This is weird. I can’t imagine any church I’ve been a member of doing this. The list includes AG, Baptist, Foursquare, Christian and non-denominational. None of them would even entertain the idea.

You might want to investigate that thoroughly - Churches are rapidly accepting sodomy in great numbers.

You have to get into the details. MANY members will say that nothing has changed.

But if you research the activities of the Churches and their leadership and their public statements of their policies, you find widespread equivocating on the topic, if not broad acceptance.

The corruption of Churches happens from the top down, a little at a time, starts out on an intellectual level then proceeds slowly towards general acceptance throughout the leadership hierarchy and only then is step-by-step imposed on the rank-and-file membership; the "people" (sheeple) are the last to know that the beliefs of their Church have changed out from underneath their personal beliefs.

I belong to what people would call a solid, largely traditional evangelical congregation. While there seems to be no support for getting rid of standards, it's also true that THE ONLY TEACHING that I (or the kids) have received is "love the sinner, hate the sin." That is ALL. So is homosexual activity sin or not? Tens of thousands of congregations have de facto decided to follow a neutral course on this. I understand that our sermons should not be continuously dominated by social issues of the day, but NEVER EVER address homosexuality?

The corruption of Churches happens from the top down ...

Bump. These "conversions" to corruption and paraphilia are being accomplished by a gay seminarians' cabal that has been active since the 60's and before, when San Francisco churchmen offered to "mediate" community "conversations" between homosexual advocates and activists ("homosexualists" if you will) and the community media at large.

It turned out that the churchmen posing as "mediators" were in fact homosexual themselves and part of the players' "crew". The whole business was, and still is, thoroughly corrupt both intellectually and morally.

The churches the corrupt clergymen came from were the same ones that are in the news now.

This is the harvest that those bad prelates and presbyters have brought their churches, because other, honest clergy were incurious, or in the dark by deception, or looked the other way.

Like the good old boy said, this can not be good, this is going to be bad.
