I deliberately listed this as a news article rather than religion as I believe it has a wider significance than a confessional dispute.

Ahh, no you aren’t. You obviously don’t fear God enough.

May 10-20, 2016 is the UMC’s quadrennial General Conference meeting in Oregon, and there WILL be a push (again) to amend the UMC Book of Discipline to approve gay and lesbian clergy and same-sex “weddings.” Pray that (again) the Africans will be able to overcome the Americans and stop it.

True we can be forgiven for our sins but I guess she overlooked that "go and sin no more" thingie.
What is in the priestess "heart" ain't the rules.
Kinda like the rage in my heart I have to fight and ask forgiveness for every morning, noon and night.

To: robowombat
"At last I am choosing to serve in that role with full authenticity and as my genuine self -- as a woman who loves and shares my life with another woman."The message of the gospels is "death to self" -- renunciation of the urgings of the flesh in favor of following the teachings. ("Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."-- Matthew 16:24) This doesn't mean you will never have fulfillment in life. It does, however, take the emphasis off pleasing the self and put it on pleasing God. Great growth in the spirit takes place this way. "Taking up one's cross" indicates that it won't always be easy to grapple with one's passions. No pain, no gain.
Second, Jesus told his followers they must be willing to love him more than any compelling earthly tie, including parents, property or position. ("If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple.-- Luke 14:26) I don't know the original Greek, but I don't think "hate" here means rancor, since the Commandments already set that aside. It means a willingness to transcend these strong ties for the even greater call of the Lord.

A woman “pastor” who is a lesbian?
I doubt if anyone in the “church” was at all surprised.
