After the United Methodist held their General Conference in 2024, they have been shedding members. In the latest news, the Ivory Coast is gone as well as other parts of the world. What is going to happen after they destroyed their standards.

Thank you for your firm and Biblical podcast. I left the UMC 2 years ago when I saw them denying Biblical truth. My husband stayed because he loves his church friends. As of yet I have no church. By the way he is 93. I am 89. I hope to find a church soon. In the meantime I love God and his holy inerrant Word. I would never ever set foot again in the UMC.

It is so hard. I’m a Lutheran. The ELCA showed apostasy decades ago. My first actual church was the new ELCA and had a married woman pastor. BTW she was wonderful, but I moved away and then the church started being questionable besides. That was decades ago. The ELCA openly “came out” with every other MSC. We tried a MO Synod. It’s ok but the riots came and though they disguised it a bit, the whole synod felt the need like everyone else to put some pandering self-conscious self-righteous affirmation up publicly about supporting DIE. You can’t fully trust any church.

Greetings Pastor John from a Scottish Baptist. The Church of Scotland - traditionally the largest denomination here - was formed in 1560. In 2008 a church appointed a practising homosexual as its minister, a decision ratified by the 2009 General Assembly. This decision for ' inclusivity ' will end off including nobody. On current trends the church will cease to exist in 2040. If you're interested there's an excellent recent video on the 'Ready to Harvest ' KZfaq channel. But God, it seems, is not finished with Scotland. There are new Bible believing churches springing up: in my own Baptist denomination, in the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland and amongst independent groups. May the Lord bless His faithful people who have been made spiritually homeless by the decisions of the UMC. May they flourish in new contexts. God Bless America.

@biblewalkwithjohn Ай бұрын

Great to hear from you! I believe the devil is busy trying to tear down the church, but no matter how many times the church dies, it gets resurrected. We serve the savior who knows the way out of the grave. Praying for you in Scotland. I know God is not finished there and I bless the new Bible believing churches God is raising up. Christ is still King!

Me and my family left the UMC last year because the church voted to stay in the UMC. That left 10 members in that church ,the other members left . Now there are homosexuals attending that church that are serving there . The preacher and his wife are supported of the homosexual lifestyle . They call it Love Is Love and they should be with who they love . So glad we left that church . The way they see it is we are not going to change so we will change the church . We are in a real church now and very happy .

We do not hate homosexuals. We just believe it is a sin, as the bible clearly says it is, and don't agree that a church that follows the bible and the teachings of God should condone it let alone support it. Everyone is invited to attend our church but our leaders cannot be homosexuals and we will not allow homosexual marriage as it is not marriage per the bible. Homosexual marriage is a civil (non- religious) union by the state. Based on that the UMC failed on all levels and will probably lose more than have their members.

Jesus acknowledged 7 of His churches in Rev 2-3. The word used in Rev 2:7 and other places is the plural of church in this instance the (Holy) Spirit is also acknowledging the churches. The greek word used here is ἐκκλησίαις. It is also used in its plural in Cor and Gal. and Thes. Yes it is one body in Christ, but they are clearly different churches and apparently different functions in the body as directed by Him. Further note, in each church, if they are doing well, or not or in-between, there is opportunity to the members in those churches for reward.

We are all sinners including Catholics and leadership of the Catholic church. Anything run by common man can run afoul. That includes the Catholic church, it's members and leadership. The Pope is selected by common men. How do common men select another man they consider infallible? The UMC just proved my point as well. Indulgencies, the Spanish inquisition and priest molesting children with a church cover up are some examples of things Catholics should not be proud of, however repenting for these actions is the true salvation. When it comes right down to it what kind of life do you live? Words are cheap. Actions count.
