A pastor from Tennessee who said Democrats couldn’t be Christians because of the party’s pro-choice stance noted that he gave up his tax-exempt status.
Pastor Greg Locke of Mt. Juliet’s Global Vision Bible Church, close to Nashville, told his congregants he considered Democrats to be “baby butchers.”
In a sermon earlier this month, Locke said: “You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation. I don’t care how mad that makes you. You can get as pissed off as you want to. You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation. They are God-denying demons that butcher babies and hate this nation.”

On a Facebook post on Sunday, Locke said that he renounced his tax-exempt status and stood his ground regarding his stance on Democrats.
He added: “Guess what I did this week. I got an attorney, and I dissolved our stinking 501c3 in this church because the Government ain’t gonna tell me what I can and what I can’t say. So, IRS, we don’t need your stupid tax-exempt status. You can put it in a bag and burn it in your front yard for all we care. I renounced 501c3 communism in this church.”

My kinda Pastor!
He’s right.
But its perfectly fine to boot conservatives from social media and ban them from payment services
GET OUT YOU DEMON!!! Best funniest thing I have seen in awhile.
What about RINOs?
There are Republicans who support abortion. They should be put on the list as well. Then it would be non-partisan.
Americans United For Separation of Church and State calls for wut.
Oh, oh. Somebody’s running off the plantation. What kind of traction is this investigation going to get if he’s renounced tax exemption status? Or is it the investigation itself that’s the punishment?
He’s wrong. It’s entirely possible to be a bad Christian — a sinner. Almost all of us are just that.
Oh, yeah: 1 John 1:8. You’re welcome.
If I wasn’t Catholic, this is where I’d want to go to Church…
Freedom of association as well as freedom of religion.
Finally a Pastor that speaks from Scripture. It hasn’t always been this way, but the democrats I know hate Christ.
This pastor doesn’t seem too “woke”!
Sounds like Fr. James Altman.
His boss was decidedly displeased.
Unfortunately.
I love him. We need more of him.
I can’t think of one liberal democrat Christian I know, but I know MANY liberal democrat atheists....many.
I agree with the pastor, its impossible to be an unrepentant sinner and still be a Christian.
I would not argue with your statement. I would say that many people call themselves Christians but do not act at all like Christians. I dont mean by being sinners. I mean be turning away from God and His Word. Advocation of abortion seems to me to be shunning God, which is an evil a level above succumbing to temptations of the flesh (booze, lust, or other selfish behaviors that fall short of Gods desire for us). Just my opinion.
