Church must repent for climate change sins

The call was made in the report ‘Hope in God’s Future’, received by the annual Methodist Conference on Wednesday.

The report encourages people to repent in particular for their complicity in systems that exploit creation and prey on the powerless, but also offers advice on how Christians can make positive lifestyle changes.

Rev David Gamble, the President of the Conference, said the report sent out a challenge to the Church to tackle the issue head on and commit to “significant action” over the next few years.

“The first step in making a difference is the recognition of what we’ve done wrong so far. But we can’t just stop there. We must not be beholden to economic growth at the expense of our world and the lives of those who are most vulnerable,” he said.

Later the Bangladesh Rev Baaba’louie sumthin and Rev Gamble agreed to altars of Baal installed in all churches because the Methodists should really give up any pretense of nominal Christianity if they are going to peddle this crap and further.

I'm assuming he's talking about protecting the unborn, right??? /s

I left the so-called Methodist Church 9 years ago when I finally figured out that it wasn't a church at all. It's an ultra left-wing political party. What's really sad is that most of its money-giving members don't know that.

Of course, one can't feel too sad for its members because most of them think it's a country club without the golf course.

Really. Count on the Methodists to go for this hoax. ANyone besides me remember Elian Gonzales?

Maybe Starship Troopers was onto something — the only religion left in the future is Mormonism.

"and John Wesley weeps....."

As do all of the other men whose spirit-filled encounter with God has been turned into another 'doctrine of men'.

When pressed, several preachers have confessed to me that doctrinally they 'hew the party line' because they 'signed the paper' for (insert denomination here).

Then ask them, "If God called you to preach, why do you let men tell you what to say?"

1 John 2:27 - "As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him."

Ya know, I just don't remember Jesus healing someone and saying “go forth and drive thy SUV no more”. Did I miss that? Disappointing to see that Third Day banner on a fake Christian page. Green Christians should remember the flood or possibly Sodom and Gomorrah. It's a dirt canvas, the Lord erases it when appropriate.

So... the seasons are sins? Or are they not climate change?
