I’m not “leaving” the Church - it should be something in side - not a building....and until the leaders of the Church stop this path that leads to darkness and misunderstanding...then I’m not going to support that leadership...and has nothing to do with abandoning Christ...I believe Christ went through and cleaned the temple when it was overrun by a bunch of self serving individuals and priests...the same needs to happen now...that’s all I’m saying...
I understand your point.
Let’s imagine that a great wrong were done by an individual priest or a group of individual priests, in violation of God
s law. They do this in The Church that His Son instituted.
Those going against God’s Plan, may be doing this intentionally or not. That is irrelevant. God knows in the end, hell will not prevail against His Church.
But, if we leave His Church, we lose. Why give these men a victory over you? And you are correct, Jesus Christ cleaned out the temple, but still worshiped there as it was His Father’s House.
