CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 2, 2024
THE METHODIST CHURCH HAS BEEN IN DECLINE FOR MANY YEARS. DONATIONS ARE WAY DOWN. IT’S NO SECRET WHY. THEY HAVE ABANDONED THE CENTRAL TENANTS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH AND EMBRACED THE WORLD.
THE DENOMINATION’S GENERAL CONFERENCE IS MEETING THIS WEEK IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA. MARK TOOLEY, WHO WRITES FOR THE WEBSITE JUICY ECUMINISM, SAYS THE METHODISTS ARE ENACTING A SEXUAL REVOLUTION. THE DENOMINATION THAT CLAIMS JOHN WESLEY AS ITS FOUNDER IS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A RESOLUTION THAT WILL DISCONNECT SEX FROM MARRIAGE, EVEN MONOGAMY. THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH HAS OFFICIALLY TAUGHT “SEXUAL RELATIONS ARE AFFIRMED ONLY WITH THE COVENANT OF MONOGAMOUS, HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE.”
THE PROPOSED REVISION, APPROVED BY 75 PERCENT IN COMMITTEE, SAYS “WE AFFIRM HUMAN SEXUALITY AS A SACRED GIFT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SEXUAL INTIMACY CONTRIBUTES TO FOSTERING THE EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS AND TO NURTURING HEALTHY SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE GROUNDED IN LOVE, CARE AND RESPECT.”
I DON’T RECALL READING ANY OF THIS IN SCRIPTURE. METHODISTS APPEAR NOT TO BE READING SCRIPTURE AT ALL, OR BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
Thanks for writing, Carrie. If the church can’t stand for righteousness, who will? I think you’ll like my latest book “A Watchman in the Night: What I’ve Seen Over 50 Years reporting on America”
