There's boon a lot of talk this week about Protestantism vs. Catholicism so I thought I would do my best to irritate both sides as you enjoy your Sunday coffee.

First I just want to recap my journey to faith as I think its somewhat relevant.

I grew up in a dead Christian Church (Lutheran if it matters) and even attended the school attached to the Church. If Jesus was a factor in any person's life involved with that Church that would honestly come as a surprise to me with one exception. This was in the 70's and I think one of the teachers may have been a part of the Jesus movement.

The whole thing seemed like an exercise in mere habit and tradition. I was not a believer and in fact was hostile to the whole enterprise. I am high IQ and mildly autistic so I have zero use for fake, hypocritical or the merely social.

When I was 18 I was working in a kitchen and one of my co-workers was a very vocal Christian who began to witness to me. At some point I had an encounter with God and became a believer.

Just one problem time after time and Church after Church I found the Church to be garbage and that's being kind. I know there are people right now firing up their laptops and preparing to say that I just need to attend their Church.

(eye roll) yeah, I've been a believer for forty years and have attended a ton of Churches. I'll just repeat what I have said several times already: I think the Church (all churches) have been defeated, This should not come as a great surprise as Scripture warns us that...

For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Acts 20:29

Also I would remind you that among the letters in Revelation only two of the Churches receive attaboys and five are harshly rebuked so lets not imagine that its ever been easy to have living Churches that were doing it right.

The Church today is anti-White, anti-Male, and frankly more often than not anti-God.

Personally i reject all previous Christian categories for one specific reason: they have all failed spectacularly. I believe as Scripture tells us that Churches can lose their lampstand, Gods blessing and imprimatur.

So when I came to believe I began to read the Bible and I saw the a Church on fire. With problems to be sure, but on fire in a way that is wholly lacking today and when I asked where I could find a Church like what I saw in the Bible I was told that no longer existed. So I call myself a Book Of Acts Christian.

I think we need to come out of the corrupt failed thing today and just gather together in homes.

What say you?
