You seem determined not to get the biblical message of saving grace for the repentant individual.
True
A pretty neat trick. "We love you...now get the hell away from me."
I see you live up to your handle.
Sound advice
Your counsel of course is biblically ‘right on.’
Thanks.
You better believev it! Thanks.
Yes. Jesus gave us the right to analyze the fruit on another’s tree—good or bad.
Sound analysis. Thanks.
Thank you particularly for this: “Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15”
And Christ said “I am the Way, the TRUTH and the Life.”
Well of course they loose numbers. They aren’t having kids and so must rely solely on converts to keep the thing going.
The more a worldly church welcomes the worldly, the more the worldly conclude they don’t need the church.
When a worldly church preaches that all sin is okay, why should an okay-ongoing-sinner get up to go church? Sleep in makes sense.
Good one!
Errr. Given the thread title are you sure that is the choice of words you meant to use ? LOL.
And the devil’s beat goes on and on. . .slide down and down and down some more. . .and we know where the final “down” ends up.

Your links in #36 are from USA Today and National Public Radio, both of which are known for their left-wing wish reporting. They’re America’s versions of Reuters.
“What is happening now is that even the moderates in the mainline churches are becoming fed up.”
...yep, absolutely right...and it’s getting worse.
“History may not exactly repeat itself, but you can hear similar tunes.”
...I think so....homosexuality is the new slavery....next up on the back burner will be the mother-of-all-issues:
Will the Christendom resist the global ambitions of Islam?
“Why 1960? That wasn’t even on the radar then.”
1960 is a pretty good starting point...the Greensboro lunch counter sit-ins were then...the birth of the Civil Rights era....and thus began the Presbyterian Church’s interest in opression and victimization...that interest has now become an obsession...they see it everywhere.
