I am astonished the United Methodist Church has not just come out openly for gay marriage. I am also astonished that any real family would attend services at one of their churches.

Most reasonable people don’t need Jesus to define marriage.

I knew a Methodist pastor who had Christmas cards from Daniel Ortega, Fidel Castro and other noteworthy communists on his mantel. Does that tell you where they’re coming from?

>>To which Mefford, the “Director of Civil and Human Rights” for the United Methodist Church’s General Board of Church and Society, replied:

The General Board of Communists and Socialists is not Christian. I left the UMC last year, but I still have some acquaintances in that social club, so I’ve been asking them about the SCOTUS decision. Like every Prog win, they all say that the time for debate is over and now we need to come together to “heal”. Notice how its never “over” until they win?

How is if that he never read Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4?

I know better than to question a “Methodist official”. Ooooooooh!

If that’s not blaspheming the Holy Spirit, I don’t know what is.

METHODIST OFFICIAL: “I NEVER HAVE ASKED JESUS TO DEFINE MARRIAGE”

Jesus never asked you to ask.

Many will say to me “Lord, Lord.....”

“...I never knew you. Depart from me.”

Jesus doesn’t need your help, either.

Well, lucky for us all Jesus didn’t wait around to be asked all these 2000 years.

Love has really won today.

No, Satan has really won today. I hope you enjoy your newfound "love".

I believe that what Medford has done here is known as ‘grieving the holy spirit’.

Gee, I guess Jesus didn’t care whether or not Mr. Mefford asked him, because he went ahead and defined marriage as between one man and one woman several places in the Bible - so much arrogance and self-importance today, Jesus would have a difficult time making any headway with his teachings of humility and self-betterment.....

Jesus DID define marriage.

Matthew 19:5
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

These United Methodists must read another Bible.

“...but I have sensed the joy of the Holy Spirit today as so many of our brothers and sisters...celebrate that their love for each other is recognized at long-last.”

Dude, I think that was Richard Simmons you were sensing, not the Holy Spirit.

It is pretty obvious that many of these so-called church leaders are less theologically driven than the majority of devout laymen. They are at best fools, at worst, tools of Satan. They should have no credibility and certainly no authority within any church worthy of the name.
