@ Rbkwp and Malakos
Sorry, You are (WRONG), Rbkwp. They accept everyone. God is a merciful being. Vehicles of faith are never a bad thing. For some, who have come from a religious background, they can take comfort in a church that will offer communion. {In the past, Catholics who were for whatever reason, (as the reasons my be myriad), ex-communicated, could not receive sacraments. Where would they go? }. Would you not allow someone to repent? Would you not allow someone to make amends? Would you not allow someone to get closer to the divine?
The (Proof), is that god allows the church to exist. . . Just like god allows the Adversary- Evil to exist, so we know what good, Is. And God allows us to exist, because we are his children too.
truth be known its quite likely some of the members could be the worst offenders of his word ever a very foolish statement you have made there, damaging to believers .. the sort of thing that cults/sects stem from ..
I think you damage the ministry of Jesus, for not remembering how merciful Jesus, and God really are. Then,. . You cast judgement upon people who go to the MCC?? Isn't that a Sin of Hubris? Have you ever been to one of their services?? I have.
These (offenders) you speak of. . do you Know them? Personally?? What right do you have, to cast judgement upon people? The only being who has that Authority is not mortal, so sit back down please and don't say I am damaging faith. Shame on you for judging me.
Take a step towards Jesus and God, and they will take 2 towards you. Shame on you, for not allowing people to repent for sins.
Do not get me wrong. I am not Judging you here, because I know better. I am only responding to your action and writing.
I urge you to please take a moment to reflect on your own words you wrote above. If you really believe, Why would you say anything that would detract and separate anyone who may be taking steps to be closer to the divine? Shameful.
The Divine would not allow such a Church to exist in his name, if he did not agree with its existence. Logic would dictate from old testament, that if it were heresy it would be smitten. After all, didn't God utterly destroy the towns of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Geddon. The same could be said of our existence in general. If we were not his children, and he cared not for us. . we would be gone already, and there would exist a Utopian society without LGBTQ, and or the concept of Evil, at all. There is a reason for our existence in his creation. I am Sorry. . but I just Can't agree with what you wrote in your responses above mine.
Also, Nothing I wrote indicates politics. I am talking about faith. I understand there are some nutty religious based political organizations. Just check out the American Tea-Party, and the Republican Party in general; If you want to go down that road. . but my point, never was about politics.
