If you don’t condemn it, you condone it.
It is no different than any political entity.
Sad.

So glad I left the UMC this past summer. It’s only going to get worse in the denomination that stands for nothing.

Frank Schaefer (right) United Methodist church pastor (and his son Tim (left), Performed the homosexual marriage for his son to another man. Thus giving further evidence of the 'infiltration into the body of Christ' seen in other churches throughout our nation. Jesus said this would come...and we are witnessing the wolves leading the people more and more

Anyone who performs a same-sex marriage is not a pastor or a Christian.

Frank Schaefer, center, and his son, Tim Schaefer, second from left, walk to a meeting of the Judicial Council of the United Methodist Church Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2014, in Memphis, Tenn....note the Homosexual scarfs the people are wearing supporting the homosexual agenda.

Interesting that Three of Schaefers four children are homosexuals....so he has a vested interest in "supporting" the homosexual agenda. (His facebook support team)

Those scarves are why I left the UMC immediately after returning home from Florida Annual Conference this year. The true sacraments of the “new” UMC are abortion for the ladies and sodomy for the guys. Everything else is negotiable.

At least seven UMC pastors have been defrocked over officiating same-sex unions.... Philly.com reports that four other pastors awaiting trial by the UMC for similar offenses, or in at least one case, being homosexual themselves...... They include..... Rev. Steve Heiss of Upper New York, Rev. Thomas Ogletree of New York, Rev. Gordy Hutchins of Pacific Northwest, and Rev. Sara Thompson Tweedy of New York.

The official stance of the UMC is pro-life.
To: Bryanw92
The UMC is gone....it's been on the way out of Biblical Christianity for some time.
Same with some of the Lutheran churches...and other Protestant mainline churches who have joined in with the World Council of Churches...just a matter of time before the "infilitration" shows itself stronger and in control.

...”The official stance of the UMC is pro-life”...
Which is fast fading......it was also an official stance that opposed homosexuality and we see that didn’t stand “officially” either.

I wonder what went wrong with the fourth one.
To: Bryanw92
Shaffer's church in Lebanan. Pa. The so called wedding of his son to another homosexual took place in 2007 The Zion United Methodist Church of Iona...It was the complaint of Jon Boger, a Navy lieutenant commander which led to a trial against Schaefer, according to The Washington Post.

In August of 2009 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) estabalished a "Full Communion Partnership" with The United Methodist Church.
Therefore:
Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!
* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.
Wishing a Blessed Reformation & Hallowide!

How much further can the United Methodist Church get from biblical values? Oh wait the Old Testament does not mean anything today in many churches. But guess what all of scriptures is relevant today. So many people will be deceived by the so called christian leaders in the church. Yes many will be led astray by false preachers and false teachers.

UMC . . .is this one of the denominations that are removing “The Blood of Jesus” from their hymnals? Also don’t they support the world council of churches? In our town they don’t even own their building that they paid for initially as well as all of the remodeling and additions. Most of the congregation don’t have a clue. One country UMC disbanded after they disagreed with “headquarters”. They had remodeled the historical building which ended up being money down the tubes. . .since they didn’t own it. One of the “headquarter” representatives said he would rather see it be a Coon Hunters Lodge than a church. OK so I don’t know the Methodist jargon “headquarters”.
