I suppose having grown up in the South in a small community church of about 75 souls I just do not understand why people feel a need to stay with a church who is so wrong. It would never cross my mind to do so. I guess if you are used to hiearchy ruling you are just more incapable of knowing and making a decision to run away when it is obvious the teaching in anti-Biblicial. Maybe these people never read the Bible and depend on someone on high to tell them what it say. Open up the Good Book and READ!!!!!!!!!!!!Then make up your mind where to go and to whom to give your tithes.
Maybe you need to read your Bible, hierarchy is in there. And maybe you also need to read some church history. Heresy comes and goes but the Church survives.
Oh and I am also in the South, and I DO READ THE BIBLE DAILY and often wonder about those Baptist Churches on every cvorner. 1st Baptist, 2nd Baptist west side Baptist, they split over something. Tidy your own house before you look into others.
