NAR pastor Landon Schott is taking dominonism to the next level...

::::::::

And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." - Matthew 22:37-40 (ESV)

I think I have found a NAR dominionist church on steroids. Shout out to Brandon Kimber for sending me the above video link to an interview of Pastors Landon and Heather Schott on a recent episode of Lance Wallnau's ridiculous show. I had never heard of Mercy Culture church in Fort Worth Texas before. I am surprised because they run the NAR dominionist playbook to a tee. They are whiny, smug, arrogant, and as you will see throughout this video, they are so smarmy. They are proud of their disobedience. They are pleased in their mockery. They are wallowing in the collective victimhood the NAR sells them. They openly brag however that they are "dangerous", and they are on many levels. They represent the next evolution in NAR dominionism. They are actively training people to run for local office in their city, under the false teachings of Lance Wallnau and the seven mountains heresy. Just as a side note, it is amusing to watch Wallnau pause to sell the products of the insane Mike Lindell. Giza sheets, pillows and slippers, oh my. There is just no shame in the apostate church. I will go over some of the content from this video and discuss the overarching concerns so let us reason once more together.

"We are still a baby church, just five years but we have grown fast because during COVID, we didn't shut down. We think church is essential, so we stayed open. So, we just started massively growing. We had an elder run for Mayor, and he got 11% of the vote that took everybody by surprise. This guy is not a politician he just heard from the Lord. That led to us starting a ministry called for liberty and justice that has gotten over 62 politicians elected in Tarrant County alone. When that happened, we became public enemy number one for the left-wing lunatics (wife cackles). So, we are their favorite thing to write about and hate on and try to oppose. I don't have the heart to tell them that they are helping us grow our church. - Landon and Heather Schott

So, they got their fame by feeding their sheep into the COVID woodchipper. Who knows how many they killed because of their own biblical stupidity. The body of Christ is essential. Their brick-and-mortar building? Not so much, especially if they are replacing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the gospel of 'Merica." Landon said that about 6600 people attend his church. Must have been a literal petri dish to spread the virus. Disgusting but he will answer for every sheep he butchered to further his own fiefdom. Nevertheless, they ran an elder for mayor and are somehow bragging that he got a whopping 11%? Note however that they used this to now elect 62 people locally? You will notice here that Heather cackles when her husband refers to people who disagree with them as lunatics. Do people really hate them? Sounds like self-victimization. woe is me; I am so persecuted because I don't get my way. Let us read on.

"In the past four years alone, we have had 116 attack articles against us. We feed at our church 2000 families per week at our food bank. We are one of the largest if not the largest food distributer in the city. They don't care about how many families we feed. They don't care about how many homeless we reach. We have led 1800 people to Jesus this year alone. We have baptized 850 people this year alone, most of them outside of church services. So, it doesn't matter what we do in the community as we have gotten involved in these spheres of influence." - Landon and Heather Schott

I tried researching some of these alleged attack articles. I did find one from 2023 about a member who fled from Mercy Culture after being told she could not wear a Black Lives Matter tee shirt in church, but MAGA gear was encouraged. To make matters worse, this woman alleges racist and false accusations against her as being transgender or gay, of which she is neither. More importantly, why would that matter to a church? Why would it matter to a church that calls itself "mercy?" I found another article from 2022 that details a nice little grift the Schott's had going. One accusation was that the Schott's would prophesy that churchgoers should buy property to "expand territory" but only through church leaders who just happened to be real estate agents, including, wait for it, Heather Schott. Notice the pride oozing out of the "pastors" as they conflate two different issues to try and gin up sympathy. People can be upset because you make racist comments or pretend God has spoken for people to buy homes that you directly profit from and that not be a statement on your other efforts that might be beneficial. I find that churches that openly brag about what they are doing not only are disobedient to the bible's teaching about doing good works to be seen, but usually know they are guilty in other areas. So, you feed people? What do you want? A medal? The issue is that they keep trying to politically take over their city under the guise of Christianity. Jesus never commanded any such nonsense. The bulk of the articles I found however is over a recent dispute that the Schotts are having with the City of Fort Worth about proposal to build a 100-bed facility to help victims of sex trafficking. An issue that Wallnau was pleased to show a video of an angry Landon Schott, apparently preaching about:

"What kind of people would fight against helping the most abused women? The Fort Worth Zoning Commission led by Lashondra Stringfellow, has lied and manipulated, trying to strongarm us into rezoning our property. We are not rezoning our property. Our property is zoned for church related activities and the city of Fort Worth does not determine what those are. The bible does. On July 17, the Stra Telegram published an article claiming that Mercy Culture had already applied for a zoning change. On September 13^th, a sign was put on our property saying zoning change requested. This is a lie. We will expose every member of the city council and the Fort Worth leadership who continues to resist, harass, and discriminate against us and our faith. We will not be silenced. We will not be bullied. We will not be stopped." - Landon and Heather Schott

The way that he presents this problem sounds horrible. What kind of people would fight against helping abused women? Turns out it is not the city but the neighbors of this proposed residence. It is also not that they are unsympathetic, but they question if the location makes the most sense for the victims as well as the homeowners. I know the NAR thinks only they have rights but everyone else does as well. As for the whiny victimization card Landon is playing, here is a statement from 2022, from the President of the neighborhood association:

"It has nothing to do with their religion or their practices or their beliefs," Scanlon said. "And it's not even an issue of whether we even want them to do this or not; it has nothing to do with that. It is purely a location issue. That is a bad location for their victims. I don't care what they say." - Chanin Scanlon

I would tend to believe this person. I can easily see the security concerns of housing 100 victims of sex trafficking. I am sure parents in that neighborhood are not being callous. It sounds like they are just being prudent. Landon Schott acted stunned that someone thought they could tell him what to do with the church's property. Yeah Landon, those are called laws. They are called zoning ordinances. You are not being bullied. You are not being silenced. You are being told what the law is but because you already disregarded the law and common sense during COVID, who cares right? People are not discriminating against you because of your faith. Get over yourself. This dominionist nonsense has infected the entire church. Disagreement is not discrimination. I will tell you what discrimination is - telling a black congregant they cannot wear a Black Lives Matter tee shirt you pompous hireling. Where is your understanding of being a good neighbor? Of redeeming the time with the lost? None of that matters when you replace the gospel with Christian nationalism.

"If these elected officials do not serve the people of Fort Worth, we are going to vote out every single one of them. What happens when people stop believing the lie about separation of church and state and they understand that was only created to keep the state out of the church not the church out of the state. When you start getting Christians active in the community - Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love God and love people and there is no greater way to love people than getting godly politicians elected that will bring godly policies to serve people." - Landon and Heather Schott

The bullying and threatening all seem to be coming from this church. Schott shows off how he was trained by the finest NAR minds that understand American history less than they understand even the bible. Many of the people founding this country were escaping religious persecution. That LAST thing they would have wanted was to establish a theocracy. Sure, there were some zealots like John Adams, but most were deists who Landon Schott would probably have removed from his church for wearing the wrong tee shirt. I know that dominionists do not want to hear this but there have always been different religions in this country. That is not a "left" thing or a "woke" thing. It is a reality thing. We had a period of time where the church tried to force Christianity upon the unsaved. It was called the Crusades and it was not particularly Christian.

Just two concluding points on the abuse of the scripture Schott cites, which I have included as the key verses for today. It is true that all of the law and prophets hang on loving God and loving our neighbor. OUR NEIGHBOR. It is the neighbors of Landon Schott that are vehemently protesting the construction of this shelter. You can say maybe there is some "not in my backyard" or property value concerns but what you cannot do is make your neighbors your enemies. What you really should not be doing as an alleged pastor then is to try and shift the blame to politicians and name check them, so they will probably be harassed. Your neighbors have spoken but you do not like their opinion. So, you demonize them. You threaten them. You make false accusations against them. You know, in the name of Jesus, right?

The second problem here is the common NAR fallacy that there are evil politicians and then there are godly ones. The "godly ones" are conveniently all in the same political party. Except they are no godlier than the ones you loathe. Heck, Texas cannot even go a month it seems without another pastor being exposed as decidedly ungodly, let alone politicians. Except Landon and Heather Schott think they know better. They are dripping with smarmy arrogance throughout this video, proud of all the chaos they are causing for their neighbors, who they openly admit they are supposed to love. The hypocritical disconnect is staggering. That is what comes from NAR dominionist teaching that reduces the lost to our enemies and emboldens us to view anything positive is divine favor and anything negative as demonic attack. So, when neighbors object to your building plans to dump 100 sex trafficking victims a block from where their kids play, they suddenly are deemed to be attacking your faith. When a zoning commission representative tells you that you have to change your zoning, she is marginalized and dehumanized to being anti-Christian, instead of merely anti-wrong zoning. Then you call her out by name, all but assuring she will then be abused by your followers. I would say it is disgusting but hopefully that point has already been made. I would normally just sign off by saying mark and avoid but I think we should also pray that the people of Fort Worth rise up, Christian and unbeliever to foil this scheme to take over local government and that they find a more appropriate site for their proposed shelter that takes into consideration the command to truly love our neighbor as ourselves. Not despise our neighbors for having the temerity to disagree with us.
