“I thought Gofundme was a leftist company.”
It is. If they disapprove of the person or organization receiving funds they’ll confiscate the money donated and give it to a woke cause. They stole the money given to the trucker convoy in Canada.
Sounds like the congregation isn’t up to speed on these things. Good stewardship of God’s gifts requires basic knowledge of what’s going on the world.
Conservative GiveSendGo was created specifically to counter the pro-left company.
Asking help in going to secular courts to sue is a direct violation of 1 Corinthians 6. There are only two biblical avenues to address this. If the church is organized on an elder basis with other local elders to whom they are accountable, then a appeal to them. If not, as is sadly the case in the USA with churches being congregational to the point of atomization, then WALK AWAY. They are blind guides, leave them alone.
You cannot violate the clear command of God by going to court in front of unbelievers and expect God to “bless” you. If preservation of a spangledy building with all the money you poured into it ... if that means more to you than obedience to God, then go for it. I wish you well and hope you “succeed” and get to keep your pretty baubles. Do not imagine that God will be in it, though.
He doesn’t say these things just to hear Himself make a noise.
