Maybe it's just me, but if the Presbyterians can't get something as simple as human sexuality right, what makes them think that their other doctrine is approved by God?
Maybe you should quiz AMR which faction of Presbyterianism he adheres to because you obviously are ignorant to the fact that there are two factions of presbyterians, there is the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) which does Biblically uphold that homosexuality is sin, and there is the Presbyterian Church USA (PC(USA)) which is quite liberal on the matter. I think you will find AMR is a PCA subscriber (if you ask) but, I will not speak for him.
You're the 2nd person that allegedly isn't speaking for AMR. Based on his avatar, I'm assuming he's a big boy and can speak for himself, and when he was speaking for himself, here is what I saw:
He was putting down a man (Glenn Beck) who is backing a devoutly Christian Presidential candidate (Ted Cruz) who knows the Constitution of the United States perhaps better than the back of his own hand. In the eyes of AMR, Mormonism is bad, but a church that resembles the one that he goes to (Presbyterian) gets a pass even though a secular humanist Presidential candidate (Donald Trump) attended the "gay affirming" church recently in Iowa.
That's rings a big bad suspicion bell in my head when it comes to AMR's silence.
Now unless there was a typo in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and it meant to say "...wrongdoers will
not inherit the kingdom of God...", then the sodomites at the Presbyterian church that secular humanist Presidential candidate Donald Trump attended will be spending eternity in damnation.
What fairness do want to extend to the mormon cult that poses as christianity? Help me out here...
This is a political thread not one of the famous "My church is better than your church!" threads here on TOL. The Mormon Church has been politically active and took the brunt of the HATE by the LGBTQueer movement when Prop 8 was being fought in California.
The Price of Prop 8
Supporters of Proposition 8 in California have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, vandalism, racial scapegoating, blacklisting, loss of employment, economic hardships, angry protests, violence, at least one death threat, and gross expressions of anti-religious bigotry. Arguments for same-sex marriage are based fundamentally on the idea that limiting marriage to the union of husband and wife is a form of bigotry, irrational prejudice, and even hatred against homosexual persons. As this ideology seeps into the culture more generally, individuals and institutions that support marriage as the union of husband and wife risk paying a price for that belief in many legal, social, economic, and cultural contexts...Mormons were particularly and systematically targeted for supporting Prop 8.

Let's hope that the Mormon's will back Ted Cruz, as I'm sure when it comes to votes, any candidate doesn't care what a person's religious affiliation is.
