Presbyterian Apostasy Continues

News from the Presbyterian Church USA that a majority of Presbyteries have now voted to amend the definition of marriage from “between a man and a woman” to “between two persons, traditionally a man and a woman.”

In some ways the PCUSA is being honest.  There is no attempt to say one thing and do another; they have simply redefined marriage to be a relationship between two persons. In contrast, in Scotland the Presbyteries have decided in effect to affirm that the Scripture clearly teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman, but that individual congregations are free to ignore this and admit to membership and office practicing homosexuals.

In a statement online the PCUSA evangelical pressure group, the Presbyterian Lay Committee, through its chairwoman states:

“We see this attempt to redefine what God has clearly defined as an express repudiation of the Bible, the mutually agreed upon Confessions of the PCUSA, thousands of years of faithfulness to God’s clear commands and the ordination vows of each presbyter who voted to approve what God does not bless”

“By approving the amendment by a majority vote, PCUSA presbyteries ratified the decision of the 2014 General Assembly to change the definition of marriage from between “a man and a woman” to “between two persons, traditionally a man and a woman,” thereby expanding same-sex marriages in the PCUSA beyond what is currently allowed through the Authoritative Interpretation (AI) issued by the same assembly. That AI already allows ministers in states where same sex marriage is legal, to officiate at weddings for same sex couples.”
