They should have been loved, but were rejected, judged and shamed, but isn’t that why Jesus died, so that we wouldn’t have to have it all together before coming to Him and making friends with His other children?

A lot of churches don’t realize how much their actions effect people but if the head members of the church would reach out more and be better examples of love to members and new comers that would make a great differance.
This video is proof as one of my greatest pains as a CHristian…that the “church” has completely failed in its responsibilities that were outlined in Scripture. If there is anywhere that someone should feel accepted, loved, and wanted, it should be by those that call themselves followers of Jesus. Christian means Christ-like so we need to remember that Jesus didn’t spend the bulk of his ministry preaching and teaching to those in the “lofty” places…..HE WENT TO THE BOTTOM FIRST….if I want to strive to be like Him, who am I to think that anyone is beneath me? One of my favorite verses is ” He who is without sin, cast the first stone.” If all true believers within the church walls were to live by this, there wouldn’t be enough acreage to build enough churches….we need to stop blaming the breakdown of this world on the world itself and realize that the major reason for the chaos is the unwillingness of Christians to act like Christians….
Any Christian who undergoes hardship thanks to the church, or from being separated from it, is in good company. Not even King David, who often led the worship in Israel, always had a “church”:
Psalm 42:4
These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I _used_ to go with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving
among the festive throng.
…but David knew he could have hope in God:
Psalm 42:14
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
