The one true thing the old Southern Presbyterian Church, the PCUS, brought to the PCUSA was a profound belief in the Scriptures and a trust in the Scripture alone, and although it took forty-two years for the Progressives to erode the conviction and belief in the Bible as the authoritative Word of God, they have finally succeeded and the Church I have loved has become a social institution dedicated to listening to the desires of the unrepentant rather than serving the purposes of Jesus. The Presbyterian Church USA no longer has a foundation based on a true belief and acceptance of the Bible as the rule and guide to faith. Thus the church has become rudderless and will be blown by the winds of time and desire a simple civic club dedicated to the cause of the day. I am soul sad because the church which was trying to be good and honorable, to accept and love the lost, has forgotten the role repentance and remorse has to play, balance has been lost and never again will the PCUSA be able to proclaim a true witness to Biblical integrity. A void has been created, values have been swept away, honor has been lost and lives will never be the same.
Time to leave, for the honor and glory of God. He will bless.
The PCUSA has had abortion coverage in their clergy health insurance since the 1970’s — knowingly and deliberately, not by accident or oversight. Their apostasy is not new.
Paraphrasing Psalm 146;
Put not your faith in man made institutions,
Happy is he... whose hope is in the LORD his God.
May God Bless this man as he seeks to do God’s will, not PCUSA’s.
I ache that some PCUSA members are “soul sad for their church”.
That said, each member of the local parish must certainly realize that their identified ^church^ cannot be identified as “my church”.
The PCUSA is wholly owned by the culture and the politically correct requirements that come along with such a capitulation.
Enjoy your heterodoxy.
Those few who continue to attend the PCUSA think this slide into secular collectivism is great. Those who read their Bibles left decades ago.
“PC”USA...
Sometimes you just have to give the Creator kudos for a sense of irony and humor.
How are you guys even still part of PCUSA after it proclaimed the Holy Land was not Isreal but instead South Africa? After that I knew PCUSA was no longer a church organization but a political anti-semite organization who put Palestinkians over the chosen people. PCUSA is no better than the money-grubbing World Harvest Church and their ilk.
My advice is if your church belongs to PCUSA , break away now. If they don’t leave that church because the next thing you will know is that they will be saying is Islam is a ROP and can I have ten bucks please (no really give us a hundred!)
That’s one of the things that are wrong with organized religion...Far too much emphasis on the church (religion) than on God...
Get out from under the bondage of organized religion...Get a bible and a building and start serving God...
