The part I find most ironic about this article is this....
Most/many mainline Churches are NON Christian, most/all of NY Times readers that attend Churches are NON Christian, so I do not quite get the point.
A good test might be this...have you asked Jesus into your life, have you thanked him for dying on the Cross for your sins, might be a good starting point.
If you vote Democrat, you spit on Christ, you are saying killing 60 million plus of God`s children is just fine, you are saying that the Word of God (Christ) should be banned from the classroom/public square, and you are condoning and teaching young children (the ones that are not being aborted) that a homo life style is OK, even though GOD HAS SPOKEN VERY CLEARLY ON ALL THESE ISSUES.
a vote for democrat is to spit on Christ!
I don't think that's the case. Most mainline churches believe the gospel. They agree on the nature of God and the nature of salvation. They place their trust in Jesus for forgiveness of their sins.
I think you've become too cynical about mainstream Christianity based on the crap that the MSM focuses on.
When you look at the size of the denominations that have embraced homosexuality, you find that they are small and since their abandonment of the scriptures they have shrunk dramatically.
Nice job of cherry picking there. "Mainline" doesn't include the growing numbers of Evangelical Christians.
"By the end of the 20th century there were nearly 100 million Americans who identified themselves as "Evangelical Christians," according to a Gallup Poll in 1995."
