Assuming your pastor took the Biblical position and stand, perhaps the church body and the church's efforts are better off without those nine.
And perhaps we will no see more purging of the churches, separating the Bible-believers and the genuine Christians from the false professors and mere religionists.
Agree, Churches have been infested with too many liberals who want to change the church and the congregations views.
One woman told me on here a few years ago that she had no opposition to the homosexual marriage , because a nice young man joined the church and was wanting to marry “ Yes another homosexual.
It’s people like that woman who are weak minded what are the problem.
Good point.
