NOW YOU KNOW WHY JUDGEMENT HAS TO BEGIN IN THE HOUSE OF GOD; FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A HOUSE OF CHAOS AND A MARKET FOR STRANGE DOCTRINES & STRANGE TEACHINGS:

1st Peter 4: 17-19 ‘“For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.”’

Mathew 21: 12-13 ‘“Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.”’

1st Timothy 4:1-2 ‘“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.”’

2nd Timothy 4: 1-4 ‘“I charge you therefore before God and The LORD Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”’

When it comes to the Word of God, it is not about “Liberalism” nor “Conservatism”, neither is it about “21st Century Modernism and Advocacy”, it is all about The Word of God as is written in The Scriptures (The Bible). The Word of God Never changes to conform to “Liberalism” and “21st Century Modernism and Advocacy” It is all about Repentance (for the forgiveness of sins through The Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ The Messiah/The Saviour), Righteousness (Right before The LORD, by following His Ways and Requirements), Holiness (Set apart for The Glory and Honour of The LORD), Wisdom (Wise: The Fear of The LORD; Godly Fear), Understanding (Shunning sin, evil, wickedness and immorality), Truth (as is written in The Word of God), Submission and Surrender to and before The LORD, in Preparing The Way for The Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven.

THE BELOW IS A NEWS ARTICLE (ITEM) APPEARING IN WALL STREET JOURNAL DATED 26th FEBRUARY 2019:

‘“The United Methodist Church shot down a plan that would have opened the door to gay marriage in the church on Tuesday, a blow to theological liberals that exposes the rift within the third-largest Christian denomination in the U.S. At the Methodists’ General Conference in St. Louis, conservative delegates soundly defeated the One Church Plan, which would have allowed some churches to celebrate same-sex weddings and ordain lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender clergy while permitting other churches not to do so. Church officials had pushed the plan as the best way to keep the denomination together. Instead, delegates at the convention approved the Traditional Plan, which keeps in place rules that prohibit same-sex marriage and the ordination of LGBT clergy. In addition, it adds measures to crack down on clergy members who disobey those rules. The vote left liberal members of the church openly debating their options on Tuesday evening. Some who have called the United Methodist Church home their entire lives were considering leaving the denomination. “I’m truly gutted,” said Rev. Mandy McDow, the pastor of Los Angeles First United Methodist Church and a supporter of LGBT rights, who was at the conference. “If there’s the possibility of rebuilding, I can stay…. I can’t remain in an institution built on oppression.” Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy and a Methodist who had advocated for the Traditional Plan, said the vote would allow the denomination to keep growing. While membership in the church has been falling for years in the U.S., it is growing abroad, especially in Africa. African delegates said repeatedly during the conference that their congregations would leave the denomination if gay marriage were approved. “It’s a relief that the church will retain its historic standards and will remain a global church and a growing church,” Mr. Tooley said. “The church’s ties to overseas, especially in Africa, would have been cut off” if the One Church Plan had been approved. The battle at the General Conference in St. Louis was the culmination of decades of tension over rights for LGBT people in the church. The conference in St. Louis was convened to resolve the debate, but many members of the church saw some kind of schism as inevitable. Conservatives have said they would leave if the denomination permitted gay marriage and ordination, which they consider a betrayal of scripture. At the same time, an increasingly vocal faction of the denomination has demanded equal inclusion for LGBT people. Although the ban on gay marriage and clergy members has been in place since 1972, those rules had in recent years been ignored by many in the church. Hundreds of United Methodist clergy members have come out of the closet as LGBT, including a bishop. Unlike other mainline denominations—most of which already allow LGBT ordinations—the United Methodist Church is a global denomination, with more than 12 million members worldwide. Roughly 30% of the delegates in St. Louis came from Africa. Although approval of same-sex marriage has grown inside the U.S., one foreign delegate after another spoke out against gay marriage and ordination. Rudolph Merab, a delegate from Liberia, said the One Church Plan “does not give us salvation.” Another delegate warned that the plan would “burn down the church in Africa.” As it became clear on Tuesday afternoon that the Traditional Plan was likely to pass, the conference descended into chaos. Liberal and progressive delegates tried to run out the clock, proposing one amendment to the plan after another and often speaking painfully slowly. The denomination had to leave the convention hall by 6:30 p.m. so that setup for a monster truck rally the next day could begin. When the Traditional Plan was ultimately approved, hundreds of supporters of LGBT rights—many of them wearing rainbow stoles around their necks—marched to the middle of the convention floor, where they sang the chorus of Blessed Assurance. Opponents of gay marriage soon also gathered on the floor in counter-protest. LGBT rights advocates who tried to enter the conference floor were later arrested. Whether LGBT clergy will be allowed to continue to serve under the Traditional Plan is now an open question. Karen Oliveto, a bishop based in Colorado who is openly lesbian, said before the general conference that if the Traditional Plan were approved, she didn’t know what would happen to her. Others declared that they would remain, no matter the outcome. “We will continue to work for LGBTQ justice in the United Methodist Church,” said Jan Lawrence, executive director of the Reconciling Ministries Network, which has pushed for LGBT rights in the church. “There’s still queer people that are born every day into churches everywhere.… Those people are at the heart of our mission.” Some church officials hoped the rancor would come to an end after the conference. “I pray we, as a denomination, can now move forward, working with each other in the spirit of Christian love and joining together as one,” said Bishop Scott Jones of Texas. “We are stronger together in serving God’s mission as a diverse body of Christ.” Others remained pessimistic about the path forward for the denomination, including some conservatives who were glad the plans to allow gay marriage had been defeated. Questions loomed about whether the Judicial Council, the denomination’s highest court, could rule parts of the of the Traditional Plan unconstitutional under church law. Robert Renfroe, a pastor from Texas and president of Good News, a conservative movement within the denomination, said he didn’t expect many liberal churches would leave the denomination. Instead, he expected liberals would step up acts of “disobedience” even further, while some conservative churches stopped paying dues to the denomination in protest. “Then we’ll be in utter chaos,” he said. He hoped an amicable way for churches to leave the denomination while holding on to their property could be found. “One Church Plan is dead in spite of the over the top support of the bishops and many leading pastors,” Rev. Renfroe wrote on Twitter. “It’s time to talk about putting an end to this fighting.”’
