When I first read this article, I thought, "You're kidding, right?" Unbelievable.

As the Man said, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Glorious Hope? H-O-P-E? Sounds like Obama would fit right in there.

There is no hope without the resurrection of Christ.

“By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3

I see churches in my hood who do not/refuse to display the Cross out of fear they will offend someone.

or in Ms. Vosper acronym, TAWOGFAT, The Authoritative Word of God For All Time – but a human project filled with contradictions and the conflicting worldviews and political perspectives of its authors.<

She can call it that, when she retitles her book FATASS, For All Time, A Simpering Sophistry

Ms. Vosper has written a book, published this week – With or Without God: Why the Way We Live is More Important than What We Believe

Without repentance, there is no forgiveness of sin.

If Gretta Vosper really believed she would heed this but it is a fulfillment of Peter’s prophecy:

The world has two choices - you can believe in the son of God and join with the faithful in his church or you can hang with others who play church.

“She said it would take only a single vote of a presbytery – a local governing body of the church – to bring her before the church courts if a complaint against her”

So how does one go about doing that. Personally I think this twit and her adherents should be burned for heresy.

It’s all about change you can believe in...bwahahahaha... this is truly sad, but the Bible warns against going with every wind that comes along. I noticed the church was referred to as “progressive” sounds like LIBERAL to me!

I had people all this week wish me a “Happy Holiday”.

Isn’t it EASTER? What Holiday? Now you can’t say Easter. I made sure I replied by saying “Happy Easter to you”.

They might as well stop calling themselves Christians and rename their church to a branch of the Unitarian Universalists.

Liberals demand to be called "progressive" because they are ashamed to be called what they are: liberals.

Why don’t they call themselves a mutual admiration society and quit the facade?

Better to believe in God and find out you’re wrong when you die, than vice versa.
