It hasn’t been only your experience. Some of the misinformation and outright disinformation that has been posted about the Church is pretty disheartening, especially when they call themselves Christian. I think the only thing that can cause them to act this way is bitterness against the Church.
Matthew 5:11
Blessed are you when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
remember my friend, we are only on earth to be a witness to the truth ( of course we know Jesus is the way, THE TRUTH and the life ). It is the job of the Holy Spirit to regenerate souls, we are only His instruments.
