The United Methodist Church has not officially denounced Israel as a whole. However, the church has expressed concerns about aspects of Israel's policies and actions, particularly related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The church has called for peace, justice, and human rights for all parties involved.

Disputes within a United Methodist congregation are typically resolved through a process of mediation and consultation within the church. This may involve meetings with the parties involved, the pastor, and other church leaders to discuss the issue and seek resolution. If necessary, a formal complaint process may be initiated, ultimately leading to a decision by the church's administrative body or the intervention of the district superintendent. The aim is to find a peaceful resolution that aligns with the teachings and values of the United Methodist Church.

In Sikhism, we refer to our holy book as the 11th 'Guru.' So the name we have given it is the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Guru means teacher, and Ji is a sign of respect.

He was forcibly removed from praying at the altar rail of his former place of worship.

John Wesley entered Christ Church College, Oxford in 1720 and received his Master of Arts in 1727.

Original Sin is our state after the Fall, although we are all victims of Original Sin, there is no such thing as Natural Humanity because of Prevenient Grace, which is the work of the Holy Spirit that gives us the gracious ability to be able to choose between good and evil. According to Wesley, salvation from original sin begins with justification, the actual turn towards God. Justification restores us to God's favor, removes the guilt of sin, through the work of Christ on the cross and our acceptance of this. We are regenerated from sinners to saints, we are restored to God's image. This is also known as the Forgiveness and the New Birth. Sanctification is the continuation of Regeneration, this is the life long process of growing in grace and in Christian perfection. We can still sin after becoming a believer, sin remains but no longer reigns.

Southern Methodist University's motto is 'Veritas Liberabit Vos'.

John Wesley is buried in Concordia Cemetery, El Paso, TX.

One should be a member of a church if they feel that that specific church is the true church. While most churches have services and activities open to the public, they also offer special opportunities for those who are official members. Being a member will make you a part of the church family - if you have hard times the congregation should care for you by visiting, providing meals, etc. In turn you will be expected to help other members of the congregation.

Though they are both Christian, Pentecostal is almost on the other spectrum of Christianity. Pentecostals believe in the baptismal of the Holy Ghost and in prophecy and healing. Pentecostals also are against drinking and divorce. Pentecostals support an intimate time of worship. Some branches of the pentecostal denomination also believe in no jewelry or makeup.

PEOPLE PRAY WITH WORDS. WITHOUT WORDS THERE CAN NOT BE PRAYER. PEOPLE SOMETIMES HOLD SPECIFIC OBJECTS WHILE THEY PRAY, FOR REASONS OF COMFORT MOSTLY. THIS IS POPULAR IN THE CATHOLIC RELIGION. SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THESE OBJECTS ARE BLESSED AND CONTAIN CERTAIN POWERS. THE TRUTH IS IT WAS THE WORD THAT CAUSED THE BLESSING, AND THE BLESSING OR POWER IS RECEIVED BY FAITH IN THE WORD. IF YOU TRULY HAVE FAITH IN THE WORD THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY OBJECTS. THERE IS NOT ANYTHING NEEDED FOR ANYONE TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO GOD EXCEPT THE WORD. ANYONE WHO CAN THINK OR SPEAK THE WORD CAN TALK TO GOD. TALKING TO GOD IS WHAT PRAYER IS. THIS BLESSING OF OBJECTS IS DONE TO HELP THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR NOTHING BUT THE WORD, AND TO HELP INCREASE THEIR FAITH. DO NOT MISTAKE ME FOR SAYING THOSE WHO USE OBJECTS ARE NECESSARILY WRONG. WHAT MATTERS MOST IS THE CONDITION OF THE HEART IN THE ONE WHO IS PRAYING. IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE READING, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED ALREADY, AND THERE WAS NO OBJECT NEEDED. THE WORD IS ALL YOU NEED, AND THE WORD IS GOD. JESUS IS THE WORD THAT BECAME FLESH, BECAUSE MAN DID NOT UNDERSTAND GOD. THIS IS WHY HE CAME AND SHOWED HIS SELF TO MAN. HE SAID THAT HE WAS THE WORD, AND WE WERE MADE IN HIS IMAGE. HE CAME TO SHOW MAN TO HIMSELF, AND TO SHOW GOD TO MAN.

He killed 42 people and killed his first man at 15 years of age.

Officially, the United Methodist church requires faithfulness in marriage and chastity in singlehood. Under this rule, homosexuals may not marry or serve as clergy in the United Methodist church. However, these policies are the subject of ongoing discussions within the church and could change. In the meantime, homosexuals may become members, serve on committees as lay people, etc.
