Imagine getting mad at a community having fun at service.
I don't like the church but this is some nitpicky shit.
I think you’re missing the rank hypocrisy of it all, not to mention the utter stupidity of fools claiming enlightenment while unable to fathom how dim they appear to others.
From the original article,
"No matter what you believe, you might be a little confused at some point, but I believe you will and can experience God and church in a fresh new way.”
Reid also acknowledged the question many viewers of the service likely had.
“You might be wondering why on Earth would we do something like this,” he said.
One of the reasons, said Reider, was because “we believe that church can and should be fun.”
I think that's all completely fair. I know nothing about this church or their teachings but I can applaud them for having an unbunched panties attitude. (now if they're a hate-church, which I don't think they are, then they can fuck the fuck off)
They are a hate church and/or a cult.
A few (of the many) red flags:
"We believe the Bible is God’s inerrant truth and it’s the foundation to everything we do."
"The fact that we live in 21st century, it doesn’t change the message that God gave 2000 years ago"
"Scripture is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice."
They literally admit they're cult in the FAQ page
Surprise, surprise, they're doing tithing
If you check their annual reports, they have some $86+ million is assets and $6 million in cash(!)
From the article:
"At Crossroads, Tome says that the church is trying to walk the line between welcoming LGBTQ+ members and adhering to what he says are biblical traditions. Tome says that Crossroads does not affirm LGBTQ+ individuals in all ways."
Imagine not getting mad at a hate church.
Oh wait, you don't have to.
