Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

And 'he shall rule over he' or is it 'she shall rule over she', oh who cares we don't believe it is God's Word anyways! -looney liberals

The UMC will be the next to allow their pastors to perform gay marriages and also let gay/lesbians fill the pulpit. When they do this it will rip apart the UMC and many rural UMC churches will fold.

we are seeing 1 Tim 4 and 2 Tim 3 & 4 becoming fulfilled

A very wicked man who considers himself to be noble and morally superior to those who hold a biblical view. This man and his ilk believe they know more than God and completely ignore Romans ch 1.

Psalms 2 says that God will laugh at their calamity and have them in derision. Judgment is sure and certain.

For the cause of Christ

The signals have already been sent.
The UMC puts a guy back in who is an admitted LGBTQ advocate, who did an official same-sex wedding.
What else could be clearer about where today's UMC stands?

An appeals committee Tuesday reinstated a United Methodist pastor who had been defrocked for officiating his gay son’s wedding.The Rev. Frank Schaefer, 52, is once again a clergy member in the church, a resolution he said was important for his work as an LGBTQ advocate.

UMC attendees/churches need to start leaving now.
Don't stick around so the two sides can "talk it out".
Talking it out is a delay tactic to keep you in the fold until you cave to their demands.

The central issue at hand for the UMC is MONEY.

The UMC in the USA is a connection based denomination, which means each church in a State conference must pay certain connection based apportionments to the State Conference.

The UMC churches in certain rural area's of the USA are traditionalist and will not budge on this issue, as they should not budge on the issue. the large more liberal states will force the vote.

This will cause the denomination into Bankruptcy, so the council of the UMC will either bow down or go bankrupt. Where I live at there is a UMC church in even the smallest of towns. Some towns have 2-4 UMC churches and their views are divided right down the middle.

The whole denomination hinges on the future decision of the Homosexual issue. Because of their connection oriented bylaws, splitting the denomination into 2 is not feasible and will result in fiscal disaster, including bankruptcy.

Yeah no doubt and sexual immorality is a sure sign of impending judgment from God in the form of wrath.....the embracement of this leads to destruction and most are blind to the fact that the U.S. is not beyond the hand of God and she is fixing to burn!

Very good point, many here in the USA think we are somehow immune from God's judgement

<sigh> So many lost....so little time
