[Presbyterian Reporter]

The PCUSA Presbyterians seem hell bent to embarrass themselves into oblivion.

[netmilsmom]

You know, the best thing to do is pray for them.

Father, Son and Holy Ghost," could also be called "Mother, Child and Womb."

From today's toons:

[tdewey10]

Just waiting for them to merge with the Unitarians and fully embrace "New Age-ism"

[vimto]

Mother, child and womb. Yer wot?!

To question 9/11 is foolish and stupid.

To wantonly blaspheme is to risk the fires of hell.

What do they think they are up to?

[weegee]

I walked away. Not from my faith but from that illict church. Pro-abort, pro-homosexual, anti-Israel, terrorist sympathizers.


My local church didn't espose such views but who wants to fund that?

If only the muslims who did not agree with their radical clerics also defunded them.

[Heartland Mom]

What does their church teach about bearing false witness? How can they publish crap like this that has been refuted in numerous venues - indeed, the terrorists even claimed responsibility.

[Gay State Conservative]

Looks like the Presbyterians are competing with the Unitarian/Universalists for members.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

They've lost their minds (and their way.)

[pissant]

They did that long ago. This is just icing.

[jbwbubba]

Some of the biggest left-wing loons, in America today, lead Churches.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I'm Presbyterian but this is NOT the church that I grew up in...

[Jeff Head]

Strong delusion.

In June [the Presbyterian Church (USA)] voted that ...the Trinity, described for centuries as "Father, Son and Holy Ghost," could also be called "Mother, Child and Womb."

Dammit, that's over the line.  It sez in the Bible itself, "there was no womb for them at the inn."  You know, folks, it's kind of like a McDonald's franchise.  You don't have to buy into it but if you do, you don't go messing around with the ingredients.

Certain critics question how the Presbyterians, one of the most staid denominations, became entangled in such theories

What would we do without certain critics?

[weegee]

Need a new Martin Luther to tack up a list of grievances.

[zook]

Won't belong before the "Casper, the Friendly Ghost" song becomes a Presbyterian hymn.

[Guenevere]

PCUSA = Apostate church

That's why/when the Presbyterian PCA was formed ....

...after leaving mainline Presbyterian over 30 years ago.

Presbyterian PCA is one of the fastest growing denominations in the nation.

[maxter]

Heard on local radio news in the last couple of days of a 3000 congregation PresbyUSA leaving that affiliation and joining up with PresbyEvangelical. ??

[Terabitten]

That's why/when the Presbyterian PCA was formed ....

Exactly. When the PCA church formed in 1972 (if memory served), most of the folks who were solid on doctrine went with it. PCUSA lurched way, way, WAY out to the left. Now, they're nothing but moonbats, and they're hemorhagging members.

[Terabitten]

Certain critics question how the Presbyterians, one of the most staid denominations, became entangled in such theories.

It's very simple, really. Back in the early 70s, many Presbyterians noticed their denomination starting to lose focus and ignore doctrine for the sake of politics. So, they left - and got back to the roots of Reformed theology. When the solid core left, the remnant became a shambles.
