The UMC is splinting because of many issues. The number one reason is the blatant disregard of the UMC Book of Discipline. If progressive liberals want to preach political Marxist theology, then they should have started their own 'church' instead of ignoring book of discipline that the UMC has followed since 1784. My church in Texas just voted 87% to leave the UMC and to continue on with what John Wesley started with Methodism.
Hats off to the churches leaving the UMC. All scriptures in the New Testament have homosexuality in the negative. To preach otherwise is to ignore or rewrite scripture.
It would be helpful if the media would make an attempt to actually research and report accurately on the issues, rather than just reading from a teleprompter what is written by an equally uninformed staffer or intern. Only through the interviews is the viewer able to glean any useful information at all.
I know it's not Frazer because the already left because they left 2 or 3 years ago. It cost them $4 million to withdraw. That's because the UMC owns the property of the churches, the buildings, the facilities. The same thing is going to happen in the Southern Baptist Convention over the exact same issues. You preach God's word, the whole counsel of His word without apology.
It costs my church almost a million dollars to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church! We had just paid off our mortgage and had to borrow money to get out!
Good thing they did. As predicted, the UMC went the liberal route, and subsequently shut down any further disaffiliations. That denomination is hemorrhaging members and churches. Those that stay will simply lose members and eventually go bankrupt. Expect to see a LOT of UMC church properties with for sale signs in the near future.
It’s not quite that simple, but I understand your sentiment. The ones who should discipline the churches who are not adhering to the Methodist Book of Discipline, refuse to do so. Some churches chose not to support the offending churches in any way. To stay is to support.

@@JWM75 batman is not of God. 😉 All reading this should read the book of Mormon for themselves and judge if it is of God. 10 And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good.

If there's no mention of repentance or sin something is wrong

We attend two UMC churches one voted to go to the global the other voted and went to a traditional non denominational church.

you have to pay to get out of denominations

People swear to uphold the Discipline, but turn their backs!!

You really don't realize what the UMC got wring unless you truly know Jesus.

And yet, they all embrace the Bible as the word of God...but yet there are so many divisions. Kind of interesting.
NBC being a woke mouthpiece. Whats new
Hopefully the split will
Couse the United Methodist
To go bankrupt
The "United" Methodist Church should let Jesus know He got it wrong.
No, the "Untied" Methodist church is in the wrong. Not Jesus.
@@pwcorgi2000 I agree. My post was intended to be obvious sarcasm. I may have failed in that regard.
Mankind is getting so conceited they think they're smarter than God.
I don't remember anywhere Jesus said anything about the subject. Perhaps you meant Paul?
@@Xezlec No, I meant Jesus. In Matthew 19, Jesus carefully and deliberately affirms that marriage is defined as one man and one woman.
