Pro-gay church plans to build worship space/brewery, donate profits to Planned Parenthood
Fox News ^ | Sun, 08/12/18 | Robert Gearty

A building in Santa Cruz, Calif., is being converted into a worship space and public brewery by a pro-gay church that plans to donate some of its beer proceeds to Planned Parenthood, according to reports.

Members of the Greater Purpose Community Church now meet on Sundays at a food lounge to pray, listen and drink beer, KNTV reports.

"There’s nothing in the Bible that says you can't drink alcohol in a responsible manner," Pastor Chris VanHall told the station.

Planned Parenthood has offices in the former bookstore VanHall plans to turn into a brewery by next summer, The Santa Cruz Good Times weekly newspaper reported.

“A church that serves beer and gives the profits away to places like Planned Parenthood is really exciting to me,” the pastor told the paper...

VanHall told KION-TV in a report Friday that on Sundays there will be church in the bar "but it’s going to be before we open to the public."..

Anyway, he said, his sermons are always better after a couple of beers.

Roman Catholics have their K of C bars, if not part of a church building, but this perverted pastor most major sin is not turning a church into a brewery beer-joint, but sanctioning and promoting what God teaches is a moral abomination.

God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified - and only condemned homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.

See HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONS and the BIBLE

How is boozing it up in an environment of sodomy and murder “responsible”?

Sounds like these “worshipers” are in need of a church.

Co 11:17  Your worship services do you more harm than good. I am certainly not going to praise you for this. 
1Co 11:18  I am told that you can’t get along with each other when you worship, and I am sure that some of what I have heard is true. 
1Co 11:19  You are bound to argue with each other, but it is easy to see which of you have God’s approval. 
1Co 11:20  When you meet together, you don’t really celebrate the Lord’s Supper. 
1Co 11:21  You even start eating before everyone gets to the meeting, and some of you go hungry, while others get drunk. 
1Co 11:22  Don’t you have homes where you can eat and drink? Do you hate God’s church? Do you want to embarrass people who don’t have anything? What can I say to you? I certainly cannot praise you.

How is this a church? It’s a for-profit beer hall, a business if I’m reading right? With a sermon for entertainment. I hope they do not have charity status, that would be absurd. And if it’s gays only isn’t that discrimination in serving drinks?

Good article...with a link to an even better one:

http://www.pravmir.com/the-eucharistic-context-of-pastoral-response-to-contemporary-challenges-in-marriage-family-and-sexuality/

The takeaway gem:

“Parishioners in some civil marriages may have their marriages blessed in the Church and return to the Eucharist. Without that blessing, however, their marriages are not oriented to the Kingdom through crowning, the common cup, or other dimensions of the service that make marriage an entrance to the messianic banquet. The spouses’ exclusion from the chalice reflects that their unions remain as water not turned into wine, for their “one flesh” union has not been brought into communion with Christ.”

Really? Do you think I am that I am that ignorant of Catholicism as to not know this, or so careless that I cannot back it up?

How many descriptions will it take for you to admit what I stated was not rubbish/nonsense, but factual? Well here one to start with:

Newly renovated, the clubroom provides the perfect atmosphere for Knights and Social members to mingle. Centralized around the bar, the room offers plenty of seating within view of a hd television. © 2018 Knights of Columbus Council 554. All rights reserved. http://www.massillonkofc554.org/facilities.html

And in addition to member bars, they rent out rooms where people can booze it up, like these.

http://www.waterlooknightsofcolumbus.com/rent-our-hall; http://www.kchallfdl.com/FAQRetrieve.aspx?ID=14533

Another: "Welcome to the Batesville Knights of Columbus" Our facility is all on one level. We have a full service bar open 7 days a week. https://batesvillekofc.com/

Want more? Of course, Luther (whom many Catholics seem to think we follow like a pope, or how they used to say a pope is to be followed, drank at pubs, as did most men of his day, not that i think he should have. But the context her is that of a bar in a church, with a church society bar being the closest thing i could think of to that.

Beside having a soul and spirit, as is taught in Scripture, we know from modern medical science, the unborn child can feel significant physical pain down to between 6-8. Study has also been underway to docent more clearly, the development of an unborn baby’s response to emotion - fear, and hate etc...

So what this group needs to satisfy their bloodlust, is actual audio of the unborn crying out in excruciating pain, while they are having their limbs ripped off, sawn off, and drill bits and large guage needles stuck through their eyes, as is the actual practice in order to suck their brains out, or the pain in their little chest, from induced heart attacks, which is also common.

If there were actually motivated by morality that could have an effect, though they could also just argue for sedation of the infant first, or removal of the brain.

However, for most any expression of appeal to morality is simply a means to an end, that of gaining credence for their immoral goals.
