Opinion: Why Hollywood megachurches like Hillsong hide their true teachings

A digital producer’s opinion? Lord bless you 😂😂😂

I respect the LGBT Community and their right to live and believe as they wish. It is hypocritical for that community to not give that same respect to others. Forcing one’s beliefs on others is wrong on ALL sides. The Washington Post is sounding biased.

This country was founded in part to provide religious freedom. If you are going to attack Christianity for their beliefs, you better be ready to take on the Muslim and Jewish faiths as well.

Your opinion is wrong.

If it’s in the Bible — We’re going to teach it!!!

So glad you sucker's are getting sued.

Hollywood is a religion.

This article is evidence that Churches like Hillsong that attempt to have any middle ground are foolish to do so. What has darkness to do with light? The LGBT left does not care about Christ. They only want to force conformity with their godlessness.

This is hate speech intended to incite violence at churches

The church is under attack. Great! Jesus promised this.

Money! Cuz if they (mega churches) told the truth the pews would half empty

This is so misleading. We eat the body and drink the blood of our founder in our super secret Sunday meetings. Shhhh we are trying to hide this true ritual. So ridiculous

This is sad, another celeb that will be controlled by a mega-church because he will bring in money like Cruise and Pacquiao. That is what most organized religions are, a jail for the brain! You will never be allowed to think for yourself.

Christianity recognizes that people who are gay are living in sin. No more so than any other sin. I wonder when people who are LGBT say they are not welcome. Is it because the people at the church are casting them out or because the LGBT person knows the doctrine says its sin

Just curious but what if the people that disagreed with you demanded you affirm what they believe? Not long ago it was be tolerant and accepting of who we are which is right by the way, to now you must affirm. the LGBTQ community has become who they once detested.

Churches of the Poisoned Mind.

A prerequisite for a cult.

$$$$$

Money!

Hide them?!?!? All you have to do is read the Bible... you know, the best-selling book of all time... the one you can find in nearly every hotel and thrift shop in America, and you’ll see what Christians believe... IT’S...NOT...A...SECRET. 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

They are inhospitable to anyone one who doesn't buy into their retrograde selectively very conservative and misinterpreted view of Bible. All smiles, coffee, grade school teaching level sermons. Xian lite. I have found them creepy and a faint sense of evil.overarching..Ugh. No.

In this case THE BIBLE is what is anti LBGQT. Does ANYBODY discussing THIS REALIZE what is IN THE BIBLE. End of STORY

Only the dead know the answer to that question, and they aren't talking.

Why don't they pay taxes

It is not hidden. Read the Bible. It's crap, but read it anyway.

Chris Pratt & Hillsong? Hah! Get the hay’ll outta here. Last yr I was sitting near an Asian woman in Mad. Sq Park w guys passing by & sitting nearby pointing their chins in her direction. I’m thinking nah, it can’t be, ridiculous. Within 2 minutes she was talking Hillsong.

TaxTheChurches! All of them!

Churches preach there interpretation of the bible for there benifit!!!

WaPo you’re so left of left you should be called Communist Post

Glad churchclarity got a shout out here, they're doing important work.

What a ridiculously misguided and uninformed article. Love the sinner but hate the sin.

Because they are batshit cray cray?!

OK .. you do know you have sit in a pew to get that .. God Bless

Christianity's main message isn't to 'bash the Gays' its to spread the Gospel. While homosexuality is a sin, so is lying, cheating and stealing. We are imperfect beings and striving to be more like Christ, we know we cant do that and that is why we follow and proclaim him as Lord

Just when I thought I couldn't despise HW more than I already do...

Now do the one on mosques. I’ll wait.

Wow a church follows the teachings of the Bible, shocking. You going to go after Orthodox Jews, or Muslims for following their teachings, which also do not permit same sex relationships? No, because you’d be labeled a bigot. Free country CP can go to whatever church he wants to.

This is sicking,i believe you have the right to have your religious beliefs,but don't force it on anyone! HumanRightsAreWorthIt

The Left didn't care about the true teachings of Obama's church. Doesn't care about the true teachings of the mosque that Rep Ilhan Ohmar attends. Doesn't care about the true teachings of Keith Ellison's faith. Nope, conveniently overlooking that.

Same as a lot of churches. How many know what the Mormon's believe? They follow a leader who had many wives and some young wives. Smith supposedly had tablets that no one else saw. Moses showed everyone the 10 commandments. LDS and Catholic churches are the top two $$$$

I’m certain the “don’t do gay sex” theology of Christianity is rooted in Christ’s teachings, and proclaimed by the Church for the past two millennia.

Christianity has existed for 2,000 years. For the non-heretics, it hasn't changed. Stop being surprised that Christians actually believe the Bible. And yes, that means not capitulating to cultural trends, like Leftist sexual fundamentalism.

All you have to do is ask one simple question: Does the church celebrate or condemn gay weddings?

**WASHINGTON** ¿QUE PREFIEREN? *SU CORONA GERARKA CHAMPION MAGICO* O *SU CERTAMEN DE *BELLEZA* PARA QUE SE *CORONEN MISS BISCOCHOTE MARRANOTE* Y QUE *VIVAN EN EL COCTELES HAMAI MARRANOTE*

I like the last paragraph. It applies to a lot of things these days.

It's all about the Benjamins baby!

while supremacist!

We'll see how long that 'win-win' lasts. Hoping for the pushback against this trash to continue

Thanks for this new battle in the left’s war on Christianity.
