When Do You Leave a Church?

Not so much. Humility and humbleness are not my strong suits.
I have too much chutzpah.

Something said earlier in this thread by coverbd about moneygrubbing preachers reminded me of an occasion when I was knocking on doors once soul-winning and the fellow started yammering at me about all preachers being in it for the money. I stopped him cold in his tracks and told him I had been preaching for 15 years and had never taken a single dime from my church. Of course when Sancho Panza wants to fight windmills there are plenty of them to knock down.

That's why I live in a gated community. It keeps the undesirables
out.

Yeah, you willingly immersed yourself smack dab in the middle of all those undesirables when you came to this forum, and continue to show troll-like behavior.

Oh, there are plenty of examples of what the scriptures refers to as those who are in it for filthy lucre, but the people who spout that stuff as a reason not to go to church are usually just grasping for anything as a reason to continue in their willfull obstinance to the Lords commands.

Keep up your trolling and I bet you’ll eventually be disinvited from this neighborhood.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”

So we are taking scripture out of context to justify your narrative.
You would be better served studying Jewish culture and the Jewish roots to your faith.
According to the New Covenant the Gospel goes to the Jew first and then to the Greek. Does that mean Gentiles believers are second class?
You decide.
 
Your lips are moving, or fingers as it were, but all I hear is a hissing sound.

Maybe you need to change the batteries in your hearing aids?
You can buy them at a good price at Costco.
 
I thing my late father taught me early in life was that money talks and BS walks. Are you still walking?
