I'm not Christian but that woman literally said "a church with people of different faith backgrounds". It's a church, that's a place for Christians. If you want to meet with other religions, great but that's not a church. That's a social club.
I think "faith backgrounds" refers to where they have came from rather than what they are now e.g. a Presbyterian who has converted to Methodism or a Muslim who converted to Christianity
When Men can vote on doctrine, you know it is a man made church. You can’t vote doctrine. The Lord directs his church. Pray to find it. A true seeker will find.
If you are a Christian or a Christian Church you cannot accept homosexuality. That is Biblical. You can, and should, accept the sinner as you should all sinners, but not the sin. Acceptance does NOT include performing such rights as marriage to join them together.

What part of these verses don't u understand? Leviticus 18:22 Leviticus 20:13 1 Corinthians 6:9 1 Timothy 1:10 Most sins are intermittent, homosexuality is a bold faced continuous practice of sins, if u voted for these ppl, or sympathize with them, u will not escape the punishment as in the day of Sodom n Gomorrah. read ur bible, don't change what the bible said, u will be accounted for what u have practicipated in, as said in ur bible, "wolves in sheep's clothing" r in UMC as said in Matt 7:15, there's no excuse for what u have done. Homosexuality has no place in the kingdom of God no matters how u want of twist or spin it. u will reap what u sowed.

There's a difference between a religious club and a church, the church only observes the law of God, a religious club does whatever is right in its own eyes. For this reason I left the previous 'church' and I deeply regret ever getting involved with it
The gospel is the same like always repent from your sins and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior and Lord I invite u to read what the word of God says about Homosexuality.

I totally agree. Why are so many churches destroying themselves by trying to accommodate same sex relationships. The Bible clearly says ..NO.. They just need to focus on what God says, not what man wants.
You don't even have to list specifically places where it's mentioned. The perversity of homosexuality was so well understood at that time that mentioning it explicitly was not considered necessary. Kind of like fire being hot.

I'm a gay Christian. I'm still attracted to men but attraction alone is not sin. This is called temptation, acting on it either in my mind (as a fantasy) or physically is a sin. Christ forgave our sins and died to save us from their effects. I don't think ignoring that and continuing my lifestyle would honor Christ's death. I don't like to bash atheists because all atheists are different from one another. I was once one. I thought if God was real then he hated me for making me gay and having his servants constantly disparage me. The truth is in Corinthians, Paul says that it's a very good thing to marry but an even better one to dedicate your life to serving Christ, not a spouse. So I chose Christ, he has become more of a desire in my heart than easy sex or a 60 year marriage. To all of those saying that Jesus would've accepted gay marriage, I'm sorry but you're mistaken. Jesus would've accepted the 'homosexual' not the 'homosexual-ity.' John 7:53 8-11 speaks of a woman caught in adultery and the Pharisees were about to stone the woman for her sins, and Jesus stopped them and told the one who was without sin to cast the first stone. None were without sin and Jesus was the only one who could stone her. Instead, he told her to go and LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN. Therefore, while Jesus loved her and accepted her, he did NOT accept her sin. I'm just telling you what the bible says about sin. If you want to argue that the bible says homosexuality is okay then fine, I'll listen to your argument. Don't try to say for one second that living a sinful life is okay however, Jesus clearly said it was NOT. 24:15 This couple has given in to temptation.
Im sad for you. Homosexuality is not a sin and if you believe it is then you believe that god created you with an incredible temptation meant to drive you to sin. Unless you believe that god didn’t make gay people in which case, why are you gay?
You're Gay, not Christian. You can't be homosexual when your a Christian. You can't enter heaven in the last days if you're still in your sins. You can't tell Jesus that your sins is ok. Jesus took our sins away so we can repent now to Him, take baptism to revive, restore and release us from our sins. You can only enter heaven in your righteousness with Jesus incorruptible and pure. Because our sins will never be in heaven.
@@ciggystardust Folks leaving the faith because they want to believe in their own way instead of Jesus. They want to add their homosexuality and other sin culture like its ok for God.

Either you clean for Christ or bring dirty for Lucifer. What's clean stays clean. What unclean stays unclean. Light and darkness don't mix. And SIN separates from God.
It’s debatable, yea they did oppose this wicked movement to integrate SSM into their church, but that’s the least of their problems. It seems that half their clergy (staff in the church) seems to be composed of women, which is not their place according to scripture. And, women pastors. And if that was not enough, council that votes on doctrine. As if the Bible was not sufficient enough to to tell them what doctrine to have, now they have to have a council to decide what to believe.

I guess it’s OK that the African delegates believe in murdering gay people and they do murder gay people in Africa. Shame on you. God said if you have hatred in your heart you shall not enter the kingdom of God if you murder someone you have hatred for them.
Africa is actually one of the first continents where Christianity grew and spread rapidly, I think mainly due to the Ethiopian eunech. Aside from modern day Turkey, Africa received and embraced Christianity more than any other place in the primitive beginnings of the church.

It is very sad, though I can't help thinking they were used by the conservative leadership in the US to shut down the debate. I didn't care for the way the narrator kept saying 'the African delegates, the African delegates,' as though they were an undifferentiated mob. It is likely that the preponderance of their votes went against inclusion, but these delegates too deserved the kind of individual profiles and recognition that the US-based clergy received. The African delegates were cast as unyielding opponents here, but there's a long story behind the hostility of African churches towards LGBTQI+ people, and it involves bad faith from the US. When populations in sub-Saharan Africa were being decimated by AIDS, not only did the US government condition its financial aid on the purchase of drugs from American Big Pharma, preventing African states from sourcing cheap drugs from elsewhere, but American faith-based charities fanned out across the continent, spreading the message of abstinence, chastity, and hostility towards sex workers and LGBTQI+ people, portrayed as the vectors of HIV-AIDS. Even today, it is the evangelical wing of the church that sends most missionaries to Africa, and the evangelical church is conservative. It incentivises the politics of moral judgement and exclusion. I think of how much worse it must be for sexual minorities in African congregations.
From my time as a Christian since the early 80s I have seen a frightening path for a complete disregard for HIS Word. What is left if pre-marital sex is now ok, divorce for almost any reason is ok, near pornographic entertainment ok, entertainment where almost every commandment is broken in a 30 minute show is ok and now homosexuality now isn't a sin. This is a spiritual de-evolution. What is sin now? Jesus said if you follow me, the world will hate you. We have taken the teeth out of what sin is what we can identify as sin. We have allowed these sins to fester and remain and called it good which is a sign of God's wrath according to Isaiah.

Is the Bible God's word? The Bible that we in the US read isn't the original Bible as it was written by its Greek authors. Its been translated. And translation is not an easy task. Its not a matter of matching words together like many religious scholars like to pretend it is. You must be able to thoroughly understand not just the literal text, but the person who wrote the words and the two *cultures* you are translating between. The passages that supposedly deal with homosexuality are all fraught with issues. The most glaring issue with the New Testament mentions are particularly curious. The Greeks had a word for homosexual relations. Yet the original authors didn't use that word. Recommend looking up "StopBibleAbuse", a website that breaks down in incredible detail the full meaning behind each passage dealing with LGBT issues.
The biggest problem with the protestant church today is the affirmation of sinful practices, neglecting what the Word of God says about it. It is the beginning of the end.

They call it 'pride'. I think if they feel like the Methodist church is not 'supportive' of their agenda, they should start their own church... Being inclusive should not mean embracing or supporting sinful behavior. We love our friends, just not the lifestyle they choose... The same could be said of a thief, or murderer, or hypocrite, etc... No one has ever said a member of the lgbt... is not welcome to church. Just don't try to force your agenda on the church.
Joseph P. Gudel of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod wrote an excellent article about the topic - it dates back to 1991 but accurately predicts where homosexuality and Christian denomimations are today as well as their role in society.
I’m actually seriously considering the LCMS as I am coming to a Lutheran understanding of Christianity and the Bible. I am going to look in to the source.
If God said it, I will believe it. I refuse to sit on the fence. Satan owns the fence! I will not be a Methodist anymore, after loving the Methodist Church for 75 years.

@@jacobtennyson9213 That the Methodist Church left its members. That why attendance has declined. My family found another church that still preaches the Holy Bible instead of ultra liberal rigamarole about inclusiveness and acceptance of sinful lifestyles.
The PROVEN TRUTH is that homosexuality is completely normal, healthy, and natural for humans, animals, and even plants. If you believe God is truth, but you are unwilling to accept actual, proven truth, then your beliefs about God are bullshit.
HAIL 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. Romans 1:26-28.
HAIL “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” Leviticus 20:13 KJV

Stunning comment at the end by Amory Peck: "They will say we can't do this--that's not godly, it's not biblical (to offer gay marriage), but how should we put it: we kindly don't care." Therein lies the attitude which sounds wholly unchristian and uncaring, and as if the rest of the U.S. church and the African church are lost causes.
Jude 1 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day- 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
That homosexual man saying, " I want God's blesing!" Is so typical of the warped, self obsessed mind of unrepentant sinners. "I want to hold onto my sin and still receive all the blessings of God!" No! You've been commanded to repent of your sins, and lay them at the foot of the cross where Jesus paid for them with his life! If you refuse to accept the word of almighty GOD himself; to defy his commands and say, "I know better than him. My morals are higher than his!" Then you are choosing to reject God. How then can you hope to enter his kingdom still covered in the filth of your sins, having spent your entire life refusing to be washed clean? The answer, though painful, is simple! You can't! You won't! And it has always been YOUR choice! You may win in semantic debate with weak men and you may even enter their inner sanctums with your glib arguments but you will NEVER defy God's will nor force your way into his holy sanctury. All you've achieved here with this farcical campaign is to poison the church and deliver a death sentence to it...and rightly so. Any church that caves to sin was never deserving to survive. You service to Chriustianity in this light is that you've assisted in exposing the fraudulent from the genuine. You've highlighted another place to avoid for true believers and followers of Christ.

The church for so many years have been hit by false doctrines, teachings, proponents of change that simply (in plain words) contradiction with the teachings of Christ, and the early apostles. If at all, the very words of caution by the patriarchs of infiltration are surely taking its ugly face, and openly. They can change their stand on issues about - what is Sin(s) But the word of GOD can never change, what was sin then, remains sins till the day of the Lord’s.
Simply put, America has become rotten from their lack of hardship. Simply taking for granted and being passive allowed themselves to be corrupted. In places like Africa and China (Africa’s a bit... zealous for me, but I’m curious what they’re like myself) they are actively fighting the good fight. In simply out the hardest conditions. Their faith is tested in a much more brutal fashion than any other places. It’ll shine if they can hold on in such a dark place. America may become like that some day, but for now it’s rotting from the inside.

If you are a Christian or a Christian Church you cannot accept homosexuality. That is Biblical. You can, and should, accept the sinner as you should all sinners, but not the sin. Acceptance does NOT include performing such rights as marriage to join them together.

I'm a gay Christian. I'm still attracted to men but attraction alone is not sin. This is called temptation, acting on it either in my mind (as a fantasy) or physically is a sin. Christ forgave our sins and died to save us from their effects. I don't think ignoring that and continuing my lifestyle would honor Christ's death. I don't like to bash atheists because all atheists are different from one another. I was once one. I thought if God was real then he hated me for making me gay and having his servants constantly disparage me. The truth is in Corinthians, Paul says that it's a very good thing to marry but an even better one to dedicate your life to serving Christ, not a spouse. So I chose Christ, he has become more of a desire in my heart than easy sex or a 60 year marriage.
To all of those saying that Jesus would've accepted gay marriage, I'm sorry but you're mistaken. Jesus would've accepted the 'homosexual' not the 'homosexual-ity.'
John 7:53 8-11 speaks of a woman caught in adultery and the Pharisees were about to stone the woman for her sins, and Jesus stopped them and told the one who was without sin to cast the first stone. None were without sin and Jesus was the only one who could stone her. Instead, he told her to go and LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN. Therefore, while Jesus loved her and accepted her, he did NOT accept her sin.
I'm just telling you what the bible says about sin. If you want to argue that the bible says homosexuality is okay then fine, I'll listen to your argument. Don't try to say for one second that living a sinful life is okay however, Jesus clearly said it was NOT. 24:15 This couple has given in to temptation.
Im sad for you. Homosexuality is not a sin and if you believe it is then you believe that god created you with an incredible temptation meant to drive you to sin. Unless you believe that god didn’t make gay people in which case, why are you gay?
My friend Jesus is coming soon I tell you live it to marry gay by gay , that's very bad
You're Gay, not Christian.
You can't be homosexual when your a Christian. You can't enter heaven in the last days if you're still in your sins. You can't tell Jesus that your sins is ok. Jesus took our sins away so we can repent now to Him, take baptism to revive, restore and release us from our sins.
You can only enter heaven in your righteousness with Jesus incorruptible and pure. Because our sins will never be in heaven.
@@ciggystardust Folks leaving the faith because they want to believe in their own way instead of Jesus. They want to add their homosexuality and other sin culture like its ok for God. NO, God will never allow anything unclean to his heart.Having His people who follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior and doing any unclean things doesn't mix. Either you clean for Christ or bring dirty for Lucifer.

It is very sad, though I can't help thinking they were used by the conservative leadership in the US to shut down the debate. I didn't care for the way the narrator kept saying 'the African delegates, the African delegates,' as though they were an undifferentiated mob. It is likely that the preponderance of their votes went against inclusion, but these delegates too deserved the kind of individual profiles and recognition that the US-based clergy received.
The African delegates were cast as unyielding opponents here, but there's a long story behind the hostility of African churches towards LGBTQI+ people, and it involves bad faith from the US. When populations in sub-Saharan Africa were being decimated by AIDS, not only did the US government condition its financial aid on the purchase of drugs from American Big Pharma, preventing African states from sourcing cheap drugs from elsewhere, but American faith-based charities fanned out across the continent, spreading the message of abstinence, chastity, and hostility towards sex workers and LGBTQI+ people, portrayed as the vectors of HIV-AIDS. Even today, it is the evangelical wing of the church that sends most missionaries to Africa, and the evangelical church is conservative. It incentivises the politics of moral judgement and exclusion. I think of how much worse it must be for sexual minorities in African congregations.

This is a spiritual de-evolution. What is sin now? Jesus said if you follow me, the world will hate you. We have taken the teeth out of what sin is what we can identify as sin. We have allowed these sins to fester and remain and called it good which is a sign of God's wrath according to Isaiah.

Every one has a choice. But churches that don't follows God's words that's been written down in the Bible can't be a Christian church.
Is the Bible God's word? The Bible that we in the US read isn't the original Bible as it was written by its Greek authors. Its been translated. And translation is not an easy task. Its not a matter of matching words together like many religious scholars like to pretend it is. You must be able to thoroughly understand not just the literal text, but the person who wrote the words and the two *cultures* you are translating between. The passages that supposedly deal with homosexuality are all fraught with issues. The most glaring issue with the New Testament mentions are particularly curious. The Greeks had a word for homosexual relations. Yet the original authors didn't use that word.
Recommend looking up "StopBibleAbuse", a website that breaks down in incredible detail the full meaning behind each passage dealing with LGBT issues.

Such arrogance: "The west doesn't care". Well, the Midwest does care. I pray for the UMC to make this correct, Godly decision this weekend. Let the sinners repent or go elsewhere to affirm their sin. God help us all.
They call it 'pride'. I think if they feel like the Methodist church is not 'supportive' of their agenda, they should start their own church... Being inclusive should not mean embracing or supporting sinful behavior. We love our friends, just not the lifestyle they choose... The same could be said of a thief, or murderer, or hypocrite, etc... No one has ever said a member of the lgbt... is not welcome to church. Just don't try to force your agenda on the church.
wish homophobics would go elsewhere
@@pastorbri we wish homosexuals would go else where
this is not related with Word of God. LGBTQ is not Christian
It can be as powerful as you want. Is it biblical?
No its not.

Joseph P. Gudel of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod wrote an excellent article about the topic - it dates back to 1991 but accurately predicts where homosexuality and Christian denomimations are today as well as their role in society.
I’m actually seriously considering the LCMS as I am coming to a Lutheran understanding of Christianity and the Bible. I am going to look in to the source.
@@romanthechristian5237 The other Evangelical LUTHERAN CHURCH OF AMERICA is Lqbtxyz.
Paul didn’t have one , because picking up his cross to follow Jesus was his life! Pick up your cross!
The most loving thing you can do is to give someone the truth
If God said it, I will believe it. I refuse to sit on the fence. Satan owns the fence! I will not be a Methodist anymore, after loving the Methodist Church for 75 years.
It’s not up to the church to decide whether homosexuality is a sin. IT IS. God spoke through his word already
@@GeorgetteIV it should be up to parents. My point is God decides what is sin, not us. Not the church and not the government.
I never expected the protestants to respect the holy tradition in general, but legalisation of homosexuality is a disrespect towards the Scriptures itself. After all, the protestant aren't much different than the Roman-Catholic predecessors.
Right we should all be Eastern Orthodox Church another divided religion
Then you never followed Protestantism
So I’m assuming you’re racist
This is why I no longer attend church.
The majority of the churches are not like this one.
Then you no longer attend heaven if you reject Jesus and His Church.
@@jacobtennyson9213 That the Methodist Church left its members. That why attendance has declined. My family found another church that still preaches the Holy Bible instead of ultra liberal rigamarole about inclusiveness and acceptance of sinful lifestyles.
No biblical debate, no appeal to church history, followed by no church discipline. This is a problem.
come to the Orthodox Church. we actually value God's word.
The PROVEN TRUTH is that homosexuality is completely normal, healthy, and natural for humans, animals, and even plants. If you believe God is truth, but you are unwilling to accept actual, proven truth, then your beliefs about God are bullshit.
Gods word is to accept all and love all not hate like what you’re doing
@@afrenchfrog1047 Its us who need to accept Christ, not the the other way round. Christ refuses no one, but we refuse him by choosing sin
@@afrenchfrog1047 We don't accept sin, we fight it.
@@rootdrone6225 than fight your existence.
So what, they're just gonna vote something out of the bible? This is absurd.
Ok great, tell me where it's written i've never found it
Go do it
HAIL
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. Romans 1:26-28.
HAIL. “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”
Leviticus 18:22
HAIL “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”
Leviticus 20:13 KJV
Thats why it passed muster because majority of the delegates are from the lgbts group. Love the sinner NOT THE SIN!. And with the passing of this law, the UMC is disobeying God.
They are obeying the True God.

Pastor quotes Mark 10:9“Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Two verses before that, Mark 10:7 says ‘For this reason a MAN will leave his father and mother and be united to his WIFE and the two will become one flesh.
I don’t understand why these queers want to reform it. They can make a new denomination.
How can anyone expect God's blessing on what God has condemned?
His Word endures forever. God have mercy on these deceived people.

Cancel culture Conservatives And liberals, have turned their back on God to they just in name only Trying to subvert the churches. Too late the country is trying destroy God, belittling when his word. Picking Choosing what to follow. Make an immoral into moral America is done. Without God morality is not necessary. People pick and choose what to follow even if they hate it. U sposed to follow God not have God follow you. Aka (Gayness). I wish I could send my kid to a Christian school. I cannot afford it. We let this happen.the laws they are responsible. passed the laws they are responsible and with all these Alphabet people causes. I use to be proud of America. They just trying to solidify the gay stuff. We May as well fully cancel God they pretty much done it, Don't just keep the parts they like. They have Forsaken God
Stunning comment at the end by Amory Peck: "They will say we can't do this--that's not godly, it's not biblical (to offer gay marriage), but how should we put it: we kindly don't care." Therein lies the attitude which sounds wholly unchristian and uncaring, and as if the rest of the U.S. church and the African church are lost causes.
People who go to these progressive "Churches" worship their selves.
Jude 1 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day- 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Be carful teachers for you will be held at a higher measure.
Isaiah 55 : 8-9.
My thoughts are higher than your Thoughts and My Ways are higher than Your Ways .
Please let that sink in .
That homosexual man saying, " I want God's blesing!" Is so typical of the warped, self obsessed mind of unrepentant sinners. "I want to hold onto my sin and still receive all the blessings of God!" No! You've been commanded to repent of your sins, and lay them at the foot of the cross where Jesus paid for them with his life! If you refuse to accept the word of almighty GOD himself; to defy his commands and say, "I know better than him. My morals are higher than his!" Then you are choosing to reject God. How then can you hope to enter his kingdom still covered in the filth of your sins, having spent your entire life refusing to be washed clean? The answer, though painful, is simple! You can't! You won't! And it has always been YOUR choice! You may win in semantic debate with weak men and you may even enter their inner sanctums with your glib arguments but you will NEVER defy God's will nor force your way into his holy sanctury. All you've achieved here with this farcical campaign is to poison the church and deliver a death sentence to it...and rightly so. Any church that caves to sin was never deserving to survive. You service to Chriustianity in this light is that you've assisted in exposing the fraudulent from the genuine. You've highlighted another place to avoid for true believers and followers of Christ.
The only way it seems for the UMC to maintain it's biblical stance on Marriage is by this continuing growth in Africa

Gonna make my prediction. All christian denominations are gonna fall for this doctrine except the two oldest apostolic churches such as the catholic and the orthodox church. Tradition( depost of faith) is what gonna keep those churches from falling into modern times pressure.
Not NIFB.
At the rate things are going, it’ll be a cutting of the chaff for sure. Either individual experiences will bring whole the message of God, that being new churches will rise from communities reading the Bible without the influence of Mainstream. Or perhaps something new may occur. I can’t tell.
Whatever the case, stay safe.

You have to repent from all forms of immorality and sexual sin either you do or you dont .
you also need to repent of homophobia and discrimination.

@Royal Nugget - According to His word, I do know what He thinks or else He wouldn’t have written it and contradicted Himself
@@JackmeriusTacktheritrix-000 Well the bible has several mistranslations, Including the 'Man shall not lay with Man' part. It's actually more that People cannot have sex with others in temples and that men shouldn't have sex with children y'know? Something against pedophilia.
Royal Nugget - Using the Young’s _Literal_ Translation, or even the Dead Sea Scrolls, you will see, there is no mistranslation. It has nothing to do with pedophilia. _You_ would have to have deliberately mistranslated the Bible to represent your belief of what it says. Further, read Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9. They all speak against homosexuality in both the Old _and_ New Testaments.

God, you say SORRY now for destroying Sodom and Gomorrah!!!
Truly! very sad indeed! The church for so many years have been hit by false doctrines, teachings, proponents of change that simply (in plain words) contradiction with the teachings of Christ, and the early apostles. If at all, the very words of caution by the patriarchs of infiltration are surely taking its ugly face, and openly. They can change their stand on issues about - what is Sin(s) But the word of GOD can never change, what was sin then, remains sins till the day of the Lord’s.
It's just another religion. Please rename your religion.
The saddest part is that this idealogy has made its way in the seminary. The center of Christendom isnt in the US anymore. Its Africa, China.
Simply put, America has become rotten from their lack of hardship. Simply taking for granted and being passive allowed themselves to be corrupted.
In places like Africa and China (Africa’s a bit... zealous for me, but I’m curious what they’re like myself) they are actively fighting the good fight. In simply out the hardest conditions. Their faith is tested in a much more brutal fashion than any other places. It’ll shine if they can hold on in such a dark place.
America may become like that some day, but for now it’s rotting from the inside.
It's made it's way OUT of the seminaries
@@cityguard4847 same with the united kingdom. they've had it so easy that they think the world is like that.
