The Reformed Pastor has an interesting article, Sex for Methodist Teenagers. It is asserted that fornication and adultery are too easy and it is actually more ethically rigorous to use protection while "ethically and morally" engaging in sex outside marriage. The Reformed Pastor quotes from a Unitarian lady minister, "Rev." Deborah Haffner, who advocates for United Methodists several ways of having an ethical consensual and sexual relationship with someone. And it seems to me that it is literally true: The devil is a methodist, pun intended.
Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
11ενδυσασθε την πανοπλιαν του θεου προς το δυνασθαι υμας στηναι προς τας μεθοδειας του διαβολου
[Note: The word "schemes" in this verse comes from the Koine Greek word, "methodeia." Hence, the pun, the devil is a "methodist." He's got scheming methods or strategies.]
