Methodist Bible college in the U.K. fired a Christian theologian and threatened to report him as a terrorist because of his tweets in opposition to homosexuality, his attorneys claimed.

Dr. Aaron Edwards, who taught theology at Cliff College in Derbyshire, England, was dismissed from the school after being accused of "bringing the college into disrepute" on social media last month.

"Homosexuality is invading the church," Edwards tweeted on Feb. 19. "Evangelicals no longer see the severity of this [because] they're busy apologizing for their apparently barbaric homophobia, whether or not it's true.

"This *is* a ‘Gospel issue,’ by the way. If sin is no longer sin, we no longer need a Savior," Edwards added.

Edwards' tweet went viral and prompted blowback, to which Edwards responded: "That *is* the conservative view. The acceptance of homosexuality as ‘not sinful’ *is* an invasion upon the Church, doctrinally. This is not controversial. The acceptance is controversial. Most of the global Church would agree. It is not homophobic to declare homosexuality sinful..."

Who would have ever imagined 20 years ago that the dividing of the wheat from the chaff would be happening in this way and this quickly?

“...Las Vegas of the South...”

“Sin City of the South” was a more common name. Back in WWII over one million men passed through Fort Benning. If 15 percent engaged in Phenix City vice you can just imagine that it was big business. A Baptist Sunday School teacher, Hugh Bentley founded the Russell Betterment Association in 1949 and campaigned for a cleanup at great risk to his life and limb.

It was not until the 1954 murder of the Alabama Attorney General-elect Albert Patterson that martial rule was declared, and the National Guard was sent in. The mobs had the mayor, the judges, the city police and the county police in their palm. The National Guard General assembled all the corrupt law enforcement and stated, “Turn in your patrol car keys, your badges, and your guns.” Thus, began something of a cleanup. Today, most of the vice is on the Columbus, Georgia side of the river.

Romans 1:26, 27

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

I can't imagine God is going to look kindly on that.
Luke 17:2:
It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to sin.

I ponder Unitarian/Universalists

A couple of them came to my door once with pamphlets for the church. I asked them what it stood for and they didn't know.

I call them the “Church of Seinfeld”, a Church about nothing.

When I was young we often heard the term “queer”. We simply thought it was someone weird and nothing more as lots of teens acted weird for the attention it brought. Yes, I was raised a “sheltered” kid.
After graduation and in the work force I realized there was more to it as a trucker came in cussing a blue streak because he had been accosted by a “queer!”
Even the dictionaries were used euphemisms to not say clearly what it meant but I began to realize it was really something to watch out about.
Once in the military we had the talk about it and I could not believe my ears! Every year after that we had to sign papers showing we had the “talk”.

Now today they expect us to disavow the talk about these perverts that was so ingrained in us in the military! I’ve gotten 30 days in FB jail for speaking out on this subject several times. You can’t make us accept something as normal when their own actions show they are mentally ill.

Is that where you live?

When I used to drive through, I always thought of the great novels that could be written about the excitement, crime, and wimmen of Phenix City.

Good to know that Methodists aren’t effectively Christians at all anymore. There needs to be a great exodus out of these demonically co-opted institutions.

Not an accident then that GW Bush was a Methodist?
