Why You Should Still Follow God Despite Being Offended By The Church by cutecommend(op): 4:03am On Nov 09, 2025
God will give no one any special preference in eternity because he or she was offended by a Pastor, Church e.t.c, and abandoned God.

The model we are to follow is Jesus Christ and what is in the Bible. We are not to idolize any churh or clergy, and if any church, clergy, pastor e.t.c offend you so badly, you may leave such place, you may pray to God for direction on which other branch or church to go. You are not to leave God because a church or pastor offended you; and if any church or clergy is leading you to hell, instantly cut off.

Do not miss heaven because a church, clergy, church elder e.t.c offended you.

No be the church suppose represent God?
Re: Why You Should Still Follow God Despite Being Offended By The Church by MaxInDHouse(m):
The right thing to do if you found out the religion you associate with is fake is to leave but you must find the true religion.

Jesus said by their fruits you will know {Matthew 7:16} this means there are fake churches as well as the only true church therefore whoever leaves a church but couldn't find any better one is indirectly saying there is no God.

So what is the fruit of the only true church?

Even the church God established that is the Levites, them too got corrupted and failed. So now, every wise person knows to go directly to God.

Hehe your following God is it doing God a favour. Christianity is not a cult. There is free will. If u can give any excuse not to follow God and live right then dont

1 kings 18: 24
Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent.

Well said. Blessed be the name of God.
To add to it, people should be wary of human deficiency characters in places of worship. Those that caused reasons why some refused to come to place if worship might do so if it's in another setting like place of work or a social gathering. So the house of God own shouldn't be taken personal. The worst that can happen is to leave such place of worship and find another one. But there's no place that doesn't have their positive and negative side cos humans are prone to errors.

Following any man because he gave himself title such as pastor or daddy GO will be your greatest undoing.

If you read the Bible for yourself, you will realize that most churches on earth are deceptive.

Rejection of church is not rejection of God. God doesn't institute any church. What God demands from is keeping his commandments, but Church began when christians decide to come together for prayers

I don't attend church.. but I worship God. It's not necessarily I must attend church before I can follow God.

There can only be conflict with the one who offended any sensible person. Although, it's almost okay to transfer aggressions if it serves ya purpose, gets you benefits or satiate an emotional need. But, overall , the way I see it
..

It's a silly question if you asked me..


Oh , you never asked 😁😁
Re: Why You Should Still Follow God Despite Being Offended By The Church by descartes400:
But which of the gods? Because I don't consider the bible god as the authentic universal god being or entity....
The bible god is a patent god patently only associated with the bible Israelis... infact a tribal god not different from those in African villages...

So why should I abandon the ways of worship or spirituality to that of the colonisers?

Miss heaven? If God actually wanted us to enjoy his compound with him he would not have kept us here to sin and sin and play the competition of who gets to heaven..
Re: Why You Should Still Follow God Despite Being Offended By The Church by SlavaUkraini:
It is easy for people to leave churches that was never destined to be their place of spiritual growth...

When you are in your predestined spiritual place of worship, you hardly walk away even if a pastor offends you

You're right OP. If your church offended you or no longer working/walking according to scriptures, please walk away, but not from God. Don't forget, God is the primary reason why we go to church, not any man or woman...
