Greg Locke Complains That Churches Have Too Many Handicapped Parking Spaces: ‘You Just Don’t Have Any Faith’
Global Vision Bible Church pastor Greg Locke keeps on ragging on those with mental and physical illnesses, recently preaching a sermon complaining about churches having too many handicapped parking spaces and how it’s an indication of lack of faith.
Readers of Protestia will recognize Locke as the controversial Tennessee pastor who is elbows deep in exorcisms and deliverance ministry after several witches supposedly harassed his church. We last wrote about him after he touted his ‘Humbleness’ and ‘Obedience’ by Partnering with Benny Hinn, repented of writing a Book Against Benny Hinn, and Now Considers Him a ‘Friend,’ and after we uncovered he wrote a Manual About Deliverance, which includes Casting Demons Out of ‘Sex Organs.’
Last year, he stated that children with autism or OCD are almost certainly demon possessed.
Now, he explains:
“Churches in the American culture — you know one of the largest expenses we have in buildings? The amount of handicap parking and handicap accessibility that we have in our churches. Now let me make you mad for a minute and I don’t really care. Why is it you pull up to a church that says they operate in faith, and you have fifty handicapped parking spots?
Aint no body lay hands on them handicapped folks yet? I don’t care what Twitter says. You can get mad all you want to. Fold your arms. Stick your lips out. Poot[?] your mouth. I don’t care. I’m so unafraid of what anybody in this tent thinks about me right now in my life, I could care less.
We just expect that people are going to leave church the same way they came to church. We ought to start having some signs out there, that don’t have like handicap accessibility … people in a wheelchair. We ought to start having signs of a wheelchair laying down and someone just walking up.
‘Well pastor, you are just being insensitive.’
I think you just don’t have any faith is what I think!”
Notably, in the decade that Locke led his church, he recorded no miracles where anyone in a wheelchair got up and walked.
Well, of course,. If you are sick, poor, discouraged, downtrodden and have eczema you must have a lack of faith, or demons, or generational curses or something that YOU have done wrong ….
We have great examples such as the book of Job or John 9:1-5.
As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.
This is, of course, sarcasm …
Proverbs 23:2
This disgusting teaching is incredibly cruel to those who are suffering.
Locke continues to be the embodiment of everything the unsaved world finds repugnant about Christianity.
