Search for Lawful Government with Ron Avery 10.24.23

24/OCT/23
Ron reviewed the new book: The Great Dechurching: Who’s leaving, Why are they Going, and What will it take to bring them back? By Jim Davis and Michael Graham w/ Ryan P. Burge, and Paul Djupe, Forward by Collin Hansen August 22, 2023. He covered the five main profiles of those who quit going to church and why and also the two main profiles of the casually dechurched and the church casualties. Ron didn’t get into the study findings about what might bring them back. But Ron focused on the theological reason for the falling away of the church which is putting Israel which denies the father, son and holy ghost in the holy place or the temple in the lives of Christians instead of Christ Jesus and his Kingdom established by his death, resurrection and ascension. The book found that 53% of church goers left the church from 2000 to 2020 and that another 8.33% left the church during Covid-19. This meant to Ron that the church is impotent and does not know how to apply the principles of the existing Kingdom of God on earth and salvation so the church can resist tyranny and protect its people from direct attack.
Mike from KY, Dan from WA, and John from CO. called in with good reinforcing comments. See the article Ron reviewed at: https://religionnews.com/2023/09/07/the-great-dechurching-explores-americas-religious-exodus/
