Presbyterian Church Warnings
Presbyterian Church USA ^ | 1/17/2021 | Presbyterian Church USA

Posted on 01/17/2021 7:22:12 AM PST by grayboots

Siblings in Christ, We live in turbulent times. Every day we see and hear about violence directed at individuals or groups because of their religious beliefs, political views or social justice initiatives. As we celebrate the life and ministry of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and prepare for the inauguration of a new president over the weekend and into next week, we are hearing of possible threats against some “liberal” churches. While we can’t speak to any specific threats against churches in the PC(USA), there are concerns that extremists may target some churches both Sunday, January 17, and Wednesday, January 20. We do not want to alarm or overreact, but we do encourage you to be vigilant in caring for the well-being of your congregants and minsters and continue to encourage churches to worship virtually as you have since the pandemic began last March. If your congregation is meeting in person for worship, please ensure that someone is monitoring all entrances and exits. Gracious God, we pray for non-violence during this time and for the safety of all of Your children now and forevermore. Amen.

Jeez... EVERYBODY WANTS VICTIM STATUS, even these leftist pretend-Christians. It wouldn’t surprise me if they perpetuated HOAX “hate crimes”.

This is disgusting. NO ONE is "targeting" liberal churches.

So they admit they are leftists and partisans, not Christians.

This “church” can’t be broken more than it has been broken.

PC-USA has totally sold out to Satan, long ago.

They are nothing but a mouthpiece for the World.

If a lefty* is gonna do something bad to our PCUSA Presby church, they’re gonna have to do it via Zoom as our church only meets by Zoom.

(”lefty*”....ha ha just joking. I know this missive from the PCUSSR is only concerned about attacks from Conservative, right-wing, white supremacist, anti-abortion, anti-gay, Mother Gaia-hating, Trump-loving heathens.)

The words “liberal churchs” is really just code words for NON BIBLE BELIEVING heretics selling a false Gospel I fear.

The liberal establishment has little use for liberal Protestantism. Fifty years ago, the mainline churches provided an important patina of religious sentiment for liberal, socialistic policies. However, liberals, like most Protestants, have two sacraments: money and votes. Memberships in denominations like the PCUSA have shrunk to near oblivion. The Left of the 2020s has discarded any pretensions of needing a Christian flavor.

"What is it they feel guilty over having done?"

Being anti-American communists.

Implying that it’s the right, or conservatives who are making the threats.

I call BS on this.

Any threats are from the left to discredit the right.

They could have said, “brothers and sisters,” but that would exclude people who are neither one or people who don’t know which, if either, they are.

The PC USA went over to the dark side many years ago.
