Another female pastor....when you abandon the Biblical guide for pastors then all bets are off.
Thank you, that makes a lot of sense.
Definitely not a real pastor, just a social justice warrior.
This is what you get out of an admitted “progressive” Methodist female “pastor”. Her job is to make people happy as they go to hell.
100% right, No name.
Hey, the Army of Satan is not adverse to possessing alleged ministers of the Gospel.
The real question when it comes to abortion is when does that life have a soul. The Bible (OT and NT) is clear that the soul (or spirit, small s) is also established at conception.
He said that Christianity is the only religion that has that belief! I found that hard to believe so I did just a tiny bit of research. IIRC I only looked at Hindu, Buddhist and Islam - but they all had the soul entering the person at various weeks/months after conception. And IIRC, in Islam there were a couple of different times depending on which verse was used.
Like Ronald Reagan said (paraphrased) “Ya know, it’s interesting how all the people that are for abortion have already been born!”
The website says she was previously at first methodist church of Omaha, where the current pastor is a woman who lists Buddha as an inspiration.
“a woman who lists Buddha as an inspiration”
Buddha the man, or “buddha” the botanical?
1) She’s claiming not helping someone is the same as murdering someone, which is clearly false. This is a false equivalence fallacy.
2) She’s giving us a false choice, we can support policies she supports, or you can do nothing, and not helping gets us back to her first fallacy.
Untied United Methodist Church
Rev. Debra McKnight, founding pastor
Shouldn’t that be pastoress A female pastor
(person who tends to a flock)
Another reason the UMC resembles the Titanic.
This is worth looking at:https://www.theurbanabbey.org/meet-pastor
And there's your problem ...
That about says it all. A coffee shop that doubles as a bookstore, and also as a church as well. Three hats in one.
If the bank ever threatens to foreclose on her mortgage, she could meet payments by adding even more hats: How about a Tattoo Parlor / Pawn Shop / Medical Marijuana Dispensary / Coffee shop / bookstore / church?
Thank you for your insights and kind words. The congregation’s “disaffiliate” vote was 95%. The result didn’t surprise me, but the margin did; I expected a tighter outcome.
The Methodist/UMC drift into “friendship with the world” is not a recent thing; it began over a hundred years ago, and accelerated exponentially with the merger that formed the UMC in 1968(? I think that was the year, if not it’s close).
Riley Case is a retired UMC elder who has written a fascinating (IMO) series of posts on this drift in “Juicy Ecumenism”:

Blessings, brother!

ROFL. Throw in “gay bath house” and you’ve nailed it!

What’s a “woman”?
