I believe all mainline protestant churches are now effectively in schism. Every one has split in various ways over the embracing of homosexuality, pansexuality really. Screwtape will be getting a promotion soon.
unfortunately, it seems the Catholic church owns all the parishes...so there is no voting them out....
625 members is the largest Methodist church in the whole state?
You can take your wokeness and support for the freakshow and shove it.
Churches sould stand for morals, Not for crappola.
Finally someone cuts from the UMC?
These people have long been liberal apologists at least the whole ‘90s. I was a member of American Family Assoc. from then to about 15 years ago, and their founder was a UMC pastor who reported a lot on the blasphemy of his denomination then.
Glad to hear a big congregation overwhelmingly voting to lead e these apostates.
Just a posted notice to remind us all.
Dear FRiends, our 1st qtr FReepathon is running behind. It looks like we’re not going to hit our target, but with your help, maybe we can at least get it over 90%. 3/25/2023, 11:36:11 AM · by Jim Robinson
The American Methodist Church is going to undergo a massive “schism” this Summer, and split from the international denomination, as did the Lutheran and Episcopal Churches, over the past few years.
Now they must find a new building. The conferance owns their present church building
From the article’s “quotes” it sounds like the parting was amicable. That’s the way to do it imo.
Well, this church can’t decide.
YES!!!
They forget to mention in the article that there is a path to what should have been a large part of the decision and they missed it.
It is determined in the Bible through Leviticus 18:22
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”
1 Timothy 1:9-10: “The law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine.”
There’s more, but that’s enough to make a point. So if the act is considered a sin. To be forgiven by God means that your sins have been removed, and restoration has taken place. By God’s gracious gift of forgiveness through Christ, any wrong you have done is not held against you. God is eager to forgive and provides forgiveness to you through faith in Jesus Christ. It’s your choice to receive it. But it is not an action for you to receive as a get out of jail free card and repeat continuously because you like it. That’s using God for your purposes and you had no intention of asking for forgiveness. This constitutes a blasphemy directly at God.
All sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin” (Mark 3:28-29).
So the church by supporting this is therefore guilty of this blasphemy because they are just using the forgiveness while having no intention of stopping an act directly entertained in the Bible as wrong. Thus their deceitfulness is far greater a sin than the actual sin itself they are trying to justify it’s practice.

According to the article, they still give sacraments to the LGBTQ types. Cornerstone is wishy washy, and really made no changes.
Therefore:
Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!
* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.
Keep a Good Lent!
The August 19 date refers solely to the adoption of the gaysbian agenda, NOT to the “Full Communion” agreement.
Organized religion is a lot like organized crime.
Read your bible. Talk with God. Worship HIM (NOT her, it, them, we, etc.)
You’ll be a lot better off, in every way, than if you regularly attend an organized religion church.
Don’t be a religious zombie. Your pastor, minister, or priest is no closer to God than you are. Likely a lot farther away than you would think.
Are YOU a pedophile? Your religious leader might just be.
I wonder who is the 9 morons who voted to stay?
>> Christians are, of course, to strive for peace and avoid conflict when they can
Except for that necessary outcome of a violent death on the cross
That’s not very many people voting. Why can’t homo trans perverts leave 600 people alone to worship as they do, and not be forced to worship at the altar of trans faggotry?
Futt buckers are not welcome in the New Testament church.
Read First Corinthians, Chapter 4 and/or 5.
Well, they are welcome if they repent and generally abstain from the sin of sodomy.
Same is true for fornicators.
Covetous people.
Greedy persons.
Adulterers.
The entire list is sort of a Big Ten of the type of sins that characterize many unbelievers. But not all-inclusive.
Very sad how many “Christians” have little to no regard for much of what is written in Holy Scripture. Even denying the God who paid for salvation of those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
