today was talking to some one who belonged to my denomination of religion and rather then saying he was a good Christian he said he was proud that he was a leftist and so was the members of his church that’s when I confessed to being conservative and guessed he had no clue to the politics of members of his congregation becouse most conservatives dont want to get into ridicule’s arguments with him.

I submit the folks opposing Franklin Graham are not Christians, have not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, and are tools of Satan. These are among the same fools and idiots who oppose President Trump. Baal worshipers.

Just a point of order, if you please.

The 17k would be the chaff.

I would suggest that one should follow the money, to see were these whiny little b!tches get their funds from.

Suspect these people are strongly linked to the typical socialist ecumenical “churches”. The ones that quit preaching Christ decades ago and now are more concerned with social issues.

A few of our successes

Working together, Faithful America members have:

Removed the Jim Bakker Show From Multiple Networks: In February 2020, the Jim Bakker Show dangerously implied that a discredited “silver solution” it sold could cure coronavirus. Nearly 18,000 Faithful America members sent petition signatures, personal letters, and social-media comments calling on DirecTV, DISH, and Roku to protect public health by asking their channels to cease airing the show. In response, DirecTV-owner AT&T asked its networks to review the program in light of FCC regulations, and two promptly dropped it from their lineups.

Convinced Google to Drop World Vision: When World Vision — one of the world’s largest Christian relief and development organizations — announced plans to stop discriminating against gay and lesbians in 2014, they were met with a furious outcry from the religious right. World Vision quickly reversed themselves, so more than 17,000 Faithful America members called on Google to find new Christian partners that don’t discriminate. Within days, Google’s director of corporate giving resigned from World Vision’s board of directors.

Helped Students Win Justice for Fired Gay Principal: When hundreds of students walked out of class to protest the firing of a gay vice-principal at a Seattle-area Catholic high school in 2013, we amplified their message with 20,000 signatures, personally delivered to the archbishop by students and alumni. A week later, the school’s president resigned — even while a lesbian teacher came out and kept her job. From Indiana to Georgia, Faithful America members continue to speak out whenever religious institutions fire LGBTQ employees for how they were born or who they love, sending a potent message to parochial schools nationwide.

Defeated the Fracking Industry with Catholic Sisters: When the Sisters of Loretto, a Roman Catholic order in Kentucky, refused to allow the fracking industry to build a dangerous pipeline on their land in 2013, 30,000 Faithful America members joined in signing a petition in solidarity. Local religious leaders delivered the petition to the governor’s office, making state and national headlines — and plans for the pipeline were eventually halted.

Defended an Unjustly-Defrocked Pastor: Pennsylvania United Methodist pastor Frank Schaefer was put on trial in 2013 and defrocked for officiating at the wedding of his gay son. After local Methodists made headlines with a petition signed by 35,000 Faithful America members, his bishop publicly committed to do everything in her power to prevent future trials, helping prompt other bishops to make the same promise. Schaefer himself was ultimately reinstated.

Pressured MSNBC into Dropping the Family Research Council: FRC, which the Southern Poverty Law Center named a hate group for spreading outrageous lies about LGBTQ people, has long exerted a poisonous influence in the media. Seeking to delegitimize the FRC as a legitimate representative of Christianity, we mobilized more than 20,000 members in 2012 for a sustained, months-long campaign — including petitions, phone calls, and in-person events — that ultimately pressured MSNBC to stop inviting the FRC’s president, Tony Perkins, on the air.

Because the god of this world(the devil) has blinded people. And on the Christian side has been passive to the point of silence; not wanting to risk their comfortable living to stand up & defend the Truth. How long were they gonna make nice & turn the cheek to the devil?
Hope that doesn’t last much longer.

Faithful America is a Leftist inspired “Christian” organization.

They - they are the petitioners - represent no one but themselves and their own agenda, not any particular body of “Christians”.

You can go to their site and look at what they call their “accomplishments”.

So the Pharisees and Sadducees strike back. Franklin Graham and President Trump have the courage to say what we’re all thinking.

Infiltration of every influential institution has been their most effective tool. Academia, media, the internet once it began to be widespread-the church and the military were the last large conservative bastions-they’ve quickly made inroads into those now. The Christian remainder isn’t called a “remnant” for nothing. The infiltration has now been successful enough that they can openly begin the next stage, the purging of conservatives and Christians from our very own institutions. Before they’re finished, the true church will be underground in America. They know not what they do-they’ll be very surprised when we’re gone and the antichrist shows his true face.

How do they have the power to tell parochial/private Christian schools who to hire/fire? How is that not infringement of religious conscience? Or were the schools involved inclined to move that way anyway?

Suspect they leaned there anyway and needed cover of a slight push.

Telling that their web presence has no mention of the gospel, or Christ.
