Bruce, While you may not have intended it, this reads like a slap in the fact with a wet sock. The 'Living God' dwells not only in Heaven but also with every one who puts their trust in him. In 1 Tim 6 we are told that the living God, giveth us richly all things to enjoy; These, and other photographs in this SIG are included.

Answer to the title:
Politics. Christianity so called 'leaders' are more political than anything. This applies to all religions but does not apply to true believers who now stay away from churches, for good reason.
Another reason are all the crooks selling salvation under different doctrines that are exploitative, narrow-minded and centered on the so-called 'leader'.

Unfortunalty too true. Include those selling the "Prosperity gospel' and the 'seed faith' scam on TV and internet, becoming wealthy on other people's need.

Why are my messages full of disdain and hatred.
I’m not perfect and yes I do get angry.
If me standing and talking about scripture quoting scripture
defending my faith full of disdain. I’m not going to let
anyone or anything walk over my and not defend it.
I’m not going to say do what you want and say all roads lead to heaven.
Yes I boldly proclaim that I follow my Lord Jesus Christ and His
Father the God of Israel. I have never said I was perfect but the difference between Christians
we ask for forgiveness. As for me I submit myself to the Lordship my King Jesus Christ.
I will and by His grace unapologetically stand on His word when He says
John 14:6
New King James Version
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Rongnongno…. The only thing that soba1 is trying to say is that Christ loves you and has provided a way for you to spend eternity with him in heaven through your personal acceptance of Him as Lord in your life. The decision is totally yours however your defiance will cost you an eternity of joy and happiness.
My NIV Bible says “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved……. The same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him..Romans 10:10-12
You cannot be saved by your works alone because we are Gods workmanship created in Christ to do good works.
I pray you make a decision for Christ before it’s too late.
