Why do churches not talk about the sins that are taking place in today’s society. The Catholic church seems to be turning progressive. What is going on???

The Catholic church is more than just "turning" progressive. Many other denominations as well.

Cuz it's easier to be a honey tongued Joel Olsteen vs. a backwoods truth preaching man of God who makes very little $$, but is pure in heart.

Most churches are swimming with the wordly current, and it won't end well.

…. I went to the church over off of 945 once … pastor said I was likely to get hit by a log truck on the way home … said I needed to be sure where my soul was headed

… I did pass a couple log trucks but didn’t get hit

Lol, At least he didn't come right out and tell you that you were going straight to hades...They do that here...Even told my granny that, which was pretty funny considering she was a saint personified.

Know your not super religous, but keep a eye out for those logging trucks Savell. wink

Many biblically based churches do preach the gospel truth. Many "listeners" choose to be hearers of The Word and not do'ers of The Word (James 1).
.......also, many people don't want to give up their sin(s)......

Our church preaches sin, this mornings message was how "innocent" gossip can turn to malice and slander. 1 Peter 2:1 If our preacher went soft on the Word, he'd be out of the pulpit. Small rural church.

I here some stories on here and wish everyone could find a Bible believing Bible teaching Church. From what i hear i can understand why some could be put off from their experience. Our Church hates sin but we try to love the sinner.

My church does all the time. Just part of the sermon. I go to a Lutheran church if that makes a difference.
What church denomination do you go to that doesn't talk about today's sins?

Ours is so against sin, that the pastor invents new sins for those who think they aren't committing any!

I suspect that a lot of churches are just social clubs where you go to get a pep talk, but there's still plenty that teach the gospel.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

The Catholic Church is crooked. It has been since the beginning.


And since they were the very first Christian church, that all other Christian churches spawned from, the roots of all Christian churches are rotten. It's all about power over people and money.

The Preist this morning talked about pride and humility. I told my wife I got plenty of humility from my old tractor not wanting to run and pride when I got it running.


Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Talking about sin does not sell well. Tickle people's ear with what they want to hear and you will have a good audience.

Keith,
The Roman Catholic Church got it's start around 325 AD in Rome. The catholic (universal) church of the followers of Jesus Christ followers began shorty after the ascension of Jesus Christ.

There's no other church left between Jesus and the Protestant churches, that formed after 1517, besides the Catholic church. All Christian churches at this point are solidly rooted in Catholicism.

No, it's not "all about" power over people and money. There are many, many devout people of good faith who minister to the poor and try to spread their message of salvation. It is an institution comprised of people, and all people are sinners and some will definitely use whatever institutions they can as tools to their own benefit. But I can't think of any priests whom I've personally met who are trying to impose power over people or who are rolling in money.
