Christian is as a denomination that centers on Christ defines it. Your congregation defines it one way. Another does another way. You believe you’re right. They believe you’re full of it and that your beliefs are blasphemous. That’s just the right of each person to their own beliefs. I’ll support your right to your own beliefs and I’ll support other denominations right to believe their own way. The only thing I won’t support is someone trying to force another person into their belief structure. That’s why I’m against much of the Muslim faith. It believes it’s their way or the highway. I’m against bigotry and forced beliefs in every religion, including Christianity. But once that church door closes behind a congregation, then their prejudices are their own business. They just can’t bring those prejudices into the town square and act on them.
I don’t get into silly sect wars/disagreements. Mild disagreements over this, that, and the other thing are bound to come up. But certain issues are basic, bedrock core principles. We know Satan hates the Church. But what better way to corrupt humans than by misdirection and telling people lies and getting his followers inside these institutions and telling them up is down, backwards is forwards, sin is not sin, and so forth. This is what is going on, and this is why it is evil. Again, you cannot call it a Christian anything when the WORSHIP of sin is right there marking the front door. There are two types of people that will attend said “church”: those that know it is sin and do not care and wish to corrupt the naïve or the weak, and those misguided that believe the lies being told are actually true. The first group are lost souls, but the second can be reached and should be warned as loudly as possible.
It’s very simple: either one believes in the truth as God spoke it, or one does not. I deplore lies and liars. I attended one church as a child that began to tell sinners that their sin wasn’t wrong, and eventually now, that entire sect has been corrupted and turned into that aforementioned den of sin worshipping and not worship of God.
I approach it the same way with politics. It’s why the left deplores true Christianity, because it gets in the way of their worship and proliferation of evil and destruction. They used to come out at election time (and now in our instant media age, every day in between) and lie to their constituents (even as it destroys them) that the Republican/Conservative agenda is harming them, accusing the opposition of every horrible thing that they themselves do on a daily basis. It’s the same thing with sin worship.
After all, you go back 50 years ago and the big issue was liberating sinners from conventional mores so they could “live their own lives/go their own way.” Fine. Except one problem, that wasn’t enough. Because so many leftists and “liberationists” suffer from malignant narcissistic delusions regarding themselves and their abhorrent lifestyles, they can’t just “live by themselves” with their sins. Tolerance isn’t enough. No, they must be forever worshipped for their lifestyles and choices. They can’t stand that sin is preached against, so using Satanic means of “a great lie”, they go sect by sect subverting the word of God and preaching lie as truth to accommodate this abomination.
And now it’s such that the civil rights of those who refuse to go along with this abomination are in serious jeopardy. A couple of black robed jurists away from a full-fledged homofascist tyranny against Christians and others of conscience.
As far as I’m concerned, and as far as God is concerned, what’s going on in these sodomy-worshipping dens of lies is pure evil, straight from Satan himself. The father of lies. And this garbage MUST be called out for what it is.
Hmmmm, that's a pretty good description of a United Methodist service I attended.
