Is it a bad sign that I'm getting tired of church?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I still 100% believe the Bible and love Jesus Christ with all my heart but I just don't feel like being in church anymore. I know the Bible very well and no longer see no need to be here.

[Lionman95]

I think it is though I truly understand you because I have similar feelings. The reason it´s a bad sign to me is that the New Testament is not adressed to single individuals but to the Church as a community. The Church should be the body of Christ on earth.
The biggest problem I have is that church and community should hold your faith and your understanding of the Bible accountable following the idea that humans are stronger together.
I totally understand you though because my Church and many in my area have become very liberal in a way that they started to preach moral sermons that take for granted that people know and understand the Gospel but instead those sermons overcharge or demand too little of people because it´s preaching knowledge and ways of how to live like a disciple.

If this is a Catholic church, you need to be there. It is more than reading scripture or hearing it. For Catholics, church points homeward - to heaven. You go to church as a community to encounter the living God who is present in the tabernacle and who is offered to the community as food for the spiritual journey. This is the sum of why the church exists - to give the follower her loving touch in the depths of the poor sinner's heart and, by so doing, heal them and be made ready to walk in the place where all this divine love comes from - heaven for home.

Disclaimer: I am not religious at all. I don't believe in a god.

Honestly, if there is a god, I feel like your attendance record to church really has no bearing on what he thinks of you. He would know that you are a good person and worthy of whatever he has in store for you regardless of whether or not you have set foot on "holy ground."

Honestly you’re just going through that stage that Christian’s go through I feel like. It’s just that point where you feel like church doesn’t serve you anymore.

As an ex-Catholic, no.

I view the Church's teachings as mixed. I see that they tend to "cherry pick" ideals. I had seen hypocrisy as well.

I've seen Church advise a battered wife to reconcile with her husband because marriage is sacred. I be like dude, the wife has a black-eye.

Churches here teaches us to be simple - but look at their altars. It's like having Titanic's grand staircase.

It’s not a bad sign at all. Faith has no value when it’s untested. My understanding suggests that as long as you maintain a personal relationship with Christ, your spot in Heaven is clinched. Even if that’s not entirely true, i have to imagine there’s truth therein.

[AviatorTom]

A person's relationship with God is personal, anyway you want to maintain that relationship. It doesn't have to be in church. Some people have asked this "We're told that God is everywhere. If that's true, why do we go to church, can't we worship God anywhere?"

I think the social community aspect of a place of deity where you feel at home, can be healing & invigorating. I do not think it is beneficial if you feel alienated… You can not go but you can also try a diff church. 🤔

[Guy13]

Pride, the sin of all Sins…The sin of Satan To Be, God and object to Creator God’s Absolute Truth. First one comes to mind Matthew 7:21-23. 1Cor16:1-2. Hebrews 10:24-26. Acts 2:42-47, 20:7, 28 (Church formed).

[Guy13]

Look into Seminaries if you feel that you are not growing. I will be happy to direct you to Conservative Bible believing seminaries if you care me to do so.

You don't need to go to church to be a Christian (or whatever denomination you are). I don't go either because they focused too much on singing and not enough on lessons. Plus I can read and understand it myself at home.

[Jamie05rhs]

I was about to type, but @VIVANT took the words right out of my mouth.

I think it's totally okay to try other churches!
There's no need for your religious experience to be boring or uncomfortable.

🙌🏼 🙌🏼

[andreasderjuengere]

In my original village the church was a nice place for old people to have a nap on Sunday morning :)

I share your feelings.

It's rather a good sign than a bad one: it means that you are conscious about your belief ''quality''

[Stoner710]

I get it your going singing listening to some guy speak on how they interpret the Bible when we all have our own interpretations plus you gotta get up early

[dustybiker]

Life is a process. Just live. Stop worrying.

[dustybiker]

Loose advice. Not judgement.

[Iron_Man]

You should go to church try a different church. Find some younger people so you can date a good church girl

[Anonymous]

Sometimes you need to have a change in your life. Maybe attend a different Church. Go someplace that you've never been before in your local area. Maybe attend at church that has the Jesus Christ in its name.

[007kingifrit]

no i think adults should outgrow church at some point, and go for a sense of community if at all

[Lalabee]

Keep the faith, don't let anything stop that, I know it's hard but God will guide you through it all if you continue to trust him

[LeftHappy]

No because that's a good reason, Churches are basically telling the same story over n over, never been to one that applied the Bible to current events either!

[Anonymous]

the church is the people not a building lol

and you will learn nothing from those false prophets

[TheFlak38]

I got tired of at 16

[WhiteBoyChill]

You just need to find a different church
