Methodists Decide "What We Need is More Sin"

[MitzaLizalor]

Hell may not provide lesser degrees of torment (the slightly noxious grotto, the mildly rancid inglenook) but there are degrees of bounty in Heaven. Jesus explains it like this:

Matthew 5:17-18, 19 For verily I say unto you [Jesus speaking] Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Wow! “I never knew,” except I did: because I'd read God's description of the world to come leaving no doubt as to who was eligible and who was not. While the status of coffee drinkers versus Those Who Like Cocoa is not detailed by God, the so-called rainbow coalition is expressly reviled. Methodists who want to marry a tree or worship the pope, for example, necessarily stop being Methodists in the same way that vegetarians wanting to eat horse flesh necessarily stop being vegetarians.

There isn't a special caste of vegetarianism where boiled horse counts as a vegetable.

Christians follow the example of Christ and His words are recorded for us to read. The Law referred to in Matthew 5:17 is also recorded so we know what Christ was talking about. Some things are frowned upon, others are absolutely forbidden.

Ref.
Exodus 22:7	Theft of property by third party	Thief pays double	1 goblet @ $800	$1,600
Exodus 22:1	Theft & sale of livestock	Thief pays quadruple Thief pays quintuple	3 sheep @ $350 (dressed) 2 oxen @ $3750 (dressed)	$4,200 $37,500
Exodus 22:18	Witchcraft	Death	Crystal ball @ $975 Antique cauldron @ $2,850	Death Death

Of course nobody has to believe that. Scrying into crystal balls is rather fashionable in some circles, as is cooking up toadstool broth or doing horoscopes. How can such people believe what God has provided or accept Christ's teaching on those topics? Obviously they cannot because God has prohibited such activities. What about cattle rustling? Is that OK? In the midnight hour, covered over with a horse blanket, wriggling along the ground with a hypodermic of knockout drops ready to pounce on the beast, eager buyers a little way off, is this an activity available to Methodists? To answer that a simple questionnaire is provided.

□ I do not accept THE KORAN. I do not call my house a MOSQUE. I am not a MUSLIM.
□ I do not accept THE UPANISHADS. I do not call my house a TEMPLE. I am not a HINDU.
□ I do not accept THE BIBLE. I do not call my house a CHURCH. I am not a CHRISTIAN.

How would these Methodists fill out that form? They actively reject The Bible, showcased by all the rainbow stuff whereby ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN activities are promoted. Falling as they do in the same category as witchcraft and being more severe than theft of oxen, sheep or goblets, can one assume that Methodiststs approve of cattle rustling? Or accept techniques of meditation presented in the Upanishads? Who knows? They very likely read horoscopes and do tarot cards and see nothing wrong with a 17-armed half monkey "ornament" according to taste and décor. But they DO call their joints "Churches" and may even think they're "Christians," never having read what Christ taught or the laws He endorsed. How would God describe such no-hopers? Would He regard them fondly? Will they be least in the kingdom of Heaven? Or will they be absolutely forbidden. And yes, there is a precedent:

Nahum 3:4-5 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

I wonder if we need to worry so much about false Christians volunteering themselves to go to Hell? Jesus Himself says he will only save 144,000 souls when He returns (which will be any day now) [Revelation 7:3–8, Revelation 14:1, Revelation 14:3–5], so the less competition for spaces on the Jesus train the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Now a Methodist church in Dallas has decided to defy a ban on rainbow put in place by Christian Republican Governor Greg Abbot. This so-called "church" painted its entrance steps in rainbow colors. Can you imagine God's rage at seeing sin promoted in His church? It seems to me this is a perfect time for Governor Greg call in his National Guard and cover this sin. Better yet, have the guard remove the steps altogether and let the sinners figure out how to get in.

Psalm 35:27-28 Let them shout for joy and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

I decided to look at their METHODIST HYMN-BOOK and right there on page 1 (it's a bit difficult to read) in the 3rd verse, which is quoted below:

Jesus! the name that calms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
’Tis music in the sinner's ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace.

To what extent does that bunch celebrate joy, gladness or righteousness as outlined in the 35th Psalm? To what extent have their sorrows ceased? There are of course many different standards of righteousness, not all in agreement with God's explicit standard.

"Why is it explicit?" they may ask. And it's simple: God has recorded it in The Bible so that we can read it and know what His standard is. Many weird sects and cults do not accept The Bible as any sort of authority; indeed as-yet-undiscovered tribes in the Amazon basin or the wild north of Japan do not even know that it exists. And since they're undiscovered, we have no idea what their standard might be. This does not apply to Methodists: they have a hymn-book and The Bible and presumably can read so must be aware of God's standard even if they disagree with it.

"So why call themselves Methodists?" any sane person may wonder. I have no idea. Plenty of people [heathens -ed.] have standards differing from, or diametrically opposed to, what God teaches us. Many say there's no God anyway to teach anyone anything. And they don't claim to be Methodists. Here, where very little joy is wrought by a thousand tongues from the look of things, the standard is diametrically opposed to anything Biblical AND YET they masquerade as Methodists? The only solution I can see is that their sect is no longer Christian. No wonder they register their unique take on JOY!

The last head of United Methodists was a lesbo. When she decided to retire I thought, "Good. Now Methodists can stop sinning." But no, they just elected another lesbo to replace the one leaving. Do Methodists think God does not notice these things? Do they think they can mock God? The great and historical denomination of John Wesley is now the most sinful one in Christianity.

Oh, Dear. 'Tis a sad day for the Methodists, dear Brother Mayor Hold — and it will be even sadder when they stand before Almighty on the Day of Judgment!

I Corinthians 6:9,10:

⁹ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of .

I Peter 4:5 "Who shall give account to that is ready to judge the quick and the dead."

Those Methodist homersexualists may think they are showing that they are welcoming (and welcomed), but their sad, rainbow attire will not save them when they find out just how unwelcome they are in Heaven!
