Many churches should merge, sometimes you’ll see like 3 on a street.
in SC you have sometimes 7 on one street and none of the members or churches ever fellow shipped in the whole 40 years they all been around.pastors dont even know the other pastors cross the street in the same hood.:martin:

Truth, it'll be 3 churches of the same denomination on one block. That's part of the reason many of them are closing. You have so many small churches of the same denomination or non denominational, occupying the same city spaces and on top of that they have to compete with the megachurches who gobble up the youth who are the lifeblood that would've went to the smaller churches.

Lot of Young people are now going to these hipster non denomination no judgement zone churches.

I noticed in affluent non black areas you only see one religious institution for the entire neighborhood lol, usually no more than 2 or 3 and if thats when they are different religions or denominations. Black areas will have 4 Baptist churche and 3 AME all in one square mile.

Yup... and that’s sad to... a lot, but not all mega churches preach a prosperity type gospel exclusively, and deliver messages/sermons that caters to the ego of its female base..... a lotta spiritual malnourishment been taking place over the last 20 years

What version? that’s the KJV

most churches can’t even preach the true word of the The Most High as they then become tied into the 501c, gov controlled and most are pushing a watered down false love doctrine and not the truth.

State Controlled Churches: The 501c3 Deception

the government doesn’t want people knowing the true word of Yahawah, hence why they allow it. hence why they also infiltrate Hebrew Israelite camps (IUIC) to paint the israelites in a bad light to push people away from the most high, not bring them to the most high.

Women are the lifeblood of the church too. It's been that way since before the prosperity preachers. So if some preachers catered to them, it's always been because women did the most work in the church. Maybe I'm wrong. But it always seemed that way..thats not to say the men and the Elders weren't on their purpose and weren't the head, but it always seemed like women were the backbone and were always the most "on fire" and fervent so to speak.

please don't comment on black churches. I am pissed that you white people sell your old run down churches in what used to be be white neighborhoods for a premium to these folks who you know can't afford the rent.

:picard:

I didn't know COGIC went that hard.
Been getting money just as long as the Alphas. Y'all have to consider all these organizations that were set up around the same time that continue to get money and flourish without question in our community. COGIC basically wrote the blueprint for folks to get that storefront money. Fraternities, Black Protestantism, and the NAACP all started around the same time and are things that we sink our money into without seeing much of a return. When is the last time you saw a COGIC hospital or a library funded by the Alphas? The NAACP is supposed to be representing our legal interests but when is the last time helped anyone besides politicians? /endrant

They know each other, they just treat church life like gang life. Back in the day people would legit get mad if you went witnessing on someone elses block. I don't want to liken it to pimping but if you could turn another persons members you had the juice

For that Bible quote, Paul was talking in Athens about why they need to stop worshipping the Temples at Delphi, etc. saying you don't need the extra shyt when God is all around us. It's not a dig at churches; it simply states that God is everywhere and not just dependent on being in places that man built.
