Does God reject people? No. Do people reject God? Yes. And that includes several classes of people the UCC and other liberal churches lie to by telling them that they’re doing anything other than rejecting God by
making choices He’s made clear have exactly that significance.

As if the ‘guilty’ churches only judge on desirability, and not on the basis of outward sinfulness.
And as if Jesus–the Jesus of the ad–accepts the poor and homeless, and the actively homosexual, in the exact same way, while the snobby church rejects them in exactly the same way.
And as if the church views sin from its own idea of what’s contemptible, and not the Lord’s.
