Rev. Justin Hoke has learned it’s very hard to pastor a churchful of Bible-denying heathen.
Hoke has been fired as pastor of Trinity Bible (that word is obviously in there by mistake) Presbyterian Church in the aptly-named town of Weed, California (https://pjmedia.com/faith/calif-pastor-ousted-from-church-over-bruce-jenner-is-still-a-man-billboard/). He was fired for putting this message on a sign outside the church.
“Bruce Jenner is still a man. Homosexuality is still sin. The culture may change. The Bible does not.” Soon the sign was vandalized by “LGBT activists” (translation: hate-filled sodomites). And Rev. Hoke was told by elders that if he tried to stay on as pastor, the entire congregation would leave in a huff. `
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12) We are sure Rev. Hoke knows that verse of Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.
Just for the record, every word that was on the sign outside the church was true, and every word spoken by “LGBT activists” and their supporters is false.
And now I’ll have to find a happy puppy picture to illustrate this post, or it’ll be censored.
