President Obama was criticized by Republicans for attending a church led by Jeremiah Wright, who repeatedly criticized the United States for being, in his own opinion, an evil terrorist nation. People wondered, how could Obama sit through sermons like that, year after year? Didn't that mean that at the very least, Obama didn't have any serious problems with what Wright was saying?
Well, we saw after eight years of Obama that that was probably true – that Obama saw America in a bad light. That's why he kept trying to "fundamentally transform" it.
But what about Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch? He belongs to a far-left church that embraces marriage redefinition, gun control, and the theory of man-caused global warming.
He belongs to St. John's Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colo., the Episcopal diocese of Colorado confirmed on Wednesday. Church bulletins show that the judge has been an usher three times in recent months. His wife Louise frequently leads the intercessory prayer and reads the weekly Scripture at Sunday services, and his daughters assist in ceremonial duties during church services as acolytes.
The first word that St. John's uses to describe itself on its website and Facebook page is "inclusive," and the church is led by a female rector. On its website, the church encourages members to write letters to Congress asking for actions addressing climate change.
That's not all. Its website also calls for members to lobby their congressmen for more gun control.

A little over a week ago, the world was introduced to Judge Neil Gorsuch, President Donald J. Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court. Ten days later, after multiple meetings with Senators, Republican and Democrat alike, the support for Judge Gorsuch is incredible.
Here are just some of the positive things Senators had to say after meeting with Judge Gorsuch:
“I would encourage all of my fellow Senators to meet with him, give him a fair shake. He deserves that.” –Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT)
“I know he has a stellar record from the standpoint of his pedigree, how he came up through his education process, everything about him.” –Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)
“I will push for a hearing and I will push for a vote.” –Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE)
In all, eight Democrat senators have stated publicly that Judge Gorsuch deserves a hearing and a vote. Judge Gorsuch is bringing Senators together on both sides of the aisle.
No. Any sin except the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit - which is:
” the conscious, persistent, stubborn, unyielding refusal of someone who was at one time a believer to acknowledge his or her sin, be sorry for it, and desire God’s forgiveness in Christ.”

Thus “sheep” who croon about feeding and clothing the homeless per Mt 25 - but who persist in their endorsement of homosexual perversion are still subject, as succinctly and repeatedly documented by the CDC, to the DUE PENALTIES for their perversions - both temporally and non-temporally.
They’ve rejected grace and perverted it into a self-destructive permissiveness; and the good works described in Mt 25 into idolatrous and defiant worship of themselves.
Satan, his cadre of fallen angels, and their temporal followers can not restore themselves by wearing sheepskin and feigning the conditions of Mt 25.
Ignore what anyone else may or may not say about Matthew 25. What is absolutely and essentially crucial is to understand why ***Jesus*** said what He did.
Wearing the sheepskin of Matthew 25 does not negate the due penalties documented by the CDC, liar.
God forgive you.
I’m not the one wearing “fantasy” sheepskin, Wolf.
Ignore what anyone else may or may not say about Matthew 25. What is absolutely and essentially crucial is to understand why ***Jesus*** said what He did.
I’m not ignoring Jesus, wolf.
Unlike you, I read Matthew 25 in the context of the rest of what He said.
The passage in question is not about good works. Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 13 the futility of good works for the sake of good works.
I believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. He died on the cross the give me life, both now and in eternity. I am His servant, and belong wholly to Him. Hadn’t you better check with my Master, to see what He thinks of His servant, purchased with the price of His own precious blood, being name-called?
Romans 14:4
Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make himstand.
Stuff all that fantasy straw back in your pants.
Meanwhile in the real, non-fantasy, world - Christ gave a clear definition of Marriage between one MAN and one WOMAN.
The DUE PENALTIES FOR PERVERSION documented by the CDC are a direct result of the willful disobedience of that commandment.
RTFM
‘Stuff all that fantasy straw back in your pants.’
Not seeing anything here urging or commanding Christians to utilize nastiness/snark in their personal interactions:
Colossians 3:
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
If the sheepskin fits, Wolf -
Matt 7:15-19 15 NIV
“Joshua Goodbaum served as a clerk for Gorsuch in 2009, and now works as an attorney. He told Reuters on Friday that on the week of his 2014 “wedding” with his partner, Gorsuch expressed his support.
“He said, ‘This is a wonderful thing. You’ll see how your relationship grows,’” Goodbaum recalled.
“
Fruit, Rotten; 1 fantasy basket full.
You have been too busy with your false accusations to have the remotest idea what I believe. First you project lies onto me, then you condemn me for the falsehoods you originated. This is sin.
Jude 6-7
7
In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
NIV
Do you believe that Jesus, in Matthew 25, made the case for homosexuality? You are acting as if you do.
Rom 1:27-28
27
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.28
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.NIV
The only passage at issue is the division of sheep and goats as taught by Jesus, and recorded in Matthew 25. How you can read legitimization of homosexuality into the words of Jesus is simply amazing.

Evidently not, fantasywolf. Gen 13:10 13
NIV
Matt 11:20-24 20
NIV ” the conscious, persistent, stubborn, unyielding refusal of someone who was at one time a believer to acknowledge his or her sin, be sorry for it, and desire God’s forgiveness in Christ.”
"because they did not repent"
It's worse than that. Gorsuch belongs to the craven uninhibited far-left judiciary that has usurped our Constitution/sovereignty. He's so in-the-tank that he criticized Trump before he is even confirmed. I find the appointment of almost any lawyer to the SCOTUS disheartening and demoralizing.
