I have understood that the United Methodist Church is split over gay issues with both liberal and conservative fractions. What will happen and how will it end?

Hi Folks...
I never understand this issue or the confusion it brings.. I mean - clearly - the god of the bible itself - the "head honcho" they all suppose to follow and worship - IS AGAINST GAYS - end of discussion as far as THAT "od" goes...It HAS given MANDATES that forbid such sexual activity - and it HAS ALREADY destroyed whole cities FOR that activity specifically...So they say and firmly believe IN THE BIBLE ITSELF...
So the confusion comes then from MAN once again it seems - for the god itself condemns the activity openly and forcefully - and yet its so called followers now question their own gods judgements and decrees... Being gay and being a bible following christian are clearly INCOMAPATABLE - the god OF the bible obviously despises the activity and lifestyle and condemns all who embrace it, as said even to the point it murders them for that lifestyle (in the bible itself).....
Whats the issue then..??...If these church goers REALLY believe and follow their god then THEIR choice is clear - they MUST reject gays outright as their god does..
or - if they find their own personal experience does NOT follow the religious gods dictates - then just as obvious really - they SHOULD leave the "church" altogether![]()
Hi Folks..
Brad; Yer Im with you mate - it IS an issue within all the so called "christian churchs" - and that is because as said the god they ALL worship and follow is as said totally against gays and homosexual relations.................................
That is a very reactionary view and fortunately rather rare in Europe and the UK.
Like every one else Gays were created by God, as to was their nature.I do no believe for one minute that God hates anything he has created.
Homosexuality is as natural as any other sexuality and is God given.
There are likely to be reactionary, bigoted and hateful church members around in the world for a while yet, following their narrow minded agenda.
But it will never stop the good works done in their churches, in the name of God, by people they hate.
Hi Folks....
................and clearly, THEIR position - SHOULD BE - their GODS position - and their god position is indeed, utter contempt for homosexuals...
You cannot be a bible adherant "christian" of ANY denomination that follows the bible as "gods word", and still embrace or condone homosexual behaviour..The two are completely incompatable as that "god" made very clear indeed by wiping them out without mercy compassion or even chance to repent...Just anhialate them was its choice and the religion in all its flavours must now go along WITH that gods decrees...
