Woke culture has infiltrated several Christian churches across the country, some of which have made it abundantly clear they love and cherish a woman’s ability to terminate her pregnancy.
Breitbart News’s recent compilation shows several church leaders across various sects — Methodist, Episcopalian, the United Church of Christ, etc. — seemingly distorting scripture and advocating for abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe.

God is so pro-baby murder that he wiped out entire societies for doing it.

It is always distressing to me to hear some of the things that many so-called Christians say. They think they know but they didn't hear, they didn't see, they claim understanding but have none and they act out of malice with a sense of being holier than thou. Judge not lest yea be judged and those without sin may cast the first stone. They look down upon the least of these and believe that they are above them.
A church leader is most often to blame for a congregation of misguided Christians. These types can't even give a funeral service without implicating the sins of the deceased and implying they haven't made their peace with the lord. I attend church services very infrequently because most never even occur on the sabbath day as commanded by the Bible they claim to believe in. Most of these type of churches won't even teach about damnation and the worse is these prosperity gospel/theology sects that teach that God shows his love through material wealth, therefore the wealthiest people are the most faithful to the Lord.

Yes, I realize that about the sabbath day and other Mosaic laws, but these misguided Christians claim to follow the Bible, both Old and New Testament. Jesus wasn't too big on keeping the sabbath, but he did refer back to the OT many times, so we can't just throw the Old Testament out because it's just for the Jews, not to mention the fact that Jesus was a Jew and no Christians existed until after he had risen.
As for the apostles, they never seemed to understand the Lord's teachings so he had to resort to parables to get the idea across. I'd rather trust the words of the teacher than the words and acts of the apostles. They may have walked with Christ, but even Judas did that, so I don't give them too much credit for their insight, just what was taught directly by Christ himself.
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ 23And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME [you are banished from My presence], YOU WHO ACT WICKEDLY [disregarding My commands].’
Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? 17Even so, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the unhealthy tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Therefore, by their fruit you will recognize them [as false prophets].
When the Christian Churches become an enemy of God what will he do?
