Drag has place in regardless of denomination.

So it should be. Allowing such ideas into the church is bad fruit. Mistaken as good fruit. Motivated by secular beliefs and ideas than Christs church.

If a church becomes exactly like the world then what is the difference. Where is Christ who said that the world would have His church. Christ church is suppose to be different to the world. Not the same. Is the world or secular ideology Christ church now.

I think the Church has gotten confused as far as being the light in a dark world. Many are too busy trying to please it and bring the Church down to the world’s standards.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Scripture speaks to these people.

Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Yes trying to please the world. Be politically correct and all that. I think the church should not get into any of that. Be seperate and an example that is different that people can look to. Thats how it use to be to a large degree where the church offered counsel in moral situations but stayed out of politics.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Yes and I find it strange how there can be two completely different beliefs on this. Its never in between but the exact opposite of Christs truth.
