1.2 Million Leave United Methodist Church in 1 Day!

[@caman171]

Baptist historian here, so I have seen the history of the Methodists entertwined with our history. So sad. I am praying for faithful, biblical Methodists as they go forward with Jesus and leave the apostates behind.

[@biblewalkwithjohn]

Amen. Thanks for your prayers. We need to be united in prayer that all faithful Christians go forward and leave the apostates behind, whatever their denomination. Keep praying for the lost and deceived.

[@ontoanewlife]

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.

[@theOlLineRebel]

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.

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 .

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 ' KZbin 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]

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!

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.

Hey, don't know you.

Worldwide it becomes more of a different outlook. Pretty bad when the monk, what's his name,oh Martin Luther during the time he existed made it quite clear that the Jewish people, imagine this, every trace of their influence, culture, identity should not be acknowledged because of not accepting Biblical truth and standards.

In 1845 the Methodist Church split over slavery. The Southern church said that the Bible supported slavery… of course it can be interpreted this way… Of course views change over time on issues like slavery, diet, appropriate clothes to wear and gender roles and sexual behavior. Science also contributes to our understanding of God’s creation. and it is OK!! what does not change is that we are to love ourselves and each other….

[@choirboyvallejo]

I do not understand how people who are not LGBT or not fornicators or not adulterers are so worried about those who are.

Remove your plank, then talk to others about their speck.

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.

[@greglane3978]

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.
