It’s weird how many “bible thumpers” have taken a serious interest in homosexuality and other perverted forms of sexual deviancy.
When/If this happens, I leave the Methodist Church.
I really don’t have a problem with homosexuality per se, but I refuse to have my children be taught in church that it is “normal” rather than a perversion.
membership drop in 3... 2...
Methodist have not been Bible thumpers for decades.
He volunteer with Operation Christmas Child. They’ve been losing support from churches lately because of OCC’s stand on marriage.
Methodists probably don’t even have Bibles any more
Every major American church that has taken steps towards liberalization on sexual issues has seen a steep decline in membership.
>>When/If this happens, I leave the Methodist Church.
I came home from Florida Annual Conference last June and resigned from the UMC the next week. Even if the gays don’t win at GC 2016, the damage they will do will just continue until the UMC goes the way of the TEC, ELCA, and PCUSA.
To be honest, the weakness of a non-confessional church will not survive the siege that is being conducted by the Progressive/homosexual/communist agenda in this country. The evil I saw at last year’s AC convinced me that Reformed theology is correct and some people are just too depraved to be saved, but they sure can pretend to be Christians—and many of them faked it all the way through seminary and ordination and became UMC Elders.

Sadly, they do. They got together with the Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian Church U.S.A., Episcopal Church, and United Church of Christ to write the Common English Bible a few years ago.
That list is the Mos Eisley spaceport of Protestantism!

.................
OCC supports marriage the way God intended, right?
Nothing new: Paul warned the elders from Ephesus (Acts 20:28-30) that from their own numbers (the elders) would false teachers arise to “devour the flock.”
Maybe a keen pair of scissors will work to remove the offending passages...why not?
I’ve never heard of the ‘common English bible’ Was this an attempt that failed or is still being worked on? Just curious. I’m sticking with the RSV and New Jerusalem translations.

They published it at least 5 years ago and the liberal churches are pushing it hard. The less liberal clergy and congregations are sticking to the NRSV or NIV that the UMC has used for years.
(Meant to say “I volunteer “
Yes. OCC is Franklin Graham. Very strong traditional Christian values.
This article deserves a thread of its own.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
The Methodist church has jumped the shark and become of the world.
