The Holy Bible is the Holy Bible, period. We practice Christianity guided by "The Good Book." You do not get to pick and choose what part you will follow and others that you will ignore. On the issue of LGBTQ+, the Holy Bible, Old Testament the Book of Leviticus 20:13, makes the question of homosexuality clear, Crystal Clear!

I worked for a United Methodist church for way too many years. The people there were wonderful, but the situation there was dismal. The church leadership lied about membership numbers for years until it was impossible to hide the losses; there was a strong spirit of anti-intellectualism emanating directly from the bishop, resulting in Bible illiteracy among younger members; each and every sermon included a plea for money. What drove me out finally was the antisemitism coming from church and denominational leaders who were seeking currency as card-carrying liberals. Today I pray for the good people who remained to try to salvage the church, but I am ashamed that I remained simply for the sake of a job.

Hi John. I dont understand why/how the book of discipline wasnt followed in so many ways so many times. There is no point to having it if it isnt going to be followed. However now that churches want to disaffiliate the BOD must be followed. You cant pick and choose what/when the BOD is followed. The BOD was formed upon certain biblical principles which the have decided no longer apply. They have treated their churches with a total lack of caring and respect. Send us your money. Do as we say. You can not leave. Doesnt act like much of a Christian organization to me.

My husband and I live in MD and we've been United Methodists our whole lives. We are 56. Essentially all the UMC churches in our area chose not to disaffiliate, so we left. It wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. We joined a wonderful Baptist church that teaches directly from the Word of God every week. We have met wonderful people and are now part of a weekly small group. We are now growing together as Christians and holding ourselves and each other accountable to the faith and scriptures. As far as the church we left, it isn't doing very well. People are leaving because the pastor shared that to him, the Bible was just a book written by men and shouldn't be trusted as God's Word. Those that stay are not being moved by the Holy Spirit and I suspect aren't true followers of Christ. We are living in sad times. Pray for those people who are being misled.

I retired and went to the Methodist for services as laity after 20 years. Everything you said is very accurate. I am now very disappointed in the Methodist Church.

You'll be surprised how lovingly inclusive our religion actually is, and how the conservative archaic, and often draconian, teachings are based largely in ignorance and mistranslations. Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is enough to save you. (Or for the Catholics, good works too). God bless all of you, please pray for me as I will for you.

My wife and I used to be heavily involved with the Emmaus and Chrysalis walks. It was 72 hours of learning about all of God's love for us. We cannot do that anymore as we left the UMC. We saw it was pointless because the denomination wasn't enforcing the rules already in place. The conference only removed the rules since they weren't following them anyway. We started a new Global Methodist Church, but we don't advertise it's a Methodist Church.

A Methodist minister in North Carolina said he became a pastor because it was like being a camp director. He said nothing about having a calling to lead people to Christ. He is very arrogant to people outside of his church when he comes to new community foolishly thinking they don't know who he is. Churches he pastors are glad when he leaves because he pouts and give the silent treatment if doesn't get his way, his sermons are boring and obviously rehashed, has asked for more money, and membership has fallen. He always has a scowl on his face that makes him look like he smells something thus making him unapproachable. He thinks all this is okay because he likes NC barbecue which should make him a regular acceptable guy. No fruits of the Spirit with him.

When a church becomes property and becomes financially enriched it is no longer a true gathering place for worship and fellowship. A Church needs to grow based on its ministry and biblical principles, teachings and values. The church I attend is small and teaches strictly according the the Holy Scriptures and does not come with an à la cart menu to pick and choose at one’s leisure. I’ve always believed the greater the membership the more income or tithes.

I grew up Methodist (1950's and 1960's). By and large, it was an entirely different atmosphere back then. The majority of folk in my congregation were serious Christians -- in faith, belief and practice. Sermons were solidly Biblically based. Changes --- and NOT GOOD changes --- began seeping in the 1960's, particularly. My observation (and I am by no means the text-book authority!) is after the 1968 merger, the United Methodist Church began its "slippery slope" descent into apostasy, in earnest. And things have ONLY become worse every year since. I may have grown up (Wesleyan) Methodist; but today NOBODY could pay me enough money to go back to a United Methodist congregation!

You can talk all day about churches leaving for some other reason than LGBTQ acceptance, but that’s how the crises began in 1972, when the book of discipline was amended to exclude queer folk. And it was not an interpretation of scripture but the personal animus of one elder to a gay candidate for ordination. The crises expanded when the restrictions were expanded to marriage, appointments and donations, but you lie when you try to make it something other than acceptance. Queer folk rejoiced after the general conference because the church body finally accepted them as created. Yes, something you will never understand unless you attempt to know us, is that our Lord and Savior put us on this earth LGBTQ. Not only does God want us to live as created, but to worship and love as created. A disagreement with this reality is the basis for the disruption of the church body Michelle She Hers

My ancestors were Methodists. John Wesley would not be welcomed in the United Methodist Church today and even in 2010 and even before. I got a 1987 United Methodist Cookbook and those 1980s Iowan United Methodist were still like John Wesley. Unlike today. But in rural areas United Methodist Churches would still preach the Gospel faithfully and witness it even today. But they been the minority in United Methodist Church for a long time and the problem started with the formation of United Methodist Denomination. That formation to begin with compromised Methodists on some Biblical doctines. The formation made their leadership and Churches less interested in the Bible and more in being a social club that talks about God but don't preach the Gospel much. Focus went from helping getting people into heaven to just feeding and clothing them and join our club. Methodists in 1700s into 1800s were forerunners of starting churches that were on fire for God. Since the Baptists of 1900s have spread the Gospel more and help get more people saved by a overwhelming margin.

@@billsattic In the context you seem to ask, evidently the answer is yes according to Paul: Ro 7:15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! It is the Father's job to teach, correct and discipline His child, it is faith in the Father's ability to do this that so many seem to be lacking and want to resort to ways of the world to do this for Him. It appears like Paul does struggle with things in this way, but continues to run the race, being able to put aside those issues when he needs to, and also admits it to show the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Once we see the real glory of Jesus Christ in the Bible, many of the things in the church fall flat. Praying for you.

Yet God is real and one day we will stand before him to answer for our lives. Praying for you that you find repentance and faith in Jesus Christ before that day arrives.

Amen. They have traded the righteousness of God for the wealth of the world that will be burned up. Keep praying for the lost and deceived.

Absolutely, when you stop following the Bible it is no longer a Christian church…which means it turned into a den of sin

Amen. Keep praying for the lost and deceived. Judgment day always comes before you expect it.

Because the church abandoned the Bible and their congregations. Instead of worshiping God they turned to worshipping people!!

Amen. Once they ignored what the Bible says and said it just contained the word of God instead of being the word of God - the door was opened to pick and choose. And they picked and chose the evil. Keep praying for the lost and deceived.
