Contend For The Faith

On Tuesday, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has become the fourth Protestant denomination in the U.S. to allow the ordination of gay and lesbian clergy. It follows a majority vote by the 173 presbyteries (district governing bodies) on Tuesday to change the body’s constitution in order to allow openly gay people in same-sex relationships to be ordained as ministers, elders and deacons.  http://www.christianpost.com/news/pcusa-votes-to-allow-openly-gay-clergy-50176/

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has now joined: The United Church of Christ, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and The Episcopal Church which already allow the ordination of openly gay applicants.

According to the Word of God, this apostasy is a departure from the faith among those who have professed it, who have known it. We know that in the last days, there will be the apostasy.

2 Thessalonians 2:3,  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.

Jesus predicted at the end of the age that there would be a falling away from the faith. The Apostle Paul warned about this departure from the faith. Even the Apostle John warned about this departure from the faith and went to great lengths, in the three epistles he wrote, to help us discern our spiritual condition and recognize spirits that are not of God. Apostasy is a denial of the truth. It can be a denial of God's reality; It can be a denial of the true nature of God.  Anyone who calls himself a Christian and denies the true nature of God has departed from the truth. They want us to believe that they belong within the territory of the true faith, but in reality they have denied true godliness and its power. They are, in fact, not lovers of God as they profess but lovers of themselves.
