    Default Nebraska teens tell Methodist church to go f themselves, sign of the times

    Entire Methodist confirmation class declines to become members over anti-LGBTQ policies


    “We have spent the year learning about our faith and clarifying our beliefs. Most of us started the confirmation year assuming that we would join the church at the end, but with the action of the general conference in February, we are disappointed about the direction the United Methodist denomination is heading,” they wrote.

    “We are concerned that if we join at this time, we will be sending a message that we approve of this decision.”

    “We want to be clear that, while we love our congregation, we believe that the United Methodist policies on LGBTQ+ clergy and same sex marriage are immoral,” they continued. “Depending on how this church responds to the general conference action, we will decide at a later time whether or not to become officially confirmed. But until then, we will continue to stand up against the unjust actions that the denomination is taking.”

    “We are not standing just for ourselves, we are standing for every single member of the LGBTQ+ community who is hurting right now, Because we were raised in this church, we believe that if we all stand together as a whole, we can make a difference.”

    Churches around the nation protested the anti-LGBTQ stance after the General Conference of the United Methodist Church voted to reaffirm their teaching that homosexuality is “incompatible” with Christianity and to punish individual churches that perform marriages for same-sex couples and allow LGBT clergy.

    The eight teenagers received a standing ovation from the congregation for their decision to stand up for Christian values in the face of systemic discrimination.

    In other words, they think someone adhering to what the Bible says is immoral but supporting an abomination is perfectly OK?

    I'd rather have less people in the fold that uphold God's word than those like these kids on the inside trying to tear it down.

    Where does the Bible say that churches should discriminate against homosexuals?

    Where does the Bible say homosexuality is OK? The Bible does teach that sin is wrong and that homosexuality is a sin. These Methodist idiots are trying to say it doesn't.

    Are you claiming driving a car is a sin?

    Now I’m using your logic, it must be a sin if the Bible does not say it’s OK.

    That's not my logic. That's some foolishness you came up with. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. Are you ashamed that you sin, faggot?

    These Nebraska teens won't be laughing when they're punished eternally for their support of what God says is sin. Neither will you.

    Many of them believe, like you, that black skin color was a qualification.
