OP: Here's my advice for your journey. Don't become the guy complaining about how everyone else does it. The very fact that you're attending RCIA classes to become a Roman Catholic means some people, including fellow Christians, will gladly judge and complain about..... you.[/quote]

Thanks for the advice, it's a good point.

And? False teaching is false teaching and sin is sin. This is unrepentant, blatant so that this alleged 'church' is partaking in. I simply avoid such a church as the Scripture tells me to. So you wish to call sin good and good sin I do not an I am fine standing on the Word of God. Thanks.

Truth matters. Always. God says He is truth and yet we see in this forum so many alleged Christians call Him a liar. Let God be true and all men be found as liars.

As long as these church are obedient to the call of the Lord and people are being saved . there is not a lot people can do to change to band wagon , as churches which are not obedient will eventually close their door , as there is No power from Jesus for dissidence , as in Acts 17:11....obedience is better than sacrifice ......................Still if church were to have a set of rollers installed so people could get in and be baptized , , then many would roll right out to other churches who do not baptized anyone ,....................................... quote fast food churches....

As long as you judge false teaching by relying on the words "written in ink" instead of those God has "written in our hearts" under agape love and the guidance of the Comforter . . . you will err. You reject the New Covenant and continue to rely on the Old "written in ink" and stone. You do not trust what is in your heart because your mind has been indoctrinated into the "precepts and doctrines of men" and you do not believe that Christ the Living Word of God ACTUALLY abides with us. Those who believe Christ instituted the New Covenant DO trust our hearts and the guidance of the Comforter in agape love. Agape love is our standard for testing the Spirit of everything . . . not words "written in ink" by blind minds from reading the OT.

2 Corinthians 3:14-17

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail (ignorance) untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail (ignorance) is done away in Christ.
15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail (ignorance) is upon their heart.
16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord (Jesus), the vail (ignorance) shall be taken away.
17Now the Lord is that Spirit (agape): and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

The most hypocritical part about this, is that the church that created this video, has the exact type of service and church that is its making fun of.

Actually, you don't even KNOW what they teach. You've judged them and reached your conclusions.... based on a FLAG.

You would have appreciated Joe McCarthy. He reached conclusions about people using the same methods.

Seriously? What else could it possibly mean? Do I have to walk in there and ask if they actually meant to hang a Christian flag and got the orders mixed up? Come on.

They proudly display the homosexual flags to make an undeniable statement to all who see it. Homosexuality is embraced here. It is a clear rejection of God and one day the leaders of that church will not only answer for themselves, but all the people they lead down the path of destruction.

Wrong.

Again/still.

It is embracing your Christ's command to love your neighbour as yourself.

Fundavangelists always seem to forget that one.

Sadly it is you and those who think as you do who will be doing all the "weeping and gnashing of teeth" for the lack agape love you held in your hearts toward others. It is such a sad state of mind to perpetuate.
