I would not say weeping more like furious!
Jesus was Jewish. He didn’t have a church. Just disciples.
I cannot disagree with any of these...
#1 has been around since The Acts of the Apostles. Wake me up when they start burning ‘heretics’ again; I’ll wanna head start for good hiding.
#3 has been around for at least 40 years; the downside of mass media pastors like Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. Never pass up a shot at replicating a good business model.
#2 for the church has been a more recent development and one that I believe was fueled by worship leaders trying to create a comparable experience to full on production concerts by folks like Michael W. Smith, Third Day, or The Newsboys. It doesn’t even work in a mega church like Lakewood.
When someone gives credibility to systemic racism they lose me.
Good article however the author lost my interest when he threw “systemic racism” into his rant. IMHO there is no such thing as systemic racism.
Chances are He has been weeping since the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, when traditional Christianity was ended and replaced by an organized elite.
God told us that the world would fall to Satan and his anti-Christ. I think Jesus is too busy sharpening his sword in preparation for his second coming to weep.
