Methodist Church Has Congregants Do Calming Breath Exercises Before Reading ‘Triggering’ Bible Verses
Protestia ^ | July 17, 2024 | staff

Posted on 07/17/2024 11:18:18 AM PDT by Morgana

Allendale United Methodist Church is one the most progressive we’ve ever seen. Led by Rev. Andy Oliver, his congregation is “committed to anti-racism and radical solidarity with folx on the margin,” while he himself is “grounded in liberation theology and following Jesus” while being “a community organizer who always located himself with the oppressed.”

When they’re not having drag-queen-led worship services, Easter services, monthly drag-led bingo, or selling merch featuring Jesus as a drag queen, they’re preaching cringe sermons that give trigger warnings for “violent” bible verses, reassuring congregants that if the scripture is too triggering, people can leave, all the while leading them through calming breath exercises.

Check out that shirt from this speaker at, then keep on watching for a wonderful surprise that I guarantee you’ll hate.

“This is me, a man who loves to preach about Jesus, is openly gay, and has a side he’s never shared before, until today” Impastor comes out as drag for the first time to , while insisting that gay men in two income households need to redistribute the queer wealth.

UMCists pretend that the will of God continuously changes to be whatever is the consensus of atheist left-wingers in New York and LA.

Hubbard didn’t pretend that Jesus forget to mention Xenu or e-meters. He was willing to call his new religion a new religion.

"We have methodically removed all the pews so that you can all sit like this while we read from the Bible."

To: Tell It Right

The Word is like a two edged sword. Perhaps they need to consider what they are doing there if certain Bible passages set them off emotionally.

For a good triggering, they should read the story of how God destroyed Sodom.

(deep breath)

(Pride Month)

Satan has been celebrating homosexuals

since the days of Sodom and Gomorrah for 4,100 or 4,200 years now (Genesis chapter 19).

Some believe slightly later.

The apostasy and the Days of Lot are upon us. As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.

Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this Godless Reprobate Agenda. (For the thread)

They were angry at Lot for not bringing
out the 2 angels so that they all could
rape them. Over 4,000 years ago.

Genesis 19:4-11
King James Version

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

A small percentage of the world has gone full reprobate - just as prophesied



Just as prophesied in the New Testament by Jesus Christ Himself:

Ephesians 6:12 King James Version

Genesis 19:27-28
King James Version

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

Genesis 19:23-25
King James Version

23 The Sun was risen upon the Earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
Brimstone and Fire
from the Lord out of heaven;

25 And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain,
and all the inhabitants of the cities,
and that which grew upon the ground.

Romans 1:24-32
King James Version

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

We're in the Last Days IMHO

I hope that we can wake up some part of the Earth 🌏🌍🌎

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
King James Version

11 And for this cause God shall send them Strong Delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

That Old Serpent called the Devil and Satan has been twisting Scripture for a long, long time. 😞😦🥺🙁😔

There are not enough waking hours in the day to try to get the world 🌏🌍🌎 to turn away from this madness and Satanic deception

This is an open, public mockery of Almighty God.

An open defiance against God that cannot and will not end well. Genesis chapter 19 again.

(It is completely delusional and madness to teach that a man can become a woman and that a woman can become a man.)

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is an excellent smooth-talking false prophet working for the Deceiver Satan, his real father - John 8:44

What is one of the Bible Verses that “offends” them?

Could the following be a few more?

 14 What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?  15 And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:

 16 And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?  17 So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself. James Chapter 2

...

Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.
[2 Thessalonians 2:14]

...

Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
[John 20:23]

The first two passages repudiate the "by faith alone" and "by scripture alone" lies that have become prevalent.
