Mainline churches have been dealing with infiltration by homosexuality advocates, who necessarily deny the authority of the Bible in matters like sexuality and marriage. This is just the latest news about an ongoing issue. Maria L. LaGanga
reports at LATimes.com:
A Presbyterian Church appeals court has affirmed an earlier ruling that the Rev. Dr. Jane Adams Spahr violated the Presbyterian constitution and her ordination vows for marrying more than a dozen same-sex couples during the brief window when it was legal to do so in California.
Spahr, 68, was found guilty in August after a four-day ecclesiastical trial in Napa, Calif. She appealed that verdict to the Permanent Judicial Commission of the Synod of the Pacific, which ruled that she violated church policy, which does not allow clergy to “state, imply or represent” that same-sex wedding ceremonies are church marriages.
The Bible, literally from the first book to the last, presents marriage as something that unites a bride and a groom. A minister claiming to be a Christian minister goes against the Bible when they claim to be performing a Christian wedding and there is no bride or there is no groom.
