According to my Methodist coworker the entire Methodist church is currently schisming over gay people

I wonder what theology students a thousand years hence will think of this, will the 21st century be viewed as the century of the homo schisms? Will there be weird Latin jargon for it? Will it be seen as a weird, almost forgotten quirk like Arianism? Will Christianity be divided into two schismatic groups of pro- and anti- homo churches with each faction in communion among themselves? Are gays the next Filioque?

@sun @pwm @scathach i've seen a [limited] sample of christians that are frustrated the GOP et all have chosen to die on the "gay bad" hill when it's barely even a line item in the bible (and even those two sites are like, layers of proxy removed from jesus.)

my question is when are the thumpers going to enforce the rest of the word of christ. i don't see very much taking care of the poor and the sick. and people are definitely mixing fabrics against the decree of leveticus (the book where the stronger of the two anti-gay lines comes from.)

@sun @icedquinn @pwm @scathach tru.

There's this presybterian guy, i can't remember his name, makes really good church history videos. His gripe is that mainline protestant churches have become really liberal over time. So gay-affirming, pro-abortion etc. And as a result most people who care just become evangelicals.

On the one hand you have (jewish, whatever i know its cliche at ts point) liberals making the churches gay and muslim-friendly and gnostic and all this crap, and then once people leave they fall into the hands of extremely zionist evangelical megachurches.

Then in latin america, every "right winger" is actually just a pro-US pro-Israel evangelical zionist. And they specifically and trying to displace atheist left-wing governments. Colombia recently comes to mind.
