[Mr. Mulliner]

This book is old and out of print, but I still recommend it to anyone who can find it. It's a well documented case against liberalism and even Marxism in mainline church denominations. The leadership of the UMC, of course, is at least as guilty as any other denomination.

Why would he do that?

[LisaAnne]

Preach it to someone else.

These churchmen likely are following the promptings of the King(-sized) James Bible-toting and totally repentant "Brother Bill" Clinton, who regularly used to darken the doorway of DC's liberal Foundry Methodist Church for photo ops...

You are right about Church and Society but I was very late in discovering this group.Most of us don't pay attention unless it's in our face.

[Cordova Belle]

The problem was that the Methodist church has become ruled not by the laity but by the ecclesiastics.

The same thing has happened in the Presbyterian churches nationwide.... There is a HUGE movement afoot to wrest control for the soul of this denomination from the clutches of truly wacko leftists and give it back to the grassroots in the pews. The call themselves the Covenant churches within the PCUSA and publish their own newspaper, The Presbyterian Layman, to keep the grassroots aware of the efforts to bring the denomination back to its moorings.

Good Grief!

UM Bishop Joseph Sprague is a Marxist pretending to be a pastor. He denies the Divinity and Resurrection of Jesus. Sprague also sees Allah and Jesus as the same Lord. More about Joseph Sparague can be found in the thread below.

Southern Baptist churches, which, despite the name, are located in all 50 states. Many go by the name of "So-and-So Community church," such as Pastor Rick Warren's South Cost

Many of us use the name "First Baptist Church of.....". Maybe we need to work on that pride issue...LOL

[jbstrick]

Crap like this is why I am no longer affiliated with the Methodist church...

[Jorge]

....calls for him to "repent from domestic and foreign policies that are incompatible with the teaching and example of Christ."

Since when did the teachings of Christ matter to the Liberal Methodist Leaders?
What a bunch of hypocrites.

[Let's Roll]

"Repent to who? God or the Methodist leaders?"

Excellent.

[Knute]

There are any number of non-denominational conservative evangelical Bible believing churches across the country.
Of the 37 different varieties of Baptists, most are sound doctrinally. Evangelical Free churches, Free Methodist (NOT to be confused with UMC), many Lutheran churches (avoid ELCA)still preach the gospel. Visit several churches, ask questions of the leaders. Make ONE of hem your new church home.

[Cordova Belle]

Ha! In the South, you can get by with that name...but on the West Coast, for example, where I lived for 15 years, it would have been the kiss of death--though some did well anyhow.

The use of "Community Church" has become widespread by a lot of churches, not just Baptist, to avoid being pigeon-holed.

Back to the topic at hand: Our pastor often quips: "Some of you still sit in churches that stopped teaching Biblical principles years ago, with the excuse 'We can't leave...Grandma is buried out back.' Well, Grandma would get up and leave, too, if she could!" :-)

[Sam Cree]

"Hmmmm....looks like it's really time to become a CATHOLIC in S. Dakota....."

True enough, these guys make the Pope look like a saint.

This is what happens when a church forsakes the Word of God as its ultimate authority. It's clear to anyone who watches this denomination that they no longer hold the bible to be authoritative. The Jesus of the Bible was no pacifist, and just war in perfectly in line with scripture. I have one word for the methodist churches of this stripe: I-C-H-A-B-O-D

A church exists to advance communism? I think your tinfoil beanie might be cutting off the circulation.

Why would a church want to advance an atheistic philosophy?

[Krodg]

There's no need to be testy with another FReeper over what is clearly stated in the Bible.

Hebrews 10:25

Not forsaking the assembling of ouselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

I went to a Methodist church, looked at the printing in the song books and found out they were supplied by the United Methodists. No money in the offering plate and last time attending.
I like the Salvation Army Church.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Check it out. Check out the history. That's exactly why it was formed. Don't take my word for it.
