When my sister left the UMC, the pastor asked her why she was leaving. She replied, "Because I became a Christian." Surprisingly, the pastor's response was, "Oh, well, that makes sense."

The UMC ... just another gay bar.

The “UMC” congregation in question is no longer a Christian Church -—it is homo fraud. God will deal with them in his plan.

Yes, God loves all sinners. So by all means, welcome them into the church. Then remind them that they are to go and sin no more. If they continue to sin, God’s Word instructs that we, as believers, must cast them out from among us.

If they’re going to refer to themselves as the CUMC, why is anyone surprised they support this?

Same as - they “allegorize” anything they don’t agree with.
In so doing, they’ve put their own reason/authority over that of the word of God, and made themselves God. (Gen 3:4-5).
For instance, I’ve heard this explanation of Lott’s wife:
She was turned into a pillar, as in a “pillar of the community”, because she cared so much about the people of Sodom and Gomorrah that she couldn’t help but look back.

Being gay is a gift from God, asserts one church in Ohio. For some reason, my first thought was:
They're wrong....and they will find that out in the end.

If being gay is a gift from god then so it pedophilia.

A gift not available to UMC pastors. The UMC defrocks gay pastors.

The gift of population control.
To: ZGuy
Declarations that sinful desires are a gift from God: following the well-worn empty path of Luther and King Henry VIII who taught the world to make it up as you go along and pretend that it’s Christian.
A Church where every member is a sinner in need of salvation and mercy: God’s plan.
A “church” that eliminates sin by redefining it: evil.
To: ZGuy
General conference is next May.
Last time we had a general conference the police had to be called and some gays were taken away in cuffs. Of course the bishops allowed the demonstrators to come in and of course they stopped all proceedings to allowo them to desecrate the altar and chalice.
So, basically the UMC is a microcsm of our world. The few sick and twisted and (IMO) stanically corrupted bishops control the mass of true believers.

Nonsense. I know of 2 lesbian pastors who were elevated to district superintendants.

RE :”
The overwhelming scientific evidence is that people are born with their sexual orientation, that it is not a choice, the church contends. Fully accepting ones sexual orientation and identity is key to leading a normal and healthy life. Forcing people to act against their God-given sexual orientation will lead to disordered lives. Allowing people to act in accordance with their God-given sexual orientation leads to reconciliation ...; Believing sexuality to be a good gift from God or as they declared yet another way in Gods infinite diversity CUMC defines sin as denying who God created them to be.....Holding people responsible for matters in which they have no control is irrational and immoral, the church declares. We believe that both those within and without the Church are hungry for dialogue about homosexuality that reflects compassion and humility rather than intolerance and strife”
I thought the above positions on sin and choice were interesting. Do hetrosexual men have a 'choice' when they 'harrass' women on the job by hitting on them for sex? Isnt that our male nature? sexual gratification?? Is it wrong to restrain that too?
I still remember the 1980s when these liberals were blaming Christians, more specifically Reagan, for that ‘gift’ that homosexuals were spreading to each other called HIV, in spite of being warned not to by the Reagan administration.

Odd.
This is from a church named the Central United Methodist.
What appropriate acronym can be made from that name?
