Methinks it has to collapse before rebuilding. The gay infection is now stage 4, and pretty much nothing can be done until the host is near dead. I never thought this would happen to the church of my youth, but progressive “thought” destroys all it touches.
And sooner or later we (no matter what faith or not faith) who actually value societal progress will have to confront it directly.
And forcefully.
Very forcefully.
The stories that come out make one wonder if there’s a Manchurian Candidate sent to undermine the worlds longest lasting institution.
John 10:They're not shepherds. They're "hirelings". Or maybe they're thieves and wolves ...
7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. 9 I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd;[a] I know my own and my own know me, 15 as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.”
There is no great virtue in bargaining with the Devil !!!!
