That happens whenever a church gets involved in shining the light anywhere. Politics tends to hit a nerve in everyone (or at least the vast majority). But that should not prevent the church from proclaiming Truth from the pulpit. If the congregation finds it offensive, perhaps they should compare the message to Scripture and their own viewpoints, and see which one fails the test.
Yes but the same light can shine for or against Abortion. That’s the problem. When churches get involved in politics, they have to compromise.
I attend a church that is pro-life. But they have to temper that message because people start to equate a person’s stand on abortion with their Salvation. Even Saved people can be ignorant when it comes to politics.
Pro-abortion people are anti-science and illogical. You find them everywhere
So many churches are apostate. Any member of the World Council of Churches is.
They’re rainbow churches of the here and now, tolerating divorce, illegitimacy, fornication, adultery, feminization of liturgy, homosexuality and more. For example, ELCA health insurance covered abortion on demand for their clergy and staff long ago. Today, is the Pope Catholic?
Orthodox clergy have lived in fear of bible thumping for decades. IRS has sent spies into churches to bust them for political speech => tax penalty. Sodomites constantly cry hate. Single moms and teens wail over any moral judgements. Authentic men have been silenced.
