Our society is moving further away from God. This action is a rejection of Christ and a turn to humanism. The turning to secular-humanism is an evolution to the total rejection of God and the eventual persecution of Christians.
We need to teach our children to be strong because they may have to face this persecution. The fact that this is happening in a “church” is suprising now, yet one day may be totally expected and common.
“Be not afraid”
No I believe people are scared to say Happy Easter.
It’s followed by “Alleluia, Alleluia!”
“Nowhere do we tempt so successfully as on the very steps of the altar.”
—Screwtape, “Screwtape Proposes A Toast” by C. S. Lewis
So why even call yourselves a “church”?
2 Timothy 3
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11. Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Ms. Vosper is a throwback to the late 1800’s when all sorts of people were coming up with forms of desacralized Christianity. She’s repeating history as farce.
The West Hills Hopean Church.
I'm not at all surprised, and neither should you be if you believe Jesus' own words. He foretold the apostasy that would come to prominence in the last days of this dispensation and eventually pervert true Christianity throughout the world, culminating in the false, perverted "church" of the AntiChrist and his false prophet sidekick.
I have glorious hope that this church has a big enough lightning rod.
God is not mocked. What a man sows, that shall he reap.
This is humanism is yet another form.
And destined to the same end.
The fool has said in her heart, there is no “intervening all-powerful authority who must be appeased to avoid divine wrath.”
How long before we have the Holy Church of the Indulgent Hedonist. (community orgy wednesday at 7:30 pm)
“She says there’s been virtually a consensus among scholars for the past 30 years that the Bible is not some divine emanation”
Vosper needs to keep better company. These windbags have been around for much longer than 30 years and their hermeneutics are as pathetic today as they were 1900 years ago.
If their product wwere more tangible they would be arrested for fraud.
Look around and you will find many that do not have Cross displayed inside either.
It’s very interesting how new and innovative theology, dogmas and forms of worship get started and justified. Wonder what causes that?
I don’t mean this as accusatory to any Protestants who ARE faithful...but this article makes me VERY glad to have Benedict XVI!
She can call it that, when she retitles her book FATASS, For All Time, A Simpering Sophistry

The new theology is started by wolves. Wearing sheepskins.
