Presbyterian assembly: Gay marriage is Christian
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 6/19/14 | Jeff Karoub

DETROIT — The top legislative body of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has taken major steps toward recognizing gay marriage.

The General Assembly voted Thursday in favor of redefining Christian marriage in the church constitution as the union of "two people," not just "a man and a woman." The redefinition will take effect only if most of the 172 regional Presbyteries approve it in voting over the next year.

Marriage has gone from God’s blessing to none of God’s business.

Two and a half millions members in 2000. In 2014, there are 1.9 million members. That says it all.

The national assembly has tried sell this bill of goods before only to be stymied by the real people of God. We will see if they finally prevail this time. If so, expect a massive realignment of Presbies akin to that of the Lutherans and episkies.

I got news for Presbyterians or anyone else who think that they can willfully redefine scripture....and it's not pretty.

Revelation 22: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

8 But even if we (or an angel from heaven) should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be condemned to hell! Galatians 1:8


If we know anybody still in PCUSA we need to help convince them to get OUT of that hell-bound outfit ... ASAP!

As if this so-called “church” wasn’t already anti-Christian enough.............with all its anti-semitism krap.......

Genesis 12:1 “Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you;
2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;
3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

now it is preaching “gay marriage” !?????

Romans 1: 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

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

27 And 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.

Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.


Year in and year out, PCUSA preaches directly against God’s Word....... I wonder if the US Trademark Office can be convinced to “revoke” its legal right to call itself a ‘church?”

Actually Detroit is kind of an odd place for it. Detroit is anything but gay friendly. When city council president Charles Pugh was accused of an “inappropriate relationship” with a male high school student, Pugh fled town. It was just a month or so ago when a bunch of Detroit ministers issued a statement opposing gay marriage.

For gay friendly, look to Ann Arbor or Kalamazoo.

You've got it backwards. The state loves anything degenerate and anti Christian, therefore PCUSA will be just great, probably become a role model.

Christian churches will have their trademarks revoked. Then their tax exempt status. Then zoning permits tightened. etc. etc.

Eventually we will have state approved and speech monitored "church".

"PCUSA" What a great name for a state approved church!

Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

That’s Jesus discussing marriage and divorce. Clearly this Religion redefining marriage is not Christian since they ignored the Bible and let what’s popular with sinners to define marriage
