There are many reasons why people dislike the established organization that is the church. We as followers of Christ understand that we are not in any position to judge anyone, yet still we outcast and segregate church and church members. Church should be a place where people are accepted for who they are. Many times I have seen that churches attract a certain demographic. There are upper class, middle class, and lower class organizations. Why is there a need to separate and divide Christ’s body? How can any follower of Christ be compared to another. Why is it that we believe some churches are better than others? If people took serious the call of Christ they would not need to compare and judge one another. Christ calls us to follow him. This call needs to be the focal point of our entire lives. If we all have sinned how could one judge another. It seems like to me today that churches will cast stones at other denominations. Try and prove why there difference in practice is better. Are we not missing the point? Why would God want an internal struggle to divide his church? Are all people under Christ not one? How is it that we find the smallest differences and decide it time to leave? I’m not saying that differences in theology need to be overlooked, but I am saying we need to look at other denominations as part of the body of Christ. It should not be an “or” approach but an “and” approach to the body of Christ.
