The heretical so-called Protestant churches in my hood all have #blm and other overtly radical-left signs and banners donning their buildings and yards.

It's really sad. I don't want to hear politics at church. It's why I left my last Presbyterian Church. And it was PCA at the time. It was probably the most culturally liberal PCA church in the country. Which I liked. But the pastor, whom I still love and respect, just went off the rails with the "we are all racists" stuff. It started really distracting from the Gospel. I guess I can see how "those he foreknew" can get bastardized into "those he predetermined to be racists," but I'll pass.

Why are they trying to ban assault-style rifles?

Glad I'm a Baptist.

Not only that, but also a letter to a single church. I've not met any theologian who think that passage is a universal application to say that women can't talk in church.

The United Methodist Church has been basically taken over by a pretty radical element. How this came about I am not sure but there are a lot of good people that should break away and leave this so called church to wither on the vine.

Learn from their mistakes and never let such a thing happen to them again.

People should just read the Bible themselves and stop listening to so called theologians. I have always believed if God left an instruction manual for how to live your life why would he make it so complicated that you need experts to decipher it for you.

If you believe the Bible is the Word of God, and the Bible says women should not be vocal leaders in the church, how do you say that wasn’t meant for everyone?

I suspect that there is going to be a divide (or schism as it would be called if it occurs) in the not too distant future. Some conservative Churches have left already. I don't know what it will be called or how you divided up property among congregants but unless the General Conference reverses some of the more radical decisions of late, the conservative Churches will leave and a new Methodist derivative will be created. My Church is pretty conservative but even then, I can't imagine it not getting ugly for at least a while.

I guess they never been shot at by Eastern Europe bank robbers who had the best stolen weapons and body armor money could buy. All they had to protect themselves was a small fire arm.

If they went through this I bet they would change their stance.

I guess they they do not understand why a fox goes after a hen house to get his meal versus a field full of cattle along with protective bulls.

One thing I noticed in my latter years of church attendance was how many husbands were there under protest. Religion seems to appeal more to females and the husband knows that if he doesn't show up for the wife, the pussy gets cut off for a day or two. Once the kids are on their own, church attendance is prone to drop off for a house hold. Once the divorce happens, the male goes back to doing what he really wants to do on Sunday mornings. The divorced females? A number of them go back to church, particularly after they hit the wall in age, as they have no other place to turn to.


Very common in the SJW and evangelical churches I've seen. It's turned into a very effeminate religion like that. Thank God every day that I am a fundamentalist in a church full of gun owning, hunting, KJV using Baptists.
