Fellow members of the faith, lend me your ears.
TL;DR on my situation, I'm leaving my church because I feel like I am being actively lied to & discriminated against because of my circumstances (this includes but is not limited to my Autism).
After being hurt by this "Church", I'm wondering. Churches everywhere claim you "have" to be apart of a "Church" to be considered a true "Christian". For every denomination, it's different, but ultimately it's the same. You have to be in THAT building every so often and engage with THAT community to be a true "Christian". But after being hurt by one in this manner... I'm questioning whether you need to even be apart of a physical church.
So I'm wondering, in your opinion, do you have to be a part of a Church, or a Church-like organization to be a Christian?
