It;s all about tickling the ears. in that... Yes they are cowards! Cowards for not speaking the truth.

Perhaps I'm a bit hasty in my judgment but I've been in the ministry for a long time and in My experience... it's seems that people are always looking for a reason to NOT come to church. Either they are too busy with other priorities or they are just plain lazy. I feel that closing on a Sunday is just giving them yet another reason to not attend.
Well, we already know that the above named churches are not sound. So no one, least of all, us here, expect them to do anything right. And they are a lot of things, false prophets, liars, charlatans and self serving egotistical false teachers.

But that does not make other churches that close the same thing. Not even a little bit. We can judge Mars Hill and all on their false teachings, all their bad fruit. But closing on Sunday is not a capital offense to God. As suggested here.

I wasn't defending these places. And I never said I was. But I know this, it is not their closing on Sunday that makes me know their fruit is bad, it is their false teachings with a worldly agenda and false teachings. Not being closed on Sunday for Christmas is not an indication of a cowardly church. And I was pretty clear that I was talking about closing on Sunday, or not doing Services at all on Sunday.
