Following an LGBT protest the sign was vandalized, prompting Pastor Hoke to repair it and re-post the sign.
Pastor Hoke said, I was informed that essentially all but one couple in membership would leave the church if I continued as pastor of TBPC.
what’s interesting about this, imho, is the location of Weed, California... a small rural area town .. hundreds of miles removed from San Fransicko (and even farther from Lost Angels)
if a church’s parishioners don’t want to hear the Bible taught or preached, that’s their privilege.. but they really should remove the Christian identifiers from their organization....its false advertising to claim to be a Christian church and then refuse to have your pastor read the Bible to you
“the provocative message”

Hmmm..The media usually uses the now-meaningless term “controversial” for “normal” instead of “provocative”.
That bunch, except for the one couple, was not worthy of him.
Sounds like his congregation has already let the church, at least in spirit. If your christian congregation doesn’t like what the bible says, maybe they should start their own church. I suggest they name it The Church of I Hope the Bible is Wrong. Because if it is correct, that word abomination is not going to be so easily over looked at judgement time.
Not shocked that the town of Weed, California would do this.
God bless America, except for California.

Sounds like a place that you’d wanna be glad to kick off it’s dust and leave.
“He feels modern society has changed the definition of tolerance to conflict with the Bible.
That’s a pretty good summary of what has happened.
Oh no. He told the truth from God’s Word.
Drive him out!!!
This is just one example of thousands like this across America.
Think The Lord isn’t taking note?
Most haven’t been paying attention apparently.
Isaiah 1:18-20
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
...and, so it continues. :(
Well done, good and faithful servant.
I wonder if the harshest judgement will be levied against those who pervert the word of God?
I believe that The Lord may have more important work for Pastor Hoke.
He has set him free from this den of thieves masquerading as Christians.
Is this church affiliated with PCUSA or EPC?
Pastor Hoke should NOT have resigned.
My first concern if I were a member of that church is that such proclamations might cause violence against the church or its members.
I don’t support the gay lifestyle but I’m not going to wear a sign saying so.
God bless this pastor. Shame on the Satanists.
Mexifornication is lost.
Seems that this pastor would be just fine in the Midwest or the South. But he should understand that the East and West Coasts are basically a lost cause.
