Here's an inkling of how degraded this modern society has become - America specifically. It's a good read for Christians. If you're not, don't waste your time.

End Times Ping and well worth the read.

Methodists?....................

I worked under these types of people in a well-known Christian denomination (don’t ask, not even in FReepmail, I won’t say who).

They taught the complete opposite of 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 and pimped one of their professors with a PhD who told them all was good.

That passage could not be more clear. The Day of the Lord will not come until that man arises.

Yes I ran into some of these recently what I term as “New Age Christians”...I did my best to refrain from involving myself in these people’s conversation till they were joking it up about the aborting of babies as being ok in the Gospel. Being a Bible expert I scooted my chair over and made a few points to this so called “pastor” who was carrying on...Turns out he was not much of a Christian after all...

It must be comforting to be so confident that one can sit in judgement of other people in a diner.

In my religion there was something about a speck in my eye, but a log in yours.

But now we KNOW so much more. Now we have SCIENCE, which explains so many things that were mysteries to the Bible writers.

There are two theories on what the Bible is about.

1. A book written by men about God.

2. A book written by God for men.

Apostate Christianity tends to think it is the former. That is why they are able to dismiss the more "inconvenient" parts. After all, Did God really say???

I’ve been a believing/practicing Christian most of my life. In all that time, I have only met perhaps two female “pastors” who were actually Christians. Most were like the woman described in the article.

A fair share were lesbians, most were virulently anti-Christian/anti-male/anti-Scripture. Two stick out, one was a leader of the local LBGT movement (an Episcopagan). Another in another city whose house we got invited to after a presbytery meeting, when we walked in it was filled to the brim with Wicca and New Age stuff (e.g., she was a witch). You know, spirit catcher wheels, crystals, weird candles, halloween-type decorations. She made no bones about it and said her favorite holiday was Halloween. That was when I was an elder in the PCUSA (am now gone).

Basically, with that lifetime of experience, I will not go to a church where a woman is pastor.

Since most mainline denomination pastors are now women, that tells you the state of churches in America. The first thing a woman “pastor” will will do is chase out all the men, so all you have left in the congregation is elder congregants who are 80 percent women (widows or angry divorced), and a handful of LGBT folks—mostly in the choir or doing “creative things” during the service. The old people are just too old to do anything to object or to move (many are in wheelchairs) and they are literally getting their life and money sucked out of them). You know these churches, the ones who have de-patriarched the Bible and the service, and who pray to the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer, whoever the hell they are. And then they all have to have the mandatory rainbow stoles, vestments, flags and banners all over the place.

Most American mainline churches are completely controlled by Satan.

Let's see. Which Bible test does this clerical-garbed lady pass? "We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death." I John 3:14.

Or,

"17 Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. 18 For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. 19 For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." Romans 16:17-29, bold face emphasis supplied.

There is no need to be tactful. Be direct and truthful. The folks you witnessed are on the fast track to hell.

[taxcontrol]

I find that there are a whole lot of “Christians” that think they know more than God’s word.

”...and nearby was a lady pastor”

There is no such thing.

[Bullish]

Think like this lady and end up getting permanent separation from God. She’s free to choose that path.

"It is interesting to note that the rainbow — the symbol the LORD chose as His covenant with us — has today been hijacked by the homosexual lobby." Very good essay. Sad but true. I had a lady neighbor in Berkeley in 1995 who studied to be a lutheran minister and wore the priest's collar only for the gay pride parades in San Francisco. I also talked with her regularly, since she was my neighbor, and discovered that she was a narcissist focused on how superior she is even to Catholic priests who invented her collar. And yes, everyone in the neighborhood hated her and she knew it.

I also remember how an exorcist wrote about a possessed man and told him that yes, he was possessed. The man said, "I know. And I am glad." Wow. Some people just run to hell with a big smile and will be shocked to find that there is no escape from the unhappiness in hell.

Excellent article! Worth going to the link and reading the whole thing. The world we are living in right now is far worse than with Noah before the flood as well as with Sodom and Gomorrah. Time is growing very short and Satan is on a tear because he knows his time is coming to a close! There is going to be persecution against those who stand for decency and morality as prescribed to us in the word of God. When everyone else does what is right in their OWN eyes, hatred against objective truth will run rampant. Be prepared!

Actually, when we start learning the science behind the bible, we will have finally become coherent.
