I am not sure about 'most of the largest denominations', Russ.
UPC a bit, but hardly all. Episcopalean really is at the forefront with United Methodist right behind. And then a few odd Lutheran branches. There is an odd baptist chuch or two that qualifies. Most any church with the word 'Unit' in it... United, Unity, whatever. Oh yeah United Church of Christ on that list too. A bit eery eh, united... what else fits that?
for the main part though, the Baptist churches strongly oppose those teachings, strongly oppose, likewise most evangelical and even non-denominational churches.
It's really just the Epicopal church, united methodist, ucc, and Lutheran leading with a few odd UPC and others. Sooo many people have left those churches over this issue, I have heard plenty of people complain about it, the 'schism' they call it, just like when the protestant churches separated from the catholic church..
an odd catholic church here and there too promoting those beliefs, empty pews Russ, a lot of empty pews.
For what it's worth i'd be real wary about drawing a line in the sand with the catholic church over these issues. They have actually been one of the most vocal churches against it ((teaching evolution instead of creation, same sex marriage). And as big as they are, all over the world representing so many many people, I think you might want them on your side with this one.
I can't say i agree with all their doctrine but they stand real strong on basic moral issues and can be quite an ally in that area.
i disagree strongly with their eucamenical teachings though, which, as strongly as they oppose certain teachings, will most likely result in the acceptance of them if they continue.
we'll see I guess. Bex says there's a lot of something down under. But officially, they do not support it.
I wasn't real impressed with some of videos on that list in the post just up one from mine here btw... I mean, there is a lot of great info in all of them but I also noticed a good amount of conjecture here and there that someone who doesn't have the facts already straight about certain things might get taken in by or basically even drop a few of them in disgust at that point because it's obvious conjecture, which derails the whole video(s). Some of them need to be cleaned up a bit.
conjecture kind of really bothers me. If they aren't sure they should say so rather than try to make everything appear as if it's fact. kind of the same problem we've got with evolution.
But againn, a lot of great info in all of them.
someone was just telling several weeks ago about the united pentecostals, there aren't many of those churches around so i don't know if you've run into one or not, i never have but I know they're out there... but anyway I was told, they've required their women to dress in long dark dresses sort of amish style, and they have decided that Jesus is not really the son of God, he's just a guy, a prophet i guess. You could look it up, I am sure there's more but i was told something to that effect. i haven't researched it myself though I should.
we are pretty lucky to have a really strong church here in the middle of nowhere almost... some lack of worldly influences, old families, old beliefs. It's a baptist church. we're not really baptist, i love this preacher though, he's super. the other baptist church nearby, same thing pretty much. Big baptist area. They'd burn down the school house here if they tried to teach certain things there, really they would.
