He’s kicking them out for not agreeing with God. However, he’s probably ready, willing and able to welcome them back should they repent. If a pastor doesn’t purge unrepentant evil, he is then allowing the church to condone it. If a congregant is unsure of something like abortion, he should discuss it with the church leaders and members who are well-versed in Scripture. We may not all agree on which hymns we like to sing together, but we should be agreeing on what is clearly told to us by God.
Danny, you are mixing up Christians that have repented and turned TO God and those that are unrepentant and are rebelling against God. There is a huge difference and you need to know that.
interesting that you call war evil but abortion isn’t. THAT is unbiblical
Yep.
Investigate what? The church can do what it wants. If the parishioners dont like it they can leave. Freedom of association.
I’m sorry , a political affiliation Is Not a protected class.
Republicans have been kicked out of many of venues and no one gave a rats ass in the press.
> interesting that you call war evil but abortion isn’t <
Oh, sorry. I thought that was understood. Abortion is the greatest evil of our time. It is akin to the evil of slavery from 200 years ago. This is something I have mentioned on other threads.
i’d agree with him if he had said uniparty (there are plenty of gope abortion supporters).
still, God protect him because he may catch some flak even in God Lovin’ TN.
Christianity is "divisive" because it preaches truth. You can have your lukewarm and "non-divisive" faith, but it's not Christian.
Not “woke”, just awake.
Either way, you cannot serve GOD and Baal at the same time. Either you follow Christ or you follow Baal, you decide.
I chose Christ.
Now I may not kick them out of the church, but they will not be called a brother in Christ until they resent of their sin of worshiping and sacrificing to Baal.
As such they are not allowed to participate in communion.
Plus, they better be ready for me to preach even Sunday that they are as much as sinner as Jeffery Dahmer was for being gay, killing his queer one night stand lovers, and eating their flesh.
If they can come to church every Sunday and hear me say that about them, then they can keep coming, but they are not Christians, and they will be told that every week.
He doesn’t need to have a registered 501c3 to be tax exempt. The State doesn’t have the right to tax the Church, it’s already in the law and was the case at our founding, prior to any agency known as the “IRS”. Even the 501c3 law states “EXCEPT CHURCHES”.
This has been used to muzzle the Church for too long.
okay. I was confused when you said this:
“This makes those folks wrong. It does not make them evil”
Those individuals aren’t there to see the light, they’re there to undermine the church and the pastor.
Why should he renounce his tax exemption?
I see lots of churches involved in politics and they don’t tax taxes either.
My bad. They’re black churches supporting liberals.
Trump wanted to rescind the Johnson Amendment, but it did not get done. Had he done it, Biden would have reinstated it anyway:

PREACH IT, SIR!!!!!!
I knew I recognize the pastors name but couldn’t remember anything about him. Anyway search him on the Internet and find out for your self what type of preacher he is. I kind of think of him as some one who goes to the extreme to get attention.
he’s lumping all Democrats together as evil beings. He dead wrong about that.
Please explain.
This goes beyond just a matter of doctrine.
It’s not like abortion is a disputable matter as Paul references in Romans 14.
Abortion is murder, plain and simple, and a very gruesome, inhumane one at that.
It is not a matter of just opinion.
Read about what God has to say about the Israelites who murdered their firstborn by burning them alive to Molech.
He’s right on this one and I wish more pastors would take such a stand to protect the lives of the u born.
