Methodist Church closer to
official split over LGBTQ issues

Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon, 8/17/2019 11:00:18 AM

The United Methodist Church would maintain neighborliness, but would split into separate wings, in the aftermath of disagreements over LGBTQ rights in the church, according to a blueprint released by church leaders this week. In a statement announcing the “Indianapolis Plan,” the Methodist Church’s news service called the schism on LGTBQ issues “irreconcilable” but offered a plan for the church and its 12 million worldwide members that roughly splits the church into sectarian denominations, while maintaining “legal continuation” of the church.(Snip) The church would split into a centrist/progressive wing, which would maintain the church’s legal identity and allow for ordination and marriage

Comments:

They've only destroyed part of a church, but rest assured they'll bully the traditional side into compliance by branding them homophobes, backward bigots, etc. That's why they're called progressives.

"... in the aftermath of disagreements over LGBTQ rights in the church.." Why do they even frame it it that way? It makes it sounds as if the Church is expected to be about something other than the relationship between God and the needing human heart: God and His Law and His love for suffering, erring people. How about"... in the aftermath of disagreements about Biblical fidelity and the lasting authority of God's laws concerning sex and marriage"?

One of the Wings of the church will be named Biblical Methodist Church and the other will be named Apostate Methodist Church.

So one side of the UMC has declared itself superior to the Creator on matters of sin, sexuality, and church leadership. Warning: That position is a very risky one.

I am a baptized Methodist but haven't been to church in years. I prefer to open up the Bible and find instant inspiration. My local church went too SJW for my taste a few years back. Churches are dying because they are giving up their structure and standards. If anything goes because it is now legal, rather than moral, then religion has no place. Water down the message and you take away the reasons for even going to church. Being the "cool kid" has done organized religion no favors.

#2, very well said. Rarely, if ever, does the media touch the Biblical issue. It is always presented in terms of the rights of the so-called oppressed homosexual community, the ones with the most powerful lobby in the Federal government and with a stranglehold on academia and the media. Satan began to attack the Church in the beginning. The Methodists and other mainline denominations veered off course 100 years ago.

Mainstream churches are dying because they went full SJW and focused less on the Bible and faith, and more on liberal politics. The aim of the LGTBQ activists is to either destroy Christianity or make it meaningless. Like #5, I haven't been a regular church attendee in years. I get more out of my neighborhood Bible study group than on those rare occasions when I attend church. That group has brought me back to Jesus Christ.

I haven't been to a traditional Methodist service in decades. I miss it. I've gone instead to what at times comes close, but the service is more closely related to that of being Catholic. It's fine, and there are certainly parts of the service that are familiar, just not the same. I think what I really miss, is the pastor I grew up with. He was tall with a deep voice that commanded attention. Not in an evangelical way, just someone who spoke to YOU. When he gave a sermon, it was difficult not to listen.

#5,#7,#10,#13- Although conscientious reading of Scripture within our homes is commendable and very important, gathering to hear His Word preached, receive the Sacraments, offer prayers, sing, and give thanks are what God require of Christians. Scripture requires church attendance: “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25) There is at least one evangelical denomination that, thankfully, still adheres to Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and, as a believer, would encourage church attendance—in tribute to our triune God, in personal need for absolution, encouragement, and as loving stewards of His give of life and His blessings upon us.

Many of the so-called Christian denominations now including the Methodists have long ago abandoned any semblance of adhering to biblical principles and teachings. The Bible is no longer relevant in their minds. Where do theses pastors come from, what school of theology did they attend? The slippery slope has ceased to exist. It is full tilt "anything goes, there are no standards or values, no such thing as sin because it is all relative to how you feel." I hope the traditional Methodist church will adopt a new name to separate itself from the Church of What's Happening Now"

#6 - "Satan began to attack the Church in the beginning." Satan tempted Christ in the desert and Jesus gave us our example in times of temptation; do not dialog with the devil who also quotes Scripture. Satan then plied his trade with Peter's thrice denial and Judas's kiss. Christ knew Satan would always attack His flock and promised us the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church. Gates are a defensive position. We will prevail on offense and wither on defense. "The Methodists and other mainline denominations veered off course 100 years ago." They veered off course 500 years ago. As a Catholic, the Reformation was a catastrophe for Christianity. While Luther had legitimate concerns, he should have stayed within the Church, where they were addressed at the Council of Trent. Lutheranism didn’t last 12 years before the first split. His grave error was the personal interpretation of the Bible, separating Scripture from the Sacred Tradition recorded by the immediate disciples of the Apostles, the Church Fathers. It was this Sacred Tradition that informed the selection of writings that became The Bible. There are many references in the Gospels testifying that Christ would teach the meaning of the parables to the Apostles after the crowds left. What other teachings of Christ were not recorded in the Gospels or Epistles? We know those teachings from the writings of the Church Fathers. Separating oneself from the wisdom of the first century is like trying to navigate without a sextant. Despite its centuries of scandals, the Catholic Church still upholds all teachings regarding homosexuality, the Sacrament of Marriage and the sanctity of life. We also have Christ in the Eucharist. Come home to Rome.

My Methodist church is still quite conservative. Maybe because it's in a small southern town. They won't be going to the 'progressive' side. I would prefer a complete split....two separate entities entirely and each go their own way. The current group of bishops mostly lean left and aggressively lobbied for the 'One Church' idea over the traditional. If we are still attached to these bishops in any way, they will attempt to do exactly what OP said. It's not only the 'social justice' malarky that the mainstream churches have been pushing that has lost them so many members. It's the fact that the SJW pastors are mostly secular believers. They really don't believe in the one true 'product' that the Christian churches have to sell...eternal life. Without that faith, all you have is a social club and it's why the evangelical churches have been growing.

This is what the Episcopal Church went through back in the 70s. Now there is the Anglican Catholic Church, recalling its roots in the Church as it existed before the Great Schism. No pope, just an Archbishop. No female priests, only Apostolic Succession. No LBGTQ/SJW heresies. We are doing just fine and growing.

#20- With all due respect, the unrelenting denunciation of Martin Luther and the Reformation has been tolerated out of respect for the Judeo-Christian beliefs of others; however, that denunciation has become tiresome and offensive--it is for God to judge Martin Luther and every other mortal born on the face of this earth. God used a variety of individuals to bring about His will on earth, and it may be that God chose Martin Luther to bring about the Reformation. For many believers, other Judeo-Christian denominations are considered as different flowers, each with its own fragrance to one God. Aside from egregious violations of Scripture, the disagreements about doctrine within various churches should adhere to Scripture’s admonition, “judge not.” (Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:37, James 4:11-12) We may be considered by some as “deplorable” Lutherans, but we "deplorables" believe Martin Luther’s conviction that Scripture is, without question, the inerrant Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21), and Lutherans have Christ in the Eucharist.

I asked a Methodist minister about gays and the church split and he responded There are six religions, why us? Anybody else remember a FUMC bishop going to Congress to speak on behalf of an illegal who murdered an American?

#28 - With all due respect to my sister in Christ, I did not call you “deplorable” nor did I “denounce” Luther. I recognized he had legitimate concerns about human corruption and gave my opinion that he should have stayed in the Church to effect those reforms, which indeed eventually happened. This discussion is about the LGBT split happening within the Methodist community, as well as in all the mainline Protestant denominations. Even simple Bible based churches suffer splits if half the congregation doesn’t agree with the pastor’s interpretation of Scripture. All of this division is the direct result of personal interpretation of The Bible. Yes, Scripture is the inerrant Word of God, but the problem comes in with fallible human reading without context or full understanding. Why is the “conservative” interpretation right and the “progressive” wrong? Luther’s interpretation, Wesley’s, or your own? How can you correct the gross error in the legitimizing of homosexuality when it is based on someone else’s personal interpretation? Under what authority do you stand? The Catholic Church is a human organization with a Divine Mission. Despite the Borgia popes, schisms and heresies, the Deposit of Faith is no different today than it was 2,000 years ago. Indeed, the Holy Spirit guides Christ’s Church. In every thread about the scandals and problems with the earthly Church our Protestant friends never hesitate to urge Catholics to abandon the Ancient Faith. I see no reason why I cannot urge my Protestant brothers and sisters to come home to Rome. May the Peace of Christ be with you.

#35- Shalom. Deplorables - Granted, the “deplorable” accusation was not made; however, frequent criticisms of Martin Luther and “his interpretation” of Scripture, plus the alleged “disaster” of the Reformation, lends itself to the perception by Lutherans as a disgraceful/deplorable action thereby rendering Lutherans “deplorables.” LGBT Methodist Community, Mainline Protestant Denominations Discussion – Understood. Scripture, Pastor’s Interpretation, Fallible Human Reading – In agreement; however, becoming a LCMS pastor involves an undergraduate degree from an accredited college/university, three years of on-campus study, and a one-year vicarage, so the “interpretation” of Scripture by LCMS Lutheran pastors is not without the merits of having studied Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek and Latin—much like Catholic priests. Scripture, Legitimitizing Homosexuality – If that rhetorical question is directed to Lutherans, the answer needs to be made by the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) which does not represent LCMS or WELS (Lutheran Synods).

[Continued] Holy Spirit, Catholic Church, Divine Mission – Referencing Matthew 16:13-20, because of Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, Jesus declared that, upon this rock, the CONFESSION of Peter, He would build his Church. The Church was not built upon the authority of a man; it was built upon the ministry of the CONFESSION Peter made. On that basis, it would seem that all Judeo-Christian Churches are on a Divine Mission. Urging Catholics to Abandon the Ancient Faith – With regard to #15, no such urging was written or intended, simply an evangelical protestant responding to a Methodist protestant. One profound difference, however, is the heretofore repeated posts critical of Martin Luther and his “influence” because, for this writer, there has never been any criticism of Catholicism or the papacy.

[Continued] Martin Luther – Catholic scholar, Jerome, created a Latin version of the Bible; Martin Luther translated the Latin Bible into the German language--he did not “interpret” the Bible. Martin Luther believed “...that God’s Word is clear and should be published for all to read. It wasn’t any riskier than God sending His Son into the world. No matter how dark the world or our hearts are, ‘the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it (John 1:5), nor could it.’” He believed that “...the translation must speak as clearly as the original text, because the text shines brightly to illuminate the hearts of sinful men.” May the Peace of Christ be with you.

#36-38 - My dear friend, my intention was not to torment you or target Lutherans specifically. From your writings and defense of the faith I believe you love Jesus and know Him. Obviously, you are committed to the teachings of your beloved Lutheran church and Holy Scripture. I truly respect you and love you as a sister in Christ. My observations were regarding the never-ending splits within Protestantism, and the question regarding homosexuality was for yourself and the wider non-Catholic Christian community. I am fully aware of the rigorous theological training undertaken by Lutheran ministers, but I am also aware that anyone “who feels the Spirit” can open a store front church and call themselves a pastor. Martin Luther was prescient in seeing the power of the printing press to bring Holy Scripture into the hands of the faithful, as well as the corrupt practices that had seeped into the clergy. Others within the Church also saw the potential of the press and the corruption. Luther had many allies, even within the Magisterium, until he promulgated the personal interpretation of The Bible divorced from the wisdom of Sacred Tradition. It was only 12 years after Luther left the Church that the first split occurred. If Luther can have the Holy Spirit guide him, why not someone else? It wasn’t long before there were Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Puritans and Quakers; splits and more splits down until today where there are tens of thousands of “denominations” or Christians going it alone at home. As you have explained to me, even Lutheranism has four synods that don’t agree on everything. The problem is lack of authority when Scripture is open to interpretation.

What authority does any Protestant denomination have to say the acceptance of homosexuality is wrong, and those that teach so can no longer claim our name? The Episcopalians could not, nor the Lutherans, nor now the Methodists. I have often referred you to John 17, specifically verses 20-21. “I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me.” How can the world believe the Father sent Jesus if Christians are not one in their beliefs? This is why I think the last 500 years proves the wisdom of the Catholic Church staying true to the teachings of the Apostles and Church Fathers. The Catholic Church still upholds, wholly and complete, all aspects of Christian morality under attack in our current day. It has taught these truths for 2,000 years, defending them against schisms, heresies and horrible human corruption. Worldly temptations and falls experienced by our Protestant brethren as well. The difference is the Sacred Tradition, no matter how corrupt the papacy, clergy or faithful, no one has dared change doctrine. They have no authority to do so. God bless you and yours.

#39,#40- Shalom. Apology for tardy response due to medical issues. - “My observations ... never-ending SPLITS within Protestantism, and the question regarding HOMOSEXUALITY was for yourself... , ANYONE “who feels the Spirit” can open a store front church and call themselves a pastor.” / Splits, to be answered later. Homosexuality: Unequivocally, my belief in Scripture being the inerrant Word of God, homosexuality is a sin; only God will judge them. Anyone: Agree, except, for the most part, mainline denominations, but do have profound differences with some of them. - “Luther had many allies, ...until he promulgated the personal interpretation of The Bible divorced from the wisdom of SACRED TRADITION.” / Martin Luther’s personal interpretation was based on Scripture interpreting Scripture. Early church fathers (Clement of Alexandria, Trenaeus, Tertullian) appealed to oral tradition but warned against setting too high a value on it; the “Council of Trent placed tradition on a level with Scripture.” “Jesus and the apostles constantly appealed to the Bible as the final court of appeal. This they often did by the introductory phrase, ‘It is WRITTEN,’ which is repeated some 90 times in the New Testament." ---Continued---

To claim that the apostles did not WRITE DOWN all God’s revelation to them is to claim that they were not obedient to their prophetic commission not to subtract a word from what God revealed to them.” - “If Luther can have the HOLY SPIRIT guide him, why not someone else?” / Because Jerome appears to have been guided by the Holy Spirit in translating most of the Bible into Latin (Vulgate), it may be that God chosen Martin Luther to translate the Bible into German, and perhaps God chose others as well. May God’s will be done. - “The problem is LACK OF AUTHORITY when SCRIPTURE is open to interpretation.” / Agree, however, there is One Authority and that is Scripture interprets Scripture. “All Scripture is breathed out by God...” (2 Timothy 3:16-17) “...knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation.” (2 Peter 1:20-21) ---Continued---

Scripture, God’s Word, states that homosexuality is an abomination/sin: Genesis19:5, Leviticus18:22; 20-13, Deuteronomy22:5;23:18, Judges9:22-23, Romans1:26-27, 1Corinthians6:9-10, 2Peter6-11, Jude1:6-8, Revelation21:5-8;22:14-15. Denominations refusing to accept what is written in Scripture, as it is written, are rejecting God’s Word. - “How can the world believe the Father sent JESUS...one beliefs? -- SPLITS” / It is written, “There is the Spirit of God, and the spirit of antichrist. There are people who are of the world, and others who are of God. There is truth, and there is falsehood.” Satan is cunning, sending out false prophets, preachers looking good, sounding good, but “It is camouflaged corruption.” True believers hold fast to what is written in Scripture and must exclude all false teachings that go against them: “Either Christ is God in the flesh, or He is not.” There can be only one Truth as revealed in Holy Scriptures. That belief constitutes “one belief.” Without that “one belief,” there are splits in Protestantism. God bless you and yours. With respect and God’s love, your sister in Christ.

Speaking to reporters during a press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged the failures after being pressed about the administration’s handling of the situation. “I would say it’s clear we need to work more on getting the message out and being very clear, now is not the time to come,” said Psaki, before reiterating the Biden administration’s claim that “the majority

LIRR riders should brace for longer train waits starting Monday as the MTA implements its latest round of pandemic-driven service cuts. All Long Island Rail Road’s branches will be running weekdays on “enhanced” weekend schedules, with waits between trains increasing by more than 30 minutes during some parts of the day.(Snip) MTA officials in November threatened draconian cuts to all of New York’s mass transit systems if Congress didn’t provide more federal aid; it did in December—to the tune of $4 billion.

Meghan Markle did not secretly marry Prince Harry three days before their spectacular Windsor wedding, despite claims in their bombshell Oprah interview. It had been said the couple and just the Archbishop of Canterbury had been present in a low-key union before the televised ceremony. But a marriage has to have two witnesses and be solemnised by a member of the clergy in a church or licenced place.(Snip) But Reverend David Green, Vicar of St Mary’s, West Malling and the Rector of St Michael’s, Offham, said it was impossible to have had two weddings, adding: ‘I think the Archbishop needs to clarify

A quarter of the illegal immigrants dropped off in one Texas town tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the man who runs the homeless shelter where Border Patrol agents are bringing the migrants they’re catching and releasing. Bill Reagan, director of Loaves and Fishes, the food bank and shelter in Harlingen, Texas, said more cases are likely but are not being detecting because, given the conditions, testing is “almost useless.” (Snip) “We can’t quarantine them,” he told commissioners. “Even though they test positive, they’re going to leave the next day. They’re going to get on the bus or the airplane, and they’re gone.”

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

If you had any doubts that Meghan Markle is a manipulative piece of work, her bombshell Oprah interview Sunday night dumping on the British monarchy would set you straight. Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
