UMC Ministry Launches Hotline Staffed With Chaplains To Help Traumatized Congregants Cope With Trump Win
Protestia ^ | November 7, 2024 | staff

Posted on 11/09/2024 10:21:53 AM PST by Morgana

The United Methodist Church continues to be a simmering cauldron of every vile and aberrant theology conceived in hell, which is why it is almost exclusively populated by weak men and women who are led around by their feelings and fleshly desires rather than the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Enter Reconciling Ministries, an organization “committed to intersectional justice across and beyond the United Methodist connection, working for the full participation of all LGBTQ+ people throughout the life and leadership of the Church.” In their role, they have over 1100 UMC congregations affiliated with them. In light of President Trump’s decisive victory over Harris, they launched a hotline for traumatized, depressed, or otherwise anxious Methodists to vent and receive emotional support.

The hotline is staffed with LGBTQ-affirming pastors and chaplains, and a quick perusal of the comments demonstrates how badly these folk need it, with one woman lamenting that she hadn’t gotten out of bed since hearing the news, and impastor Valerie Ohle sharing her tale of woe and suffering.

“I have been in constant congregational and pastoral care mode since last night. The majority of my congregation is LGBTQ. The family renting our parsonage is here legally, but only speaks Spanish. We are one of only 4 fully inclusive churches in our ultra-conservative county and new folks are reaching out. My own grief will just have to wait its turn. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.”

Sounds like their faith is shaky. They should be looking to the Lord and engaging in some self reflection.

Christ speaks of this. These are people who sacrificed a real relationship with God to make their political part their god

Matthew 7:21-23

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’

Good opportunity to preach about Satan, his surrogates and his deceptions to these fools.

Yes they unstable but if this church had been preaching the gospel all along maybe half of them wouldn’t have been so bad off?

Come on now I’ve been posting about these churches for what over a year now? We all know these “churches” are not Christian and are leading them astray now we wonder why they are mental.

More likely UMC will look at the number of rainbow flags in front of the church and wonder if it’s enough.

So much “sorrow”, “rage” and “fear” for idiots who are supposed to be religious. Sounds more like mental issues to me.

These are the LGBTQ+ people who did a hostile takeover of the United Methodist Church. The people who believed in God and Scripture split off from that Church.

In the churches I have attended, you’re more likely to see a victory celebration after Trump’s win.

(See also my tagline.)
