Lawsuit.
How is helping people who want to have a God-sanctioned sexual relationship - people who come WANTING the change - not Glorify God? What in the prior 37 years was wrong?
“God is calling us to be the Father – to welcome everyone, to love unhindered.”
Huh?!?
Sooooo, they have a file on Exodus, too? Why would they flip like that? “Welcome everyone to love unhindered”? What sort of PC, NOT Christian nonsense is that?
As you said so succinctly, “HUH?”
I can see the call to love as God commands, but the Word most clearly condemns homosexuality.
This “all you need is love” philosophy is popping-up in a number of churches.
Follow the money. There has been a payment.
Great. We were warned about such.
What a pansy.
yep....somebody’s got something on somebody else....just as well...
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
Using this "leader"'s logic, then, we can continue to be drunkards, swindlers, covetous and idolaters...and still inherit the kingdom of God.
We are saved through grace, and YES, we are all sinners.
AND Jesus commanded us to "go and sin no more". That is the obligation of the child of God...and to continue in persistent impenitent sin is not the behavior of someone who, according to Scripture, will inherit the kingdom.
In addition to the fact that God is absolutely NOT calling us to be the Father. We’re to emulate Christ and obey the Word. The Father is who He is - alone - and a source of adoration and worship. This sounds pretty ecumenical and new-age.
They flipped because the new leader, Sullivan flipped it. Keep your eyes on him.
Sign of the times - the last days. When apostasy spreads everywhere.
Campus Crusade for Christ - one of the leading evangelical organizations there is - drops the “for Christ” because it offends and is not politically correct. Sorry, the cross of Christ is an offense.
Day by day we see churches and “para-church organizations” falling.
It will only increase.
But we should be encouraged, looking for His coming........
This is like surgeons recognizing the rights of diseases to exist and changing course on operating to remove them.
Believe it or not, they've changed their name to "Cru"--whatever that means.
Good grief.
