Throughout the twentieth century, various Presbyterian denominations arose, merged, and split into various break-away groups. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) (often abbreviated as PCUSA) was established by the 1983 merger of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, whose churches were located mainly in the South and in border states, with the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, whose congregations could be found in every state. In 1973, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) separated from the Presbyterian Church in the United States in "opposition to the long-developing theological liberalism which denied the deity of Jesus Christ and the inerrancy and authority of Scripture." In 1982, the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod, joined the Presbyterian Church in America.

Do any of you who are still protestants understand how absurd this sounds?

RE: Do any of you who are still protestants understand how absurd this sounds?

I wouldn’t use the word “absurd”. I would use the word “sad”.

it simply shows how sinful human beings are and how throughout history, people forget and neglect God’s word by putting primacy on their “feelings” and personal wisdom.

I don’t think this problem exists only in “protestant” churches.

As someone who grew up in the RCC, trying to find a decent RCC church was oftentimes a chore, and sometimes impossible.

I was in the SSPX, then I got saved (Ephesians ch. 2),

... then I left both the Novus Ordo AND the SSPX in my rearview mirror.

(I do like Lubbock, TX, though.)

No. Because if you know what really happened it makes perfect Biblical sense.
