AMPA, FLORIDA, May 7, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Members of the nation’s largest mainline Protestant church voted to maintain the doctrine that homosexual actions were “incompatible with Christian teaching” on Thursday.

The United Methodist Church voted down two proposals to water down its stance on homosexuality on Thursday. One proposal called homosexuals “people of sacred worth” and acknowledged differing viewpoints on the issue, while another said humans did not know enough about human sexuality to prefer one lifestyle over another.

One has to wonder how long the sodomites have to keep grinding down this once-holy "movement" founded by the Spirit-filled Wesleys before it breaks. But today was a good day, except for the soapbox stolen by the sodomites at the convention.

Good to hear.

In other news, Methodists reaffirm that the ocean is wet.

God’s way or man’s way.

Amazing - I thought the Methodists had been co-opted long ago.

[A_Former_Democrat]

I’m shocked. Pleased, but shocked.

The church’s position, enshrined in its Book of Discipline, conflicts with the words of one of the United Methodist Church’s most prominent members, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Wow, did not know that Hillary was one of the United Methodist Churches most prominent members.

There is great variation of practice among Methodist congregations. They tend to be more fervent and more closely biblical in the bible belt.

I saw enormous changes in my childhood church from one pastor to the next.

Amazing - I thought the Methodists had been co-opted long ago.

Ditto.I thought that with the exception of the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptists,western Christianity had basically knuckled under to the pervert lobby.

There are also, I understand, several much more biblically conservative branches of Methodism other than the "United" branch, which seems to be the most liberal and largest. I can't see it standing for too many more years, seeing how much perversion is tolerated in its ranks.

How close was the vote? Because I know for a fact the UMC has been trending extremist liberal for years...

[fwdude]

Only an idiot would. Not even the sodomites believe their fake "compromises." If passed, differing (the traditional) viewpoints would soon not be tolerated, and the homos think they know everything about sexuality already. Their guru Kinsey already told them all they need to know.

[Mrs. Don-o]

This Catholic says "Thank God for the Methodists."

Keeping it all in prayer and in truth.

[TexasFreeper2009]

duh.

There are MANY things in the bible that are debatable, homosexuality is NOT one of them. The bible if VERY clear on the subject.

And if the queers don't like it... well.. I guess they can become Muslims or Jews. oh wait... Every major religion condemns homosexuality!

No problem. I hate to say it, but I heard of this news on a Moonbat blog that I monitor from time to time to keep an eye on the enemy. They are absolutely livid. But Lifesitenews was the source I chose.
