They’ve also changed their constitution to redefine marriage as “two people”. I think it’s safe to say that God has left the building.
It’s worse than that, Pam. They hate God. They hate His Truth. They hate His followers. They hate themselves.
only two people? why not six guys and a goat?
“why not six guys and a goat?”
These things take time. Be patient.
ok, but our goat is wondering what’s taking the PCUSA so damned long!>>>>???????????
This “church” has become a house of whores. It deserves to die on the vine — and it will.
I’d tell them to go to hell, but they’ve already got their tickets punched.
lol, literally
thanks
Well that’s the thing. If anyone is allowed to redefine marriage to suit their whims, I should be able to marry my house plant. And how do you define “people”, anyway? Words like “marriage” should have some absolute meaning, or we might as well bark like dogs instead of talk.
The Mainstream Christian Churches - Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians and ECLA have been hijacked by the homosexuals and Islamophiles
ha!
any so-called “church” that’s as screwed up as PCUSA will have no trouble at all letting you marry your house plant
(unless Bucky our goat gets to it first)
ps: we hope you’re not “into” carnivorous plants...
ouch!)
Then they now join the ranks of the other major group of reprobate Protestant heretics - the Anglicans, aka “Episcopalians.” This is what adherence to “situational ethics” begets you - separation from God, and a divorce from reason.
You would think a lot of congregations will soon be leaving. But who knows?
... but, .. .but... it’s named “Venus”...
wasn’t she like a sex goddess or something?
She isn’t called a Venus “fly trap” .... Without a reason....
Matrimony - from whence derives the word Marriage (from the Latin “matrimonium”) - is a composite of two Latin words: mater, meaning Mother, and monium, meaning a state or condition ... Literally translated, matrimony (and so its derivative - marriage) is “Office of the Mother” ... Thus, Marriage, by definition entails the sacred and indissoluble union of one man and one woman. It cannot be constituted in any other form and still be considered “marriage.”
By the very fact that homosexual acts are non-life affirming, sterile selfish acts of mutual friction, the homosexual cannot ever be in a state of motherhood. The same verdict holds true whether the homosexual individual is a man or a woman (lesbian), because two lesbians cannot in of themselves conceive new life. The too only engage in non-life affirming, sterile and selfish acts of mutual friction for the sake of pleasure. The truth is that homosexuality distills to hedonism in its most vulgar and dehumanizing form.
Did the Episcopalians leave the Anglican “church,” once its leadership openly accepted homosexuality as “normal” - and then followed up on that error by ordaining openly homosexual clergy? These people are being conditioned to disengage from rational thought ... To paraphrase the Scriptures: “Refusing the truth, God handed them over to darkened intellects.” That really says it all about today’s “enlightened” fools.
The 310-303 vote shows they are really divided on that issue, not “united” as the headlines suggested afterward.
yuck ping...
Not all of them. I am a Presbyterian but have absolutely no ties to the "Presbyterian Church USA" which this article is about. Back in the late 60's, real Christians in the Presbyterian church USA (PCUSA) realized where the denomination was headed and so they withdrew and formed the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) which adheres to Biblical scripture.
So please do not lump all Presbyterians into the "heresy" category, as I see some of you are so quick to do. The PCA is a very different church and absolutely does support Israel and does not tolerate the defiling of the definition of marriage from “a man and a woman”.
