No, Christ is not taught here. What is taught here is a mockery of Christ. And what message of liberation, forgiveness and redemption do any sinners receive in this church? None.
I have no doubt what they receive is a message that affirms their sins. Yes Jesus loves them, but He calls them to repentence so that they may have new life in Him.
Christianity is not just about some nice guy who had some pithy sayings that confounded the ruling classes and who accepted the downtrodden of society. Christianity is about Jesus Christ son of God, second person of the Holy Trinity and His saving death on the Cross. It continues to be a stumbling block. We do no service to anyone if we water down the Truth. This pastor is not giving milk he is feeding lies. Lies which will allow people to continue in slavery.
If this man was honest he would resign his post. For him to continue working for a church is rather like Jimmy Dean working for PETA.

How does that square with Christ’s Own words of Luke 9:50?
“And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.”
For your assertion to be right, this pastor would need to be preaching for his flock to oppose Christ. I don’t see evidence of that, do you? If so, where?
