So that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Corinthians 12:25-26
Does it not baffle you how the church system has so bastardised Christianity?
I am a "complete believer " who is actually against the "Church system" of today. Am not against the church of God but the religious spirit and systems of this world, it was this same religious system that killed Jesus, a system for the eyes, emotions and not the heart.
Nigeria is such a religiously conscious Nation, we allow religion affect and influence our polity, national life, educational policies, relationships and even our love for fellow mankind.
Let me say this to you, you are serving and professing a different Jesus if your Jesus supports ignorance and gross stupidity.
I grew up to hear my grandma tell me stories of various types of Jesus's that sprung up in the wake of the 21st century, one of the prominent ones in my locality was one Jesus of Ikot Ekpene(Ikot Ekpene is an old town in Akwa Ibom State, Southern Nigeria), he lived and died very briefly saying he was the "Christ".
So many people have become idiots all in the name of religion, my dear, a Professor is a wise, intelligent, empirical and objective person until he trots into a religious building manned by a man who is drunk and overfed with the drink / food of ignorance and stupidity. It's there he can be used and manipulated like an idiot which religion now makes of him.
What else can make anyone tell you what isn't true by God's word and you believe just so you please your spiritual father? What else if not stupidity?
I got tired of the church system a long time ago when I realised the church had become a hoax of some sort, a place where you can share the communion bowl but not share love!
A place where ignorance thrives and sells like second clothes in Ariaria market (Ariaria is a cosmopolitan town in Abia state of Nigeria, known for its business and commerce.) is definitely not a place to grow.
I was called rebellious and proud, stubborn and confrontational for daring to say that there was an issue with the church system, for daring to say that most teachings of the church were appalling, untrue and outright lies, that was my only offense, but woe betide me if I say what church wants to hear and not what God says in His ineffable words.
I was told if I left, "I would lose my anointing and grace, or would not be able to reach out to God again or even be faced with difficulties"
This was what the church system told me, but sadly, I was dissapointed after I left such religious system, very disappointed indeed, yes I was disappointed when God dissapointed the church system and still used me to bless His people, despite my unbecomings, I was disappointed when God still answered my prayers after the church assumed the place of God in my life by saying what God didn't say, I was disappointed that God didn't hate me like the church system made me want to think, oh what a positive disappointment it was, that God dissapointed the church system on my behalf.
Oh, I said goodbye to the church system a long time ago, it's been polluted corrupted by forces that be, the devil didn't do it alone, Government supported him, families supported him, even priests of God washed their hands off the path of truth, like the Biblical Pilate; and said "woe betide us if we say the truth anymore!"
The church has been gang raped by spiritual and religious gladiators, she's now bleeding from the rape. Various veneral diseases have been introduced to her, ranging from demonism, hatred, envy, witchcraft, killings, deceptions, jealousy, to erroneous teachings and practices.
The church has been gang raped and stripped naked, she drips with the tears of her Bridegroom The Christ, ohhh how I weep for the Church that was bought with the blood but now sold out to ignorance.

I was made to hate other members of the body of Christ simply because they were in a different denomination from mine, I was made to believe it didn't matter if it was the same Christ that died for them, as long as they were not my denomination, I was told it was right, if not Biblical to hate them. I was told I couldn't be blessed if I didn't empty my account and even go on debts, I was told that only one man could hear from God, as man of God, that God doesn't even know others existed, I was told that God can not answer my prayers until it was offered by one man whom God may have used 7 trailer loads of sand to create, this is what the church system told me.
But today I am free,
Free from lies
Free from deceptions
Free from manipulations
Free from mind control
Free from gimmicks
Free from dramas from the pit of hell
Free from "unholy spiritual works"
Free from bondage
Free from limitations. . .
I really am free, there's only one way to be free; RUN, run for your life!
This Gospel Must be Preached in Truth

Emancipate yourself, run from such bondage, not tomorrow, run now!!!
Truth indeed is a bitter medication but once swallowed its function is inevitable. Thanks for this truth. I must say that, it is not only in your locality but also in my country Ghana. It happening everywhere, preaching the devil more the Christ, preaching fear everywhere, changing the words of John 14:6 from Christ said I am the way, the truth and the life no one goes to the father except through me, to my church is the way, the truth and the life, no one goes the father except through my church. Hmmm!
@amdavid, it is interesting to realise that when a single man suffers from delusion, society calls that madness but when a group of people suffer from the same delusion, society calls that religion. And that is bullshit. So no wonder they called you names I do not want to iterate. Keeping preaching emancipation for mankind. You can check This one too.

Oh, you have seen the real light. Agreed the church system seems to be corrupted everywhere, but they are blinded by their own false light and can’t see truth. Truth always wins. the false cannot defend, but it will give a hard fight.

Truth must be told, but most people because of what they claim the church has become end up becoming having no church which is even more dangerous. So at this crucial stage we need to pray hard for the church of God
