Has to be PCUSA-“Presbyterian Church, United States Apostate”
Hoss
Admin - can you change the title please from “Presbyterian” to “Presbyterian PCUSA”?
“...a Sunday sermon on the perils of genetically modified vegetables...”
And they wonder why they have lost members by the boatload.
They sound like Unitarians—of course all the leftist churches look alike to me. ;-)
This church sounds a lot like the Universal Unitarian strain of pseudo-Christianity.
Beat me by 12 seconds. I would of been first but I had trouble getting pseudo-Christianity spelled correectly!
A church so “relevant” that the sermons are about nothing. It sort of reminds me of a Lutheran (ELCA) church I visited some years ago. I had given up on that denomination but was visiting this town and this church was near my hotel so I went there for a Sunday service. It was okay - it seemed pretty traditional and normal, but like most such churches, it was mostly older people. Well, I recently looked up the church’s website. Just about every page was about LGBT this and LGBT that. There were pictures of the church building with huge rainbow flages draped on it. There was a banner that said they were a “welcoming” church. I thought, yeah, they wouldn’t be very “welcoming” to me. I felt sick that a church was reduced to that, but the seeds had been planted a long time ago.
I go to a pretty conservative PCUSA church now.
A church I used to go to was a quaint country church. Some associate pastor (degree from Rutgers) gave a sermon on how the virgin birth wasn’t real - just a story. “But stories can have even more meaning than reality!”
I asked him if the Resurrection was also “just a story”?
“Well of course it is! People don’t come back to life!!”
I asked him how he could have even passed his ordination as a pastor not believing in the resurrection of Christ. But it didn’t really matter as we wouldn’t be going there anymore and can you please take our names off the roll thank you very much.
And yet the Unitarians were mainline at least until the 60s - remember that Ike was a Unitarian. perhaps it seems that the Presbyterians and Episcopalians will go the same, sad way over the next few decades.
When I was living in England over a decade and a half ago, the Anglicans and others were already heavily “we are pro-gay”. So I stuck to Catholicism - if I could understand Coptic I would go to a Coptic Church
What I don’t get is why they still want to call themselves Christian. At least the Unitarians don’t do that anymore. If you don’t believe in the virgin birth and don’t believe in the resurrection that means you don’t believe Jesus was God.
So basically, the Unitarians are taking over all the Mainstream Protestant Churches. Sad..
I went to a Presbyterian church the weekend after 9-11-01 in Woodland hills,California. I went to pray for my country and my son who was going to war. I sat with my wife and youngest son and listened to the pastor speak. I thought I was hearing things when he went into a diatribe blaming Israel for the problems in the Middle East. Then when I was about to blow a gasket the pastor had invited an Imam to speak. I got up and told my family that we were leaving and the pastor came over to ask why. I told him that he was an apostate and that you cannot be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. I haven’t been back to a church since then. I’ve got my King James Bible and I’ve got Jesus. I’m good.
The thing is that Israel is not to blame for the problems in the Middle East
1. It occupies a small part of land
2. Yes, other people also claim that land, but EVERY land EVERYWHERE has multiple claimants.
3. Sharing the land has been rejected by the Muslims
4. Muslims are happy to fight each other.
Israel is not a perfect state - it has flaws, but it is not the root cause of all the problems in the ME.
National Council of Churches.
Again, the National Council of Churches. The only thing the ELCA and Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is the word Lutheran. The ELCA is a fake church.
Note that these humans, possessing the only brain capable of sophisticated mysticism, despite their professed atheism, agnosticism and “progressive” identities, seek out rituals and gatherings however bizarre to address their mystical needs. Good example of post Christianity, neo paganism in modern day America. These “Presbyterians” sacrifice non approved vegetables. Yet its a good bet that eventually they won’t be satisfied until they sacrifice something far more dear and tangible. Bottom line: a bloody civil war will soon come.
“...listening to a Sunday sermon on the perils of genetically modified vegetables...”
At that point, me and my tithing are outta there.
‘No one can serve two masters’
Apostate!
