Gltb Church

[Goldie]

I am so upset right now I don`t know what to do. I just moved here June 2nd. On the way home from work today, I saw a sign in a church window, for their website, and when I came home today I looked it up.

It had a section marked GLTB. I went in and read it. It was about what the Bible says about gays/lesbians, transgenders, and bisexuals - ALL LIES, of course.

At the bottom of this filth was the question, in caps = would Jesus discriminate?

I simply cannot believe this. Someone please tell me my lying eyes are wrong!

:pray :shocked :pray :sob :pray

It's just another sign of the times. Apostasy.

[Jennifleur]

No, your eyes are not wrong. False teaching abounds these days. People are no longer following true Christianity - they are creating their own "brands", picking and choosing what they like and throwing out the rest.

[Goldie]

Apostacy doesn`t begin to describe this, in my eyes.

Its unbelievable. Its incredible.

:soapbox

[Goldie]

I have never come across such a twisted perversion of the Scriptures in all my life.

:sob

Thank you, Maggie. I am literally sick, after reading that website.

I don't know Goldie - I would respectfully disagree :hat- Apostasy does describe what you've brought up.
