      @@glennestes4940 On the altar is a cross and flame, the standard logo of United Methodism. On the flag that was brought in is a symbol that incorporates a tau-rho cross with a shepherd's crook, which is a long-standing symbol for a bishop. The large banner at the back of the stage incorporates a cross and a grapevine. This is a reference to our theme for the conference, taken from the Lord's words in John 15, about the vine and branches.

    The Scriptures haven't changed, but our willingness to ignore them sure has! If you are about to leave a seminary and haven't grasped that while the word "homosexual" was added later, the practice of same-sex sexual immorality IS vividly described in the ancient Old and New Testament texts repeatedly, please get all of your money back and sue the school. Lastly, what hymn number is Love Train by the O'Jays?

    1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NLT) "Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

    "You are to fully detach", "You are not to recruit members from the Western NC Conference", "You are not to recruit Clergy from the Western NC Conference" and this is the best one "You shall not comment as to who we are as a church". "This will not contribute to your peace". These are the exact words of Bishop Carter upon 113 churches disaffiliating from the UMC Western North Carolona Conference. Conciliatroy, or threats? Is this enforceable?. We ALL need to be honest now.....everyone. Divorces happen for reasons and there are ALWAYS two sides to every position. Hearts AND minds, Hearts AND minds.

    Psalm 19:7-10 Says "The Torah (law) of YeHoVah is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of YeHoVah is sure, making wise the simple ; The statutes of YeHoVah are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of YeHoVah is pure, enlightening the eyes ; The fear of YeHoVah is clean , enduring forever; The judgements of YeHoVah are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. YeHoVah God warns us in Jeremiah 17:5 " Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from YeHoVah". Romans 1:20-21 Says " Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts , and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they become fools

    Let's be completely honest Ken, there were no "acrimony" or "voting irregularities" at the conference because a great majority of Traditionalists have disaffiliated...and more will be leaving individually. The conference was widely viewed as not a religious gathering, but a gay circus - hence this video to "spin it". Divestiture of Israeli bonds is an outrage. I have been a Methodist my entire life. While saddened, I am balanced by the fact that schisms have happened many, many times in the Methodist Church and many other deniminations - and it will happen again. As the more radical elements embed themselves within the "new UMC" there will be further splits because you cannot endorse and support something without teaching it. Homosexuality will now be taught within the "new UMC". Remaining Traditionalists will be pushed out. Disaffiliation was not stopped because it was creating dissension, it was stopped to prevent further financial bleeding. This is undeniable.

    Approximately 1/3 of the churches in Western North Carolina disaffiliated! 🚩 They are saying do not listen to people who have problems with the direction of the UMC, with a warning about disinformation. 🚩 They are saying “love is love”. 🚩 After watching several commentaries, and videos taken at the conference, it really looks like this is an example of the marriage of a church denomination to Social Justice. Social Justice is rooted in Marxism, which comes from gnostic beliefs. The Bible warned against this. 😢

    Not canceling the 2020 conference and reelection of delegates and delaying visas for central conferences cast a light of illegitimacy to this meeting of the UMC.

Thank you for having the courage to leave comments on.

      Progressives get a little sniff of power (that they were handed by the people who built the church, and the country) and they make a 2 week mockery of one of the largest mainline denominations in the world. Traditionalists will never be welcome around an institution run by the modern day left, and the ones who stayed had the door slammed shut right in their face. If you think what happened at general conference was business as usual, then by all means have fun with the UMC. Great job.

    So sad to see a great denomination cave to sin in the name of "affirmation" and "tolerance". The church should be helping the lgbtq community come out of their sexual sin instead of giving them a free pass. It is not hate speech to offer/suggest spiritual and professional counseling for the lgbtq community. Their souls are more important. The Bible is clear about homosexuality and sexual sin. Yet, the UMC now allows a very very small group of people to openly in-your-face commit and practice sexual sin. Jesus loves us all, but hates the sins. So what is next, banning God's Word for "hate speech"? 1 Timothy 5:20 ESV As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. Galatians 6:1 ESV Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 ESV But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler-not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” 1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality.

    When someone says, "Don't listen to sources which are not supportive of our institution" I draw parallels to Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. It's an indicator of deception. I say this confidently, since our view of the early church comes not simply from supporting viewpoints, but also neutral and antagonist viewpoints. If an institution cannot stand under the scrutiny of opposition, then it is no longer an institution with integrity.
