It's all fake. Ignore and ridicule the PC crowd.
Those who are perishing can repent, in which case they will bring for the fruit of repentance, or they can stick to their guns till the end, in which case we should not expect them to have a high opinion of sound doctrine.
We are not called to be considered of good repute to the lost, we are called to speak the word both in and out of season.
Guess what: to those “out of season” they are likely to resent God’s word.
And that’s THEIR problem.
Another Fake Christian heard from.
New York Times bestselling author Preston Sprinkle …What a horridly suggestive last name. Never mind his un-Biblical pontification on behalf of the god of this world.
The most loving thing a Christian can do is to rebuke the sin in someone’s life and then point them to Christ as their salvation.

So do you believe that Adolf Hitler could be in Heaven after repenting? Josef Stalin? Mao?
I have an in-law who has been almost entirely disowned by his family for being unwilling to support homosexual couples within the family. One particular woman, who claims to be a Christian and sings in a church choir, made it a point to attack him viciously on social media.
Yet she showed her supposed tolerance by taking her children and attending a so-called homosexual wedding. This woman claims she disagrees with homosexual marriage but is supposedly showing her Christian love and compassion by being part of this.
This is the ultimate hypocrisy. Tolerance for sodomites but not for fellow Christians who are taking the vile hatred of the left for standing up for traditional Christianity and morality in general.
Instead of criticizing those who take such a public stand for Biblical morality, maybe this guy can just show us how he is doing such a great job fulfilling the “Great Commission” apparently without including a strong call to repentance.
I’ve never heard of the Nashville Statement but I suspect it’s guilty of telling the truth about the Bible’s perspective on homosexuality. To today’s liberals, such truth is entirely unacceptable.
I tell people God is very “old school” and if you expect Him to change, you’ll be sadly disappointed.
If there are other gracious answers we can be giving and we won’t — then it’s our problem again.
I question the legitimacy of any Christian leader who uses the term “LGBT community” other than in quotes.
The “LGBT community” is a group of people who have chosen to be enemies of God, Christ, and His followers.
There is a big difference between ministering to individuals who struggle with sexual sins, including perversions, and trying to be accepted by a “community” of people who are in open rebellion against God and His revealed word.
So....Biblical ain’t good enough? This yutz knows better than God? Oy.
Modern Christendom may in fact be so new school that it can’t look under the hood. It needs to be Jesus school.
"The Church" didn't issue this statement. A handful of protestant pastors did.
Or knows something about God you’re ignoring?
We can be quite frank about the distortions of love and the need for love that lead unto sin without being superficial about their rightful place. People sometimes confuse being Christian with being genteel, and thus know no proper avenue for the lives of people with great capacity for passion.
Yes
Absolutely or the Bible doesn’t mean what it says.
Yes, because Jesus died for every single one of us, because God’s grace truly is amazing (not to mention incomprehensible to us mere humans) and because His mercy endures forever.
We seem to be living in a time of increasing confusion and disorientation which makes it increasingly difficult to rely on the current teachings of some of our religious leadership.
Probably a good idea to to read and re read the bible and study older traditional and now “obsolete” sources and try to sort your own way through.
Unfortunately, this may bring one into conflict with the new leadership as they are very insistent on people affirming their contemporary view and draconian when it comes to enforcing conformity with their new and novel interpretations of scripture.
