United Church of Christ, Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterians OK Abortion Funding

The groups say their position is that there is a "social and moral obligation to ensure access to" abortions "at every stage in an individual’s life."

And in so doing the signers disavow any pretense of being Christians.

They are not, in fact Christians, and no one is fooled by their pretense.

If these pukes think abortion can make someone else's life better best they try it on themselves ~ where they play the part of the unborn baby.

I'd pay good money to see that happen!

It is shocking how anxious these people are to disavow Christianity.

No basis or foundation for this in the Christian tradition.
Pure heresy.

Please note that the United Church of Christ is a distinct entity from the Church of Christ; the latter is part of the Restoration Movement which includes the Christian Church and Disciples of Christ denominations.

“Reforming the health care system in a way that guarantees affordable and accessible [abortion] for all is not simply a good idea—it is necessary for the well-being of all people in our nation,” the religious groups wrote.

Why is the word “abortion” in parentheses in this quote? is this an accurate quote or was something replaced for effect?

NOT the Presbyterian Church in America. I just want that clearly known.

A strong, sick delusion, which makes an absolute mockery of true Christianity.

And they wonder why they are losing membership.

Get a clue, you have lost your way.

And people ask me why many years ago I ceased to follow any “organized” religion.

“for that day [of the Lord] shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin [Antichrist] be revealed, the son of perdition” (2 Thessalonians 2:3).

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Thank you for making that distinction. There is a huge difference in the two.

“Please note that the United Church of Christ is a distinct entity from the Church of Christ; the latter is part of the Restoration Movement which includes the Christian Church and Disciples of Christ denominations.”

Thank you. I am a Church of Christ member, and they are the most conservative Christians I have ever met in my life.

I am well aware that many Protestant denominations do not support this and that many members of the denominations that did do not support this.

The signers align themselves with King Herod.

This will be a very special Christmas.

These churches produce bad fruits.

The groups say their position is that there is a "social and moral obligation to ensure access to" abortions "at every stage in an individual’s life."

A group cannot condone murder of the unborn and remain Christian. These groups are made up of heretics without a leader. They are outside of civilized society and will bring the wrath of God upon us all with their twisted and demented interpretation of the Commandment that says "Thou shalt not kill."

The only group that speaks for the United Methodist Church is the General Conference, which meets every four years. It has not supported this action.

The article doesn’t say, but my guess is that it’s the General Board on Church & Society (a church agency which has been infected with liberal ‘Christianity’ for some time) that signed this.

Perhaps Xzins, who is an elder in the UMC over in Ohio, will have something additional to add.

I should have addressed my remarks to “All” and not to you specifically.

Of course, you know that.

IMO, the denominations which signed on to this travesty are committing heresy and should no longer be considered Christian churches.

Nope, many are secularist clubs which meet on Sunday mornings and discuss ways to justify their sins.

I am aware of that and hopefully my dear FRiend xzins can add some insight.

What goes around, comes around. In the case of abortion, the death panels and every statement in the socialized medicine bill that targets “old people” ( for breast exams, etc that starts at 50.)

The "Disciples Justice Action Center" is a commie group that's infiltrated a number of Disciples of Christ congregations ~ it was "staffed based" up until about a decade ago when the denominational headquarters simply cancelled them.

The Disciples are probably long overdue a real purge!

I googled for the Disciples Justice Action Center, and there is pretty much nothing on this alleged group, beyond its support of the House version of the “health care” legislation. Has anyone ever heard of this group? You’d have to suspect it is maybe one of those “two people and a fax machine” organizations.

Thanks for clearing that up. I have many relatives who are members of that church, and I’ve always considered them very conservative. My aunt who was a member of the Church of Christ had a therapeutic abortion back in the 1930s, when she was nearly forty years old. It haunted her for the rest of her life, in spite of the valid health reasons advocated by her doctor.

Sorry. I should have waited before writing. Nevertheless, there is very little about the group through Google.

So, who’s looking for a new church this Sunday?

Well, I haven’t regularly attended a Disciples church for many years, but it does seem that many politically and theologically elements have taken over there.

I'd like to see a list of those churches which teach approval/acceptability of abortifacients like the IUD and (sometimes) the pill.

These technological methods induce abortions that cannot even be counted.

Apostates all!

Jemian, you and I are always compelled to defend & protect the PCA Presbyterian....

..not wanting to EVER be confused with the USA Presbyterian.

“Nope, many are secularist clubs which meet on Sunday mornings and discuss ways to justify their sins. “

The truth.

The Divide grows even deeper in America. Now it’s between the so-called Christian churches. How’s that Hope and Change and bringing America together working out for those Obamiacks.

You ought to know better. Are you responsible for this headline?

The link has a different headline:

________________________________________

Anyone with any sense knows the difference between the Church of Christ and the United Church of Christ.

Mod: Please change and correct the headline ASAP.

Thank you.

PCA here, also. I don’t see how any believer can stay in a PCUSA church and provide financial support without becoming complicit in the apostacy. Of course, I said that several years ago. Now this...

Thank you. I am a Church of Christ member, and they are the most conservative Christians I have ever met in my life.

Indeed. It is also a warm and loving church. Our congregation here in my small town is not very large, but it is enthusiastic and joyful.

Many of Scottish ancestry have been Presbyterians for several hundred years. Its a shame when Liberals destroy another Protestant Church.

The author, Steven Ertelt, has changed the headline (I used the original). I have asked the moderators to change it to the new headline.

God has definitely taken His hand off of America.

Yes, Mod, pleae change the thread title. United Church of Christ and Church of Christ are poles apart in their philosophy.

Thanks wagglebee.

Now I direct my umbrage to the author. HE writes for a Christian website. HE should have known better.

“Mod: Please change and correct the headline ASAP.

Thank you.”

Agreed. Very misleading headline without the “United” in front of Church of Christ.

The churches of Christ (unlike the United Church of Christ) are about as conservative as they come. Also, they are autonomous congregations with no central governing authority that could make this kind of stupid decision.

“Many of Scottish ancestry have been Presbyterians for several hundred years.”

My Scottish great-great-great (can’t remember how many) was the first pastor of the first Christian church in MA; his church and home still stand as historical sites; rather proud of that, even though I’m Jewish by virtue of my grandmother’s side of the house. Confusing sometimes.

Yes, Mod, pleae change the thread title. United Church of Christ and Church of Christ are poles apart in their philosophy.

No, the mod should not change the thread title -- as it is cited verbatim from the source article!

My Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) is likewise poles apart from the apostate PCUSA -- but that just means we have a much larger mission field here in post-Christian America.

“My Scottish great-great-great (can’t remember how many) was the first pastor of the first Christian church in MA; his church and home still stand as historical sites; rather proud of that, even though I’m Jewish by virtue of my grandmother’s side of the house. Confusing sometimes.”

Wow. Only in America.

The source has since been updated, thanks to a Freeper.

LOL! I think there are more than the two of us who are PCA. I do feel a need to make a distinct distinction (!) because the PCUSA is so very wrong in what they espouse. It comes from the pit and smells like smoke.
