Jesus told the Religious Leaders of that Day. You are Flawless, perfected in your own rules, keeping of Man Made , feel good laws. Shiny, glowing, shimmering but inward decaying.
The Pharisee looked at the Publican,and said, you know Lord, I don't dress like they do, go to the places, listen to the things, I pray and pay tithes. And then Jesus said , while that Fat Cat sounded his, her own her, rolled out a personal red carpet. And then He or She , just as easily said it,,, Thank God I'm not like other men of women. ,,,Saved
Publican is trying to pray through and reach God in Sincerity, and meekness. And then Jesus said , "Whom went Home Justified( Saved) " ? This self righteous arrogant, holier than thou is get this,,, actually thanking God He or She is going to Hell. And this was what Jesus fought and opposed and has been in a circular pattern and will continue to be. Anybody know people like that,,, sure you do, . You know more self professing Christians with that attitude than that of the Publican. And that is sad,, it's not Covid that killed Church Attendance, it's the Killer Clowns with their smiles, laughs, and bag of tricks.
But how did Jesus phrase it,,, He said this, " Because they were RIGHTEOUS in their own eyes,, they done what,, despised others. They couldn't stand anybody, they tolerated people to serve their purposes, gains. But they always let a little comment slip, to let you know who are and don't forget it. Ministry teaching , Well in Heaven, I'll be higher, more rewards. We are Heirs and Joint Heirs, God is no Respector of Persons,,, sorry. We are all on equal footing . It's simply Man trying to establish His Own Righteousness
I think, for a generation, we've taught our children to excel at everything. Get to the top of the heap.
I'm 70, so I've seen the generations from the 50's until now. Quite a slide show. I just think we are experiencing the Leviticus 26 curses. "They" announced God was dead. Took reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the Bible out of schools. And you know the rest. Not only our parents allowed it, but we are still doing it: allowing CRT, gay is ok, transgender coaching, etc.
It's not all bad. It means Jesus is returning soon. Let's know prophetic timelines and keep one eye on the news.
I'm sorry that you view the church as you do. I chose in 1986, to grab on to Jesus with both hands. He did a home alone, house salvation, as I was doing a natal horoscope for a friend. I saw a vision of Jesus, then a vision of hell, then a vision of a Hand extended towards me. I TOOK THE HAND. I was a street preacher some months later. It's been awesome for 36 years.
You need to find a smaller Bible teaching church. Ask God to to give you a fresh anointing. Luke 4:18. Jesus preached that to his hometown; people who knew him and his family. The people were not amused. That was His launch. After that The Anointing began his Ministry.
You can't fix every Church. That's really Jesus's area of Ministry. He's interceding for the real Church. The American church has little idea of the Church in other countries. Luke 21, shows us the signs to be looking for, that indicate the Time of Jesus's return to earth.
Does anyone teach what Apostasy is? I had a Pastor that did it. Turned his back on everything and now he's on YouTube teaching that there is NO HELL.
I wish everyone who was bored in a dead church, would hit the streets and one by one, tell people time is running down to zero, sooner than they think. Open the Bible and just let them look at Romans 1. Keep it simple. John 3. Take some Chick Tracts (buy online). Try it. It will revive you.
