Get out while you can.
I agree...many denominations are apostate now.
exceptions:
PCA
SBC
most Charismatics
nearly all country style literalists and fundies (anything with primitive in the name is not likely to be just kumbaya)
Lutheran Missouri Synod
Texas/Tennessee Church of Christ (a far cry from UCC)
Some Southern Methodists
Some Anglican Rite
can’t comment on Eastern Orthodox or Catholic though I’m partial to the periwinkle and incense of the Slavs

Thus saith the Lord:
“... I will bless those who bless thee, and curse those who curse thee...”
Gen 12:3
Israel will be cared for in spite of the apostate church.
This is the end result of Churches letting in the draft dodgers of the 60’s and 70’s in the form of allowing deferments to seminarians. These moral cowards who joined then have now reached tht point where they actually RUN those churches.
My church-Anglican—was only the first to go, but the rest are not far behind and are fast catching up in their race to the bottom.
Yep. It’s actually LONG PAST time to get out—get out while you still can.
IMO, you should indicate where you have snipped sections of the original to create your edited version. (Unless you are Joe Farrah.)
As it is, you’ve created an edited version, rather than an excerpt, without noting that fact.
I’m glad you posted this column, because it is a critically important issue, but the way you posted it is wrong, IMO.
Unfortunately, this description is right on the money!
There are more ex-Methodists than Methodists. Methodists have been divesting from the Methodist elitists for decades. But they don’t learn.
Israel is a country, not a holy entity.
I grew up a United Methodist. When I accepted Christ as Savior when I was 19, I became a regular member of the UMC. I was vice-President of the Wesley Foundation at Mississippi State. I worked at Lake Junaluska Assembly (home of the United Methodist Church in the Southeast) one summer. I met my wife at Christ UMC in Jackson, got married there, raised my kids to go there, and was very active.
However, there was always that nagging feeling I had in the back of my mind...I felt that our church (a bible-believing, Conservative church) was simply put out there as a cash cow for the State Conference and the National Church. I had a bad taste when, growing up, I had heard that they opposed the war in Vietnam yet had no words for the millions slaughtered in the Killing Fields of SE Asia in the wake of our cutting and running. My bad feelings about this were affirmed when they came out against the liberation of the Iraqi people.
When we moved out of Jackson, MS, I decided to NOT transfer to a UMC. We tried a Baptist church for a while, but the Lord led us to a Congregational Methodist Church (Wesleyan teachings, but was congregational instead of hierarchial). My family is VERY happy there. Plus, the Lord has truly blessed us.
I don't condemn the UMC as the Church of Satan. There are many honest, sincere, bible-believing Christians still attending the UMC. Many are trying to change it from the inside. However, I have 4 kids and I don't have the luxury of trying to fight from the inside while my kids are subjected to lukewarm, leftist indoctrination.
Now that they've cursed Israel, I expect calamity to come upon the United Methodist Church.
Perhaps the folks in the tents were right all along.
Israel is a land which refuses to acknowledge the Christ. It should be a CHRISTIAN nation, but instead the Christians have sold out to Zionist Jews.
Satan is crafty and knows the greatest temtation is in man's pride. His greatest lie and temptation in the garden was that man could be like God and decide for himself what was right and wrong.
"For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Excellent column.

Pretty much describes the whole mainline.
Why? Because Israelis have the nerve to defend themselves and to not willingly put their heads on the Islamic chopping block?
These types of people tolerate Jews only when they're defenseless and meek.
Not only are the mainlines anti-Israel, but often anti-capitalism and by extention, anti-entrepreneurial.
Except when it comes to them wanting and taking your hard earned money, then they apparently don’t care.

Methinks had he known then what we know now, Wesley would have let Whitfield have the Methodist church.
I did about 20 years ago when the associate pastor was an unabashed homosexual preaching about the virtues of spending time in bars. I found a small OPC church and started to learn to read and love scripture. I had never heard the gospel preached before. The Universal Methodist Church is a stench in Christendom. I have parents that still attend because that is where their friends go. They will not hear the truth.

Maybe you would loan me a teleporter?
