Church dedicates Sunday service to Drag Queens and Christian leaders call it revolt

A church has caused a stir by dedicating its Sunday services to homosexual Drag Queen shows, a situation that caused the confusion and discomfort of the main Christian leaders in the United States.

Church dedicates Sunday service to Drag Queens and Christian leaders call it a rebellion.

Hope Church, located in Illinois, decided to present a Drag Queens show to the entire congregation of that church; action that has been classified as an “open rebellion” against God’s intention on humanity.

One of those who spoke out against what happened was Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary located in Kentucky, who said that this church is promoting “different” religion than Christianity.

The fact became known when a story that talks about 23-year-old Isaac Simmons, who directs functions at the church and is known for her drag name “Mrs. Penny Cost’,was published in Religion News Service.

There, it was detailed that a “Drag Sunday” was held inside the church on April 11, where drag people performed a show, sang, acted and even “prayed.”

One of the actors said that the goal was “celebrating and uplifting the voices of drag artistry within the church,”  he said.

Similarly, it was learned that Simmons is the first candidate to achieve certification as a ministry leader, as detailed by the Vermillion River District Ordained Ministry Committee of the Illinois Great Rivers Conference.

As a result of this, Mohler expressed that it is a “Open Revolt against God.”

“An intentional refutation and revolt against the very order of creation that God has given us,” and a “direct violation of the clear teachings of Scripture concerning the fact that those whom God has made as men should identify as men [and] those whom God has made as women should identify as women.” he said  on his podcast The Briefing.

“That is found in paralleled scriptural teachings, by the way, in both the Old and New Testaments. It “would have been unthinkable” at “virtually any point” in Christian history for a church to embrace drag shows, he added.

“It’s because Christians were operating out of a Christian biblical understanding. This is open revolt, and of course, you’re going to see a division between those who are appalled by it, deeply troubled by it, deeply concerned by it and opposed to it on the one hand, and those who celebrate it and say that it’s arrived far too late on the other hand,” he continued.

He said that such teachings can no longer continue to exist in a church or denominations, since they present two different positions in addition to going against God.

“There is virtually nothing left of the historic Christian tradition,” he said about the churches that are allowing this type of things to  happen.

Leader Mohler ends by saying that there will clearly be a division between both denominations: conservatives and liberals.
