put into practice the prophecies recorded in the Scriptures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it is quite difficult to separate the Church from

&quot;increasing self-esteem,&quot; &quot;creating a better world&quot;... or for any other reason that leads them to throw out the wheat in order to fill a temple with tares, are against Christ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">It is regrettable to hear people claiming that attendance at meetings promoted by ecclesiastical organizations is essential for anyone to &quot;remain steadfast with God,&quot; especially since these same people are unable to dissociate the Lord God and the Truth of the Scriptures from these organizations and the rituals\u2014often completely secular, full of useless politically correct virtues and, eventually, even profane!\u2014promoted by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are probably the ones who, faced with a situation like mine, would immediately turn away from everything and run off into the &quot;world,&quot; because they have never truly known the Lord God and need to live being guided by a path of repeated rituals of false edification, in which they never come to know for themselves the real power of the Word that liberates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-blockquote uagb-block-140a8667 uagb-blockquote__skin-border uagb-blockquote__stack-img-none bible-quote\"><blockquote class=\"uagb-blockquote\"><div class=\"uagb-blockquote__content\"><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color:#9b51e0\">Those who are always learning,<br>but they can never come to a knowledge of the truth.<\/span><\/div><footer><div class=\"uagb-blockquote__author-wrap uagb-blockquote__author-at-left\"><cite class=\"uagb-blockquote__author\"><strong>(2\u207f\u1d48 Timothy 3:7 \u2013 ACF)<\/strong><\/cite><\/div><\/footer><\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I confess that even I don&#039;t know why I&#039;m so stubborn, so annoying, and unable to &quot;relax&quot;

Believe me: the category of pastors with the least biblical knowledge is precisely this one, because, for the most part, neo-Pentecostal pastors are &quot;made by the knife,&quot; that is, they only learn to use persuasive techniques and to run campaigns that keep people going in circles.<br>I myself have never taken a biblical or theological course: in the ministry where I am a minister, no aspiring minister receives biblical training; we only receive spiritual \u201ctips\u201d on how to bless people.

ineg\u00e1vel a relev\u00e2ncia do trabalho realizado pelas empresas eclesi\u00e1sticas, ou estruturas a elas assemelhadas, em fun\u00e7\u00e3o da Igreja, Corpo de Cristo, nesses \u00faltimos (aproximadamente) mil anos: apesar de epis\u00f3dios absolutamente abjetos como, por exemplo, a Inquisi\u00e7\u00e3o, foram as a\u00e7\u00f5es de diversas Igrejas que mantiveram as pedras caladas e funcionando como instrumento do pr\u00f3prio Senhor Deus para preservar e difundir as Escrituras.Contudo, \u00e9 precisamente nesse solo \u00e1rido e institucional que, por vezes, Deus faz brotar uma esperan\u00e7a inesperada. O grande problema de qualquer ciclo milenar \u00e9 que o ser humano se adapta a ele de tal forma que simplesmente n\u00e3o consegue aceitar o seu t\u00e9rmino: o paradoxo a destacar surge dos que dizem crer em Deus \u2014 tanto judeus quanto crist\u00e3os, com destaque aos seus sacerdotes \u2014 e simplesmente se recusam a acreditar quando chega a hora de p\u00f4r em pr\u00e1tica as profecias registradas nas Escrituras! De fato, \u00e9 bastante dif\u00edcil realizar a desassocia\u00e7\u00e3o entre Igreja e empresas eclesi\u00e1sticas, inclusive n\u00e3o havendo um termo adequado pelo qual possamos nos referir a estas sem que soe depreciativo como clube social, clube religioso, empreja\u2026 Tamb\u00e9m n\u00e3o deixa de ser doloroso quando passamos a enxergar a realidade sobre aquele ambiente \u2014 outrora considerado sagrado \u2014 que, de acordo com os termos comerciais, funciona para gerar lucros, compete direta e acirradamente com outras franquias distribuidoras de produtos equivalentes, altera (ou, algumas vezes, at\u00e9 abandona completamente) a mat\u00e9ria prima para conseguir se adequar \u00e0s prefer\u00eancias dos consumidores e, mediante a pandemia, est\u00e1 completa e servilmente submisso \u00e0s ordens de C\u00e9sar. O Inqu\u00e9rito Do Pastor Neopentecostal Uma d\u00e9cada atr\u00e1s estava vivendo um turbilh\u00e3o em minha vida pessoal e, mesmo antes de ter meu entendimento sobre a ruptura entre Igreja e empreja plenamente consolidado, recebi a mensagem a seguir de um pastor assumidamente neopentecostal: Como geralmente pinto de vermelho tudo aquilo que \u00e9 suspeito ou duvidoso, na \u00e9poca, na publica\u00e7\u00e3o original, cheguei a fazer isso, mas agora me limitei a misturar um tom ligeiramente amarelo por quest\u00e3o de diferencia\u00e7\u00e3o e para alertar que essas n\u00e3o s\u00e3o minhas pr\u00f3prias palavras.A verdade \u00e9 que achei muito estranho o fato de um pastor assumidamente neopentecostal se aproximar com aparente sinceridade e, ainda por cima, apresentar uma quest\u00e3o v\u00e1lida.Bastante incr\u00e9dulo diante de tamanha simplicidade, decidi responder conforme apresento a seguir: A Resposta E A Esperan\u00e7a Inesperada Ol\u00e1, pastor!Vou apresentar, primeiramente, algo que n\u00e3o \u00e9 de minha pr\u00f3pria autoria, mas que, ao final, farei acr\u00e9scimos. Veja a explica\u00e7\u00e3o de M\u00e1rio Persona: O Modelo Apost\u00f3lico Sem Grilh\u00f5es Vejamos o exemplo do ap\u00f3stolo Paulo, cujas cartas e ep\u00edstolas comp\u00f5em mais da metade do Novo Testamento e s\u00e3o a melhor base para se estabelecer uma congrega\u00e7\u00e3o: sem d\u00favida ele fazia parte de todas as Igrejas \u00e0s quais escreveu, mas ningu\u00e9m pode afirmar que ele era \u201cmembro\u201d desta ou daquela, pois a verdadeira Igreja \u00e9 o Corpo de Cristo e nunca uma empresa eclesi\u00e1stica que segue o modelo empresarial secular para se tornar, atrav\u00e9s do CNPJ, uma esp\u00e9cie de parceira \/ propriedade submissa a C\u00e9sar. \u201cAcharam congregados\u201d, ali, naquele momento\u2026 e faziam parte dessa congrega\u00e7\u00e3o at\u00e9 mesmo \u201cos que estavam com eles\u201d, ou seja, quem quer que estivesse ali na comunh\u00e3o (entristecidos pela crucifica\u00e7\u00e3o, pesarosos, gente dando condol\u00eancias\u2026).Isso implica que n\u00e3o temos como considerar aqui a \u201ccongrega\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d formando uma estrutura eclesi\u00e1stica, mas sim a reuni\u00e3o, em comunh\u00e3o, dos que amavam ao Senhor Jesus Cristo. A Espontaneidade Do Congregar B\u00edblico Nesse exemplo temos quase uma \u201creuni\u00e3o da diretoria\u201d, mas ainda assim n\u00e3o se caracteriza uma estrutura eclesi\u00e1stica da forma que fomos acostumados a ver. A condicional \u201cse\u201d nessa passagem \u00e9 indicativo de que NEM SEMPRE toda a igreja se congregava em apenas um lugar.Observemos agora a passagem que citou por um escopo maior: O Limite Da Toler\u00e2ncia Com O Sistema A principal quest\u00e3o aqui, por incr\u00edvel que pare\u00e7a, n\u00e3o \u00e9 exatamente a da congrega\u00e7\u00e3o em si, mas a da admoesta\u00e7\u00e3o \u2014 &#8220;ANTES admoestando-nos\u2026&#8221;, ou seja, prioridade \u2014 aos irm\u00e3os que j\u00e1 n\u00e3o tem mais o cora\u00e7\u00e3o t\u00e3o purificado, aos irm\u00e3os cuja \u201cconfiss\u00e3o da esperan\u00e7a\u201d j\u00e1 n\u00e3o seja mais t\u00e3o firme, aos irm\u00e3os nos quais o amor e as boas obras j\u00e1 n\u00e3o tenham mais seu significado verdadeiro. Se chegou a ler minha hist\u00f3ria, viu que lutei enquanto foi poss\u00edvel: cheguei a contatar a conven\u00e7\u00e3o batista\u2026 mas a\u00ed surgem important\u00edssimas recomenda\u00e7\u00f5es b\u00edblicas que tamb\u00e9m n\u00e3o podem ser desprezadas: Ora, se a maior parte dos que est\u00e3o congregando em uma determinada empresa eclesi\u00e1stica \u00e9 composta por pessoas que fingem conhecer a verdade, submetendo-se a rituais sem fulcro nas Escrituras por raz\u00f5es como: E se, somado a isso, at\u00e9 mesmo os l\u00edderes \/ propriet\u00e1rios se colocam como inquestion\u00e1veis e inerrantes, a despeito de seu envolvimento em corrup\u00e7\u00e3o b\u00edblica, moral, sexual ou financeira\u2026Que comunh\u00e3o pode ter um genu\u00edno crist\u00e3o com estes?! De que adianta participar de cultos cheios de \u201csocial\u201d e \u201cpsicol\u00f3gico\u201d, mas esvaziados da verdadeira Palavra de Deus?! No meu caso, a fidelidade \u00e0 Palavra e o amor ao Senhor Deus sobre TODAS as coisas acabaram me tornando uma pedra muito pesada.O m\u00e9todo empresarial dita que qualquer empregado inconveniente, a despeito de estar certo, seja demitido: como numa empreja n\u00e3o se pode simplesmente fazer isso, o pastor come\u00e7ou a \u201cqueimar meu filme\u201d at\u00e9 que em determinado momento passei a
