Real Christianity has a polarizing affect on people. If you adhere to popular religion then you will be ok with people, but you will not be ok with GOD. Popular religion requires human validation, real Christianity requires no human validation since it validated by GOD Himself. That is just the way it is, we can not have it both ways. Want to lose friends and family , then start practicing real Christianity.
And sadly, real Christianity will also get you removed from most churches. My premise for writing these statements are based on my own experiences and on the events recorded in the Bible. I will forgo writing about my own experiences because I certainly would much rather reference the Bible when explaining the subject. I will admit that having experiences congruent with the scriptures gives us greater insight.
My references text:
John 9:21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."
John 9:22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.
You might want to go back and read the entire story later, but my point is clear when reading the scripture, here are people more concerned with church membership than acknowledging Jesus.
