While tens of thousands of members of the Christian church in Muslim countries are subjugated, oppressed and slaughtered in the religiously mandated jihad, the Presbyterian Church has taken punitive action against …… the Jews. In a move echoing the Kristallnacht boycott of the Jews in Germany, The Presbyterian Church (USA) voted on Friday by 310 to 303 at its general convention to divest from Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola, which supply Israel with equipment used in the territories. The only thing missing from the meeting were the giant red flags with swastikas and stiff-arm salutes.
The Presbyterian church has long suffered the sickness of antisemitism. Now they have found a way to punish the Jews and please their jihad masters.
This is nothing new.
After centuries of Islamic persecution the psychological knee-jerk response to Islamic demands is submission. Mar Drurie explains in The Third Choice, “One of the most profound and least-understood manifestations of rejection in human history is the Islamic institution of the dhimma, the theologically-driven political, social, and legal system, imposed by Islamic law upon non-Muslims as an alternative to Islam (i.e. conversion) or the sword (i.e. death or captivity). The dhimma is the ‘third choice’ offered to non-Muslims under jihad conditions, and those who have accepted it are known as dhimmis. Their condition, dhimmitude, forms the subject of this book, which describes the challenge posed by Islam’s treatment of non-Muslims, exposes the spiritual roots of this challenge, and offers a solution…”
Presbyterians Vote to Divest Holdings to Pressure Israel – Laurie Goodstein, NY Times The Presbyterian Church (USA) voted on Friday by 310 to 303 at its general convention to divest from Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola that supply Israel with equipment used in the territories. The measure also reaffirmed Israel’s right to exist and endorsed a two-state solution. (New York Times) See also Israeli Leader Criticizes Presbyterian Divestment Decision – Yousur Alhlou Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday criticized the decision by the Presbyter ian Church (USA) to divest from U.S. companies that operate in the West Bank, saying the vote was misguided and unfair. “When the Middle East is fragmented in this horrible war, this savage, savage war between militant Shiites and militant Sunnis…the only place where you have freedom, tolerance, protection of minorities, protection of gays, protection of Christians and all other faiths is Israel,” said Netanyahu. “Let’s arrange a bus tour for (Presbyterians) in the region. Let them go to maybe Syria, Lebanon, Iraq. And my only suggestion for them…it be in an armor-plated bus, and…they shouldn’t announce that they’re Christians.” (AP)
They’ve also changed their constitution to redefine marriage as “two people”. I think it’s safe to say that God has left the building.
It’s worse than that, Pam. They hate God. They hate His Truth. They hate His followers. They hate themselves.
only two people? why not six guys and a goat?
“why not six guys and a goat?”
These things take time. Be patient.
ok, but our goat is wondering what’s taking the PCUSA so damned long!>>>>???????????
This “church” has become a house of whores. It deserves to die on the vine — and it will.
I’d tell them to go to hell, but they’ve already got their tickets punched.
lol, literally
thanks
Well that’s the thing. If anyone is allowed to redefine marriage to suit their whims, I should be able to marry my house plant. And how do you define “people”, anyway? Words like “marriage” should have some absolute meaning, or we might as well bark like dogs instead of talk.
The Mainstream Christian Churches - Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians and ECLA have been hijacked by the homosexuals and Islamophiles
ha!
any so-called “church” that’s as screwed up as PCUSA will have no trouble at all letting you marry your house plant
(unless Bucky our goat gets to it first)
ps: we hope you’re not “into” carnivorous plants...
ouch!)
Then they now join the ranks of the other major group of reprobate Protestant heretics - the Anglicans, aka “Episcopalians.” This is what adherence to “situational ethics” begets you - separation from God, and a divorce from reason.
You would think a lot of congregations will soon be leaving. But who knows?
... but, .. .but... it’s named “Venus”...
wasn’t she like a sex goddess or something?
She isn’t called a Venus “fly trap” .... Without a reason....
Matrimony - from whence derives the word Marriage (from the Latin “matrimonium”) - is a composite of two Latin words: mater, meaning Mother, and monium, meaning a state or condition ... Literally translated, matrimony (and so its derivative - marriage) is “Office of the Mother” ... Thus, Marriage, by definition entails the sacred and indissoluble union of one man and one woman. It cannot be constituted in any other form and still be considered “marriage.”
By the very fact that homosexual acts are non-life affirming, sterile selfish acts of mutual friction, the homosexual cannot ever be in a state of motherhood. The same verdict holds true whether the homosexual individual is a man or a woman (lesbian), because two lesbians cannot in of themselves conceive new life. The too only engage in non-life affirming, sterile and selfish acts of mutual friction for the sake of pleasure. The truth is that homosexuality distills to hedonism in its most vulgar and dehumanizing form.
Did the Episcopalians leave the Anglican “church,” once its leadership openly accepted homosexuality as “normal” - and then followed up on that error by ordaining openly homosexual clergy? These people are being conditioned to disengage from rational thought ... To paraphrase the Scriptures: “Refusing the truth, God handed them over to darkened intellects.” That really says it all about today’s “enlightened” fools.
The 310-303 vote shows they are really divided on that issue, not “united” as the headlines suggested afterward.
yuck ping...
Not all of them. I am a Presbyterian but have absolutely no ties to the "Presbyterian Church USA" which this article is about. Back in the late 60's, real Christians in the Presbyterian church USA (PCUSA) realized where the denomination was headed and so they withdrew and formed the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) which adheres to Biblical scripture.
So please do not lump all Presbyterians into the "heresy" category, as I see some of you are so quick to do. The PCA is a very different church and absolutely does support Israel and does not tolerate the defiling of the definition of marriage from “a man and a woman”.
