There is a certain type of Christian who eagerly embraces leftist policies, either implicitly or explicitly, because they think they can create the kingdom of God on Earth, and thus enter heaven without having to face the terror of death and judgement. It's not even the leftism that's the problem with these Christians, but their desire to immanentize the eschaton. They think not only can their actions force God to move up his schedule, but that they're to be praised for trying to do so. Elevating themselves above God. The hubris of thinking that they can make this world perfect through human action. You enter into the Kingdom of Heaven through Christ, not through the works of man. Ultimately they are cowards, above all else, believing that their meekness and willingness to give away not only their birthright but that of others will compensate for their sins. They are terrified to face God, and cling to leftism in the hopes of making a pantomime of God's kingdom without having to die and stand before him.
The Social Gospel movement has been a disaster for both Christianity and the United States.
every socially progressive movement in American history was justified by christianity. The concept of socially conservative protestant christianity about 50 years old at best.
You now realize the kingdom of God is just hell since it's full of thieving murdering angry smelly stupid brown people. Oh and Jews of course.
>>540910048Leftist organizations exist to train LGBTQ pastors on how to infiltrate the church and use their rhetoric to subvert the Christian message. They make the greatest inroads in protestantism because most denominations have zero central authority and pretty much anyone can slip in and become a pastor somewhere. Ironically this is also one of the ways jews infiltrated several major protestant sects with dispensationalism and turned them into Israel worshippers.
>>540911647Simple as.
>>540911647Yeah, that's accurate. But it wouldn't be an effective tactic if this strain of cowards didn't exist.
>>540910048Not that Catholics are any better, but they’re more rigid in what they follow, and a Church’s recognition by the Roman Catholic Church can be revoked. Typically, Catholics are more conservative and follow traditional values. Protestants however (despite how based Martin Luther was), seem to be easily infiltrated. Whenever I see a rainbow flag on a church, it’s always a Lutheran church. I don’t even know who they appeal to? Is there lefty Christian group that always supports current thing?
I think it is ok to have gay sex and incest as long as you believe in Jesus
I think all churches turn into shit over time and have to be purged by young men who aren't afraid of being called rude. Situations where a church has a mix of real Christians and fake Christians just make things more complicated. Protestantism is really just a confederate model of Christianity where you can easily leave behind a rotten church establishment and build your bubble of people you trust. That's cool because it's more likely to survive those Biblical end times. Or any bad times.
>>540910048Most of the "churches" here fly the kike tranny flag.
>>540914386You wouldn't be having gay sex and incest if you believed in Jesus and are going against everything he taught by doing so. And he'd hate your guts.
>>540910048You don't know the half of it
>>540914944I drove past a church in Ogunquit, Maine that had pride flags attached to every surface and window of the building
>>540910048Kek, is this a premillenial pietism vs millenial pietism thread? That's so quaint. What's your stance on alcohol prohibition?
>>540910048mexicans love church...the sunday plate needs pedro
>>540915719How are miggers justifying Trump dumping more Haitians in the rust belt and Appalachia (where there are literally no jerbs)? I haven't had time to keep up with the board(s) lately
>>540916098No idea, I don't know any IRLAll the Trump supporters I know have pretty much gone silent about politics
Churches are inclined to virtue signal if they aren't credible in their ordinary business, if they are all talk. Sometimes it's a ploy to attract younger parishioners, a constant battle, or a concession to Bolshevik kids who won't attend their own parents church services. Sometimes it's a sectarian thing where between two churches, they figure they might just split everything so both get 50%. If the Catholics like sourdough the protestants like rye.Church politics is awful and as churches no longer have significant political influence also not worth participating in
>>540910048Hang on, isnt political activity grounds to lose tax exempt status?
>>540916319This is actually a manifestation of a retarded shitflinging contest that has been going on in the US for more than a century between millenial pietists, premillenial pietists, and postmillenial liturgicals. It's not a new thing, and it's always been this cringe. Whenever one of the pietist factions gets enough sway in politics you get shit like the civil war or alcohol prohibition.
>>540910048The UMC is just another example of what happens when a church stands in authority over God's word because parts of it are "problematic" and make us feel convicted in our depravity. A slippery slope that does not fail.
>>540910048America believes she is her own creator

>Another anti-Christian thread from the jew
>>540919218your thread is dying you stupid fucking kike.
>>540914282There are infiltrators that get into the ranks of larger denominations and come to decisions that follows the current thing. If the church has lady pastors it caved a long time ago.
>>540914282Like to add that often dramatically shifting doctrine means many churches leave the denomination if it's offensive enough to them which is what occurred in many protestant churches. Thousands of churches had to leave their denomination over the rainbow heresy.
>>540919218I recreated the image in higher quality, enjoy
>>540910048>don't do anything to improve the world you live in, just wait and you'll be rewarded in heavenwhat a pathetic cuck religion, no wonder feudal lords taught it to the peasants
>>540919793We improve the world we live in by being a living example of God's grace as best we can. In the interactions we have with others we try to manifest how God would want those interactions to go.
>>540910048US based Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, and all Protestantism went bankrupt two decades ago. These churches sold themselves to government welfare to pay the bills. Only The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, some Jewish enclaves, and Amish have independence today. Sorry.And while we're on the subject, these same failed Christian denominations have routinely and shamelessly begged us Mormons for welfare from our Bishop Storehouses and Humanitarian Aid centers, while taking in fed dollars via NGOs. And what thanks for we get? SLANDERED!!DISENFRANCHISED!!ROBBED!!FIREBOMBED!!SHOT AT!!!Should mention plenty of us Saints are now concealed carry at all times.
>birthrightIt's not leftism. It's humanism. Patriotic Christians aren't going nowhere but down, and you should be terrified of God.
