[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, if I'm driving by a church or looking on a website, what do I look for to tell me they are okay with LGBTQ?

Is United Methodist Church the one going conservative, or going progressive?

It’s the one that is exhibiting God’s command to love ALL people. Yes, they are affirming of LQBTQ as we should all be. [/quote]

NP. Are you asserting that Christians that oppose same sex marriage because they interpret the Bible's passages on marriage and homosexuality differently than you are violating God's command to love all people? Seems like a pretty bold statement considering that the "progressive" stance is not the norm globally and was a minority stance even in the US and Europe less than 20 years ago.[/quote]

I'm a different poster, but I agree with this poster.  Just because many churches have embraced homophobia over the centuries doesn't make it God's will.  [/quote]

I would love to believe this but I can’t find any (not one) passage on the Bible that defines marriage as anything other than one woman joining in union with one man.
A man shall leave his parents and cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.
In the Bible, this is marriage.

To pretend otherwise is just imposing your own definition and making it something it just….isn’t.[/quote]
