If the perverse appear in an assembly displaying disorderly conduct and disrespect toward God, woman and children as mentioned here I personally think it is within the assemblies right and it is their duty to use force to protect the family and remove them from their midst. Praying for these people is nice but these people have already rejected God’s truth and they have been given over to insanity. They are demonically driven hateful predators who practice lawlessness and they will do what easy targets and those with victim mentalities allow them to get away with. If they tried that in ancient Judaism they would be stoned, if they tried that in a Muslim Mosque they would be stoned. They only do it in Christian congregations because many Christians have been misled to believing love means you will be a patsy.
Lesbians, condoms go wild in attack on Christian church
Worshippers at a Bible-teaching church in Lansing, Mich., were stunned Sunday when members of a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash Back interrupted their service to fling propaganda and condoms around the sanctuary, drape a profane banner from the balcony and feature two lesbians making out at the pulpit.
According to a blog posting by Nick De Leeuw on Right Michigan, the Bash Back organization orchestrated a protest in front of Mount Hope Church to draw the church’s security staff away from the sanctuary.
Then Bash Backers who had dressed up and mixed in with church worshippers took action.
According to De Leeuw, “Prayer had just finished when men and women stood up in pockets across the congregation, on the main floor and in the balcony.
“‘Jesus was gay,’ they shouted among other profanities and blasphemies as they rushed the stage. Some forced their way through rows of women and kids to try to hang a profane banner from the balcony while others began tossing fliers into the air. Two women made their way to the pulpit and began to kiss,” he wrote.
He cited the Bash Back organization’s own announcement of other items members brought into the church, including “a megaphone, noise makers, condoms, glitter by the bucket load, confetti, pink fabric. …”
According to the alternative Lansing City Pulse – which reported it was notified of the protest ahead of time and sent a reporter along instead of warning the church – the protesters also screamed at parishioners and pulled the church facility’s fire alarm. Printed material protesters distributed said, “We specialize in confronting homophobia, transphobia and every and all other forms of oppression.”
The report said Bash Back issued a statement today confirming it targeted Mount Hope, which has about 5,000 church participants, because it participates in “the repression of queers.”
On the newspaper’s forum page, a contributor commented, “Homosexuals and anarchists. A perfect combination of human beings with no hope, no morals, no future.”
Sick and utterly disgusting.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities and rulers of darkness. It is quite difficult when those “powers, principalities and rulers of darkness” take on the form of flesh.
Mt. Hope is a God-fearing, God-loving church. (I’ve been there and know some members)
The Lord really does hate sin and He really does love sinners. May the Lord give them grace to bring light into darkness and mercy into misery.
Don’t think God loves sinners who reject His Son. They are the very reason that judgment is coming on the world. Also don’t presume to tell the Lord what to do? God will give grace on those God predestined to come to His Son that does not include the tares in the field, the sons of the Devil. Many of these He obviously already gave up Rom 1: 18-32.
You really need to stop talking in Christianize?
Yes yes yes we wrestle with higher powers and so on but we also wrestle with human beings who love to side with these dark evil powers. They want to convert your children and mind wipe them of all Christian knowledge. Furthermore do not be decieved, they will inflict physical harm on you any chance they get. You either protect yourself from these fiends or just go ahead and surrender now and get it over with. While you may be saved, your child is not and i can promise you that if you do not begin to defend God and your family with something else other then slogans you will lose the battle.
Mary is standard in Christianity today. Nice people with no anger, no outrage, no desire to defend God’s holiness. There is no David going up against Goliath these days in the church. It’s one of the reasons these vile dark people felt bold enouph to do what they did.
People who are not willing to defend God with not only their words but their bodies as well are inviting death to their nation and their descendants.
It’s a weak Christianity with no power behind it. These churches have been dutifully praying for years now to what end? There comes a point when Christians will have to figure out that God is not listening to these prayers. I wonder why?
1) “Also don’t presume to tell the Lord what to do?” I’m not sure where this is coming from. Because I asked the Lord to help them bring light into darkness? The question is – Is it the Lord’s will to bring light into darkness? Is it the Lord’s will that we intercede for sinners? Is it the Lord’s will that we love those who hate us? Let’s not forget that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. and “Mercy triumphs over judgment”.
2) “You really need to stop talking in Christianize?” Not sure what you mean by this either.
Do you mean “Christianese?” Nor sure.
I am not saying that the people of Mt. Hope should welcome in sinners and their sin. I simply asked that the Lord Jesus give them light and mercy – and grace and love – to deal with the situation as He directs them.
3) “Mary is standard in Christianity today. Nice people with no anger, no outrage, no desire to defend God’s holiness.” “It’s a weak Christianity with no power behind it. These churches have been dutifully praying for years now to what end?” “if you do not begin to defend God and your family with something else other then slogans you will lose the battle.”
There seems to be a lot of “assumptions” going on. Because I ask the Lord to help them bring light and mercy – this is considered “nice” and “weak”?
Quite frankly, I don’t plan on losing any battle why? Because He works valiantly on behalf of those who love Him – and yes, I will continue to use what may be construed by others as “Christianize (ese)” or “slogans”. I call it the “Word of God”. Jesus used it against the devil – even heaven and earth will pass away – yet His Word abides forever. (Sorry, I used a “slogan”)
What do you think Jesus meant by “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you”?
Don, I hear what you’re saying. But it does seem like as Christians we’re supposed to turn the check without any recourse except praying or filing legal statements or calling the cops. I have heard that one of the reasons why Islam is growing by leaps and bounds is because compared to Christianity it appears have more “power” to it. Like you belong to this tough club that no one wants to mess with. When you look at the world, it seems like it comes down to whose best armed and has the will to use it that prevails. I don’t want to sound blasphemous in the slightest but I’m confused to tell you the truth nowadays. To me it seems like with prayers and activism Christians should be running the show in the US but they just seem to be kicked around it seems to me. ??? Your thoughts?
Open eyes,
Those who do not provide for there families are worse than infidels. Providing for your family also means providing for their physical and mental security.
Jesus forcefully threw the money changers out of the Temple. I do not think He will have much tolerance for those who defile his Church and we are His body.
The turning the cheek is often a cop-out. You do not turn your cheek when others safety are involved that is pacifism and cowardliness and it is not taught int he Bible.
Christians should work within the system because the unbelieving world is quite insane and will hate us in any case. However, If Hitler were invading America should Christians enter the fight? The spirit of fascism and immorality is now invading America and entering our congregations and what are Christians doing to protecting their families? They do not even have the discernment to vote for those who should protect them.
To Mary, I get a little tired of Christians who just talk Christianese instead of address the issues.
You ask “what do you think Jesus meant by “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you?”
Jesus meant what He said. I am not telling you to hate these people. But you are hating your own family if you do not restrain them from doing the behaviors described in this article. What will you allow next a nude guy pride parade in front of the congregation or accepting anthrax in your collection basket? God gave the Church a brain and we are to protect our own.
