Have any adults left the church of their childhood because they no longer agreed with its teachings?

Answer 1

Yes.

Grew up in a conservative Christian home, went to seminary, and even was a pastor of an evangelical church for a while.

Now I'm an Isian Witch. Go figure.

Blessed Be,

Pabs

Answer 2

I no longer attend services of any kind, was raised in a very faith centered home by my Mormon parents. While I am grateful for the basic teachings that molded me (don[t kill, steal, or commit adultery) I have a difficult time with religions that do not value individuality, no two people are the same, so I have a hard time when blanket statements about anyone are given. that everyone has to do this certain thing or that certain thing. I find that there is a lot if discrimination/hatred hidden within religion, or for those whose beliefs are different from our own.

Answer 3

I left not only because i didn't agree with the teachings, but also because I found out much of what was being told was not in the bible or came from Paul, who has a lot to answer for, come Judgement day... I found that the churches of today are not only setup against God's will; as it is written in the revelation, but they are also mostly based on pauls teachings... wherein, God's words are written therein, as well as our Saviour's words... and if you were to check them... you would see that they are very different from what the churches say that paul has said.

The only true way to God, is to Study to show yourself approved.

Look at it this way: A thousand years is a long time to think about being wrong... especially when you are going to realize it in the first few seconds. Do you want to risk that on a pseudo-christian pagan minister... whom, even our Saviour has revealed will get the Lake of Fire?

Be careful of what you allow your spirit to believe... and remember the devil does not want you to know truth, and will do all he can to destract you.

Answer 4

I was born and raised Catholic, because i was forced into it. While I don'r agree with alot of it, it is where I am comfortable. I didn't go for a long time when I got out on my own, and i still don't go as regulary as I should. But I feel the need to have some sort of spiritual guidance, and I have tried other religions. I have a really hard time going anywhere besides a Catholic Church.

Answer 5

Yes, I was raised in a very formal fundamental church. Sing, prayer,choir, responsive reading, pass the plate, sermon, sing, feel bad, altar call, doxology, go home, have roast beef....

I left that behind for an awesome experience with God. I went to a church that He called me to. A little non denominational church, where people know that we have all sinned, and will again, cause we are forgiven, but still mess up. And that's okay, we learn to get it right, step forward and keep our eyes focused on Jesus.

We wear blue jeans if we want or dresses if that what makes us happy, we take a smoke break, cause guess what? Christians smoke.. we have rock and roll, and sometimes, we have so much fun we forget to preach, but, Jesus is there joining in with us.
Mostly tho' we love on the Lord, worship him, and minister to each other.

be blessed in Jesus.

Answer 6

I started to question the teachings of my church when I was about 16 or 17. I became interested in Judaism and began to believe in Judaism very strongly, and did so for many years. A few years ago however, I began to question Judaism, and am now a Hindu.

Answer 7

Yes. At 16 I stopped going to church. It took another 20+ years to decide I wanted to look for what was missing in my life. As I started to search many new wonderful experiences and friendships began occurring in my life and now I walk a path that my spirit chose not one that was chosen for me and I couldn't be happier or more at peace.

Answer 8

My childhood church was the Roman Catholic Church. I left because I would not teach my child to do things that I myself could find no scriptural support for.

There is one mediator between God and man: Jesus Christ.

Answer 9

I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic schools, and was even an alter boy. When I got older, I started reading the Bible, and realized there were a lot of errors in the Catholic theology. I'm now a Born Again Christian.

Answer 10

That would be me. As a child, I attended the Church of LDS(Mormons).As I got older, I began to think for myself and tried to find a religion where I felt I 'belonged'.Mission Accomplished.I've been Wiccan for 15 years.I disapprove of any religion that refuses to value each gender as equals.
