As foretold (warned) in the New Testament..
2 Timothy 4:3-4
New International Version
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
New Living Translation (NLT)
3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
Hope that doesn’t mean that the conservative churches that wait until 2024 get bamboozled.
You obviously spent some time in formulating that reply, thank you for the effort.
However, my complaint was about the idiot author of the thread starter article. My interest in the inner workings of the Methodist church are shallow, at best. Not a member, so I have no dog in this fight. I had moved on with my life after hitting the “post” button for my reply.
