Laodicean Presbyterians Sanction Homosexual Clergy, Call It "New Era"

Follow up on: Laodicean Lutherans Embrace Homosexual Agenda, Allow 'Gay' Clergy 8-22-09 "There is no escaping the facts, what has been unleashed by the Laodicean Lutherans will sooner than later be forcing the 'opening of the ministry' at the next denominational-door on the list. You can be one hundred percent certain that your church is somewhere on that list too. You will at some point also be forced to choose a side."

Presbyterians to officially allow gay clergy

"The Presbyterian Church enters a new era of equality on Sunday," said Michael Adee, the group's executive director. "It is a historic moment. It returns us to ordination standards that focus on faith and character rather than one's marital status or sexual orientation."

The new policy removes language from the denomination's constitution that had barred homosexuals from serving as church ministers, elders and deacons. It allows each presbytery - or regional governing body - to decide what sexual standards to place on ordination.

"In passing (the policy), the denomination removed all sexual behavior standards from its constitution," said the Rev. Parker T. Williamson..."Scripture is very clear that there are standards relating to our sexual behavior ... but this denomination has decided it doesn't have any standards."

re: "new era...historic moment"

"...because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie" 2Th 2:11-12

The Word of God foretells of the utter corruption of the outward professing Christian church as being the final state of Christen-'dumb', signalling the end of the age, and tells us that at that time it will merge into and become part of the global system of Antichrist. This bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. In that sense history is definitely being made here.

Some deluded types are calling this a "new era"
[compare: here]. The Word of God calls it "strong delusion".

To announce a new era must then at the same time be to declare an end to an old era. Interestingly enough, the concept these deluded types are promoting is actually biblical. The correct biblical term for this period of time, this 'old era, which truly is about to close, is the "age of grace". Grace is God's offer of free salvation through faith in the blood of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ [Rom. 3:24-25]. But the reality of the 2,000 year history of the age of grace - from the time of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ [1Cor. 15:3-4] until the present - is that in this world mankind has "received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved".
What this means then is that when this gospel 'grace period' of human history really does close completely, the day of reckoning will begin [Jer. 25:31].

It's closing fast. Do not be strongly deluded - receive the love of the truth. Rev. 18:4
