This is what happens when you “ordain” nurturers rather than protectors of the Faith. We need strong, not weak, men Ordained to the Catholic Christian Priesthood so that this nonsense doesn’t happen to us! It would be an abomination (to use a word that “Bishop” Sue doesn’t like ; )
This is not Christianity. This is a worshiping of a Rainbow Calf.
The “Divided” Methodist Church has been taken over by a cult. I Pray that God leads those who have lost the tradition they were raised and are searching for a new Church to call home. Lord, lead them to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, which Christ founded in the Apostles and their successors. And do not let the rainbow cult take over her, as they have the UMC.
We will the good of all individuals who are deceived by their emotions and by this culture of tolerance.
My Godmother looks like this lady and like her, my Aunt is all in on this nonsense, even thought she is still Catholic. She has said that “there is nothing wrong with this” (referring to identifying as a member of this rainbow cult). What these women and effeminate men are teaching is not the Gospel message. It is a counterfeit. Yes, Jesus ate with sinners. Yes, Jesus stood up for the woman caught in adultery. Yes, Jesus talked with the woman who was living with a man whom she was not currently Married to. But, Christ did not desire for them to make this their identity or religion, but rather a conversion towards what is good, true, and beautiful, an not an inverted version of it. He loves us too much to let us be deceived by our lowly lifestyles. He lifts us up from our guilt, but firs, we must acknowledge that our lifestyle is not ordered towards God, but an inversion of what is ordered towards the good.
Addressing the ideology ventilated, I would say that it is identification with what is between your legs, instead of identification with Christ. The specific pastors interest is probably more in the direction of getting some customers into the shop.
The fact is that since the hostile takeover, the UMC has lost 21% (about 1.2 million members), which is one of the largest single-year membership losses for any Christian denomination.
The rainbow Churches are attracting new members, but are losing more members than they are gaining.
I listened to an interview last night with Jeffrey Rickman, a former UMC Pastor who is now a part of the Global Methodist Church and he said the problem is that in order to leave the UMC, your congregation must pay 90% of what your Church has/owes in assets. And this is only for the American UMC. The UMC Churches in Africa and other parts of the World are not currently a part of the deal, but instead the UMC continues to send money to support these Churches, as not to appear racist (because, as we know, appearances matter more than truth to the rainbow cult).
My point is, that any Congregation who leaves the UMC is starting over with only 10% of what they had, while the UMC get 90% of what these leaving congregations had.
Back before the hostile takeover, the members of the rainbow cult were given the offer to leave and the deal they were given was only 60% (if I recall), but instead of taking the offer, they hijacked the convention under the cloud of Covid and held a virtual Convention where many of the traditional members could not attend and thus, the rainbow cult had the numbers to take power over the UMC. And they did not extend the same offer to the opposing faction to leave as was offered to them. Why? Probably to spite them.
This post is exactly what I needed to hear as a straight woman who used to be sympathetic to pride parades. I struggle with how to approach this issue so I usually just say “love the sinner, hate the sin.“
I am female & I once received a vision of myself as a priest with gay pride flags on my vestments. I thought “this must be a calling“ because how could God allow me to see an evil vision? Could the devil really show me a vision?! I was too afraid to think that the devil could show me something!
When I explained to my mother what I just saw she spoke like you, both with clarity of Church teaching and truth. Then, sanity and Church teaching (which are the same thing in my book) flooded me & I told my mom I would never become a priest. It’s important to stay strong in the faith. As my hometown priest told me “you know what you know.“
I have a life with many regrets, but one thing I will never regret is returning to the One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church. No matter what happens to me I will never leave. Please pray for this woman and all pride LGBT people. They are lost and confused & many are in extreme emotional distress and even suicidal.
I think if most are honest, they would say that they have many regrets. I believe this is a sign of spiritual growth.
I do believe that some dreams and visions are gifts from God, but I also believe many (and probably most) are not. I have all kinds of creative thoughts that enter into my mind throughout the day and while I sleep. I am a very vivid dreamer, but many of these thoughts do not glorify God, but rather man or my own ego.
Thank you for sharing this part of your journey. It could help someone else who is experiencing similar thoughts and feelings. Our ways are not God’s ways (Isaiah 55:8).
