    In your Jan/Feb article on PCUSA lobbyist spearheads push on gun laws, the Office of Public Witness director Rev. Dr. J. Herbert Nelson II is quoted as saying, ” … gun violence is making everyone vulnerable to premature death.” A decade ago this same office marched in protest, carrying the PCUSA banner, protesting the Congress trying to make partial birth abortion illegal. Each year around 1.2 million babies come to a “premature death” with the support of our denomination. The church does not even blink. Our government sends $542 million a year to Planned Parenthood which also performs over 334,000 abortions a year. Does our church protest. No. They blast CAT which manufactures heavy equipment used by Israel. It is interesting which violence is chosen to address. Perhaps he should watch the movie “Fatal Beauty” starring “gun control” advocate Whoopi Goldberg and then tell us again about gun violence and who promotes it.

      Well said. We must all begin sending letters and making phone calls to the PCUSA about their duplicitous and hypocritical social positions.

    George…what you see in PCUSA as in all organized religions, is organization with no spiritual life. Take a good look at the Vatican, more concerned with protocol than the myriad of covered-up sins within. Is it any wonder that in Revelation2 and 3, the Lord Jesus is appealing to individuals to come out of the organized church. The New Testament is filled with warnings that fellowship with Christ will be outside the gates of religion.

    Why the Presbyterian Church USA will Collapse from its Own Distorted Theology

    The Presbyterian Church USA made a collective decision to disavow its own membership. It is not a pretty sight to see. Discounting the possibility of good intentions, this decision was made and it h as made an un-alterable change in the way its believers lived their lives. PCUSA decided to use blackmail as a method of funding their deviant life styles and showed no consideration of its members who have had enough. One wonders why the radical factions who have taken over PCUSA and did not leave to start their own deviant denomination? Why did they decide to use blackmail rather than their talents to do so? I suspect they are just lazy and opportunist.

    Rural PCUSA congregations will have none of this. We believe that homosexuality is not part of God’s plan for our society. We believe that PCUSA’s approval of illegal immigration is incorrect. We do not believe that using church funds to pay for abortions is a good thing. We believe that ordained pastors should have standards and not belong to the “if it feels good, just do it” crowd. And we believe that openly gay and lesbian pastors should not set an example for our children. Openly gay folks are an abomination in our eyes.

    PCUSA is a failed denomination that has become a cesspool of progressive thought for folks who have no place to go. Nothing in this believer’s experience can equate to this travesty. As Billy Sunday said, it is time for PCUSA to quit its meanness.

    The wicked within the PCUSA have no message,like grasshoppers, they destroy; they do not build up; they divide; they are demon possessed awaiting the Lake of Fire.
