AFRICAN DELEGATES OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH SAY “WE ARE DEVASTATED THAT THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH HAS VOTED TO ALLOW SODOMY/HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE AND THE ORDINATION OF HOMOSEXUALS

Daniel Whyte III says the Black and White churches that have remained separated because of pride and racism for hundreds of years will now be permanently split because of sodomy/homosexuality. Shame on the demonic-led United Methodist Church for allowing this abomination and sin to overtake their hearts and to do this sin in God’s sight with hell-bent determination!

A group of African delegates to the United Methodist Church General Conference have denounced the recent votes to allow for same-sex marriage and noncelibate LGBT clergy.

This week, delegates at the UMC General Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, passed a series of measures removing from the Book of Discipline rules preventing the officiating of same-sex weddings and the funding of LGBT advocacy groups.

On Thursday, the churchwide legislative gathering voted 523 to 161 to remove from the Book of Discipline the statement that the “practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching,” which had been originally added to the rule book in 1972.

Rob Renfroe, publisher of the theologically conservative Good News Magazine and attendee of the General Conference, forwarded The Christian Post a copy of Thursday’s statement from several African delegates.

“We have loved The United Methodist Church. We have been grateful for The United Methodist Church. We have joyfully served The United Methodist Church. But now our hearts are troubled,” read the statement.

“The United Methodist Church has changed the definition of marriage. It now defines marriage differently from what God created it to be in the beginning. It has changed the definition of marriage from how Jesus described it in Matthew 19 as one man and one woman.”

The delegates assert: “We do not believe we know better than Jesus. We do not believe we know better than God. We do not believe we know better than the Bible.”

“We are devastated now to be part of a denomination that officially contradicts the Bible’s teaching on marriage and sexual morality. We return to Africa with important decisions to make regarding the future,” they continued.

“Still, we go home full of hope, confident in Jesus, standing on the word of God, and determined to contend for the faith once and for all delivered to the saints. We return to Africa where the church is growing, nonbelievers are coming to faith and disciples are being made for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
