May God forgive them, I do not blieve that they know what they are doing. Doesn't the Bible mean anything anymore? You cannot pick and chose what you are going to believe.
That combined with this!

Presbyterians Think Of Changing 'Father, Son, Holy Spirit'

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The divine Trinity -- "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" -- could also be known as "Mother, Child and Womb" or "Rock, Redeemer, Friend" at some Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) services under an action Monday by the church's national assembly.
Delegates to the meeting voted to "receive" a policy paper on gender-inclusive language for the Trinity, a step short of approving it. That means church officials can propose experimental liturgies with alternative phrasings for the Trinity, but congregations won't be required to use them.
"This does not alter the church's theological position, but provides an educational resource to enhance the spiritual life of our membership," legislative committee chair Nancy Olthoff, an Iowa laywoman, said during Monday's debate on the Trinity.
The assembly narrowly defeated a conservative bid to refer the paper back for further study.
“And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. - Revelation
There go those wascaly Presbyterians (of the PCUSA) again!
Can anybody confirm for this Catholic that today's Presbyterian Church has any such values?
I left the PC USA and went to the PCA many years ago. PC USA is a denomination that has gone from decline to freefall.
Why do they even bother to call themselves "Christian?" They are far, far removed from true Christianity. They sound more like Unitarians.
Like what? That they can walk and chew gum at the same time?
Political correctness and immediate sexual gratification?
Not good!
57 to 43? Didn't know the Spirit of God was that divided.
And they've opened the front door to Satan.
Presbyterian church opens back door to gay clergy
Funny. I always thought that any Christian church would look to the Holy Bible as a basis for its core values. Does this mean a Presbyterian Church can now ignore whatever parts of the Bible that it finds inconvenient with a lifestyle of sin? What's next? The six commandments?
Isn't is contrary to the Bible to seek spiritual leadership from those who openly flaunt their sins?
Leviticus 20:13 (New International Version)
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
1 Corinthians 6:9 (New International Version)
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
1 Timothy 1:10 (New International Version)
for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
How can you be a practicing Homosexual and be true to any Churches values.? have they never heard of adultery? Of Sodomy.
Dam its hard to be in a religion these days.
John Knox is spinning in his grave...
There seems to be a race to Perdition, between your church and my former one.
The Episcopals are leading by a mere nose.
