How Did the Church Become So Complacent, Celebrating Drag Queens in the Pulpit?
Disntr ^ | June 21, 2024 | staff

As I was doing my morning reading, I was pointed to this article at Religion News Service (RNS) praising and celebrating the abomination of drag performances in churches, particularly, in the pulpit. This abomination is a clear indication of the modern professing Church’s utter degeneration. I know they say that there is nothing new under the sun, but this sure seems like a new invention.

I can’t think of a time in history when the professing Church was so celebratory of sexual immorality. Perhaps, though, this is exactly what Paul was addressing in 1 Corinthians 5 when he addresses sexual immorality in the Church—“a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans.”

It is astounding that so many so-called churches look absolutely nothing like the sacred institutions they claim to be, yet they brandish the name of Christ. Their Christ is a false construct—a permissive, indulgent figure who winks at sin, sexual perversion, and blasphemy.

The path to this deplorable state did not materialize overnight. It was paved by weak-minded men who shirked their duty to lead with biblical conviction. Over the decades, these feckless leaders, much like the Evangelical leaders we have today, capitulated to the demands of the culture, allowing secular ideologies to infiltrate and corrupt the Church. This led to an ever-increasing acceptance of practices and beliefs that oppose the clear teachings of Scripture, namely, the abominable spectacle of women in pulpits—always a foot in the door to apostasy.

The Church’s willingness to tolerate false doctrines has only expedited its decline. In their futile quest to be deemed “inclusive” and “progressive,” these professing churches have welcomed all sorts of heresies and perversions of the gospel, from the prosperity gospel to the social gospel. And they have embraced the lie that God’s truth can be molded to fit the cultural zeitgeist, rather than standing firm on the unchanging Word of God.

God’s perspective on such blatant apostasy is unmistakably severe. The Scriptures are replete with examples of His wrath against those who dare to defile His name. Look no further than the narrative of Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10:1-2—struck down by divine fire for offering unauthorized worship. Or the stern rebuke given to the church in Thyatira in Revelation 2:20 for tolerating the false prophetess Jezebel, who led believers into sexual immorality and idolatry. These are grim reminders that God is holy and just, and He will not tolerate the perversion of His worship or the corruption of His Church.

The professing Church today is in a state of egregious rebellion against God. It has traded the truth of the gospel for the lies of modern secularism. This tragic exchange has led to a gross perversion of worship, from the subtle emotionally charged charismaticism to the abhorrent drag sex scenes now being performed and celebrated within its walls.

God’s judgment on those who bear false witness and take His name in vain simply can’t be overstated. In Ezekiel 22:26-31, He condemns the priests who profane His holy things and fail to distinguish between the holy and the common. God’s wrath is always ultimately poured out upon those who claim to be His people but live in open rebellion against His commands and this should be a sobering reality for the professing Church today.

What’s that old saying?

Turn or burn!?

In light of these biblical truths, it is clear that the professing Church stands on the precipice of God’s righteous judgment. The falling away we witness is not merely a deviation from tradition—it is a wholesale abandonment of the faith once delivered to the saints. God’s patience has limits, and His righteous judgment will not be delayed forever. As He declares in Galatians 6:7, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”

I'm not surprised that it's the Unitarians. I am surprised that it's in Red State Idaho.

Unitarians? Hardly a religion. Just a cult for the guilt ridden to say “I am spiritual, not religious” on their gay dating profiles.

Well, they had to give up molesting their altar boys, so I guess that someone felt that we should "throw them a bone."

Incredible!

ANSWER: Revivalism, which started 40 years BEFORE the Revolutionary War.

Pastors warned us about it, because their minds were much sharper than ours are now, and they were able to detect the shift in theology. American theology today, is not what the Founders and colonialists understood it to be.

I commend the book “Revival and Revivalism” by Iane Murray.

Infiltration. The Communists have done it for decades.

They believe the Church is to come to them. Not the other way around.

Drag is as much a mockery of women as blackface is of blacks.

Maybe even worse, because of the sexual perversion overtones involved in it.

I have NEVER met a single woman who dresses like drag queens do in mockery of women.

You must have to want to go to Hell pretty bad to stand at a pulpit displaying every form of blasphemy against God you can think of. I don’t know what this guy is saying with his mouth, but every other part is saying “Hail Satan”.

Unitarian Universalist is not a Christian church. Neither are any of the “churches” that sponsor this Satanic crap.

The older I get, the more I understand why there was an Inquisition. It would take a complete destruction of heresy, or the complete destruction of society, to cleanse ourselves of this filth.

[I can’t think of a time in history when]

Maybe we're almost at a certain new point in history? Time will tell.

I think we're watching Luke 17 here - as it is prophesied for such a time - now it doesn't mention the sins directly, but He specifically chose "the Days of Noah" and "the Days of Lot" - They were still going about "normal business / normal life" is made quite obvious

Even thus shall it be in the Day
when the Son of Man is revealed...

Take a look 5 seconds in - this (apparently) is Kirk Franklin and group performing for Joe, Kamala, et al.

What do you see with the dude on the Left? (ahem...) - You see how they are defining “gospel music” and what they want to show to America and the world.

”American theology today, is not what the Founders and colonialists understood it to be.”

It still is in the ‘Reformed” churches. Reformed churches are a group of Protestant denominations connected by a common Calvinist system of doctrine. Reformed theology emphasizes the authority of the Bible, the sovereignty of God, and covenant theology, a framework for understanding the Bible based on God's covenants with people, a belief that Christians are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed by Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. An example is the Presbyterian Church USA (PCA).

Because the one pictured is a false church proclaiming a false gospel based on the presumptions of a false christ who knuckled under the falsely undertaken authority of a false government to become the state's religious organ for forgiveness of taxes on the portion of a person's earned income rendered to that organ for the upkeep of its buildings and acolytes.

A true gathering of regenerated followers of the Living Christ need not apply, for such local centers that assemble for God-blessed genuine worship and service will never be popular, but rather rejected and persecuted by the faithless worldlings in their wicked allegiance to the god of this age.

God is not mocked. There will be an ugly conclusion for that.

Is that a man or an unattractive woman? Very strange but I’m not surprised this person was put front and center.
