New UMC Bishop Praises the Denomination’s Transformation Into a “Large, Non-Governmental Institution”

The United Methodist continues to be a simmering cauldron of every vile and aberrant theology conceived in hell, with a recent Op-Ed by Rev. Kristin Stoneking being a prime example.

A “married” lesbian and newly appointed Bishop in the denomination’s Western Jurisdiction just a few weeks ago (replacing Karen Oliveto, a famed bishop who for years denied the divinity of Christ), Stoneking is arguably worse than her predecessor.

Writing for the UMC’s Pacific School of Religion, Stoneking praised the decision of the denomination to become fully LGBTQ-affirming, calling it a “celebration for those inside the denomination” and a “victory for champions of dignity and human rights everywhere.”

Continuing this theme, Stoneking offers that the UMC, a denomination with consultative status in the United Nations, is now “uniquely positioned to speak on behalf of LGBTQ+ persons in a transnational body through the language of faith.”

Here, she encourages other denominations to follow their lead and continue their retreat from biblical Christianity while transforming into a large, non-governmental institution:

While algorithms create smaller and more niche echo chambers, large, non-governmental institutions that cross nationality boundaries but carry unifying identities like common faith or denominational identity have the power to be conduits of both complexity and community.

Put another way, “let’s be more like that.”

Stoneking concludes by “(inviting) all into furthering transnational communities that champion spirituality, compassion, and dignity for all persons.”

Satanic perverts have destroyed another protestant church.

The Laodicean church is here. The Days of Lot are here. The Days of Sodom and Gomorrah are here again.

That so many want to follow the Lying Kenyan false prophet into the Lake of Fire for all of Eternity is beyond my ability to comprehend. It's absurdity at its finest.

All according to plan.

All according to Satan's plan.

Even thus shall it be
in the Day when the
Son of Man is revealed...

The Southern District of the UMC was still very conservative until the not too distant past. The Progressives eventually gained control of the District Council of Bishops and used the pandemic to their advantage. The end is coming soon for “church”.

As a young catholic, I would have lsughed. Today, I regret alongside you. Can’t cry, because I have faith and hope and trust in Jesus. Free will is God’s way of saying FAFO.
