Separation of the wheat from the chaff!!
That’s not the only reason they should un-unite.
Every Sunday when heading to church, we have to drive past the local Methodist church with double rainbow banners flying at the roadside. They celebrate the erf too. Ugh.
It surprises me that we see the issue of homosexuality causing uproar and consternation in religious denominations.
Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, given how society has gotten more liberal towards “LGBT” types in recent years. I guess I always thought that no matter how far the popular culture sank, that churches would be a bulwark against all of that. Clearly I was mistaken.
So as schisms happen, we will see denominations split into those who are more liberal, and those who hold more to traditional values and doctrines. Perhaps we are just seeing history repeat, as their have been schisms in the past over various issues throughout history.
Not the Methodist church I attend.
The Left is thorough, we’ve got to give them credit where it is due. They first take over education, then foundations, then board rooms, then corporate leadership, and now they’re going after our churches.
...and we sit back and ‘tolerate’ it.
Unlike the unity we see in the catholic church? You all are so united behind your pope.
Fundamentalism vs. Apostasy
Never cared for a lot of his theology, but the man could preach.
There are some things worth splitting over. Apostasy is high on that list
Yep, this is part of the “long march through the institutions” which began decades ago.
I left the United Methodist Church in 2006. They rely on Conservative Christian congregations to fund the leftist flagburning gungrabbing babykilling heart of the Congregation.
Just like Muzzies. They ruin everything for normal people.
The rainbow is the primary warning God gives us that a “church” is actually controlled by the Evil One.
The Untied Methodist Church.
You can worship sodomy, or you can worship God. You cannot worship both.
I am a moderate on this stuff--because Christ commanded us to love everyone. But I am well-pleased that the Traditional Plan won at the special General Conference--because I don't believe that Christ repealed the Book of Leviticus. Furthermore, with all of the crap that the Catholic Church and the (former) Boy Scouts are going through because of pedophile leaders, the prudent person should be VERY concerned.
I think that going gay will bring in some social justice warrior types--the Allies--not the gay people themselves (it's kind of like how woke White Liberals are more radical about race relations than Black folks). But others will leave. And if my local congregation goes full libtard, I am heading for the exit.
Meanwhile, the UMC can't bring itself to condemn Democrats backing infanticide.
John Wesley is spinning like a dynamo.
How can they split the Queer Methodist from the Just Liberal Methodists?
I quit years ago and became and Outdoor Methodist. We like to do outdoor things on Sundays.
I am afraid our mutual enemy has won if you left a false church for no Church.
