directly because of the wrong doctrine of religion, the idolatrous grafted church days or the introspective church fruit often full of pedophilia, abuse of power and association with other idolatry, but simply because of feeling like a number, becoming superficial because of it and because of the imperceptibility of how God works. Many then flee to smaller church congregations or church growth groups or form an extra-church group themselves. However, they generally continue with the church idolatry from Babylon with ditto church days and associated rites. That chosen narrower church path is therefore not the narrow personal path leading to salvation! And the church crowd that doesn't notice anything will stay anyway, because when they give up the church they are both afraid that there is nothing else and when they admit that the church faith was not correct for the fate of their deceased ancestors...
You immediately end up on a narrow, personal path to choose from, because after all it is about your personal faith and that it is correct and leads to salvation. So your personal choice and not that of others and not for others!
Yet if the belief of the individual is incorrect, that of a group of those individuals is also incorrect. So bigger-greatest aspiration is certainly not decisive in terms of faith. You could say, the larger the group, the bigger the mess. Especially if you take group principles, group aspirations and group authority into account. Leading to lemming behavior...
No wonder that the church path is becoming wider, hand in hand with other idolatries, for example via the United Religions Initiative (URI/URO), but also in other ways that are already ingrained in the churches themselves via meditation (RK Taize), gnosis (Freemasonry churches ) and (self-)spirituality (Pentecostal churches) without the necessary faith and without laying that faith as well, which results in massive demonic contamination!
How do you get off that broad church road and how do you find that narrow path to salvation?!
Not by looking for a smaller church, not by joining a church growth group and not by starting your own group outside the church. Faith starts with you personally and whether it is biblical and thus correct. If you continue with the pagan church faith, this will always lead to great idolatry, which will lead to great misery.
In terms of faith, you will have to step out of that church faith to personally choose a biblical faith and everything that follows from it. So also for biblical days, biblical rites for Christians leading to truly Christian actions, walks & fruit. Churches therefore do not have any place, value or role in this. You need courage and, above all, faith and prayer!! To ultimately leave the church and cancel your membership by registered letter.
Anyone who dares to take that step of faith does not look back at the pleasant group, the dead or living (!) ancestors or other family members, because he/she has his or her eyes focused on what leads to eternal life in terms of faith, what leads to living and good fruit and is truly Christian. That is what your soul longs for and not for "lemming behavior leading to eternal suicide with group approval".
Yes; that means you have to start reading, learning and changing again. Fortunately, this becomes easier if your faith comes to life and if you have every opportunity to do so yourself. Then you want to read about, for example:
• which faith is unto eternal life
• how to pray with that faith;
• how you come/explain that belief;
• which days belong to that faith;
• what is biblical and what is not;
• how church dogmatics are wrong;
• and so forth.
You change your behavior, ways and faith and thus walk along that narrow path to the narrow gate to eternal life. That feels very clean, nice, happy and intense, although saying goodbye to church and church family will not feel pleasant at first, but that will soon wear off.
What is more important than that new narrow path is that you no longer let anyone pull you back onto that wide church path. Not by or for family, not for money or large projects and not through threats or blackmail.
God calls everyone out of church Babylon, including you!
