Dozens of Methodist leaders are objecting to Mississippi’s new religious objections law, saying it violates their religious principles.
More than 30 ministers from around the state and nation published an open letter Monday saying the so-called “religious freedom” law goes against Christian teachings to love and respect all people. The group joins major businesses, human rights groups and legal experts in opposing the incoming law, which they say discriminates against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. […]

Pseudo Christians for sure. More like soldiers of the devil’s army and nothing short on an assault on Christianity. Just my take.
Methodists used to be no drink, no dancing, no premarital sex and marriage was male + female done by a male pastor.
What passes for Methodists today is the church of feel good, do what tickles your tummy & groin, vote Democrat and sometimes go to church to act smug. God, Jesus and admonitions in the Bible are way down the list.
The complaining pastors are making the rope Islamists will hang all Christians with.
the problem is that not enough pastors and churches will come out in favor of the law to coutner this loud screamign by the unsaved who call themselves Christians, and so the media will play htis up like htis small group represents Christianity as a whole-

So this clown thinks that sexual deviants have always been part of his church? That’s a weird church. I suppose he doesn’t have a problem with rapists and murderers either. God has to be ashamed of these “churches.”
Now the reverse seems true.
Hate sin; love the sinner, does not mean you have to enable the sinful and perverted, destructive acts of the sinners. Laws aren’t passed to enable bank robbers or murderers but their souls are to be valued (loved) and their sins can be forgiven.
