“There is therefore no place in the life of the Church for discrimination against any person.”

Unless, that is the person who wishes to be ordained, but does not agree with affirming trans people.

Those churches ⛪️ that embrace alphabet mafia mumbo jumbo are heretics.

“The unity of believers in Christ is reflected in the rich diversity of the Church’s membership. In Christ, by the power of the Spirit, God unites persons through baptism, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, sex, [gender identity, sexual orientation,] disability, geography, or theological conviction.

Huh?!

So I can profess a belief in the eventual victory of Satan over God, and still become a "member in good standing?!"

Regards,

The PCUSA is predestined to go to hell.

Go woke, go broke.

Our former church (PCUSA) was on the conservative side of things, and many of the members were. But then the pastor started preaching about George Floyd and BLM. We got tired of hearing how racist we were because we are white.

I still am on their email list. A few weeks ago was an email asking for folks to increase their donations and a special church meeting about it.

Sad, as it was a great church, and does numerous great things for the community that brings glory to God.

I grew up in a Presbyterian church. I currently attend a Presbyterian Church in America church which began as a breakaway denomination from PCUSA in 1973 so hardly a new thing. The writing was obviously on the wall even back then. Currently our pastor is going through the book of Romans and chapter one covers the alphabet people and the sermon on that certainly wasn’t affirming of their sin. He’d be booted out if he was among the PCUSA but as the Eagles sang we’re already gone.

PCUSA can rot.

Yikes!

Last Sunday we attended a Presbyterian church for the first time, and liked it a lot. But it is PCA, not PCUSA. I did a lot of research and there’s a HUGE difference.

It seems that PCUSA is much larger, and they’re sure giving the conservative PCA a bad name for people who don’t understand there’s a difference.

I have a lot of questions for the pastor, though, before we make a decision to attend regularly.

Compelled Speech.

Against the Constitution and the Laws of God.

PCA Presbyterian congregations are worlds apart from them. So far, that they are not the same denomination. At all.

Of course. Can’t be a member of their clergy if you don’t believe in their religion.

How about Drag Queens stripping in place of Sunday Morning sermons?

If they don’t allow that it means they’re haters. Right?

And Sunday school can teach kids to think about their ‘real’ gender... Sterilize and sexually mutilate some of the young ones. Fun Fun Fun. More proof they’re ‘with it’ and cool and part of the ‘elite’.

Isn’t that what Christianity is all about after all? Go for it...
