I went to church with Bruce Jenner. Here’s what Caitlyn Jenner taught me about Jesus. (Barf)

When I was a budding 21-year-old, I took a job at a church in Calabasas. It was a brand-new church meeting in a movie theater, and as I relocated to Los Angeles for my first service, I learned the Kardashian family were major supporters of the church from its infancy. At the time I had to Google their names to figure out who this celebrity family was. They had previously attended a much larger church in the area and met a very charismatic and prolific pastor there. He ended up leaving the church, thinking he would never go back to ministry.

It was Bruce Jenner who found this pastor three years later as he was working at Starbucks.

(Snip)

As the Jenner girls grew into careers of their own, there wasn’t a lot of time for the youth group. Kris and the girls stopped coming as regularly on Sunday mornings, as well, although Kylie and I would still joke around when they came for Easter and Christmas services. We moved the youth group from the Jenner home to my wife’s parents’ home and met weekly there. One thing remained, as odd as some of you may now find it…

Caitlyn stuck around.

She was there at church almost every Sunday, sitting in the front row and singing along to every song if he could. She would chat with me before services and make fun of how I wore sandals every day. I used to think that I was wasting her time before the service, Why would this Olympian/reality TV superstar want to talk with me?

Speechless as to how some people define "knowing Jesus"

But I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Mark: In true Lutheran fashion, I posit that many say they “know” Jesus with out the first knowledge of whether Jesus “knows” them.

Matthew 7:22 & ff: On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Bruce could use a study in the biblical/theological/ontological/etymological properties of Jesus’ words...THEN WILL I DECLARE.

It should be no surprise to anyone who will listens to what God has told us. Throughout the Bible we read of His high expectations. Not everyone is able to meet them. And those who won't meet God's expectations will hate Him.

How high are His expecations? Well Jesus had this to say to people who believed on Him:

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do."

If He were on the earth today, churches would cancel their services in order to crucify Him.

> They aren’t going after Mohammedans; they are after Americans. And we sit idly by while it happens.

Probably for show or out of habit but I doubt for a personal relationship with Jesus...just conjecture...

Well, quite a number of people do, but Christ warned that not everyone who says Lord, Lord, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Hopefully, those who aren’t in the right place will find a reconsideration and reconciliation of their ways.

These people need to be put to work in the fields. Then they will have less time for cross dressing and making sex tapes.

Did you catch the part where God burns cities to death because of them? I take his reaction to be a measure of his feelings on the subject.

Homosexual = Cities burned to death.

This person had a role in leading the church that failed Bruce Jenner. Nothing more to be said. Epic fail.

I just learned a new word today — “disinJennerous”.

One thing is for sure: Mental illness isn’t a sin. I feel sorry for him.

Many people are misleading him and using him; what they’re doing may be sinful. What he really needs is psychological help.
