Not trying to offend anyone but organized religion is a scam its part of the deception

We left the organized church years ago because most modern-day pastors just teach themes, taking bible verses out of their historical context to create a feel good message, and sometimes an inaccurate interpretation. We do our own study led by two pastors we have come to know that teach the scriptures verse by verse in its historical context with scriptural support from old to new testament. The bible really comes alive when it is taught in this way! Also when the New Covenant vs the Old Covenant is understood, the bible makes so much sense. While associations with other believers is important, this can be accomplished in a small group bible study. Churches need, IMO, to refocus their mission to teach the scriptures accurately because this is how a deep abiding faith and appreciation of all Jesus Christ has done is appreciated with profound gratitude. 😇

God saved my life years ago and there was no church or preacher around 🙏 I have had 2 "burning bush" experiences in my life
With no explanation other than God showing me he was there.
