Rowan. That's true. It's extra lonely when you're around lost people who talk about worldly things and have no love of the truth

About a year ago, my mother in law told me I needed to see the movie, the Shack and I knew a little about it but I started to get extremely uncomfortable around her and told her I don't want to watch it and she continued to try to justify it and I kept backing away and trying to leave and when I did leave .. I came home and researched about the book and movie and was sick to my stomach. I'm glad we will be discussing this matter as a church
I found some real wicked concepts and doctrines this movie/book tries to promote. It's blasphemy !!!

I'm a friendly person and try to live peaceably with all men as much as possible but outside of the church, I have no friends. And it can be lonely but I'm also thankful that I'm not calling those who hate God, friends. And I'm thankful God has led me to the church and that God opens my eyes to those who try to say that I'm their friend and God helps me to address to them that unless they have been given repentance (i.e godly sorrow) toward God then I'm not in friendship with them. Maybe I'm harsh for this but I can't stand the leaven and the unrepentant trying to Ride the coat tails of the repentant to heaven is sickening and its leading them to believe they are of Christ which is uncharitable

I hope with you that your Children have their eyes opened and that they repent toward God.
My husband is easier to be around but not because he has changed but because I have more confidence in God's word. Thank you for asking

Kevin your testimony was a breath of fresh air for me. I never had to question if God gave you repentance because it was very evident. Sorry it took me so long to read your testimony but I really enjoyed reading it. I kept thinking as I was reading your well put testimony, that it was like reading a good book. I couldn't stop reading. I am so sad how everything went down with your ex wife and having your children taken from you. Are your children still estranged from you?
Im glad you shared this

I know this is an old post but I didn't know where to ask you this question.
My husband and I are considering moving to Tennessee and he was wanting to know your gun laws in that state or a good place online to help us better know the gun laws.

Hello Anna
I agree with Ellie... I enjoyed reading this post. I noticed your humility and it's refreshing to see this. Im glad you found this website and that it has helped you as it has helped me as well. I found this website about a year ago. I relate a lot to your story. I craved A relationship with God and believed if someone said they was Christian then they was and I went to a Pentecostal church for 15 years or so. Im thankful to the Lord for bringing me out of that and leading me here to meet other born again Christians.
But most importantly I'm thankful for Jesus making a way for us by his shed blood. And that he gave me repentance and forgiveness. I do not deserve his grace.
Can't wait to hear more from you Anna

Adding to that ... I am not sure if all those that departed around the same time as Madonna are lost. It's possible that some are saved but may just be deceived? I don't know.

General Discussion / Re: Exposing a Woman Named 'Madonna'
« on: December 21, 2021, 11:23:35 PM »
I joined the church around the time of the Madonna Madness. As I would join in on the church chats and the Ladies chat, I started realizing right off the bat that her speech was odd. Like the things she would say just sounded off.
John 10:5
“And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”
I did not say anything because I thought that since Madonna had been here for a while and I was new, that I probably was just being uncharitable in my thoughts and wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. This way of thinking continued on while Madonna would share things with me and she would send me videos of other "Christian" people and video links to doctrine of the book of Revelation. I didn't watch much of these things. Something seemed underhanded about it but I didn't realize fully in that moment. Her demeanor on the chats were frivolous and feigned charity but was full of uncharitable acts. I remember she would suggest homeopathic medicines but would shove a roll in her face and eat while she talked.. It just conflicted me a bit. But i just ..yet again, let it roll.
Also Dee would talk with me from time to time. She helped me one time pay for my minutes on my phone. Don't be fooled... She did a nice gesture but I see now that it was all works based doctrinal believing. Im thankful for that help but I realized later on she was trying to get me to see Chris in a bad light. One night we had a prayer chat and I came into the prayer chat a little late and had not realized the church was in the middle of praying and i spoke and interrupted the prayer and Chris informed me that they was in the middle of praying. I felt bad for interrupting but didn't worry about it. Dee later talks to me and tells me that Chris is mean like that a lot. I then told her that it is no big deal. Then she noticed I wasn't going to gossip and dropped the matter.
Fast forward to the meet up that I was not able to attend but desperately wanted to but then was informed it was good that I wasn't there because it didn't go well.
I think I may be able to shed some light on why these women did not stay close by during this church meet up. For one.. They are not the body of Christ. Number 2.. They did not like Chris and still do not. They believe Chris to be mean and they do not like being corrected or rebuked. So they wanted to stay far away to not hear correction but close enough to make themselves think they are of the body of believers and they don't have a love of the truth.
Now I'm not saying that Chris doesn't make mistakes.. He plainly says this multiple times that be messes up. But they take his correction as him being mean. He may show frustration when dealing with different types of situations... But if you spent years dealing with trying to expose the false doctrines, hours upon hours of studying and to have some willy nilly power hungry woman come in and try to steal sheep and speak all sorts of corrupt things that sound nice but are total lies.... It's frustrating and probably a sure way to anger someone. What false converts can't seem to grasp bevause of their pride, is that the correction Is Love for them. Madonna couldn't see this love. Madonna is literally doing the devil's bidding and she sadly may not see this. Because her underhanded and secret deception to pull away ppl from the truth and the body of believers, is a give away of who she truly serves.
John 8:41-47
King James Version
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Madonna is the stony soil and the seeds of God's word has fallen on the stones.
Matthew 13:20-21
King James Version
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
I'm thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for making a way for me to be born into the family of God and giving me Grace and forgiveness and having the Holy Spirit and The Word so that I can see these lies more and more each time these type of people come my way..
Madonna tried to contact me one on one after she was no longer a part of the church and I just knew it was wrong for her to do that and I blocked her. I regret not saying something to her but that may just be me being a coward at this early stage of being a Christian. Im not fully sure. I just wanted to cut off contact with her and anyone connected to the drama but was willing to hear if they were repentant. But none have repented for their actions.
I still do not understand fully why they can't see that but I will continue to pray for them all. And for the church as well to follow the Word of God.
John 10:5

He seems to have the philosophy of .. "The gun kills people" "The spoon made me fat"
And forgetting that it's the hearts of men that are wicked. Not the inadament object.
It also seems like He is trying to say that you shouldn't use YouTube but posing it as a question when really he is trying to accuse you of doing something wrong.
As I was reading his statement about people being guilty for using youtube and helping them make more money, I thought.. The teachings that you have on there are the truth and it should be there for people to hear.. It's how I found the church. He reminds me of the religious leaders accusing Jesus of breaking the law when he healed on the Sabbath or when the disciples picked corn on the Sabbath.
Isaiah 5:20
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
This guy is still under bondage for sure

Hey Sam
I just have been reading through all the comments and your testimony and it is a breath of fresh air. I cannot wait to hear more about you and what The Lord has shown you in his word.
All the scriptures you shared were spot on and I found your speech to be edifying and full of truth. Im so happy you're here. It is hard to find Christians. (True Christians)
The repentance teaching that Chris mentioned was the teaching I was listening to the night God saved me by giving me repentance ...I will never forget that night.

Quote From Pilgrim MikeIf you don't mind, please pray for me especially around this time of year. My family hates it when I tell my kids that santa claus isn't real and he's just a product of catholic superstition just like the Easter bunny ect. If people want to celebrate that stuff that's their choice but I know in my heart that God is not honored when people think/say that things like that are of Christ
I will Pray for you to have the courage to stand up for whats right with your family and that God would give you what you need

"Why millions of believers on Jesus are going to hell?" teaching is one of my favorites as well, but my most favorite one is the teaching called "is repentance a part of salvation?" This is the teaching I was listening to when I heard the truth for the first time. I thought I was saved from the age of 13 up to 34 years old but found out I was lost and then I was listening to this teaching, God opened my understanding to hear this message and I broke down like i never had before. I cried uncontrollably for my wicked heart and I knew I had broken Gods heart and I remember I did not want that pain to stop and it was the greatest gift I could have ever received. I will always always remember that day. I do not remember the exact time or day of the week but it was in August 2020 in the night time while everyone was asleep in my home and I was never the same from then on.
Some of my favorite verses are
Matthew 7:18
King James Version
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
The reason I like this is because so many people in the world (church goers especially) try to justify their wicked traditions that are rooted in paganism and witchcraft and this one shows the depth of the wickedness of the those traditions they so desire to have and try to re label it for Christ but Christ is telling us that if the tree is corrupt that it will not bring forth good fruit.
James 4:6
King James Version
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
So many ppl walk around thinking they automatically have the grace of God but they are full of corruption and unrepentance and this scripture shows me that they will not receive his grace until they repent of their wickedness against him.
Psalm 51:17
King James Version
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
God is looking to the man with a broken spirit that is crushed because of their sins against him and they are broken because they in humility realize their wretchedness and hate their flesh. So many "churches" teach the false message that you push away that shame and humility. I am thankful to God for opening my eyes and continues to show me more and more of His word they way He would want me to see it.

Hey Mike
You don't have to know the exact date but I was asking to see about when you may have been given repentance. Im glad the Lord led you out of "church" buildings. They're full of corruption and the majority of them are goats who think they're sheep. I am glad you have made your way here to CLE. Can't wait to here more from you.
Is there any teachings that you listened to and it edified you?
Also is there any Bible Verses you find encouraging or helpful?
