Long long ago.
How far they’ve fallen.
I’ve noticed the same thing.
My daughters friends, even the liberal ones, oppose abortion.
These are millennials.
......”Since they look on the presence of a fetus as a foreign object in their bodies, it makes sense to consider removing it as a health procedure”......
And yet when this ‘foreign object’ is ‘wanted’ it suddenly changes to “I’m having A BABY”.....
And largely parishioners who lost faith in the changing PC doctrinal ideology and teachings of the church as the church hierarchy lost their way by taking their eyes off our Lord and Savior. Bible believing Christians lost their respect for the Methodist Church evolving PC orthodoxy and doctrine. For years they've been moving away from the teachings of the Holy Bible and of Gods Holy Word.
The Methodist church on my mom’s street closed it’s doors 2 years ago. The congregation had dwindled to 13. It will probably be torn down to provide additional parking for a bar next-door.
Amen
These are SINNERS.
From their Book of Resolutions:
"7.P. rohibit guns on church property To help prevent gun violence United Methodist congregations are “to display signs that prohibit carrying guns onto church property.” 8. Advocate for regulation Finally, we are called “to advocate at the local and national levels for laws that prevent or reduce gun violence.” Some of these measures include: Universal background checks on all gun purchases, ensuring that all guns are sold through licensed retailers, and establishing a minimum age of 21 years for a gun purchase or possession. Ratifying the Arms Trade Treaty. Prohibiting those convicted of violent crimes, those under restraining order due to the threat of violence, and those with serious mental illness that may be a danger to themselves or others from purchasing a gun. Ensuring greater access to services for those suffering from mental illness. Banning magazine and weapons designed to fire multiple rounds each time the trigger is pulled. Promoting technologies that help law-enforcement agencies trace crime guns and promote public safety.
United Methodist are in my opinion having attended a few services
Diluted by liberals
Southern Methodist is a better choice
Ichabod
Various denominations are listening to the false gospel of the world and becoming secularized and apostate. The United Methodist Church has been on the descent into apostasy for years now.
Wesley and Whitefield are rolling over in their graves.
The UMC is currently conducting a hugely important commission which will propose models for splitting or staying together. 3 basic models have been proposed. They each have their own link at UMC evangelical website:
Traditional Plan
One Church Plan
Connectional Conference Plan
Infanticide is not Christian.
Most of the Methodist churches in the UK are now Mosques.
Indeed.
If the process of paediotomy is to be considered a health-related procedure, who determines whether the object is a malignant growth rather than benign, and how is that decision made?
Is not the presence of such an object usually contingent upon a personal decision to engage in the implementation process, recognizing the potential outcome?
Under what subheading of theology do the decision-making processes fall, if at all? Certainly not soteriology, if the "social gospel" is to include general approval of paediotomy and prevail.
Once the context is that conception has occurred, the moral and social obligations have passed from the “rights” of one life, the mother, to a larger right, the right to life itself and to that western moral and religious obligations have always given the obligations in that right to the most vulnerable, which, if the mothers life is not endangered by the pregancy, have passed to the unborn child.
The mother, as a priority in the scheme of rights, passed the prime of herself as the priority above and over her unborn child (as long as rape did not occur) once her choices led to conception. Abortion is not about one life, the mothers. And if it is about the right to life itself, the unborn is abosultely the most vulnerable, not the mother.
The Left has accomplished a massive and evil job helping churches twist logic and moral facts to abide by a totally secular humanist agenda.
Pathetic! Jesus wept.
It’s the “orgs”. Not the people. That’s the problem.
