California church draws backlash for sign: ‘Bruce Jenner is still a man’

A Northern California church sparked outrage over a sign that read: “Bruce Jenner is still a man. Homosexuality is still sin. The culture may change. The Bible does not."

-snip

The church, Trinity Bible Presbyterian Church, is located in Lake Shastina, Calif., which is about an hours’ drive from the Oregon border.

Protesters gathered in front of the church on Sunday to denounce what they called “hate and slander” and to “show our love and support for the LGBT community,” according to a Facebook page that organized the event.

Justin Hoke, the church’s pastor, wrote on Facebook Wednesday that the sign’s Plexiglass had been destroyed and the letters had been stolen.

"I woke this morning to find that our sign had been vandalized. They broke not only the plexiglas and stole some of the Letters, they also busted the power box. I have not seen it up close yet as this picture was sent to me by a member of our congregation. Please pray that God would provide."

the truth isn’t slander- the truth is not hate- hate would be saying nothing and watching the sinner go straight into hell without any warning


JUDE 17-33

17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen

...like I said it is pretty small.


Zechariah 4:10

For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.


1 Kings 19:10

He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.

I thought that the Presbyterians had gone *full* atheist.It looks like I might have been wrong.

The Presbyterian church (PCUSA) has gone apostate. The reformed PCA broke away from the PCUSA and follows the traditional Protestant confessions...for now.

One has to be VERY careful what church they choose. Nothing is black and white any longer.

People these days excuse sin thinking it is “love”. It isn’t love if you can’t tell someone about their sin and their need to confess their sin before God so that they might be saved. The real hate is by those who try to keep people from eternal joy. It isn’t enough to “hope” that one is “loving”. Love is relative.

Hell is real. Judgment is real. But so is God’s saving grace through our Lord Jesus if only we ask Him to cleanse us from unrighteousness.

“Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

Yeah. I wasn’t using “troll” as an insult. One of the things that impresses me about Trump is how effective he is at trolling. I like to think I’m pretty good at it too.

First time I ever consciously did it was in front of a fur shop back around 1991. There were a bunch of animal rights protesters there and I looked at them and said, “I can see Bambi had a very strong influence on you as a child.”

And that started it. :)

Hope is faith directed outward to future events.
