Woody Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 "In a special constituency meeting today the Columbia Union Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church voted overwhelmingly to authorize ordination without regard to gender. The vote was 209 (80%) in favor, 51 opposed, 9 abstained, and 2 blank. The motion reads as follows: "Motion: That the Columbia Union Conference authorize ordination to the gospel ministry without regard to gender." Edit: Special Anniversary I guess. From 6-29-12 Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olger Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I believe the words "Without regard to gender" are anticipating the inclusion of homosexuals in the near future. Canada recognizes 11 genders now. If we distribute ordination to all genders (which is what 'without regard to gender' means) we are obligated to ordain homosexuals.

olger Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Ya, I have questions! 1. Do you trust the church? 2. We have no homosexual male pastors, are you expecting them to be included also in your 'panic' scenario? 3. How do you leap from acceptance of women into leadership to acceptance of homosexuals into leadership? No. I trust the Word of God and the Lord of Whom it speaks. I believe that homosexual males will be ordained in the SDA church within the next five years. I say that without panic Sir. Wait for the article. blessings !
