Across the street from us we have a 'First Congregational United Church of Christ'. They have a lesbian pastor, but still sometimes we have some discussions outside on the street. What took the cake, specially for a supposed religious person is when she said 'The problem with this city is that there are too many Churches.'(Her church is drastically losing membership) My jaw dropped, all I could say is 'The problem with this city is that there is not enough churches preaching the gospel!' (This city has the smallest church attendence in the country) What would you say to a pastor like that?
When the spirit visits a church it overflows in to the parking lot.
When the devil is preaching the spirit goes else where and rot sets in.
There is nothing she can do to save her church (other than repent and start anew)
You all are welcome to your beliefs until you start burning Protestants again.
“What would you say to a pastor like that?”
Don’t worry, you and your buddy Satan are making fine progress.
And all the RCCPedophile Priests that molested little boys.The RCC has lots to answer for.
“What would you say to a pastor like that?”... Thank You.
Yes. As far as the UCC is concerned, the Holy Spirit got His hat and left years ago. Those who can hear the voice of the Shepherd have been following.
Your answer was perfect, made me smile.
if all the priesta were American, would you say that the U.S had something to answer for??? The men themselves have something to answer for, not the church.......and they weren't pedophiles, they were GAY.
they were predatory gay pedophile priests,and the church covered it up,protected them,and moved them from parish to parish so they could continue thier preying on young boys.Dont tell me that only the RCC has the path to heaven.
I see that the sex crime obsessives here would tell this dykeroo that there are too many Catholic churches in town and in the world.
The Catholic Church is a group of Churches including the Latin Rite Church (Western Church) (Roman Catholic) 1.2 billion members. There are 22 other autonomous particular churches,(Eastern Rite Churches) They include:
Byzantine Tradition
Melkite Church
Ruthenian Catholic Church
Romanian Catholic Church
Italo-Albanian Catholic Church
Albanian Byzantine Catholic Church
Belarusian Greek Catholic Church
Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church
Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
Croatian Greek Catholic Church
Greek Byzantine Catholic Church
Hungarian Greek Catholic Church
Macedonian Greek Catholic Church
Russian Catholic Church
Slovak Greek
Antiochian or West Syrian Tradition
Maronite Church
Syriac Catholic Church
Syro-Malankara Catholic Church
Chaldean or East Syrian Tradition
Chaldean Church
Syro-Malabar Catholic Church
Armenian Tradition
Armenian Catholic Church
Alexandrian Tradition
Coptic Catholic Church
Ethiopian Catholic Church
All are aligned with Rome and consider the Bishop of Rome as the Seat of Peter and the Representative of Christ on Earth, yet they have their own traditions. They constitute millions of members.
The Catholic Church is working diligently on bringing both the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX)AND many Anglican Churches back into alignment with the Church.
The goal of ALL Churches should be the saving of souls, not the salving of a sinners conscience or the legitimizing of their sin. Without Moral absolutes, there are truly no morals at all.
Francis I SHOULD proclaim that only through the Catholic Church can a person truly come to Christ. He would be remiss in his requirement that he evangelize if he did not.
Are there more churches than bars?
your answer is excellent.
Actually, he simply said “Church”, but the Catholic Church has always (up until Vatican II) taught that there is only one Church, the Catholic Church.
Yes they do. And the modernist bishops, popes and priests that promoted and now support the New Theology that grew out of Vatican II will answer to God for their errors. The homosexual priests were all but recruited by the modernists following the Council. Then, when it became apparent that the homosexual priests were practicing their “art” on little boys, the modernist bishops turned their heads and tried to hide it. And Cardinal Bernadine (RIP), the then head of the USCCB, was on the front line of the cover-up––if not directly involved, himself. Still, there is only one true Church, the Roman Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ.
I would say “Lady...” (there is no such thing as a woman pastor, leave alone a lesbian pastor), “Lady, you mean your gospel, not Christ’s gospel.”
