Frustrated with the Church

I have become increasingly frustrated with the church. By that I do not mean the entire church - the full body of Christ - even though it has serious issues as well. What I do mean is the church I attend. The doctrine that is being taught is something I can agree with less and less. For instance, I do not believe in the tenants of Calvinism. I do not believe them to be scriptural. Particularly the belief that those who come to God are those who were chosen beforehand - predestined to come into God's kingdom; those not chosen are relagated to Hell. I believe that every human being has an opportunity to accept the work of Christ on the cross - His atoning sacrifice - and be "saved" or born again. I don't see in the scripture that He died for some, but that He died for all.

To be continued..................

The greatest enemy of church is when church (the man-made part) gets in the way. The enemy loves to use this to discourage us. I've been there my brother!
