But, this is to be expected. Cities Church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. So they don't see the complete inconsistency in a pastor who works for ICE, and who participates in the immoral injustice that they are perpetrating. Nor do they see that Biblical Christianity and being a supporter of MAGA Trumpism are mutually exclusive. It is not possible to be faithful to the principles of the Christian gospel, and a supporter of MAGA, and Trump.

And that's not a judgment. It's simply an observation.

But, what is to be expected in a denomination that was founded for the purpose of defending slavery, rebelling against the biblically founded restrictions on sending slaveowners out on their behalf as missionaries, adopted by the Triennial Baptist Convention of Philadelphia. And, one that did not repudiate or apologize for its role in promoting the evil, ungodly practice until 1995, 150 years after it was founded because of its support for slavery.

I didn't hear either one of these seminary presidents speak out against the murder of Renee Good. Nor have they spoken up against the brutal treatment we have all seen that has been a trademark of ICE raids and alleged "enforcement" of immigration law everywhere they've been. To be fair, I've never heard Akin preach, nor have I read anything he's written. I have heard Mohler, his podcast, and his pompous pontifications on everything he thinks his audience needs informing from his perspective. And I can't find any reference to their complaining about ICE agents interrupting church services to abduct worshippers.

If this protest, calling out the hypocrisy of this church, is a problem, then so is ICE entering a church to drag off and arrest people in the congregation. Why not speak up about disrupting worship in general, instead of whining about this calling out of hypocrites? The leader of the protest was arrested, and the attorney general, Pam Bondi, stated, "We will not tolerate attacks on places of worship."

Really, Pam? So you are a two faced liar, and hypocrite too, as if we didn't already know this, given your bottomless corruption. Does this mean you will not tolerate ICE agents entering churches to drag out congregants and send them to detention camps? Will we hear, from your office, orders prohibiting ICE agents from attacking houses of worship?
