They should changed their name to the Church of Humanism because that is what they are.
No, humanism has great appeal worldwide though it is a proven failure.
And one of those married, religious Western Isle preachers (Wee Free, not CoS) was recently caught by his wife with at least 7 mistresses, some of whom were married. The preacher took the coward's way out. Took him two tries.
Of course many in the community blamed his wife. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/689606/widow-of-lewis-reverend-found-hanged-quit-island-after-flak-over-flings-claim/ . So they may be conservative and religious, but the reaction does make me wonder how Christian they are.
And maybe the Free Church of Scotland will no longer be the “Wee Frees”.
The Free Church of Scotland is very conservative. They split from the Church of Scotland for about the same reasons the OPC and the PCA split from the Presbyterian Church USA - liberal theology.
John Knox is rolling in his grave.
There are three. The Church of Scotland, the Free Church of Scotland and the Reformed Church of Scotland, and might be one more?
The later two are strict and conservative. One of them, I forget which, is called the Auld Steelies.
everything now is for convenience, for a quick resolutions, letting anything fly....
sort of glad I'm 63....I feel very bad for my adult children and my grandchildren...
Scotsman already wear skirts : )
Joan was Noah’s wife.
Indeed, there are folks rabid to regulate and control every aspect of life that isn’t sex or contribute to having more sex (like abortion) ... those you dare not touch!
The homosexual Marxists infiltrated ALL major Christian churches by the 30s—so they could destroy Western Civilization (Christian worldview in children) from within, and remove Right Reason and Natural Law so Freedom is Slavery, Boys are Girls and Up is Down—for their “utopia” where a few elite psychopathic sodomites will make sodomy of babies “Good” again like in pagan days—along with killing them (sacrifices) and torturing them—like the old pagans for their occult rites of Ba’al worship.
For the One World religion, Chrishulam, they need to control every thought, idea and desire you have, so they have to have the children and sexualize them early so that they will be incapable of individualism (Free Will). Vice creates slaves for the State (dysfunctional addicts). In 20 years, they will have all little children chipped in the West, so they can control all their emotions-—like in Brave New World.
Ba’al Rites is what Hillary does in her back yard parties, as Wikileaks revealed and her pals, the Podesta’s and obamas.
Truth will set us free. Sodomy needs to be made a felony again since it is so corrupting and leads to Sodom and Gomorrah always and the Weimar Republic and the Afghanistan culture where sodomy of boys is “normal”—to groom them for eternal slavery.
I await Francis’ condemnation....lol.
Nice try, but no cigar.
“...Play Dixie for me....”
I’m referencing an old survey of folks entering seminary.
It is also said that, in the same survey, they answered that the epistles were the Apostles’ wives.
I don’t know if you’re familiar with Dodd’s autobiographical School of Darkness, but it’s small wonder, teeny tiny actually, that the commies were able to make inroads the way they were.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to complain about fishing for his food and you’ve got a lifelong Democrat voter.
