20 percent as progressive/liberal
The cancer continues to spread!
The last Methodist preacher I had was a lesbian who thought animals had souls exactly the way we do, and that Jesus had some cool ideas and was worth paying attention to — and whether or not he was the Son of God didn’t really matter.
Thank you very much for posting this
Don’t know, don’t care - left twenty years ago because it was obvious back then they didn’t know - who needs a “faith” like that????.....
The Methodists, Presbyterians, etc. will all probably be taken over as was the Episcopal Church and destroy themselves.
Once upon a time the Episcopal Church was one of the most conservative churches in America. I grew up in that church and when I was a kid I loved it, was altar boy, the whole nine yards. Now I won’t claim them at all. The last 35 plus years the church has moved so far left I can’t recognize it. The last three or four presiding Bishops have destroyed this fine church.
I am at the point I just pray at home.
Nothing. If they believe anything, they are whatever things won’t upset their congregations: abortion, homosexuality, extra-marriage affairs, etc. They just don’t want to offend anybody anymore (except God . . . they have no problem with that). Just don’t wanna’ make their congregations upset, ya’ know.
What it means to be a Methodist. 1961 at 12 years of age I was at Methodist Sunday School and was told there would be a class to learn what it means to be a Methodist. Afterwards I would be baptized. I was the only kid from the entire Congregation who went to the class. The teacher spent 4 Sundays reading from the Bible Stories Book of the story of the kid with the Coat of Many Colors and the Drought and the brothers and the grain storage. 5th Sunday I was baptized. I think I learned that I should save for a rainy day. About 10 years later I went to Methodist Bible study with the college class. I learned a lot about the Christian Religion. On the Simpsons Bart did ask what does it mean to be a Methodist? The retreats to the camp ground with softball and cookouts were fun.
Its leadership believes its membership exists as an endless source of money. Further, that same leadership's real religion is rabid liberalism.
Departed that insane asylum over 40 years ago. God was kicked out long before I left.
Ping!
AW,
This might be of interest?
The United Methodist Church founded Hand Gun Control Inc. I’ll stop before I say any more and get banned, but suffice to say I’ll never be a Methodist nor shed a tear if that church goes away.
Methodist / former Methodist ping!
It looks bad for the traditionalists as of today, but keep praying!
Seems like Biblically, not much.
What do you get when you cross a United Methodist with a Jehovah’s Witness?
Someone who knocks on your door for no reason.
What kind of survey is that as defining conservative or liberal?! I have been a poster on so-called Christian forums which requires those who I.D. as Christian to signify assent to the Nicene Creed (with a couple asterisks), and the majority of which are liberal. One of the snowflake mods is a female prohomosexual priest, and another "Christian" poster is some sort of Lutheran in a "legal (other) marriage."
First poll at GC yesterday was that 55% favored the Traditional Plan - that actually sounds pretty positive.
