President Obama was criticized by Republicans for attending a church led by Jeremiah Wright, who repeatedly criticized the United States for being, in his own opinion, an evil terrorist nation. People wondered, how could Obama sit through sermons like that, year after year? Didn't that mean that at the very least, Obama didn't have any serious problems with what Wright was saying?
Well, we saw after eight years of Obama that that was probably true – that Obama saw America in a bad light. That's why he kept trying to "fundamentally transform" it.
But what about Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch? He belongs to a far-left church that embraces marriage redefinition, gun control, and the theory of man-caused global warming.
He belongs to St. John's Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colo., the Episcopal diocese of Colorado confirmed on Wednesday. Church bulletins show that the judge has been an usher three times in recent months. His wife Louise frequently leads the intercessory prayer and reads the weekly Scripture at Sunday services, and his daughters assist in ceremonial duties during church services as acolytes.
The first word that St. John's uses to describe itself on its website and Facebook page is "inclusive," and the church is led by a female rector. On its website, the church encourages members to write letters to Congress asking for actions addressing climate change.
That's not all. Its website also calls for members to lobby their congressmen for more gun control.

But gosh, why would “the most liberal” church order their pastors to do anything?
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'a 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?b 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
Matt 19:4-6

NIV
Luke 17:1-3
17
Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.
NIV
Rev 21:7-8 7
NIV Good luck with that.
So now Gorsuch is personally sexually immoral [married to a man, I take it] and a liar.
How about, “Thou shalt not bear false witness,”?
The teachings of the organization he CHOSE endorse with his presence (and to expose his family to) are what they are: anti-Christ.
Isa 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
NIV
"Love is the law, love under will."

You sure that's not your "reformed" fantasy doctrine?
I will try again to get an honest, straightforward answer to this question:
Jesus gave us a vivid and clear picture of the Day of Judgement. The sheep and goats were forever divided. Have you read the account recently? Does Jesus say to the sheep, “Come to my right hand side, because you always maintained doctrinal purity,” while to the goats, “Depart into the eternal fire of damnation, accursed ones, because you embraced liberal doctrines,”?
Asked and answered.
“ALL LIARS”
Trouble understanding that?
You are avoiding the answer. In this specific teaching, Jesus did not mention lies, liars or lying. If you genuinely cannot recall His words, you can find them in Matthew 25.
Do what thou wilt is not the whole of the law.
Deal with it.
If we had a state sovereignty-respecting Congress that could be relied on do its job to impeach and remove institutionally indoctrinated, state sovereignty-ignoring justices from the Supreme Court then I wouldn’t be overly concerned about question mark nominees like Neil Gersuch.
However ...
Rom 16:17-18Evidently CHOICES have consequences for flattered goats and/or naive Judges.
17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. NIV
Judgement Day is where/when the rubber meets the road for all of eternity. Christ Jesus, God incarnate, provided a vividly unforgettable image of that event. The sheep and the goats are divided, and the decision is final and forever. Jesus could have pleased you, and made lying/honesty the ultimate metric. He could have pleased MANY by making the issue doctrinal soundness versus liberalism.
Jesus did neither of those things. Rather, He shocked both the sheep and the goats by using a very different metric. Do you recall what it was?
Mark 9:42
42
"And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.
NIV
"ALL LIARS"Are you unwilling to reiterate Jesus’ words in Matthew 25? It behooves us all to pay close, life-and-death-serious attention to His direct teaching re Judgement Day. He is the ultimate authority; when He has spoken, we must receive, honor and obey His words. Any other course is disaster.
I'm Just unwilling to play into your fantasy wherein you to PERVERT Mt 25.
Doing good works does not constitute permission to teach false doctrine.
Rev 21:8Hence - Per
8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
NIV
...There's no excluding qualifier for ALL LIARS.
Furthermore, Jesus specifically admonishes those who'd teach false doctrine:
Mark 9:42-48 42 "'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
NIV
You are accusing the Lord JesusChrist, not I. I am only citing His teaching.
You’re a liar.
God forgive you. Citing the words of Jesus is the antithesis of lying.
>>Citing the words of Jesus is the antithesis of lying.
No, you PERVERT Jesus' words in Mt 25 in an attempt to excuse the teaching of false doctrine - which in this case is the acceptance of homosexual abomination of Nature and the perversion of Marriage.
"look! Look at us! - WE WHO TEACH CHILDREN TO SIN (but feed and cloth the poor... )"
It's similar to the "righteousness" claimed by the Pharisees...
John 8:39-41 39 "Abraham is our father," they answered. "If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do the things Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the things your own father does."
NIV
...who, likewise, denied Christ's relationship to His church - which is His bride, and (unlike the thing rendered in the spirit of anti-Christ by a "church" who condomes homosexual perversion of marriage) a reflection of the relationship HE ordained for marriage.
Jn 8:44
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
NIV

To preserve the tradition of Pederasty?

The accusations are false. All I have done is cite the words of Jesus in Matthew 25.
