Why pastors get caught cheating with church members

(NewsNation) — The United Methodist Church has lost more than 1 million members over new rules on premarital sex and homosexuality. The United Methodist Church in the Ivory Coast in West Africa announced its decision to leave the denomination after delegates repealed their church’s longstanding ban on LGBTQ clergy, removing a rule forbidding “self-avowed practicing homosexuals” from being ordained or appointed as ministers.

the Bible says that God established civil government shortly after Noah and his family left the Ark following the great flood. What was the first form of government in the Bible? JUDGES WERE THE FIRST FORM OF GOVERNMENT IN ISRAEL WHEN THEY ENTERED THE LAND, UNTIL THEY DEISRED A MONARCHIAL FORM UNDER SAUL AND DAVID. THE JUDES WERE A BODY OF 70, WHICH IN THE TIME OF MOSES WAS 71. SAMUEL ALSO WAS A JUDGE, AND DEBORAH, AND OTHERS. 2 Corinthians 4:1-10 [1]Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; [2]But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. [3]But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4]In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. [5]For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. [6]For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. [7]But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. [8]We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; [9]Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; [10]Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. America eyes is blind to see our government is making more evil,, on the Earth, money is not backed up by gold, it has money for everything else but to help ,his own country the reason why, our judges and lawyers and politicians ,big government have invested into the prison system the best way to keep your richness is to get people to commit crime. you going to do what's necessary to feed your family, and it should be against the law for these people to have stock in the system need to have a complete investigation to make sure it's not a conflict of interest if you are still in government or lawyer or judge and on stock in that system, you should immediately resign under the code of ethnic. For some time Rome had been expanding its authority in Asia, and in 63 bce the Roman triumvir Pompey the Great captured Jerusalem, that's when Satan took over which is European and said they do not need God help to govern the world. reason why they hate black people because we are the children of Israel.

Satan is alive and his system ,right here in America.

The Bible talks about signs in the sky prior to Christ's return. Luke 21:25 states, “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves...” In Genesis 1:14-18, And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. Luke 21:11 predicts, “There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” God created our universe and uses the stars and planets for signs. For example, a star appeared in the night sky during the birth of Jesus. The Bible says the wise men followed the star to find Jesus in a manger with his mother Mary and Joseph. Luke 21:25-26 foretells, “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” In the Old Testament, Joel 2:30 states, “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.” In Matthew 24:6-13, Jesus stated, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." As we approach the Second Coming of Christ, many signs will appear in the sky and on the earth. We are cautioned not to ignore these signs. We are to be watchful and vigilant, preparing for Jesus’ return. Many would agree that the signs of His eminent return are here and obvious. And the signs will continue to intensify as we get closer to the Lord's glorious return. Let’s not ignore them but get ready. This time He's not coming as the Lamb but as the Lion of God!
