@ksorbs 46% of PCUSA churches have 51 or less active members. 22% have 25 or fewer. They have continued to have a net loss of members and churches for two-decades.
@Suzzzzeee1@ksorbs It was 2010 in my town, and we are on the Evangelical side of it. The PCUSA church we left is dilapidating and their parking lot on Sunday is virtually empty, while ours is growing and we need more parking space.
@JenniferNPeitz@ksorbs As I said to someone else. The PCUSA church in my town is dilapidating in front of my eyes. Their parking lot on Sunday is near empty, while my church down the street is growing. If they want members, maybe preach the gospel.
@SayTenEyesInJC@ksorbs False equivalency and you know it. Welcoming someone who has done something and wants to repent is very different from the Church declaring that something that is clearly wrong is right.
@BillyJack_o_bee@ksorbs The PBUSA church that is near my church is empty every Sunday and their building is dilapidating before my eyes. It's actually a church that was built before the Civil War. Meanwhile ours is growing. If they want members, they should go back to the truth of the gospel.
@SlowToWrite "Jezebel was probably a virgin when she married Ahab." Maybe, but princess of a Ba'al worshiping priest is probably the greater red flag. Ahab didn't marry her thinking she was a godly woman. That's the problem. He ignored her past because of his disordered sexual appetite.
@IsabellaMDeLuca If you mean like- like, that's not always true. I do caution men not to try to be friends with a woman they like in hopes of the woman changing. As long as they can accept the purely platonic relationship, it can work.
@ConceptualJames Stop apologizing to these wackos. Lindsey is right, this is all a power trip. They pushed and got acquiesce, and instead of saying thank you, they pushed for more and more. Line drawn. Queer Theory delenda est.
