“Pride comes before a fall.”

Being a person from Western Ky...I am thankful I removed my membership from this denomination. I will not bend the knee to this.

So glad we left this sick mess

Revelation 18:4 Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, that ye receive not of her plagues The fall of Babylon is being prophesied. All glory and honor to our Lord God Almighty. I have so much respect for those who have left the UMC.

A side note here. There is this concern for "Brown" people, does this include the Methodist conferences in Africa that don't support the pro LGBTQIA+ agenda?

My local UMC that I am on staff in the music department. We are in the Holston conference. My church is waiting on the information to possibly disaffiliate. My church is a conservative congregation. We have had some members leave after General Conference. We have some members telling us to stay and stand by our beliefs despite the changes made to the Book of Discipline. I personally think we should leave the UMC. My current Pastor is conservative and publicly stated that he will continue to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and will not perform same sex weddings. Pray for my church please.

I made my exit during the pandemic when the UMC closed their doors for two years when all the local Wesleyan churches continued having services. That's when I realized all these backdoor covert meeting were taking place. They were planning to stonewall the prior vote to keep to the book of Discipline. The Bishops were getting their plans together to get what they could get and leave the churches in ruins. It was pure greed and dishonesty.

We left the Methodist a year ago. And all of us are happier as a non-denominational church. We only lost 4 members when we disafilliated but are slowly growing. So glad we left when we did.

To all Christians still in the UMC: run, don't walk, to the nearest exit!

The UMC is a fallen organization. This embracing of sin, not the sinner is telling.

I am only one minute, three seconds into this video and my mouth is already hanging open in shock at "Beers and Queers" and the language of a supposed clergy person at Chapel Hill. I am almost afraid to see what other ways those affiliated with the UMC have acted and spoken. Some of us saw the trickling in of this for years, with the cracks in the dam beginning to gush around 2016. The most recent General Conference has completely crushed the dam and lives (souls) will be lost in the resulting flood of toxic water.

From the people who don't know what a woman is.

The principalities and powers, rulers of darkness are in full charge now.

So the UMC is promoting anti=biblical practices. Anybody that remains is affirming apostasy by remaining.

I really appreciate you telling it exactly like it is.

This is simply awful 🙏

wow - didn’t think things could get worse

I'm in the UK, and eventually left the British Methodist Church a couple of years ago after it abandoned orthodox Christian teaching. It's in full collapse, with some projections putting its extinction somewhere in the 2040s. Very sad. But there are still many faithful Wesleyan evangelicals here, preaching repentance and forgiveness of sin, total surrender to Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and holiness of heart and life. The BMC will disappear, but the gates of Hades will not prevail against the church of Jesus Christ!

We officially asked to be removed from membership from our FUMC about a month ago. Now struggling to find another home church

All I can say is that having just returned from the Trinity Conference GMC annual conference and what a wonderful experience it was I am so thankful that we left this sickening bunch.

Ok, so glad we decided to leave and join the GMC... Since when does popular opinion and feeling override scripture? Pray for the folks in the UMC.

Lord G-d come quickly and take your faithful Bride home with you. Keep us pure, holy, and faithful unto you, Amen.

"Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changeth not, abide with me." Henry Lyte 1847

My thinking is the underlying message of this resolution is that if a UMC traditional church opposes adopting this confetence "doctrine," then the church is "sinning" or certainly will be deemed in violation of the conference's policy. The church, then, would be subject to punishment or closing. Their past statements of "just wanting to be accepted" ring pretty hollow.

The Gospel never comes up with UMC. They Change the biblical explanation of sin and call it human sexuality. No more sin

we got out last year glad we did .bought our building mived on .

theres a saying better to keep your mouth shut and allow people to think you are a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt. I can't believe these bishops and flag waving preachers are tweeting their foul ideas on social media for the youth to see.

As grievously backwards as they can get.

It was my understanding the African UMC was the group who had kept this LBGT+ group from taking over the UMC. How does this new confession square with the African members? We left several years ago when I finally understood the words in the Bible were not relevant to our local UMC.

The apostasy must come.

Repent of biblical morality? Headslap

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [arsenokoitēs] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. {1 Corinthians 6:9-10} He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: *which is the second death* {Revelation 21:7-8}

I usually use the words "orthodox" and "heterodox" to describe and distinguish the faithful church from the unfaithful would-be church. I think these are better and more precise labels than "conservative" and "progressive".

Prediction, GMC is just a few years behind the UMC. Already ordaining "non" practicing lgbt (which doesn't have to be proven, just stated). Just my opinion.

Romans 1 states "not only do they CONTINUE to PRACTICE it,.. but ALSO APPROVE of the PRACTICE",... so if you simply approve it even though you don't practice it you'll also be held accountable,.. He said it would be better if a millstone was tied to their neck and thrown in the sea rather than mislead the children, because children are certainly watching and will accept what their elders approve of,...

IMHO there is no such thing as collective sin; and therefore collective confession. Sin is rooted in the human heart and enacted by individuals. We all, individually, are called to repent and be reconciled to God. No one can or should apologize on my behalf, nor would I presume to apologize for another.

The UMC can merge with the UU church and emerge as the UUcubed…..

2:00 He left off the "2S" at the beginning and the "QIA+" at the end! How can a person claim to be inclusive when he/she/it/they/wolf/cat limits it to the pre-2018 non-inclusive acronym? I'm going to discuss this with the hot rock that my yogi/shaman applies to my fourth chakra during the next Reiki sermon at my local UMC when the moon is waxing Uranus.

Publicly calling God's Word "Sin" seems dangerously close to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I certainly have no desire to venture "out on that spiritual limb." The Lord's command to "Love ones neighbor as oneself" does not, and never has, encouraged or accepted what God has regards as sin. If God calls something sin or an abomination, I'm in agreement with God. Period.

Woe unto thee. Thou hast let Satan into your hearts and church leadership. The true gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth if one knows where to find it.

"Not all our fault, but all our responsibility." That's not biblical; "All have sinned," (Romans 3:23), not just heterosexual "white males."

It does not help to bring in Marxisms to this problem for it is not economics but religion. You do not need Marx to make your point.

You do not need "the church" but the authority of the Holy Scriptures where God revealed His will and ways to His people through His appointed prophets, disciples, and apostles. Your "church" follows John Wesley who was a man of another of the devil's lie called the Enlightenment which opened the door to "human reason" and not only which invited itself into that religious group but kicked down the proverbial door and destroyed that religious institution. (Genesis 3) The same will happen to the GMC, unless you and your religious group repents and turns away from Scripture-denying/downplaying Wesleyan theology. I do pray that you all do, as the Christian life is one of daily repentance. Personally, I would love to refer to you all as my brothers and sisters in the faith. I'm not holding my breath for that to ever happen because you UMC-ers cannot seem to get past Wesley and your human institutions, and therefore you doom yourselves. I do continue to pray for you all in hope that you return to Christ. I'd love to meet and greet you in heaven. Please read Genesis 3 and Revelation 7. +Gloria Deo-Glory to God+

did that resolution pass???

John Wesley must be spinning in his grave. Welcoming every to church and salvation is the right thing, but not following God's word and insisting that repenting sins is the only way to be saved. Letting people stay in the sin of homosexuality and other sins is not only a sin, but will put those in leadership positions in the same hell they a leading those poor sinners will end up. God is love, but he is just and His word is eternal.

!language Genevieve Bergman! Wow. This is as bad as it gets. No wonder YHWH is soon arriving in the Person of His Son Yahshua haMashiach to clean House in Yerushalayim! His Law is Q'Dosh - Ezekiel 43:12. His Word stands, pure and strong. We must, also, with all SEVEN Spirits of the Armour of YHWH: 2 shoes of Shalom: 1 belt of Truth: 1 helmet of Salvation: 1 breastplate of Righteousness: 1 shield of Faith: 1 Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of YHWH. Thy Word Is Truth.

I just saw the GMC also has female pastors. In 20 years all this nonsense will destroy them also. You have to cut the evil from the root.
