United Methodist Church leaders agreed in principle on a deal that would permit same-sex marriage and allow opponents to form a new denomination

The agreement, which was signed by 16 leaders of the church on both sides of the debate, would allow same-sex marriage in the Methodist church and allow for gay clergy members to serve openly.

Why do people FEAR LGBQT ? If it’s God and Christ we serve .. then hear ye Him!! No pastor or priest can outlaw the scriptures .. but they damn sure twist them and cause confusion .

LEVITICUS 18:22 MATTHEW 5:17

This fight is not over. This is only a proposal. Our General Conference decides these issues

drboycewatkins1 Where is that in the bible

Look at what the LGBTQ community they have destroyed boy scouts churches sports aids etc. they (LGBTQ) are lib dems who believe in socialism no God AND NO CONSTATUTION SO WHO ARE WE CATERING TO THEY HAVE THERE BELIVES AND WE HAVE OURS be GAY BUT LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE

The right thing to do!

So it’s now the un-United Methodist Church?

My wife and I raised our kids, volunteered our time, tithed and gave to 9 capital campaigns over the last 35 years. I don’t care if people want to be gay but it goes against what my church taught me the Bible and UMC beliefs were. Now the UMC wants to take our church away...

What will gay people infiltrate next?

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men.

When the Reds and Feminists got into the Methodist Church, they emasculated a fine American cultural bastion.

Religions evolve & change over time. Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Lutherans, Protestants, Anglicans, Baptists, Presbyterians etc- these schisms occur all the time but people are just too dumb, indoctrinated & retarded to realize that we’re just making it all up as we go along

Jude 1

drboycewatkins1 Smh

Let's stop calling them 'traditional' & insisted call them what they really are. Hate filled bigots who are justifying their bigotry based on archaic old testament law rather than what Jesus taught. They shouldn't get a penny.

So much for open minds, open hearts.....more religious hypocrisy!

The reason a lot of people have stopped taking Christianity so seriously is because of how it keeps being revised with the times - like the Democratic Party

Cant wait to hear their tune when the coffers dwindle.

Sin is not a right, it’s a sin. It’s a choice and while I hate the sin I must love the sinner and share the truth with them that Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself to allow a choice to repent sin, follow Him and share the truth.

Churches seem to split apart when they have internal unresolved disagreements. Divorce split and created the Anglican church, now gay marriage is the reason for this split. Maybe the next split will be over climate change ? Does the church follow god or the people ? Pope dilemma.

The split is a good thing. Those who embrace same sex marriage will not last because they love the world and themselves not GOD. These people are posers anti Christians they are not believers.

How will the two factions decide who owns Church property? UMC owns all of it. It’s a centrally controlled denomination. Local Churches own nothing. Local congregants are at the mercy of what the District & Nat’l leaders do.

Icabod.

According to the Bible, the church is the body of Christ and if the arm commits sin, cut it off, if the eye, pluck it out! This means to cut them off and let them go to satan whom they serve and let him have them. Godwilling some will return in repentance, many will not.

'those who separate themselves' = Perushim

New church motto

Disgusting flying th add t shittyrainbow flag w the American flag.

Just like that...

At least they civilly agree to disagree

Be not conformed to this world......... Romans 12:2

Good. It's 2020 and this should've happened a long time ago.

Good thing i stopped going like 5 years ago

. BrianBranam whatcha think?

God only approves of those who are obedient to His WORD. That has NOT CHANGED just because society has. Marriage is a symbol of God's Holy Covenant relationship between Christ (groom) & the Bride (the CHURCH). It is a HOLY SYMBOL, not to be desecrated & EXSPECIALLY by churches.

Progressive Religion pretty soon: “Jesus was gay with John. Paul was literally Hitler, established a tyrannical patriarchy and deserves hell.” Everyone else:

We should read the scriptures about what God says about two men or two women being with each other sexually... The Greek Bible has 3 words for love. God is for Agape or Philos between 2 men or 2 women, but He is against Eros between 2 men or 2 women...

This is the dumbest plan I've ever seen from a group that won on keeping the integrity of UMCtweets UMChurch. Kick out the cultist not the churches that actually believe in the Bible and Gospel of Jesus Christ. Also, 25 million is a drop in the bucket for the mass exodus.

Yep. Let them form their own exclusionary group.

Dividing an already small group into an even smaller group. Way to go! I do believe “Divide and Conquer” is how politicians and people in power, STAY IN POWER🤪getsmart

🏳️‍🌈 love and Jesus wins

So is now the Un-United Methodist Church?

Me: Split the church over this? smdh. Also me, a long jaded Catholic: Can we do this too?

God/Jesus said 'man shall not sleep with boy' meaning, pedophila shouldn't be a thing. Not 'man shall not sleep with man.' It may now, but the bible has been written and rewritten so many times. who knows what it actually said.

Does water and gas mix well?... No it does not, than why these churches accepted that which is blasphemy towards God.

drboycewatkins1 The gay ones should form the new denomination, not the straight ones.

Homosexuality is a sin and can not be accepted in the church. Same sex marriage can not be accepted in church

Is this a good idea or bad idea?

Dogged devotion to writings picked over, translated repeatedly from ancient languages, interpreted a variety of ways depending on the reader, filled with violence, describing the highest being in existence as acting like an egotistical human - foolish and dangerous.

Glad I left the Methodist church before they became one with the secular world.

Obviously they believe more in modern opinion and morals than Bi local truths. Makes them a civic club. Not a church.

I just married a horse... Dat make me an evangelist

The day my church flies a rainbow flag us the day I leave. Our church has already passed bylaws against same sex marriage which is the TRUE interpretation from Bible

This will make it easier for the LGBT community to identify and target the “wrong” Methodists.

drboycewatkins1 🤷🏿‍♂️😳Sodom and Gomorrah

As the Church becomes more like the world it/we becomes less relevant.

Who would Jesus hate?

Romans 1:26-28 - For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

How many more times would God need to put it all over the Bible before those who wish to “tickle the ears” would stop explaining it away ?

And then God said I will make 28 versions of Christianity that will interpret everything I say differently but yeah... one message. What a joke. If u believe in fairy tales & puppy dog tails u might be the problem.

à chaque église son symbole, les catholiques ont opté pour la pédophilie l'église méthodique pour la

United Methodist should've allow the same sex ppl to start a cult, now United Methodist is the cult.

Mormons should take note

You misspelled 'dying irrelevant superstitious cult'.

What purpose does a church without values serve?

Fake Christians galore.
