"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."

What is worse than people who call themselves Christians advocating sin and rebellion as though it's virtuous? They might as well just openly bow down and worship whatever false gods approve of that.

No, the United Methodist Church is. Our church of 6200 people voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church and we are still proud Methodists in the John Wesley tradition of scriptural Christianity.

The exodus from UMC will accelerate.

I tip my hat to you! I'm aware of the money and legal problems some Methodist churches faced to disassociate from the hedonist UMC general conference.

Please make the past couple of years a defining moment that you remember the rest of your lives. Now and forevermore, nobody anywhere or any time or any way can convince your church to turn away from the Lord and His ways. From now on you're sticking to Jesus like glue. Wesley's holiness movement can be alive again today, when our culture needs it most, if all Christians stand up for Jesus like your church did, even when it hurts.

It cost us $1.59M to get out, but it was worth it. I’m the church’s attorney and it was just disheartening to see these “men of the cloth” try to be jackbooted thugs.

When evil takes over your church that is a clue what needs to happen next.

Those who abandon the teachings of Christ and of His Word fall condemned as they embrace their demonic, damnable heresy.

The Methodist church in my hometown disaffiliated last year. That congregation was more than 120 years old, and owned all the land and the buildings. So, it didn’t cost them much.

The UMC church I attend now is much larger. I LOVE my church family there. But, they are fully onboard the new movement. They openly support LGBTQ groups already, even allowing them to present displays in the hallways. I fear gay marriage will soon be coming here. That would be the end, for me.

But, I will really hate it. We’ve already lost many lomg-standing members in the last few years.

The major religious divide of today isn't Catholic versus Protestant, or even believer versus unbeliever.

It's Sodomy versus non-Sodomy.
