ATLANTA—The United Methodist Church plans to split into 2 denominations later this year, church officials said on Friday, a schism that follows years of contention over whether the church should end i

ts ban on gay marriage and ordination of gay clergy.

The split would affect the denomination globally, church leaders said. The United Methodist Church lists more than 13 million members in the United States and 80 million worldwide. Some denominations, including the Episcopal Church and certain branches of Judaism, have sanctified same-sex unions, while others including the Roman Catholic Church and Southern Baptist Convention, have declined to do so.

Ito na yung sinasabi ng bible na isa sa signs ba malapit n talaga dumating si Jesus Christ.

The end truly is near. Grabe. Di ko maget kung bakit inuna pa yung kapakanan ng tao kesa sa batas ng Diyos. Isa lang ibig sabihin yan. False prophet yung leader ng church na yan. Nakakahiya kay God yang ginawa nila. Grabe talaga si Satan. Ang galing nya mag manipulate ng tao.

Ano po magiging pangalan ng pro gay group na hihiwalay...gaythodist?

Definitely, one of the two branches will go straight to hell...😂😂😂
