United Methodist Church in Prairie Village, Kansas; homosexuals

 

Fifty hand-picked Christians were part of a seminal conference last week planned by Matthew Vines, a 23-year-old gay Christian who believes Scripture allows for monogamous homosexual activity, in an effort to spread the idea in the American church over the next decade.

 

Vines says he has had success in convincing lay members of churches over the last year that monogamous homosexual activity is allowed by Scripture, but is encountering resistance from Scriptural scholars. He is likely to encounter much more, say theologians.

 

More than 100 people applied to participate in the four-day conference, though only 50 were accepted, and the chosen were required to rigorously study throughout the summer before the conference even began. Vines sent them 1,100 pages of dense, academic reading material, for example, to make sure they understood both sides of the issue before the event began last Wednesday.

 

“The goal of the conference was to be training Christians who are in churches that don’t currently support LGBT people and to give them the biblical tools and knowledge that they need to go back to their churches and have constructive, persuasive conversations with other believers on these issues,” Vines told CP.

 

Some conference participants do attend LGBT-affirming churches, Vines told CP, though those who do so have other ties to conservative Christians.

How many will they lead astray from God's Word into sins that are an abomination to our God? Probably many will fall for their false teaching for the world hates God & His ways.

Sadly Vines is deceived and has no hope as he believes in a different gospel, a different Jesus Christ.

Those firmly grounded in the Word will not fall for this, which is why they restricted access. Their plan is to play upon emotion and twisted human reasoning.

 

Sadly, many within the UMC are not saved and therefore open to deceptions such as this.

From the article:  “Our primary goal is not to make the church pro-LGBT,” said Vines.  This statement is hard to believe.

From the article:  “Our primary goal is not to make the church pro-LGBT,” said Vines.  This statement is hard to believe. 

This is a primary goal of the homosexual movement, to get homosexuality and their accompanying perversions accepted as normal within all churches.

 

Not only is this going on in the UMC, but we've already seen this battle going on in the Episcopal church as well as many others.

 

One door that some churches have already opened, which the homosexuals are exploiting, is the acceptance of women as pastors. These churches have already shown their disregard for clear biblical teaching and the homosexuals put forth their propaganda long the same lines as the "reasoning" for acceptance of female pastors.

 

This is also occurring in some Baptist churches, though thankfully, I don't know of any IFB churches yet giving in to this.
