Rachel Held Evans is a completely obsessed about queers faghag.
Because it is NOT about them only. They are the ones hitting "the real world" and starting to realize the world does not revolve around them excursively, and frankly most are intolerant to anything that does not.
Did the first Church accept such things? No; they preached the Gospel, and they knew it would not be a popular message.
Churches who adapt to Political Correctness end up dying. But the poison is to sweet to avoid.
Is inviting Satan to join the choir the Christian thing to do?
When millennials are head of the church instead of Christ, it will no longer be church.
If homosexuality is not a sin, then is there such thing is any sexual sin? If there is no such thing as a sexual sin, then how serious are other sins such as pride?
If we are guilty of committing few sins and those we commit are not serious, then why do we need Christ or the church?
Millenials have more authority than the church, so the church must follow the Millenials?
If Gertrude Stein accused Hemingway’s generation of being The Lost Generation, I can’t imagine what she’d call the millenials.
I’d just call them the Illenials.
No Church that follows the word of God can accept gay marriage or abortion. Even though much of America has surrendered to the abortionists I believe abortion is a more serious matter. America is now drenched in the blood of millions of its aborted babies. This is not the blood our country needs to be soaked in right now.
The one saving grace here is that all this foolishness makes it easier to figure out where the real churches are.
I am a church going Catholic, indulging in the homosexual lifestyle is a Mortal Sin! We are talking about Eternal Damnation. Accepting the “gay” lifestyle and same sex marriage is dancing on the edge of going to Hell.
The question itself presupposes that churches are no more than entertainment businesses that have to tailor their “basic tenets” to whatever draws the most customers.
obviously not, but based on the millennials I’ve talked to, they nearly unanimously think being gay is just fine and dandy, so that’s why the churches are doing it. And some of the national denominations are being told to do it by their hierarchy. That’s why for example, many UMC churches have the fag flag flying.
it is not up to a church to “accept gay marriage” (sic!)
a Christian church cannot accept ‘gay marriage” (sic) and remain a Christian church
see Bible.
(some good Christian church needs to file a lawsuit or trademark complaint case ... against any formerly Christian church which “adopts gay marriage” for any reason — let’s at least have these outfits adopt honest labels, names for themselves and STOP trying to masquarade as Christian churches anymore.... they can call themselves Homosexual Recreation Centers, Male Pleasure Palaces, or even “Gay” GloryHoles..... whatever they want .... as long as they stop calling themselves Churches!)
Better question: Should millenials change their support of sodomy to avoid offending a holy God?
If they want to die like the PCUSA
Guess those churches won’t condemn any sin then...don’t want to alienate the sinners. So then pastors can commit adultery with a member of the church, divorce his wife, shack up with that pig then marry in big church wedding. An offense to God welcomed by apostates.
The purpose of the church is not to “attract” anyone. It is to worship and serve The Lord Jesus Christ faithfully and obediently. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to draw (”attract”) lost sinners to repentance.
Fixed it.
Ask the Episcopal Church USA, Presbyterians Church USA, United Church of Christ, Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, etc., how their membership rolls have been since they "embraced same sex marriage". Any "millennials" beating down the door to join those "churches"
They shouldn’t be concerned about attracting men, they should be concerned about living by God’s Word.
Some of the wisest words I ever heard about evangelism were - you have to catch the fish before you clean them.
Change the heart (spirit) first, and a lot of these sinful desires fade away. Religion has been fighting in the flesh. We win war in the spirit. Preach the Word, love the people, and let the Holy Spirit do its work to change the folks.
