Pastor threatens to kick out mask-wearing worshippers from church
NY Post ^ | July 27, 2021 | 8:51pm | Mark Lungariello

A fiery Tennessee pastor told mask-wearing worshippers they should go pray somewhere else as he railed against the “buckwild demon-possessed government” in a politically-charged sermon.

“If they go through round two and you start showing up, all these mask and all this nonsense, I will ask you to leave,” Greg Locke of the Global Vision Bible Church told followers on Sunday.

“I am not playing these Democrat games up in this church,” he went on, telling congregants to go instead to the First Baptist Church if they want to social distance.

“I’m done with it. I said I’m done with it. I ain’t playing these stupid games.”

A video of the mass, posted to his Facebook page, shows the pastor getting worked up over the possibility of renewed restrictions amid a spike in coronavirus cases due to the Delta strain of the virus – which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said now accounts for over 80 percent of all cases.

“Don’t believe this Delta variant nonsense,” he says, the video shows. He then yells “Stop it! Stop it!”

I have no problem with someone wearing a mask. I do have a problem with being forced to. This pastor is similar to the left. They like to force their opinions on others t9o.

He’s up near Mt Juliet, northeast of Nashville. Too far for me to go on a regular basis, unfortunately.

Doesn’t sound like the Gospel was the focus of this church during this particular sermon.

“Come and grow with us”

Again, opposite of his recent statements.

Every store has that. I just waltz in and let them assume I’ve capitulated to the Government and their experimental vaccine.

Well to be fair if they want to mask and its totally voluntary then if you don’t let them you are as bad as the commies. I plan to wear a mask to Wal-Mart forever. 😆

They'll be plenty of time for that Bible stuff later.

Time permitting, of course.

...but we love you too much to let you stay that way. Come and grow with us as we seek God’s will and show His love.”

Unless, of course, you're wearing a mask.

Mask wearing is a religion and he is rejecting it and their god Fauci.

If people feel better wearing a Mask, why is it any of his business?

Sounds like he is mandating behavior, the same way people he disagrees with are mandating behavior.

Then how is he better than Fauci? You can’t have it both ways.

“Mask wearing is a religion”

For some, perhaps - for others it’s simply a prudential decision, in no way rendering them unfit for Christian worship services.
