I still just can't believe this. I hope it's a blip on the radar and that other Methodist churches (and other denominations and Christian fellowships) will reject it.

We need to look at ALL, repeat, ALL churches that MIGHT BE targets of Islam. We are a CHRISTIAN NATION and that is the number one reason all the Islamist are trying their damndest to change this country. Not to mention odumbo has been their leader since day one.

this is how they win, through tolerance and understanding. I’m not a church goer, was born a Methodist but this is BS.

I’m skeptical that you actually found anyone who had heard of this.

Other than my MIL’s funeral the last Methodist service I went to was about 25 years ago to take my MIL to Easter Sunday services. Woman pastor but I was prepared for that. Nice music. Prayers said by the minister but no one in the congregation praying. Not even saying “Amen” which I quickly learned not to do. And the homily or I guess the sermon is the more appropriate word - on Easter Sunday but never saying the name “Jesus” or the word “resurrection.” It was largely about helping others as I recall. Sigh. And no donuts and coffee. Now - this was in a college town so that could explain a lot.

Islamic subversives love to lump themselves together with Christians and Jews by talking about "the three great Abrahamic religions," as if there is an equivalence among them. Many ill educated and credulous christian clerics, in a misguided attempt to be charitable, I guess, seem to buy this garbage.

The problem is that they don't even realize that Islam rejects the divinity of Christ, thus electing to follow a false belief system.There is no basis for accommodation by Christians of Islam as a religious faith.

Unfortunately, many church attendees have very little background in the basics of their faith and what the Bible says about it. Many probably believe now that the most important thing about being a Christian is being “tolerant”, while forgetting verses like “for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God”.

Instead of querying Methodist for their reaction to this news, your time would have been better spent checking out this story first. If you had, you'd have discovered as I did that it's completely false:

The local newspaper in Waco investigated and declared it false.

The Central Conference of the Methodist church to which this tiny church in Bosqueville belongs says it's false.

The current pastor of the church says it's a lie.

A member of the church for over 40 years and who hasn't missed a service in 5 years says it's false.

This is another case of "a lie racing around the world before the truth gets out of bed and puts it's pants on."

How about a retraction.

Have the Methodist preachers do a little bit of study on the Quran and they will come away horrified at what they believe. Give them "The Project" and the terms hijraj and Taqiyya to look up as well. It will come to them that this is one of the methods they use to iniltrate, destroy, and take over churches.

“I couldn’t believe what was going on inside of a Christian denomination...”

Well, there’s your mistake. Methodists parted ways with Christianity quite some time ago.

Does this mean they haven’t all converted yet?

The United Church of Christ is doing the same thing.

Some churches here are sponsoring refugees. A good friend of mine right now is in a verbal battle with them about it. Something I know I will keep an eye on.

Once a place becomes a place for Islamic worship, Muslims will regard it as Islamic property.
