A quarter of Methodist congregations in the U.S. are leaving the United Methodist Church as one of the country's largest Protestant denominations wrestles with issues of sexuality and gender identity.

There is no "wrestling with issues of sexuality and gender identity" but a bald-faced denial of the plain declaration of God's word. The God-hating-and-defying secular culture has penetrated so deeply into some churches, and conferences of churches, that half of them or more defy their holy Maker, embracing the wickedness of Sodom instead. It's Romans 1:18-32 in living color! God judgment of western cultures is well underway.

What's at issue?
Controversies have been brewing within the church for several decades, particularly those dealing with LGBTQ+ issues, Wilson said.

No, the issue is a church denomination well-corrupted by the "leaven" of sin and widespread, deep ignorance of God's nature and Truth.

Yes. Carnal humans , instead of repenting, instead of trying to do what is good and right,

instead of reading God's Word to do what God Says,

have sold their souls..... or at least just given up, caved in to accept sinfulness at the grossest and the highest levels.
