There are still faithful Christians in the PCUSA who are working to hold the line against gay ordination.
The problem is the homosexuals keep coming; keep litigating; keep agitating until people become exhausted from the fight.
They count on wearing people down. God willing, the churches will again refuse to ratify gay ordination. If not, the denomination is finished.
It is finished now.. they are bleeding numbers ..
The one near me has a woman pastor and a universalist position.. Their parking lot is full on Sundays.. So many lost in one place deserve to hear the gospel
That's very true, and there are also people fighting the abortion policies. IMO, they will get nowhere.
Eventually I believe the PCUSA will allow gay pastors and continue with abortion coverage for pastors and their families.
You can't reason with liberals, which is why I left the denomination.
Well, it is high time Christians left the PCUSA. This branch of presbyterian churches has been turning away from the Bible since the 1930s. That is why the Orthodox Presbyterian Church was formed in 1936.
Depends on what you mean. If you mean to exclude those pursuing homosexual relationships, I can certainly agree they have no place leading the church but I am not one to support married clergy of any stripe.
Should those living chaste and celibate lives be excluded? I don't think it's necessary or prudent.
"Gay" ordination isn't something that just popped up in an otherwise biblical Church body; it is only the logical conclusion to a continuing apostate culture of acceptance of unbiblical beliefs and practices.
By the time a Church denomination gets to the acceptance of homosexuality, a thousand other apostasies have already been swallowed and ingested.
Your individual congregation may be the rare exception, but when you are yoked to a denomination that toys with such abominations, it's time to step back and re-evaluate.
