So many church leaders have either: forgotten why, or don't know why God's laws exist. God's laws exist to protect and promote His most precious creation-humanity...

I am Episcopal and Bible believing. I regularly fight the good fight and get beat down by the Pastor (and congregation). I get made fun of for believing in basics: Mary is a Virgin, the transfiguration of Christ, ect. When even the Priest is saying things like: You don’t really believe in that? What chance do I have? Last week they were stating that the SBC church down the road is "hateful" because they don't have female pastors. I argued that a church having different policies does not make a church hateful. I got yelled at. I have tried to form coherent arguments based on the Bible and Church Fathers. It is futile and rebutted with: I feel like God is ok with….. The Protestant Reformation is based on Sola Scriptura and they are throwing out the Bible for feelings. It is madness. The Father at my church is great in other ways. He has helped me learn how to deal with grief. But, in regard to spiritual matters, I have realized he does not believe in the Nicene Creen when he recites it on Sunday Morning. The lack of reverence and fear of God shows up in lots of little ways. I am starting RCIA classes Tuesday. The Episcopal Denomination is not a place for me to grow in. I am sad about this. The Episcopal Church was the faith home of my Grandmother and I thought it would be mine too. But, here I find myself.

The united methodist church abandoned the bible a long, long time ago. Decades.

The LCMS had its issues in the 70's. Fortunately, those who don't hold to the inerrancy of Scripture left!

These churches are getting too involved in worldly things, and not in Godly things.

Thanks for your talks. You don't pull your punches. It's awesome.

I think that 2 John verses 9-11 applies on the bigger - church - scale as well as on the individual person scale. If you encounter a church that gives a different teaching, keep right away from it, unless you are sure that the Lord wants you involved with His putting it right - pray like mad for clarity on what God wants you to do. But never be tempted to compromise on what God wants for you and for the church.

Reason 4 = Money. Churches with weak leadership and declining funds, will go 'big tent' with the belief that by making the demands less, more will join. Yet the fact is this always has the opposite effect and money declines at an even faster rate.

Evil triumphs when good men do nothing!

Truth is Love. God's Word is Truth. True Love is to care for the Eternal Souls of people, by telling them the Truth. People cannot Confess their sins until they acknowledge what their sin is. Confession leads to Repentance and that to Deliverance. We do no good, but rather cause harm, by not telling the Truth. The problem with the Alphabet crowd is that for the most part they will not acknowledge their sins, but instead try to modify what the bible clearly and consistently says about our genders and sexual practice. If we are to be Christians we cannot disagree with what God says in His Word, that goes for all of us. In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus makes this clear.

One main reason: DISPENSATIONALISM. It teaches retreat and defeatism. It teaches that the church is doomed to fail. It teaches that Jesus will return any second.

I'd say it's usually ONE reason...sheer cowardice...

Praise the Lord my church is not woke! The great falling away from Christ is happening now within some of these churches! They have turned away from God and His word! We had Christians from the Southern Baptist Convention at our church two weeks ago and they were not happy about what was going on within the Methodist churches. We need to pray for these people that they will come back to the Lord!

SBC is going the same path as the Methodist just slower.

Oh, so love is love eh? also, Hell is Hell, your choice.

Family empires, they want the financial support and community support over any basics of the Bible teachings.

You tell it like it is Pastor and you know why wolves in sheep's clothing that's why.

The reason this is all happening is because God prophesied in the Bible that these things would occur. If these things did not happen as God said they would then the Bible would be wrong. And we can't have that

Not sure what woke means but not my church. I go to a KJV home church. Ya the churches of today are going the wrong way. Also they use watered down bibles. This is why so many don't go to church these days.

Money! Money! Money! These buildings of sin were never churches to begin with! False teachings and biblical illiteracy!

When they allow female pastors that is when the end begins.

And by the way! The homosexuals and others are saying Love Is Love but the life they live is not nothing to do with true love it is unnatural acts of sex and desires off the f l e s h.

Put your hands to work and your heart to God - get to work on that exterior wood trim behind you. It is falling apart and needs repair. After that paint it and the rest of the exterior trim. Then you may find compassion for all of His Children

My church isn’t going woke. Thank heaven.

Not to mention the ELCA…🏳️‍🌈

Pretty sure the Bible is woke. Love thy neighbor.

Yes you can be LGBT and Christian 👨‍❤️‍👨
