Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (*1 Peter *5:*8 NASB)

The finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist (Charles Baudelaire)

The Episcopalian church and the PCUSA have allowed themselves to become corrupted and co-opted by their worst enemy. In that, he has been successful in deterring thousands from understanding the Gospel and convincing them that the Word is malleable according to popular whims. They are going to miss Eternity with God because of their failure to heed the warning in 1 Peter. Remember that the first sin was due to this same trick: "Did God really say..."

You got that right. If they aren't following Christ then they are their own church, even if they profess to preach in His Name. Christ's church belongs to Him and it follows His word period.

I see what you did there

Their church, their rules.

Yep, but I would never go to a church that support "same sex marriage".
You cannot be a Christian *AND* support same sex marriage.
There is a conflict in Corinthians with the concept of "same sex relationships".

If they accept "same sex marriage" they are no longer Christians.

Can any of you "Christians" name or quote 1 single thing Jesus ever said about homosexuality? And as far as "leftist causes" I believe When Jesus returns that he too will align more with the left than the religious right, because they are neither.

No but I can quote Paul in his letter to the church in Corinth.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
"
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."

We can assume that Paul as an Apostle with the power of resurrection (Acts 20:9-12) could speak as a representative of Christ.

Also in Matthew 19:1-12, Jesus talks about marriage an divorce.
He doesn't talk about two men or two women being married. He talks about husband and wife.

Remember Jesus was a Jew, and homosexuality was not an accepted practice.

You can't be a Christian and support "same sex marriage".
