Pastor claiming he was fired for inviting black people to church 'flooded with support'

[TexasTowelie]

In the days since he said he was fired for inviting black children to church, Pastor Jonathan Greer said he's been "flooded with support."

In an email to AL.com, Greer, 26, said he was "told explicitly in a meeting with deacons that the church did not want me to invite black people to church."

Efforts by AL.com to reach church officials were not successful. Deacons told a television station the allegation is not true.

Greer served as pastor of Mt. Sterling Baptist Church in Butler for a year and a half until he was suddenly fired by a unanimous vote by deacons on Sunday. The vote came after Greer invited black children from the neighboring community to Vacation Bible School and preached a sermon the previous Sunday calling on the church to repent for its racism, the pastor said.

1. This again?

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

4. Of course, it would be a big 'ask', for people for whom hatred has

become a major prop in their lives. It would mean changing, conversion.

How on earth (not to mention heaven) they expect to be welcomed into the heavenly realms in the next life has to be one of the biggest mysteries imaginable. Though I suspect with many of the women, particularly, their church-going will be more for socializing than anything. Imagine rejecting Christ in the flesh from his own domain. The angels of those children look on the face of God all the time.
