You might disagree but there is no conceivable way that is even remotely proper in a church.
And that church is even promoting it, with the minister telling the congregation to stand up (give them a standing ovation).
Do you still need to ask why I said that church has lost its way?That's what

That disgusting display was the complete opposite of giving glory to God. It was the flaunting of man's basest desires in the face of God.

And those who have posted to this thread condemning both the individual and the church remind me of the narratives we find in the NT gospels where Jesus condemns hypocrites and those who think they are in some wise more righteous in their religious observances than others.
I suspect Christ would have done the same thing in this instance.Last edited by mossrose; 08-02-2022, 08:47 AM.

What is "proper" in a church?
Welcoming someone into the congregation does not seem particularly offensive.
You all remind me of your gospels and those whitened sepulchres that condemned Jesus.
Not forgetting his remarks on hypocrisy.
Matthew 7 and 23 come to mind.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Do you think that was how they "welcome" all their new members?
Do you think someone who is an alcoholic that just joins struts on in, smashed and waving a half-empty bottle of booze about as he takes a swig?
Or the serial adulterer. Did he come in with a couple of his girlfriends on his arms with his wife trailing behind?
As has already been noted, Jesus was not known for his tolerance of improper behavior in His Father's House and made that point rather forcibly (Matthew 21:12-17; Mark 11:15-19; Luke 19:45-48; John 2:13-16), particularly in John's account.
