His name was Spencer Kimball and he was president of the Mormon church in 1973 when it finally became necessary to allow blacks a path to the priesthood.

This was against Mormon teaching. So Kimball conjured up a personal visit from God, who told him it was now OK to have black priests.

Maybe the Pope will entertain Jesus in chambers to be told, “That sodomy stuff? It’s okay. What was I thinking?”

With the RCC taken care of, protestants would be next.

So what Jesus said is that he saw SATAN as BARAK O BAMA.

Does this mean he is going to have a prestigious post in the UN? overseeing The Final Solution, perhaps?

everyone touched by God is called to repentance, nothing wrong with saying repent of homosexuality sin

“This is just one example of thousands like this across America”
Yep. Many congregations have split over it too.
Sheep and Goats.
The Devil is pleased but, hopefully this heresy fades and life saving centers are simply doubled.
God has been known to bring on such things, bad things for later good..
The Devil deceives but, it always goes back on him. I belong to a congregation that formed when a pastor was fired, as far as I am concerned a great thing happened.

The old congregation will struggle with their”feelings” until God bring them back around and hence the doubling. Yeah, it sounds crazy.

I must admit, I had figured it very possible (not saying “likely”) that Obama would take up a post at the United Nations after his pResidency.

I don’t know that he’s “the guy” I’m just saying he does an excellent impression of “the guy”.

That being said, I still expect the Antichrist to arise out of Europe. Time will tell, of course.

“I don’t support the gay lifestyle but I’m not going to wear a sign saying so.”

Would you wear a MAGA hat?

I have no answer to that. What I have observed is that BO has not disappeared into retirement as most former presidents do. He is only the 2nd president in USA history to stay in DC after his last term expired, and the only 1 to continue to blatantly stick his nose into the succeeding administration with the support of a crooked media.

The only other mention of BARAK in the Bible is a heroic figure and Judge:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barak

“Barak ( “lightning”) was a ruler of Ancient Israel. As military commander in the biblical Book of Judges, Barak, with Deborah, from the Tribe of Ephraim, the prophet and fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel, defeated the Canaanite armies led by Sisera.”

*

Only in the modern era of the internet can masses of people obtain this knowledge about the original spoken Aramaic of Jesus. The statement in Luke 10:18 had no known bearing on His followers at the time. Therefore, it can be taken as a statement intended for us today.

*

I did not intend to detract from the plight of Pastor Hoke. This is to be expected. The Enemy, in the form of his LGBT and others, have infiltrated the churches to destroy them from within as well as from outside.

Some descriptions fit and others not so much. One common belief is that he will be a homosexual because he will not have the desire for women. That does sound like it COULD be our Barry.

I don't believe Obama was named after the general in the Bible (actually Deborah was the Judge - or Judge-ess. Barak was her general), but he was most likely named after the south end of Mohammad's phantom horse that flew him to Jerusalem one night (at least he did during his hallucination).

they really should remove the Christian identifiers from their organization

They already have. There's no word "presbyterian" anywhere in the Bible. It's a man made religion and a man made church. There's nothing Christian about it.

Matt 7:21-23: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

You are closer to the real likelihood than the posters insisting the congregation is full of evil satanist.

My guess is the congregation simply did not want to become the center of attention ala Baptist Church of Westboro. They had no problem with the sign until the response was a protest. Which means they agreed with the sentiments of the sign.

It’s a small town and people did not want to be caught in the middle of a Controversy just because their pastor wants to be provocative. This reaction is not unreasonable and says nothing about their Biblical beliefs. Many people don’t think their beliefs should be shoved down the throats of others.

Not unless I was at a Trump event, or am at home and can annoy my many Trump hating relatives.

Probably not a sin but definitely a DNA defect!

“Tolerance” was the buzzword 25 years ago. I saw it, I was there. Liberals use words apart from their meanings, to deceive people. Before that, it was “We just want to be left alone.”

Tolerance means to allow for the existence of other viewpoints without accepting those viewpoints. Instead, they not only demand acceptance, but also outright approval. We’ve come a long ways from “We just want to be left alone”. Now it’s “Bake the Cake MFer”.

It was then that I came to the inescapable conclusion that it was the leftists who are authoritarian control freaks. There’s nothing democratic nor tolerant about them. And it’s gotten worse and worse and worse every year since that time.

“I was informed that essentially all but one couple in membership would leave the church if I continued as pastor of TBPC.”

Take that one couple and go start a real church.

Also this outfit is not connected with PCUSA or PCA - it’s the “Bible Presbyterian Church.” The hierarchy (presbytery and above) appears to be Bible-believing.
