That's exactly why they should go to church. None of us are perfect and never will be. Churches are full of sinners...each and every one of us. Some admit it, though, and some do not.

Because I can disagree with someone and not hate them.

I get the rationale for "I have no problem with mature adults doing X", but it is incredibly spineless and amoral.

Wait until we split up and find a Global Methodist Church. It will stick with the traditional Book of Discipline. The progressives with be called something else.

The same reason we go to churches that support divorcees, obese people, tax cheats, speeders, liars, gossips, etc. Don't forget Jesus hung out with tax collects and sinners, not Pharisees. Be careful you don't become one.

We do and they are quite welcome in our congregation; just not in leadership roles.

Avoid all woke churches. These churches are preaching a false faith.


Go to the scripture for answers not liberal media.

A practicing homosexual is by definition, a habitual sinner, and therefore, not repentant. To love or welcome an unrepentant sinner into the church does neither the gay person nor the church any good.

I don't know about the average person in the pew, but the Southern Baptist leadership is woke AF.

Depends what church and what location. Though most Southern Baptist churches belong to an association, they are basically autonomous and their leadership and doctrine is more driven by the pastor and not some corporate creed.

We love and welcome unrepentant sinners into the church every week. It’s one of the key ways to bringing them face to face with the conviction of the Holy Spirit. We do not affirm their sin.

If they have an Israeli flag out front

is not the same as this...
quote:

I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse

The former statement pertains to the modern state of Israel, whereas the latter quote is in Genesis and relates to God's promise to Abram and his future descendants. Not the same at all; in the New Testament "Israel" is often called the Bride of Christ and is a metaphor for the Christian church, who are the true descendants of Abraham--the community of faith, thereby fulfilling God's promise.

The modern state of Israel has nothing to do with the Promise.

We all sin most every day. You eliminate sinners from the Church, there would a whole bunch of empty buildings on Sunday (or Saturday if you happen to be Seventh Day Adventist or Messianic Jew).

My wife's uncle and grandmother were at church a few weeks ago and the pastor started in on the greatness of BLM and the LGBTQ stuff. They walked out.
