WOW—those Presbyterians—they are HOT TO TROT!!

No gambling, drinking, or dancing, but all the illicit sex you want.

I wonder how many converts they’ll get over this!

I'm guessing, none. Why would they want to join a church?

What the hell good is church anymore. The preachers aren’t going to have any vices to preach against before long. They’re slowly but surely putting themselves out of work. Another sign of the socialist times we live in!!

The assembly nullified proscriptions against sexual behavior outside of marriage and called for a vote to delete the church’s constitutional standard requiring fidelity in marriage and chastity in singleness.

Astounding.

Apostasy alert!

“2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

Maybe, but it doesn’t seem that there’s any shortage of girls/women of easy virtue in our society.

Adds a whole new level of meaning to 'church social'.

I don't know which denomination will be the first to sponsor the charter chapter of "Swingers for Christ", PC USA, Episcopalians*, or United Methodist*.

*apologies to the few faithful who remain in the struggle.

What percentage of Presbyterians are PCUSA?

Do you think there will be a split over this?

Splitting is what we Presbyterians do best. :)

I don’t know about a full split, but I could see more conservative Presbyterian denominations like the OPC and PCA picking up more churches now. If somehow the rank and file of PCUSA can’t crack the hold this liberal Mafia has on their ranks, then leaving, or even crumbling apart like the ECUSA is doing, is their only option.

Hey, we left the Presby church, or maybe it isn't a church anymore, over their dealings with the Pallies - I'm stunned that even they could go this far.

Where did MY Presbyterian Church go?????

I don’t know that much about the PCUSA. Christians within it ought to force a split, as light has no fellowship with darkness.

Ooops - broke my own rule about ignoring your posts. Sorry about that :-)

Oh God I WISH there would be a split - we'd return to a real Presbyterian Church.

It would be very difficult to install temple prostitutes without first setting aside the commandments and proscriptions aimed at inculcating self-control in the congregation. And temple prostitutes come in both sexes so their stand on homosexuality follows logically.

At this point it would not surprise me to see statues of Eros, Priapus, Venus and Dionysius start popping up in the places these people attend. It would be more honest to do so than continue as they are.
