"LGBTQ+ inclusive" churches don't seem to be reaching their goal

[Cow Poke]

I saw that but didn't think it was worth correcting.

Yeah, I think I still had time to correct it, but... why!

And that was my title of that segment of teaching: "smokescreens"

Paul Little tells the story of speaking at a university where a young man came up to him after his apologetics presentation, and told him, "You have successfully answered every objection I have had to Christianity".

Little asked, "then you're ready to give your life to Christ?"

The young man said no, and Little asked, "well, if I answered every objection, why won't you accept Christ as your Savior?"

The answer "because it would mess up the way I'm living".

The rich young ruler.........

One should never ever skip an opportunity to point out something like that when done by a grammar/spelling Nazi.

Reminds me of someone I used to know. He would insist on bringing up irrelevant questions to argue about Christianity and that I needed to answer them. He told me later he'd converted to Wicca... I asked him why, and if he really believed any of it was true. "Not really but the rules agree with how I want to live." Well isn't that convenient!

I agree, most of the time the problem isn't an intellectual one.

I take no joy in doing this duty

So, let's get back to that question whether Adam and Eve had belly buttons.

Not sure where that disagrees with my post

Real goal reached, who cares about fake goal.

Sure, but let me tell you about Jesus....

I know OP said the reasons in the blog post aren't very important, but I think reason #2 is funny:

2. As inclusive as yours may be, churches are overwhelmingly cisgender, heterosexual spaces
