Being forced out of your church by your denomination for being obedient to Scripture.

That’s some church.

RE: That’s some church.

They may call themselves a church, but in reality, they are a church NO MORE.

Luke 6:43-46

It is a great honor to follow Christ, and no dishonor at all to be forced out of an apostate “church.”

Sad, isn’t it? But also encouraging to see him stand firm regardless. So few ever do that.

“Depriving same-sex couples of access to matrimony materially and substantially impacts their spiritual, emotional and physical well-being as people of God.”

Think about a religious group that supposedly believes this, but will only deign to marry their homosexual members if the state they happen to be in first gives its permission.

Bishop Love has a resume ding in the eyes of liberals.

And a resume enhancer in the eyes of Christians. And most importantly, God the Father will tell him well done good and faithful servant.

Church of Satan and an honest Christian.

I wonder how many times you had to read the headline before you believed it said what you thought it said.

Think of all of the Episcopal churches that are led by someone in a “same sex marriage” contrary to Scripture.

Yes, I said led. Church leadership.

Does he get burned at the stake for his crime? Or is that still a thing?

Correct. I left six months ago. I was holding out, hoping that my Dallas Diocese would split... but they decided not to. But it was VERY close.

Bless Bishop Love. I believe he is still a faithful bishop in the sight of God.

Understood. Pcusa has similar evil problems. As do many additional churches-gone-bad. If a pastor or bishop peaches or teaches for mass scale abortions, homosexual “marriage” or other obviously evil practices, it is just about the worst thing possible. Because the church
Is supposed to be a reliable source of moral values, imho. Up until recently, millions of non- Catholics including many very anti-Catholic people still respected the Catholic Church for teaching core moral values. Wolves in sheep’s clothing have infiltrated many churches, alas. At the very least these evil clerics should take down the crossEs From their steeples and stop pretending to be Christian churches anymore. False advertising

The National Presbyterian Church of Washington, DC had leadership that approved of abortion. Louis Evans approved of abortion. Didn’t approve of “excessive” abortion but he did approve of it. Earl Palmer, who led the First Presbyterian Church in Berkeley, CA ended up in the leadership over there. Don’t know what his views on abortion were.
