A month ago today, I kidnapped an Open Theist from a local Methodist Church and held him hostage in my basement. I told him I would let him go if he read my entire Summa Theologica set. Today I'm happy to announce he finished and he's now a based and red pilled Thomist.
"Wow, this liturgy is so beautiful!"
"St. Floyd, if you can hear us, save us."
"Well, except for this part. This part is a little rough."
"St. George Floyd, patron saint of fentanyl and counterfeit money, forgive us of our white privilege."
"..."
2) PCA is more conservative theologically but PCUSA is way more traditional liturgically. Worship in PCUSA Churches is far more sacred, beautiful, and less causal than in PCA churches
"Wow today's sermon is on Romans 9. I really hope Pastor Susan cooks on predestination."
"Diversity and good vibes to you all. You are all... queer! God in xis absolute equitable decree predestined you to be gender fluid! Praise Floyd. Blessed be Planned Parenthood."
"..."
One reason I'm Reformed is that the Reformed tradition is the only one that CONSITENTLY teaches the doctrines of providence and predestination.
Catholics, Anglicans, and Baptists all have people that teach it, but just as many if not more who despise it
"I hope P*stor Susan doesn't remember I was gone last week"
"Where were you Richard? You missed my sermon on how Yeshua's marriage to the Church is a metaphor for lesbian sex"
"..."
"Today I'm preaching on how St. Floyd is the antitype of Abel. Cops have the mark of Cain btw"
Update: Baptist church was amazing. Really felt the Spirit. It was ABCUSA, more traditional than most PCA Presbyterian churches Ive been to. Was solidly conservative as well. I owe all Baptists a massive apology
"Oh my Calvin! A female pastor! Let's hope this Church is conservative..."
"When Jesus of Nazareth said 'blessed are the poor in spirit,' he was referring to abortion doctors who perform first trimester abortions. Not second or third trimester."
"Praise God. It's conservative."
@sgruber91
No, he's right. The people labeled "liberal" in Evangelical circles would be considered VERY conservative in mainline churches like mine (PCUSA)
> In communion line at PCUSA "Church"
"I saw your Christology video Richard. Don't you know asserting Christ is God is a heresy in the PCUSA? You've been a very naughty boy."
"Patrix Susa..."
"It's Pastor* Susan. Now kiss my planned parenthood vestment."
"Yes Pastor Susan."
"At this Church, we say the Nicene creed with the alterations."
"Nice! I am a big supporter of the filioque for..."
"No, not that.... Repeat after me:
.... and I look forward to the resurrection of the queer identity and the life of the BIPOC to come. Amen and awomen."
"..."
Sometimes liberal PCUSA pastors will say "oh I believe in the resurrection" but they define resurrection as "queer people finding new life once somebody affirms them" or smth
"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
"Uh Mr. Pastor Peter, don't you mean 'be baptized, which merely represents the giving of the gifts of the Spirit?'"
"..."
The Nicene Creed, of course, affirms orthodox Christology and Trinitarianism. The rest of the Nicene Creed is incompatible with historic southern/American Baptist beliefs.
"We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins." We do not believe this. I know Baptists want to
"Thanks for joining me today, Trent and Steven. Let's get started by having you each explain your views on the LGBTQ community."
"Yeah, so it's actually pretty nuanced. We have to remember that...."
"Kill the f

I love how liberal Protestants will call Evangelicals crazy evil fundamentalists for opposing LGBTQ, but then act all ecumenical towards Catholics/Orthodox who believe the EXACT SAME THING
"Name the most essential thing a Church can possess."
"A beautiful building"
"........ Alright, Christian. Name the most essential thing a Church can possess."
"The jawbone relic of John of St. Thomas."
"........"
"I'm so glad Pastor Susan affirms the Filioque! She is truly a real Presbyterian!"
"Peace and grace from Our Non-Binary Gender Fluid Cuddle Buddy Yeshua of Nazareth. Today we're celebrating the feast day of St Floyd. Let's take a knee and have a moment of silence for the saint."
"After visiting a local mosque and observing how beautiful Islam is even without images, I have decided to become Muslim. It's basically Christian btw. Inshallah"
"Shh quit yapping about the PCA... Pastor Susan is about to start preaching. The PCUSA has better buildings anyways."
"Diversity and fluidity from Yeshua our Maternal Guardian, who, when xe said God's kingdom is within you in Luke, was referring to sexual orientation."
"..."
If any institution is unable to build beautiful buildings, it's not a powerful institution.
For all of human history, buildings have been a SIGN of power. It is no different today.
There are ZERO Evangelical institutions, except maybe the SBC, that are powerful.
*Visibly sweating*
"Do you take [Future Mrs. Zoomer] to be your cis-gender female life-partner"
"I do"
"Then by the queer vested in me and fluidity of Judith Butler, I proclaim you heteronormatively partners. You may kiss the assigned-female-at-birth."
"Wow the ELCA is such a tremendous mainline denomination. This building even has stained glass windows!"
"Plus sized grace and your truth from our brown friend Jesus. Today we'll be comparing the wonderful Tim Walz's holy military service lies to onlyfans girlboss Rahab"
"..."
Tim Walz being "Lutheran" shows why we need to take back the mainline churches. Even if you clarify "no I'm not one of THOSE Lutherans" people will STILL associate the denominational label with liberalism until the mainlines are retaken
No idea why people think I’m anti-PCA. PCA is my backup for if I leave PCUSA, and I literally have dozens of PCAs on my map of churches that thousands of people look at. I just have my criticisms of it
"Shalo- I mean, Hello John Knox. You walked in just in time for the sermon."
"[unintelligible]"
"When MLK Jr. had all of his affairs, he did it steadfastly in the spirit of Christian liberty!"
"..."
"[unintelligible]"
"Shut up and listen. A black woman is speaking."
This is literally how Reconquista is gonna work. Yes the pastors are bad, but they're also disappearing. It's time for a lay revolution, just like John Knox did. It means you can legitimately join a PCUSA church and take it over
"For all its very few flaws, the PCUSA really has the best stained glass windows. The depiction of MLK (PBUH) is my favorite."
"Let us now recite the Floyd Creed: Fent is great, Fent is good; let us thank Floyd for our hood. By His hands, we all are mugged. Amen."
"..."
@Brian_Sauve
It's a nice looking church but I'm not sure you understand what "Christendom" means. It means an established church that it dominant in society. It doesn't look like that's what this is

Opposition to female ordination generally comes from people who can’t do metaphysics to save their lives trying to make metaphysical claims about gender. Or else from a view of authority that divorces it entirely from reason — against every instinct of the Catholic legacy.
"Babe, Jewish or not- I'm not naming my kid Yehudah. Is your foot feeling better from breaking the glass at the wedding? Oh Calvin the sermon is starting."
"Peace and fluidity from our Palestinian friend Yeshua. Praise NonBinary God for diversely allowing Muslim clergy!"
"..."
Hard pill to swallow: EVERY denomination (Presbyterian, Lutheran, Catholic, Orthodox) has lots of internal theological diversity, even on important issues. Not a single denomination has doctrinal unity on all major issues
If all Christians only knew how much this works.
Mary is the chief intercessor for all Christians. She loves you. She wants to assist you. She wants to properly point you towards Christ.

I did. And it worked.
"Shh stop nagging me during the service. We're about to pray."

"Pastor Susan may be preaching again.. but ultimately I'm comforted half the denomination voted for Trump"

@Evangels4Harris
there are always tons of Mainline Protestants (like me) against her. Half the PCUSA voted for Trump after all. It’s a myth that Mainline means liberal and Evangelical means conservative
Here's an off the top of my head breakdown from personal/friend experience. Before that, let me briefly note that the whole women are scary thing is a meme/joke among men in reference to fear of rejection. Women are not actually per se scary.
"Oh great, P*stor Susan is going to kill me for skipping even more of her sermons.."
"Where were you Richard? You missed my sermon on how Jesus loves Egyptians (black people) as a migrant himself"
"..."
"Europe needs to let in more Arabs. They are after all Oriental Italians."
Visited a very traditional PCA church today. It was amazing. I’m not leaving PCUSA, but will certainly get more involved in the PCA in order to help build bridges
After careful consideration, I've decided to become even more hardcore pro-Reconquista.
Recently I carefully considered some retreatist ideas but gave up after seeing they're even stupider than I originally thought
Presby impastor proudly proclaims her two abortions were “sacred,” and follows that up with suggesting that Jesus would say "Blessed are those who end their pregnancies.” Reason

"This Church is so beautiful with its stained glass windows, grand architecture, and traditional liturgy. I love the PCUSA."
"We are happy to announce that as of this Juneteenth all of our clergy are now black women."
"But you-"
"Shut up and listen. A black woman is speaking."
I don't mind Juneteenth. The end of slavery IS a thing to celebrate, regardless of wokeness attached to it.
I say we make it more of a "civil war victory day" than a "diversity equity and inclusion" day
"Well at least most people in these PCUSA Churches are fairly modest... in stark contrast to the non-denom ones"
"Today's first announcement- we are proud to announce that we will be erecting a massive naked non-binary medusa statue to celebrate the fruits of feminism!"

Some good news from PCUSA General Assembly - they struck down an amendment that would forbid discrimination based on theological conviction (and would allow a Muslim or Unitarian to be a pastor in any PCUSA church)
I know it's bare minimum but still
Today on May 15th, 2024, a close friend of mine sent me a public Facebook post and YouTube video from First Lutheran Church. As read out by Reverend Joseph Highley on the morning of May 12th, First Lutheran Church in Ponca City has declared me excommunicated.

This year I'm going to stop calling myself "conservative". Conservatives are society's brake pedal and progressives are society's gas pedal, but the gas pedal always wins. We need to see Christianity as the new progressivism, progressing past leftism. The future, not the past.
Most people don't want to hear this but if you take the Bible seriously on its own terms, you'll find more reason to oppose women's suffrage than support it. First wave feminism was unequivocally a revolt on Paul in particular
Many Baptist pastors will stand before judgement and have to answer why they led their flocks astray on the basis of such deliberate and stubborn misreadings of the text
@MysteryGrove
President Biden’s interview with ABC is going incredibly well. He’s answering these questions directly, talking about his record in depth, and using incredible specifics. Biden is fit to serve and he’s our nominee. I can’t wait to vote for him.
I think even good women react like this because getting a prenup implies that the man does not fully trust the woman prior to the commitment that is supposed to signify complete trust. I'll let all 3 of my female followers confirm or deny.
@StudentsforLife
Wrong mindset. If your pastor is pro-choice, kick THEM out of your church. Conservatives need to stop being the ones to leave all the time
Graduate computer science classes full of Indians with white professors have interactions that perfectly mimic those of Han Solo and Chewbacca. The Indians will say something unintelligible and the white prof will effortlessly go "yeah, I see what you're saying."
Gen Z Dating issues with a focus on Christian dynamics:

Most (not all) Christian women are soft on social ethics, dress extremely immodestly, and are quite shallow as people. Many Christian men have their own set of issues as well (it's because we're in social decline right now). Nevertheless I'm presenting the male perspective.
