Am I a Kook or is the ULC Modesto & Monastery Storehouse JUST WRONG?

The Universal Life Church in Modesto, CA., and this Monastery Storehouse in Seattle, WA.,

are attempting to portray me as someone who just doesn't know or as some kook.

 

Am I really a kook or is it I really know what I am talking about?

 

I don't claim to know everything about all faiths,

but I am the most educated Universal Life Church leader within my own Christian Faith.

 

The decision you make regarding your ordination, it is your decision,

but I suggest you get all the facts and do a little bit of research.

#1 Size of a Church is not based on individuals ordained. It is based on congregational members or parishoners or those who attend services. We have far more parishoners and more who attend Church Service than either Modesto or Seattle combined. We are the largest Universal Life Church and yes we could be possibly considered a Mega Church.

 

Ref: The definition of a Megachurch from Hartford Institute for Religion Research

 

Ref: It is generally accepted that there are four classifications of churches, small, medium, large and mega. This article will add one more, tiny, as a subclass of small churches. It seems to be commonly accepted that the best way to classify a church is by average attendance rather than membership.

 

Ref: Andre (Hensley, Pastor of ULC Modesto speaking of the size of the ULC Modesto) said at its height in the 1980s, the church attracted about 100 people. That's down to about eight adults, seven children and a mastiff, a large dog that sat quietly except for barking when a stranger entered the church.

 

#2 Modesto or Seattle claim they offer interfaith or nondenominational ordination. This is impossible. They mean the complete opposite of each other. Interfaith means all faiths or more than one. Nondenominational means one faith and that is Christian, but not devout to any one sect of belief therein.

 

Ref: In Christianity, non-denominational institutions or churches are those not formally aligned with an established denomination, or that remain otherwise officially autonomous.

 

Ref: The terms interfaith or interfaith dialogue refer to cooperative and positive interaction between people of different religious traditions (i.e., "faiths") and spiritual or humanistic beliefs, at both the individual and institutional level with the aim of deriving a common ground in belief through a concentration on similarities between faiths, understanding of values, and commitment to the world.

 

  (Kirby Hensley despised Christians

     and ridiculed the Christian Faith)

Ref: Among his more memorable comments:

• I always stand for freedom, food and sex. That's all there is. It sets people free.
• Jesus was a good actor.
• The Bible "is full of lies from one end to the other."
• It's a thin line dividing genius and idiot. I think I'm on the genius side.
• We're coming up on the 21st century and there's not one verse of Scripture in the Bible that will take you beyond the 20th century.
• I believe I was a comedian and two-bit lawyer (in an earlier life) because I've had more lawsuits than anybody.
• I just want to raise all the hell I can, and get all the kooks and what-have-you as churches; then they (the government) will have to tax them all.

In 1968, he ran for president; one of his platforms was "civil treatment for visitors from other worlds." The following year, he ran for governor. In 1984, he declared the birth of a new nation — his church. In 1986, he celebrated his coronation in the "Kingdom of Aqualandia" and offered a combo deal: kingdom citizenship and a ministerial charter for $35.

 

#3 Modesto or Seattle do not offer legal faith based ordination. Faith based ordination is defined as ordination within the Christian faith and only within the Christian faith.

 

Ref: The term 'faith-based' is a neologism (coined in the 1970s), mostly current in US English, to describe any organization or government idea or plan based on religious beliefs, specifically Christian beliefs

 

#4 Modesto or Seattle do not adhere to any doctrine of faith, in fact as Wikipedia states their one doctrine of faith, if it can even be considered such is to do that which is right.

 

Ref: The ULC has no traditional doctrine, believing as an organization merely in doing "that which is right."

 

#5 With exception to serving as a wedding officiant, anything else available to you as an ordained Minister with Modesto or Seattle is already afforded to you under the 1st Amendment. Modesto or Seattle ordinations provide to you but one right by statute and that is to serve as a wedding minister.

 

Do you want to be an ordained Wedding Minister or

Do you want to be a legal & real Faith Based Minister?

 

WE ARE THE ONLY UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH TO OFFER LEGAL FAITH BASED ORDINATION

 

As a true, legal, real Faith Based Minister, you can serve as a wedding officiant, but you are also ordained within and recognized as a legal and real Minister within the Christian Faith.

 

Those Within The Christian Faith Will View & Accept You as a Real Faith Based Minister

 

Real Ordination = Real Ministers  http://www.ulcnetwork.com

 

Do you think Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Jesse Jackson, etc., etc., or even the Ministers or Priests at every Church in your community was ordained by the ULC in Seattle or Modesto?

 

NO I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. Again the decision you make, it is your decision.

 

Personally I can't embrace either as a legitimate Church, not because Ministers are limited to one attribute afforded in accord with statute to serve as wedding officiants, but because both the Universal Life Church in Modesto and this Monastery Storehouse in Seattle embrace satanism and atheism, they are famous for ordaining followers of satan and atheists.
