Turn out the lights, another one bites the dust.

Glad we left last year.

Didn’t this already happen a couple years ago??

"The world has become a more tolerant and accepting place," Wind said.

So much for that being in the world and not of the world thing.

What could be more useless than sex obsessed clergy?

It is sad, pathetic really. But I believe the presbies need ratification from the congregations, unlike the piskies or lut'erans.

Maybe there is still hope.

[patriot preacher]

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first....” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3a)

Just another symptom of the “falling away.” Next on the agenda, the “man of sin” [aka- AntiChrist] will be revealed... (vs. 3b)

Thankfully, I’m not planning on hanging around for that one :-D

Somebody once tried to tell me that “America is a Christian nation.” It still makes me chuckle.

Romans 1:26-27 (King James Version)

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Stick a fork in them, their done.

Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)

[WorkingClassFilth]

Another apostate cesspool.

If any believers actually are in the PCUSA, you have been in denial so far. Leave now - there is NO reason to stay.

Pretty amazing. Much better if they would just call themselves something else. Real Christians neither practice same sex acts nor approve of them. Better to be an out and out atheist than a fake believer in God.

If D. James Kennedy were still around, I wonder what he would have to say...

There was a time when the Presbyterians were generally one of the more “conservative” denominations.

This direction seems to be pervasive among religions and denominations. For many Jewish, Christian, and Muslim believers homosexuality is not laudatory. Instead it finds its place among the myriad sins entrapping each person who lives in a fallen world, and struggles with a fallen nature.

For them reasonable scholarship must conclude followers of the desert religions cannot accept homosexual relationships. The Old Testament, holy to “People of the Book”, speaks of the character, identity, and purpose of God in a manner, which continuously addresses the issue of homosexual behavior. He is spoken of as masculine, and all humans become feminine in relation to Him. The scriptures say that in addition to creating all things, God created the single institution of heterosexual marriage. Marriage between a man and woman presents the earthy manifestation of the spiritual relationship He seeks with all human beings. Therefore, pursuing other human sexual relationships becomes a rejection of God.

The Christian faith contains the additional revelation of humans as the Bride of Christ. To restore relationship lost in Eden, God sent Christ to die for all human sins, but people must repent of all their sins. To pursue sexual sin including fornication, adultery, or homosexual behavior is to reject His identity and His character, and therefore repudiate His gift of salvation renewing relationship.

Classical theology emphasizes relationship, and searching for God in the spiritual dimension. Modern revisionism emphasizes godly models found in the scriptures for patterns of actions, which then amalgam with human philosophies. This amalgam allows parishioners to find comfortable surroundings within a fallen physical dimension and never tread upon ground where Job and Moses confronted the living God.

There are huge numbers of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim believers for whom any arguments from the scriptures must move forward from the understanding faith is all about the person of God and not the pattern of god.

So-called “mainline” protestantism seriously broken, and it will not pull out with Divine intervention. God did not intervene for the congregationistic groups that became unitarian who have morphed into wiccan-gaian-deism.

In other words, their light was removed and not restored.

[Sans-Culotte]

I've always said that homosexuality is no worse a sin than any other; that all sin is repugnant to God. But in a way, homosexuality is much worse. It is an evangelizing sin that seeks converts even among believers. They have essentially destroyed the PC USA denomination.

I think part of this problem is due to members who have homosexual children, relatives and friends. They don't want to see them as unrepentant sinners, and mistakenly feel they can "change the rules" in order for those folks to be saved. Sad. They are just drowning with them now.
