Presbyterians Vote To Allow Gay Marriage By Whopping 3-1 Ratio

[JAHS]

There's a way to do it, Rather than wait for a revelation from God let's just take a vote on it.

Well, if we are going to vote on stuff, here are my suggestions:

1. The block be reduced to 2 hours

2. Tithing be reduced to 5 % ...of your tax return

3. Scouting be eliminated in fairness to the YW program

4. Professional custodians be hired

I predict that more of these types of votes will take place in congregations all over the US.

Repeal the WoW

Allow nonmembers to participate in the Temple.

Throw out all this Theosis stuff.

I am glad we don't vote on doctrine. I may not always have the ability to live it personally, but i like the fact that the Lord gives us standards.

I just want to give it to everyone right now. No more waiting around to become like God. Now where did I put my lightning bolts?

Would you settle for going back to using wine for the sacrament?

I don't see the point of limiting it to just the sacrament. I don't see the point of drinking alcohol to excess either. But the occasional glass of wine with a meal shouldn't be a problem either.

The Presbys have changed their constitution, or in the process of doing so to accommodate the desires of man.  Hmm, this is a church that has been consistently declining over the last many years; do they think that this will save their church?  Why?

[Nofear]

Our local town Presbytarian pastor is rather upset by the vote and not sure how to handle it. He is confident that it will cause some loss in membership.

Do as Jesus did. This is partially why LDS sacrament isn't a valid communion. It's just bread and water with pseudo-pneumatic presence nonsense. Too bad the Calvinists and Lutherans were the ones to ruin the Eucharist first but that is to be expected. Western churches...oops! I mean communities.
