Hundreds of Texas churches seek approval to leave the failing United Methodist Church
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
“As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”
"You think a wall as solid as the earth separates civilisation from barbarism. I tell you the division is a sheet of glass."

Wonder whose 'approval' they need? They already have God's. "Come out of her My people."

From what has been written about these churches, it appears each of them has contractual obligations and property ties with the main Methodist corporation.
If this is the case, they must pay the price of breaking the covenants they have with the main corporation.
For example, if their meeting house is owned or mortgaged to the main corporation
they eihter make a deal or abandon the property.

And these corporations use the same principles as the mystery babylonians' system. Come out and be not partakers in her sins.Originally Posted by Ivan88

What's that?

There is a World Methodist Council. No doubt there are legal obligations between it and separate churches, which is why they need PERMISSION to bail out.

Basically, it is the world's system, as opposed to God's instructions. The question of who owns the property? How was it "financed"? Interest collecting and controlling the laity lead to 'slavery', not liberty.

Ah, yes. The roots of capitalism can be traced back to ancient Babylon. It's not without its positive influence. I would add though, no record of corporate structure, which tends to define modern capitalism, has been found in the ruins of Babylon.

I have no problem with "Capitalism" based on God's instructions. It is the "Financialism" that is the problem.
