And if you pay taxes in America some of your money is going to support the United Nations; aid to the Palestinians, etc. So?

Do the good run away or stand and fight for what is right?

There is no utopia. The NT Churches were hardly bastions of morality or doctrinal purity - it is no different today. The visible Church is always a mixture of wheat and tares; truth and error.

With all due respect, I prefer to remain in the communion of my birth and baptism, working for the good and opposing error.

I have no choice of paying taxes and where it will be spent. I do have a choice in which church I choose to attend. I refuse to enable this type of corruption.

These types of "churches" are leading their parishoners down the primrose path. There must be a special place in hell for these "pastors".

Well said, and praise God you are able to hold this view and stand like a rock for others.

The children of God have mega-boldness within but so many have been duped into thinking "leadership" trumps all that they neurotically second-guess this boldness and fail to throw out teachers of error like the Bible tells them to do.
