Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
More than 60 Methodist theologians, professors, and clergy have signed a statement of faith calling for a return to the core tenets of the Wesleyan-Methodist tradition amid a split within the United Methodist Church over its longstanding debate on LGBT issues.
The statement, titled “The Faith Once Delivered: A Weseylan Witness,” was published following a gathering of about 50 Christian scholars at the Next Methodism Summit in Alexandria, Virginia, back in January. “I believe many parts of the Wesleyan-Methodist tradition are experiencing a crisis of identity.
We have forgotten who we are. We have lost the treasure the Lord has entrusted to us and our nerve to ‘spread Scriptural holiness,’” he said.
The release of the statement comes as many United Methodist Churches consider leaving the denomination the largest Methodist denomination in the world over its decades-long debate on same-sex marriage and ordination of homosexual clergy.
All denominations need to go back to their original roots which are not their denomination but the Word of God. Every denomination needs to revisit its beliefs compare to the scriptures and correct the mistakes they are teachings.
Every denomination thinks its beliefs are correct. It’s obvious there are many denominations and they all differ and not all can be correct.
I’ve noticed all of the denominations have teachings that are not correct, some worse than others. Study the Bible for yourself and base your doctrine on the word.
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
That faith that Jude spoke about is the word of God.
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
It’s impossible to debate something that the Holy Word condemns. Only an evil reprobate would try to debate this issue.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served themselves more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26 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:
Romans 1:27 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.
Romans 1:28 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.
