Sadly, I'm not shocked by this. This "church" has hosted drag shows each June and said they would only hire a openly gay minister several years ago.

I guess by that logic Patrick Mahomes is three times as gay as Jesus.

They were the first and the worst of the apostate denominations. Right from the start in 1959 or so, when they couldn’t quite decide whether Jesus was really the incarnate son of God. They have left it sort of an open question ever since. Last time I dropped in at a UCC service, about thirty years ago, the preacher never mentioned Jesus throughout the whole sermon. He did talk about eating hotdogs at the Indians game the night before though, and made a wise crack about those people who get converted in “a shazam! moment.” That’s the UCC this dude preaches to.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far. far, far away, members of what is now the United Church of Christ were known as Puritans.

Well, what’s left of them. I forgot the exact numbers, but since they’re founding, they’ve lost something like 50%, more or less, of their membership. And that was probably in 2019 or so I remember reading that. On paper, I’m still a member of a UCC Church and get the annual reports and newsletters. In the last two years, my congregation, and I use that loosely, has had a whopping two people join, but probably 10 to 12 die and seen their weekly attendance drop into the 40 to 50 range. The last time I actually attended regularly, back in probably 2012 or 13, when the pastor was actually really good, they probably had 150 to 175 on your average Sunday, excluding the summer one attendance, probably got down into the 70s

The very most important basic Doctrine.

WOW 😮 😮 😮


(for the thread)

Matthew 16:15-17
New King James Version

15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for Flesh and Blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in Heaven.

Drag Shows / Pride Parades are ALL Recruiting Tools / spirit of antichrist Propaganda inspired by That Old Serpent 🐍 Called the Devil and Satan

the movie channel often ran ads for Drag Queen RuPaul on ...... MTV

MTV is one of the most effective destructive forces on TV - it was great in the early 1880s when it was just music 🎶🎶🎶 videos - worldly, though, admittedly - so it should be no surprise

(DEMOCRAT James Talarico)

Had to look him up.

[Talarico describes Christian nationalism as “the worship of power – social power, economic power, political power, in the name of Christ” and has accused Christian Nationalists of turning Jesus “into a gun-toting, gay-bashing, science-denying, money-loving, fear-mongering fascist” and argued that it is “incumbent on all Christians to confront it and denounce it” in a 2023 guest sermon which racked up more than 1 million views after it was posted on YouTube]

Interesting 🤔🤔🤔 statements given the rich Democrats.

Tell us EXACTLY how a MAN becomes a WOMAN?? By SCIENCE 🧪🧪🧪

This whole "TRANSGENDER" LIE is Normal-Society-Destroying MADNESS from SATAN and the Pits of Hell Fire 🔥 🔥 🔥

("TRANSGENDER")


NO SUCH THING AS "TRANSGENDER" EXISTS

(What does that make James Talarico?)

(TEXAS)

Here’s a summary of his stance on LGBTQ+ issues:

Support for LGBTQ+ Rights: Talarico has OPENLY DECLARED HIMSELF an ally and a MEMBER OF THE TEXAS HOUSE LGBTQ CAUCUS, actively CAMPAIGNING AGAINST ANTI-LGBTQ LEGISLATION and working to ensure the needs of all Texans, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, are prioritized in the state government.

He is a Christian pastor himself, but he advocates strongly against Christian nationalism and its attempts to justify discrimination against THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY under the guise of religious faith.

Challenging Harmful Legislation:

A wolf inn sheep’s clothing and a liar if he’s claiming to be Christian.

There’s really no difference between throwing these people into the sea with a millstone around their necks, or just putting one in the back of their heads.
