The departing Georgia churches mark the latest in a growing divide among Protestants over LGBTQ issues
Seventy churches in Georgia split from the United Methodist Church (UMC) last week largely over LGBTQ issues, marking the latest in a growing divide within the third-largest Protestant denomination in the United States.
The North Georgia Conference voted last Thursday to allow the churches, most of which were in rural areas, to disaffiliate from the UMC. The process for disaffiliation was laid out by the 2019 General Conference of The United Methodist Church through 2023, according to the North Georgia United Methodist Church Conference website.
In 2021, the Board of Trustees adopted a process and, along with District Superintendents, walked alongside the churches that requested to disaffiliate. The conference established ratification by the Annual Conference as the final step in that process.
As many churches turn to luciferian idealogy over TRUTH!! Be ready because the day is coming as more will turn their backs to God’s truth and will hate you because you still believe
Yet your God permits purchasing of slaves, sale of your own daughters into slavery, death penalty for anyone working on Sunday, etc. In my opinion you are just picking and choosing scripture depending on your own fears and prejudices.
Organized religion. Is like organized crime. You give money, so they can give you protection from God. If Jesus saves, he better save himself, from the glory glory seekers ,who would use his name in death.
In my opinion you may burn in hell for your luciferian beliefs. some citizens believe this country was and is still a christian one, with no room for demonic false gods other than the one true christ, son of god, and our one true lord. with all due respect, the rest of you can go suffer the consequences of failure to abide by HIS rules.
