A can of worms has long since been opened. They tricked our kids, who see no problem with this disgusting, immoral, FILTH. I applaud the God-fearing in the Methodist Church for making a strong stand against it; my own denomination is wavering before my eyes. It is tearing churches and families apart.
More rebellion against GOD that makes me happy to be a recovering Methodist.
As a lifelong Methodist, I’m seriously considering the Wesleyan or a Lutheran Missouri Synod church.
I’ve had enough of mine watering the Bible down.

John Wesley would be disgusted that the church he founded is rejecting the Bible.
A. That's because the LGBT's won't leave and start their own damned church (and I mean that very sincerely), as they have been asked to do numerous times. No, the objective is for secular atheist homosexualism to defeat believers in the Word of God and to force the dhimmi trads to convert to homosexual supremacy and spout heresies like the homosexualists.
B. You don't have "rights" in a church. You have grace—if you follow the Word of God.
So many conservative Methodists who are stuck in a liberal denomination lack the courage to walk away.
Can someone come up with an institution these mentally ill people haven’t infiltrated?
My own Catholic Church also has canon law, but it's very had to invoke it if your bishop doesn't want it invoked.
Here's one hopeful note on the Methodists: I remember that for decades, the "Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights" had their offices in the Methodist Building (UMC) in Washington, DC. I don't think that's the case anymore. I don't know why or how that situation changed, but I'm guessing that some conscientious Methodist must have belatedly blown the whistle.
Sad news.
Neverthless...
...God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity."--2Timothy 2:19
The fact they’re even debating Sodomite Pastors is the reason I left the UMC, along with about 15-20 million of my Christian brothers and sisters.
How do the members fight? You don't have to leave your church. Just resign your membership! Not being able to claim you in their numbers will drive them nuts. Sit in the pews, join the worship--but resign your membership and withhold your money and service. Donate those to something worthy.
Satan is taking over the churches, one by one.
It is no longer a viable denomination if it cannot rule itself.
The closer to the second coming we get, the worse society will get.
As these churches embrace evil, wise people will understand that those churches were never God’s true church to begin with.
Every church that embraces homo marriage was always a false church from the beginning.
The violence will continue to increase and so will the acceptance of all things homo. It’s sad and it makes good people angry, but this was no surprise. It was prophesied about since the time of Adam.
Personally it causes me to marvel at prophesy actually coming to pass right in front of my eyes.
I know what’s coming. I just built a new home on land outside the city. I’m going to be canning and storing food that I grow. Remember, God told Noah that the flood was coming, it was up to Noah to build the boat.
