A pastor from Tennessee who said Democrats couldn’t be Christians because of the party’s pro-choice stance noted that he gave up his tax-exempt status.

Pastor Greg Locke of Mt. Juliet’s Global Vision Bible Church, close to Nashville, told his congregants he considered Democrats to be “baby butchers.”

In a sermon earlier this month, Locke said: “You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation. I don’t care how mad that makes you. You can get as pissed off as you want to. You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation. They are God-denying demons that butcher babies and hate this nation.”

On a Facebook post on Sunday, Locke said that he renounced his tax-exempt status and stood his ground regarding his stance on Democrats.

He added: “Guess what I did this week. I got an attorney, and I dissolved our stinking 501c3 in this church because the Government ain’t gonna tell me what I can and what I can’t say. So, IRS, we don’t need your stupid tax-exempt status. You can put it in a bag and burn it in your front yard for all we care. I renounced 501c3 communism in this church.”

No one is forcing you to STAY Catholic; are they?

[Elsie]

I agree with the pastor, its impossible to be an unrepentant sinner and still be a Christian.

I thought it is unbelief that gets us kicked out of heaven?

[Elsie]

What standard do we use to rank sin?

How does GOD do it?

...since this america, folks been thinking they are kewl, ...

WTHR Indianapolis evening news tonight was just all atwitter over the upcoming 'Gay PRIDE' events soon to be occurring in our city.

I think this preacher is divisive.

Good for him!

How many bad apples does it take to spoil the whole barrel?

[skeeter]

Perhaps It makes me a theological troglodyte and snake handling hillbilly but I simply do not believe one can be a knowing, unrepentant sinner and see the kingdom of God.

Frankly I did not know this was a contentious point of view among Christians.

[Elsie]

I think this preacher is divisive.

Well, he COULD wait until the tares are tossed into the fire, but how many wheat will have been trampled on before then?

When do you believe an individual gains a soul? One week, two months, nine months?

Genesis 25:23-24
The Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people shall be stronger than the other; And the older shall serve the younger."

 

Psalm 139:13
For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb.

 

Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..."

Well golly. How embarrassing that so many disagreements arise. If only the Holy Spirit had come in an unmistakable and preeminent way to a known group of people under recognized leadership, instead of all and sundry who claim his inspiration. I mean, how are we to know whom to believe?

Kinda ironic, isn’t it?

[Romulus]

I mean, I know you’re gonna say 1 Tim 3:15, but that’s just crazy talk. Surely everyone ought to decide these things for himself, right?

[Elsie]

and ravenous ones at that!

Matthew 7:15

Acts 20:28-31

[Elsie]

Your concern ver the welfare of the others folks is well placed.

One must be careful in ‘getting rid’ of certain bad apples lest the ripening ones left behind get damaged in the process.

[Elsie]

“so that his spirit may be saved.”

Needs repeating...

Shouting, even!!

“so that his spirit may be saved.”

[Elsie]

Where’s that church’s freedom of religion if they can now be taxed?

Whose image was on the coin?

Matthew 22:15-22

[Elsie]

AMEN! Brother!

Lord; have mercy on me.

[Elsie]

I did not KNOW this!

But; here it is...

Legalese word “art” is what it looks like.

[Elsie]

I’ll just betcha that 63,000,000+ silenced voices whispering in GOD’s ear agree with you.
