From the article
“We can disagree with each other but we can still exist under the same denominational title. Presbyterians have been dealing with this issue for at least 30 years, and many of us think there are more important missional issues,” Davenport said. “The mission of the church and the proclamation of the gospel is more important that wrangling over sexual issues, and I hope we’re moving in that direction to get over this, to put our focus on what we think is more important, which is the proclamation of the gospel and the salvation of the world rather than arguing about sex all the time.”
Obsessed with it aren't they?

Let me guess.

“Go and sin no more” is not a part of their gospel.

Neither is being “born again” into life anew.

Neither is becoming a “new creature” whereby “old things are passed away”.

Why don’t these perverted, anti-Biblical, anti-God “Presbyterians” just go and switch to Unitarianism and be done with it?

Oh, that’s right. Because their goal is not to find a church that supports what they believe in. Their goal is to subvert as many churches and bring them down into darkness as possible.

Defund them by withholding “offerings.”

I wonder how many confessing churches in the PCUSA will react to this heresy and leave that apostate denomination to join those of us in the PCA and the OPC who still hold a high view of scripture.

“submit joyfully to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life.” = worship at the alter of a god of your own making.

Idolatry in full swing.

And I give my OK for them to remove the word “Church” from their title.

This same sophistry and treachery waa attempted in the Episcopal Church:

1) I bring up a change I want.

2) When denied what I want, I persist in bringing it up. For DECADES

3) Then I say you ought to let me have my way so that “we” can stop talking about it and “do something more important,” — more important, that is, than the thing I brought up and I perseverated in.

And people actually fall for this!

Presbyterian Church gives OK to ordain leaders who are gay

Yabut, what about child molesters, rapists, ax murderers and other democrats? They're people too.

What about their rights to become clergy?

They aren’t just allowing gay priests. They have lifted the requirement that non-married priests lead a celibate lifestyle. So fornication is A-OK in the PCUSA. Jesus who?

This will quickly be followed by allowing homo-fake "marriage" in the Politically Correct Church USA. Watch.

When sodomites "win," they go all out.
