Rest assured that FBI-paid hackers are busy loading up all the pastor’s computers with insurrection-speak and child porn...
A church does not have to be “non partisan” in order to have tax exempt status. It is tax exempt b
because it is non profit.
he’s not wrong. you can’t support death of the innocent or homosexual marriage (or a number of other things that GOD commands, and call yourself a Christian. This guy has the right to tell them they are apostates
you can still go
Preach it, bro.
it’s funny that black churches can and do say anything they want that’s political and no one ever says a word
this pastor is doing it ‘by the book’!!
i forget which ‘letter from Paul’ it is, but yup,, you calll out the offending one, privately, read him the numbers, watch to see if they do differently, and if not, bring himbefor the congregation, and finally, ask them to leave, IIRC.
since this america, folks been thinking they are kewl, keeping their politicss outside the building, and no one would care, sinnce how they vote is s’poseed to be a tbing betweem them and their god.
so this pastor is doing it, well.
i admire the cancellation of their 501c!
You can certainly go if you want to. What’s stopping you?
Wait that's not quite right is it? What they must agree on is the two core principles of Christainity: Who God is, and what is His plan of salvation. Everything else is secondary.
The question of "When does life begin?", is not an essential question to Christianity.
To me, It's an important question, there are lives at stake in my opinion. For I believe life begins at conception. Other's aren't sure whether lives are at stake. Some think not. Some don't know.
But I don't believe their salvation hangs in the balance on whether their views on abortion are correct. I think they can be wrong on abortion and still be saved.
I think this preacher is divisive. He is not serving his flock well. Tommoorow it will be some other issue, and he will kick more members out.
Democrats campaigning for the presidency and other national offices routinely give campaign speeches from the pulpit of Black churches.
When do you believe an individual gains a soul? One week, two months, nine months?
Great job
true
Salute!!!
you are completely WRONG. You cannot support doctrine opposite of God and it not matter deeply to HIM. This is the wicked kind of mindset that has led to the crumbling of our nation.
I believe life begins at conception. That flash of light that occurs shortly after the sperm fertilizes the egg. That in my opinion is the knitting together in the womb that God refers to when he says he knew you before he knit you together in the womb.
Everything after that is growth.
But not everyone agrees with me. And not every Christian agrees with me.
I think we should be preaching the Gospel for salvation. Along the way we should also teach passages such as John the Baptist leaping in the womb at the approach of Mary. And the one I referred to above about God knitting us together in the womb.
It’s fine for that preacher to stand up and say based on this I believe life starts at conception. And abortion stops a beating heart after day 22.
But when he kicks people out of the church because they don’t agree with him, or don’t agree with him yet, he makes a very poor example of pastoral care.
Thank You Pastor !!!
God bless this man!
There are a lot of fake Christians out there playing church who will inherit eternity with pagans, apostates, and evildoers.
You mention the question about “when life begins” being an important one due to lives being at stake. Agreed.
There’s an even more relevant question where more lives (souls) are at stake:
Do I follow God’s Doctrine or the Devil’s?
2 Timothy 2:15 covers it:
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,3 a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
A true Christian has no excuse and will be held accountable for their beliefs/actions.
If he’s being divisive, he’s doing it to rid his congregation of the wolves.
If you don’t like murdering babies, you are now political and lose your tax exempt status.
