Written by someone who apparently is unaware that the PCUSA has been trending to the extreme left for decades...and losing congregations all along the way. So it makes sense the few Biblical Christians who stuck it out would eventually be outnumbered.
Simple math.
It is very extreme for PCUSA to can a pastor unless there is sin involved.
The people who are committed Christians will leave the church, and the Presbyterian Church will do a slow fade into oblivion.
“neo-religions” with “neo-faith” in “neo-churches”.
Just call them “neo-Christians”, because though they integrate elements of Christianity and its symbolism, so do the practitioners of Voodoo.
**The people who are committed Christians will leave the church, and the Presbyterian Church will do a slow fade into oblivion.**
It is already bleeding members.
The sad thing is many in the pews don’t really have a sense of what is going on. They are of the mindset, “well not MY CHURCH!” (meaning local church)
My wife and I were the same way, we attended a PCUSA church for years then stumbled into a PCA church. Moved back to the town where our old PC(USA) church was and visited our first Lord’s Day back. Same pastor and elders. Halfway through the service my wife leaned over and told me never to bring her there again. I didn’t.
“The presbytery, in fact not only dismissed Lowe, but dissolved the church’s entire session (or governing council).”
And, the congregation responded by...
?
The PC USA has rejected the Bible as the Word of God, and put its beliefs above scripture.
When all protestant faiths think they all interpret the Word of God and they are all right, well you get to have to one big hissy fit. Anyone with a brain knows no where in the Bible does God condone sodomy. But when there is no authority and all are their own authority, well to hell everything. That’s the way the perverts look at it. In otherwords who is anyone else to tell they are wrong. They mangle scripture to fit their vile purposes. All will be crispy critters come Judgement Day.
It is not their interpretation of the Word of God is the root cause, it is their rejection of scripture as the Word of God.
What you are missing in your analysis is churches are totally ignoring Scripture.
Much like Rome does on many issues we have pointed out many times.
And by the way, YOUR so called church has is fair share of child molesters serving as priests, so you have lost all credibility on this issue.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the Catholic Church will never sanction sodomite “marriage” in any way, shape or form. While protestant faiths might change with the world, the Catholic Church does not. You’ll hear cafeteria catholics raising cain about it but it ain’t changing. The reason is simple. The Catholic Church has safeguarded the truth of the gospel for 2,000 years. If the world stands 2,000 more years the Church will be be guarding the true from those controlled by the forces of Satan.
YOUR so called church
since you commenced with the flippant references to others’ faiths, what so called church do you belong to...?
what so called church do you belong to...?
Sorry.
Actually I was responding to flippant remake about Protestants.
I see...since the major point in the post you responded to dealt with varying Protestant churches interpreting faith differently, with each believing its own to be exclusively true, do you disagree with the point...? We may grant that the post was inelegantly expressed, but was it not true...?
Sorry...
heh heh heh...coy, coy...
As opposed to Rome interpreting most things wrongly?
