Bye bye following the Bible

In response to the new decision listed at http://www.pcusa.org/news/2011/5/11/pcusa-relaxes-constitutional-prohibition-gay-and-l/: 

(Note, not all church’s that are Presbyterian are in accord with this decision or are even part of Presbyterian Church USA)

So earlier, they required church leaders (deacons, elders, etc) to have “fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman or chastity in singleness.” That phrase has now been replaced with having “submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.” As listed in their other resources, now “a person in a same‐gender relationship can be considered for ordination as deacon, elder, or Minister of the Word and Sacrament.” Previously, “there was never a prohibition against a person being ordained based on sexual orientation, as long as that person was celibate”. 

Everything about this is saddening. Their previous position wasn’t quite biblical, but now they are fleeing even further. Apparently submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ doesn’t include submitting to the Word of God. In fact, the majority that has made this change occur is submitting to this society, and not submitting to God.
