My Response - Should the Methodist Church Accept Gay People?

  • It never ceases to amaze me how the "faithful" know so much of the scripture they profess to believe in and, seemingly, understand so little of what they claim to know.  It would seem the Christian agenda is to interpret the Bible as they see fit in order to meet their criteria for salvation.  So serious is the church to maintain control over the "faithful" they actually have trials to pass judgement over those accused of the interpreted sin.  Funny, I thought only the Roman Catholic Church were allowed "by God" to interpret scripture but, hang on, here come the Protestants thinking they can do the same, against their own beliefs, and equally guilty of interpreting what the Almighty really means to say.  I'm sorry; I thought God was perfect and not prone to saying what things without clarity.  Shows how much I know.
