There are corrupt Christians running things, who clearly do not live by the tenants of their beliefs. What difference does a label make when they tend to be hypocrites anyway.
tenets not tenants
Religion does not make one a "Christian".
Following The Christ does.
The left has invaded the mainline Protestant churches attacking and destroying Christian theology on key tenets such as original sign, the death of Jesus as a sacrifice for our redemption and his resurrection, holy matrimony, the body as the temple of God, the sanctity of life and, in the process driving away believers who see that these institutions have been turned into basically political organizations with ceremonial services, happy talk, offering music as entertainment rather that worship — all in the cause of radical leftist policies.
Exhibit A: The Episcopal Church. In 2010 (the latest tabulations) average attendance on Sunday fell below 700,000. See here: http://www.episcopalchurch.org/files/2010_Table_of_Statistics_of_the_Episcopal_Church.pdf They claim 2.125 million baptized members, but that is considered an inflated number. In the 1960s there were 4 million members at a time when the US population was half its size.
The Episcopal Church today acts as the leftist vanguard attacking Christian morality, embracing radical abortion positions, embracing homosexuality as a good thing and supporting same-sex ‘marriage,’ while proclaiming government as the solution to all of mankind’s ills, supporting public policy positiosns (such as requirement the Sisters of the Poor to pay for abortion). that force Christians to abandone their faith. All of these positions are anathema to God and Christ.
Thus a church that was once championing Christianity is today a Satanic force waging war against Jesus Christ and Christian theology and morality using the funds of millions of the ancestors of today’s believers stashed in church endowment funds. If the Episcopal Church had remained faithful it should have 8 million members today.
Similar things have happened in the Lutheran Church, the Presbyterian Church and the Methodist Church. Long, long ago, it destroyed the United Church of Christ — the Congregationalists of New England, the descendants of the Puritans.
