THese Protestant churches have such a low brow interpretation of scripture it's embarrassing

They are the ones that fuel atheists because they have childlike understanding of the religion they think they follow, they are caught up on the dogma of genesis and the predictions of revelations and have no concept of the deeper doctrines of the classical church

It's fucking embarrassing actually, their faith is shallow, they are more concerned with going to church on Sunday and praying to Jesus and not concerned about true morality or the wisdom of scripture

Fuck them

Just because megachurches are of white demographic does not mean they aren't riddled with degeneracy

Look at Seattle. >95% white and one of the most degenerate places around.

A church is not a building, but a congregation of 2 or more people in the name of Christ. This is a congregation of thousands of people in the name of tax-free donations.

Do churches pay any taxes like property taxes? I mean I’ve read that the mormon church has massively declined in membership in recent years, in part due to truth revealed by the internet, but they dont care because it mainly is a business holding and they have a ton of property that makes money. I assume churches at least pay taxes on commercial properties they own that sre not used for religious purposes, right?

Megachurches have massive potential to be excellent but blow it.

All that tax exempt money, all that unity among people and they don't flex it. They could pool money negotiate killer deals on coffee and donuts to provide to the congregation.

Turns out it's more effective to sell it to people. Why do good for your members when you can take their money?

What's even more surreal is that people will take the word of a small church pastor as though it is just as good and Christian as anything else.

Small local churches congregations with unique denominations under 100 and people. Their members pretend like they aren't cultists when they're going off the word of one guy who has no oversight from elder/higher ranking church members.

They will tell kids that Matthew 5:38-40 means be a giant pacifist weenie. My father was convinced of this and spent the first 45 years of his life being a weenie. Unfortunately, when he finally cast off these shackles it just primed him to go from cuckservative to liberal atheist cuck.

Joel Osteen is constantly fixated with the idea that we are guaranteed to be blessed on this Earth, despite that so many more blessings await us in Heaven and the world to come. Christians suffer hardships, too, and outside of his main demographics from America, many such hardships. I don't believe the typical Osteen speech is going to resonate with too many Christians from Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, China, or many other countries. The most concerning aspect of Osteen's ministry is that he proposes the idea that, effectively, if Christians "say it and claim it," they will get their blessings, and apparently, if you did not get what you wanted, he would urge you to pray harder and many more times. Osteen's brand of Christianity is called Prosperity Gospel for a reason, it is too obsessed with worldly materialism and making God fit the role of a wish-granting genie. God is all-powerful, and we are at his mercy, saved by the grace of Jesus Christ the son of God (the Earthly manifestation and aspect of God). God may not always give us what we want, and what we want is not always justified.

Our churches are less than 50 people, sometimes less than 20, and ee abide by one simple rule, what the bible says, take it at face value with 2 or 3 (biblical) witnesses. I.e. verses.

Any other interpretations are to treated as private revelations. Not for the whole congregation.

Yes, exactly! Christians can pray for a long time, and while communicating with God is good, one cannot expect that everything they pray for will come to pass, unless it is God's will. His will is to be done, and it may include our desires, but God knows much more than we do, and in His wisdom, He may turn down our requests in favor of furthering His glory in the world instead of our own glory.

as an actual house builder, McMansions are a distinctly California sorta thing.

Most houses we build that are valuable are generally highly customized and sturdy, with layouts per customer demands.

Recent trends in American residential building include open spaces, usually accomplished by linking the living room and kitchen to make a large "grand hall" style room that lends itself well to parties. Usually the deck or patio is attached too. Finished basements are becoming common for tax purposes (it isnt technically a second story in most states, and heating and cooling costs drop).

Nowadays due to firecodes, the houses are much sturdier. Joists are being made with new fiberglass materials that are much more flame resistant and water resistant than wood. Unfortunately, per piece it is more expensive.

Many customers also prefer tile over hardwood for common areas, as it is more resistant to scratches and water damage/pet damage/kid damage. Geothermal is becoming more popular to lower heating and cooling costs.

Too often the multiple verses is an attempt to drown out a clear passage. Like how Peter's vision is used as a reason why it's suddenly ok to eat pork, even though the passage itself shows Peter saying that that he understood that the meaning was that he should call no MAN unclean.
