Cronos: this article lists the millions that are being poured into gay “wings” to subvert any number of Churches.——END

If it was just “gay wings”, the amounts would not be significant, for only 2% of the population is gay. There is a greater power behind this “gay movement”. The gay movement is just another part of the synthesis of all immmorality and revolt against all of nature, and God.

By the way, homosexuality is just the obvious immorrality, there are many other acts which the population has already inculturated into the mainstream, and even the people on FR will object if those acts against civilization are brought up for discussion, neverthe less, it was all those immoral acts, those crimes against nature, that lead to the last step, the obvious immoral act, the acceptance of homosexuality.

You are correct—that being said if one belongs to a congregation-or sect that chooses to leave the standard of fidelity toward Scripture—as it is written— for whatever reason—one may have no option left but to leave the offending congregation or sect and find another. The principle remains- we are to treat any group/congregation as we would a brother who sins against us. And first speak to them in private- then if the matter is not resolved with another-then bring the matter before the entire congregation. And if all these fail to bring reconcilliation What? are we allow sin continue that grace may abound- God forbid.I know of no passage or scripture that enjoins the believer to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

"one may have no option left but to leave the offending congregation or sect and find another. The principle remains- we are to treat any group/congregation as we would a brother who sins against us" -- I disagee, scripture is clear that we throw out the person from the church, not that we leave the church or throw it out.

We should not keep the reprobate in the community, we should not leave the community but "toss" the reprobate out

If we break up and keep breaking up, we form small, easy targets for the pink brigade.

I wonder what John Calvin or John Knox would say about this...

The more conservative churches are the ones that are growing. Let the "mainline" churches die, they have ceased being Christian and the only value they have left is in the real estate.
Very true. The Presbyterian Church in America is growing very well. The (PC)USA is losing members all around the country.

On the Catholic side it’s the same, conservative churches are growing, conservative seminary have to turn away men for lack of space.
