Obey Almighty God (YHWH) or Do Not Call Yourself His Follower
 
Today many who claim to follow Almighty God (YHWH), and his Son, Jesus (Yeshua) Christ go their own way and have their own doctrines and creeds and not those of Almighty God (YHWH).   This includes most of the so called ministers of today.   Now let’s examine a specific circumstance and the Bible for answers.
 
SITUATION – INTRODUCTION:
 
U.S. pastor found guilty in church trial for performing son's gay marriage·                   [Reuters]  
·                    
By Dave Warner
SPRING CITY, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - A Pennsylvania pastor on trial by Methodist church officials for officiating at his son's 2007 same-sex marriage ceremony was found guilty on Monday of violating church law and being disobedient.
Reverend Frank Schaefer, pastor of the Zion United Methodist church in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, testified he had been conflicted about performing the ceremony, but chose to violate his denomination's teachings out of love for his child.
The verdict came after an all-day hearing at a church camp near Spring City, Pennsylvania, and was delivered by the jury of nine men and four women.
Alfred Gwinn, a retired bishop who presided at the hearing, said there were at least nine votes for a guilty verdict, as dictated by church law.
"I did not want to make this a protest about the doctrine of the church," Schaefer said at the opening of the trial. "I was ready to choose between my son and my career."
Schaefer's statement followed opening statements by a prosecutor and the defense before a presiding officer.
His trial is the first of its kind since 2012 when the church's governing body affirmed its stance that homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teachings, according to an article on an official Methodist blog.
But it is at least the eighth trial in the past 20 years of a member of the clergy accused of violating church law by performing a same-sex marriage or by acknowledging being gay, the blog report said.
The United Methodist Church has some 12 million members worldwide.
Testifying against the pastor was Jon Boger, a member of his congregation who had complained about the wedding to the church hierarchy.
"He kept it silent from the congregation. Nobody knew," Boger said. "It was a lie and a broken covenant."
Thirteen pastors are acting as the jury. Schaefer faces the possibility of reprimand, suspension or revocation of his ordination credentials if he is found guilty.
Outside the trial held in rural Pennsylvania, about 100 supporters were on hand to give Schaefer encouragement.
They unfurled a banner, several feet long, that read "We Are Open and Affirming" and had signs reading "Law or Love - Jesus Chose Love" and "Church trials are incompatible with Christian teaching."
"We oppose the homophobic position of the United Methodist denomination," said Reverend Hal Taussig of Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill United Church, which is affiliated with both the United Methodist and the United Church of Christ denominations.
Schaefer said he had informed a district church official that he officiated at the wedding that was held in Massachusetts, which in 2003 became the first U.S. state to permit gay marriage.
The jury will consider on Tuesday what penalty to levy against Schaefer for his role in the wedding of his son Tim and another man.

THE INSPIRED WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD (yhwh) WHAT IT IS:
 
The Bible is NOT the product of one committee or strongman. It has over 40 individual writers who wrote under divine inspiration/guidance putting the thoughts of Almighty God (YHWH) into the words of men much as transcribing secretaries today taking transcription and then later typing it out. In other words one real author, Almighty God (YHWH), and many scribes each of whom wrote in his own style over a period of approximately 1,600 years. All of what people call or consider inconsistencies are really not such, but most often just a problem of translation and/or understanding, i.e., lack of understanding of what the original writer writing in his own language and culture meant/said in his original writing. What is remarkable, is the writers over such a period of time all wrote in harmony when even most writers of today can not even stay on track or subject over a period of a few days and/or weeks at most with the original subject.  This fact of harmony over a period so great as to almost stagger the imagination shows that it had one guiding force or author who divinely inspired its writers when humans of their own volition can not keep on track over short periods of time.
 
 
To wit, the Bible is the ONLY book Almighty God (YHWH) ever inspired men to write as his scribes. In other words, God is its author and men only put his thoughts given to them by divine inspiration into their own words, the words of men. Not only that, all the other writers of later so called religious guidance books borrowed from it and made changes in accord with their strong man or so called prophet. Take the example of Joseph Smith who borrowed from it to write the Book of Mormon, but failed to give credit or source to the Bible and twisted some borrowed things into bizarre distortions. Other examples are of course the bizarre writings of David Koresh the Prophet of the Branch Dividians of Waco, Texas; and the Quran, and the Book of Wiccim.
 
THE CLERGY REALITY:
 
Many so called religious people are fooling themselves, it is not what either the Bible or the Bible knockoffs the Qur'an or the Book of Mormon actually say, but how religious leaders be they priest and/or imams or muftis or what ever teach the people is the interpretation of what is written either in the Bible or the bible knockoffs the Qur'an or the Book Of Mormon that matters and governs actions.   It matters not what the Bible and/or the Bible knockoffs really say.   People go by what they are taught by their religious leaders.   Take the genocide committed by the Roman Catholic Church at the direction of their supreme religious leader, the pope (Pope Innocent III), what mattered was not that the Bible clearly said at Exodus 20:13, "Thou shalt not kill." (Authorized King James Bible; AV), but what their religious leaders told them.   Therefore, it is the religion at fault, ‘irregardless’ of what their particular holy book, be it the Bible or the Bible knockoffs may say.   Neither in so called Christianity or in Islam are most individuals actions really governed in any way by what their particular holy book really says, but they are governed by the interpretation of their religious leaders and the understanding/feelings of individual members.   Thus, knowing this reality, one would be either just plain stupid and/or dumb to even bother looking at a particular religion's holy book and expect the members would conform to it.   Take the Rig Vede and find me for example a Hindu actually conforming to it instead of the interpretation given to it by his religious leaders, like looking for a needle in the haystack per K.S. Lal, India's greatest historian.
 
THE BIBLE ON SAME SEX SEXUAL RELATIONS:
 
GENESIS:
 
Genesis 2:21-22, “And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;   And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” [AV]
 
AND,
 
Genesis 3:20, “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” [AV]
 
In both cases, Adam’s wife was spoken of in the feminine case, not the masculine case; to wit, Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.   So originally Almighty God (yhwh) clearly showed that a wife of a man should be a women and NOT another man.
 
LEVITICUS:
 
Leviticus 18:22-24,  “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.  Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:” [AV]
 
 
THE NEW TESTAMENT – SPECIFIC SCRIPTURES ON THE SUBJECT:
 
1 Corinthians 6:9, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,” [AV]
 
Galatians 5:19, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,” [AV]
 
Romans 1:19-29, “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,” [AV]
 
Jude 7, “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” [AV]
 
CONCLUSION:
 
Let’s face it, you are either all the way with the Creator, Almighty God (YHWH), the only true God, or you are against him if you support things shown in his written word, the Inspired Bible he provided for our guidance, to be against his will.  This is clearly shown now that some support open wrong clearly abhorrent to the Creator of male with male and female with female sexual activity or of support for false gods such as Satan, Lord Vishnu, Shiva, Allah, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Pluto, Hera, Baldur, etc. and goddesses such as al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat.
 
The Methodist Church showed its true colors when their bishops could NOT even vote unanimously with respect a clear violation of Almighty God’s inspired word the Bible.  Reverend Frank Schaefer, pastor of the Zion United Methodist church in Lebanon, Pennsylvania instead of becoming a part of his son’s violation of Almighty God’s should have counseled his son and brought him back into compliance with the righteous requirements of Almighty God (yhwh) as expressed in the Bible.
