I just came across this.
Can't imagine why they are doing this.

Also from the article:
“Here’s what I find most telling about this vote: While 54% of the American public supports gay marriage, 76% of the PCUSA does. It seems that the PCUSA is more pro-same sex marriage than the American public ... by 22%,” Bethancourt wrote on his blog

Now comes the question, how do you define “people”?

They have been off the rails for quite a while. Even looking the other way when their pastors commit adultery. They are losing many of their church affiliates in the process. The First Presbytarian church in Yakima, WA just went through the process of disassociating with them. They posted about this at their website. Interesting to read through it.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on Friday voted to sell church stock in three Israeli companies to protest the treatment of “Palestinians” by Israel.

Looks like the Presbyterian Church has essentially sealed it’s impending demise... and quite frankly I welcome it. This idiotic decision is only going to lead to even more longtime members leaving the already long-dying denomination. And it’s not like a bunch of gays and leftists are going to join the church and replace them.

At least they limited it to two people, as opposed to 5, to include 1 dog, 2 cats and 3% of their cattle.

When you decide you've outgrown all that old Biblical crap, why, anything is possible.

Their rebellion against God is now exposed and undeniable. This is good news for those who love God above family, friends, and fond memories.
The descent into depravity is a chastisement which our loving God uses to turn us back to Him. Many will stiffen up in stubborn rebellion - just as many have always done. But they can no longer claim they're serving God, nor can they use such a false claim to lure the ignorant into sharing their condemnation.
Many will now see that claiming to serve God while following mere men is a lie. And my hope is that those who seek to know what God desires for them will now, having see where manmade religion leads, turn instead to the Scriptures.
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
- II Timothy 3:16-17

Better to know this about one’s church and high tail it out of the lion’s den if one is a REAL Christian. How can this denomination think homosexuality is okay with God? or does it not matter to them what God says?
