I forgot one.
“The Bible Gives Us Examples of Loving Homosexual Relationships such as David and Jonathan.”

Wow, taking the wide road.... Read somewhere that it leads to a rather hot spot.

Well it’s official now. The PC(USA) is no longer Christian.

My wife and I are members of a PCUSA church, but I no longer attend. Actually, as I understand what the PCUSA has done, from what I have read, is that churches can choose to have a gay minister or not. It will be a decision at the local level. A gay minister cannot be foisted on a congregation without its consent.

That said, I cannot stand any longer to be part of a church that has obviously been taken over by gays and pro-aborts and anti-Israel idiots.

I think there are two reasons the gays are successful in taking over so many churches:

1.) Many of the members have gay relatives, either children or siblings. They don't want to condemn their own childrens' lifestyles; so they vote to overturn the Bible to do away with their chirren's sin.

2.) They no little or nothing of the Bible and what it really means. There are actually people who profess to be Christians who believe that when Jesus ate and drank with sinners that he was endorsing their lifestyle. The most important commandment for these fake Christians is not found in the Bible: "Be tolerant."

The bible says that we are to know our brothers by the fruit which they bear. Encouraging people to practice homosexual behavior (and thuisly condemning them to hell) is about as far from what Christ would want them to do as you can get.

What did Christ say to any sinner he confronted? "Go and sin no more" He never said "We'll just call it OK and you can do whatever you want".

You cannot be a Christian without following Christ. If you are working to promote what Christ hates (in this case homosexual behavior) then you are not following Christ.

Now that they have consolidated their gains, the fornication and polyamory crowd are also starting to stick their heads up. Sample chapters include:

“The Bible Nowhere Establishes Heterosexual Monogamy as the Norm for Sexual Relations”

“The Jews were Polygamous Until the Tenth Century”

“Nothing in Scripture Says Christians Have to Be Married or Monogamous to Enjoy Sex”

“Jesus’ Mother Was Only One of a Number of Sister-Wives / Concubines of Joseph”

“Monogamous Marriage is a Later Corrupt Creation of the Catholic Church”
