Now the declaration and the stand of the Ghanaian Presbyterian Churches affiliated with the PCUSA is clear. Those Ghanaian churches who take advantage of the situation to condemn and criticize their own brothers because of this affiliation should know that they do not help the mission of the church: "That All May Be One"! Remember, you are NOT holier than your brother!

Satan has found its way into the church and has started outdooring his diabolical schemes.

Now that the Presbyterian Church USA has approved same gender marriage, it is likely that some gay married couples will do missionary work in Africa, either with the church or as members of the United Nations. Kofi Anan introduced equal spouse benefits to married same sex partners. Ghana PC members may eventually realise that literal interpretation of the old testament is dangerous to modern civil society and that that the story of Soddom and Gommorah was is fact fiction. These cities were destroyed because of an earthquake and had nothing to do with God's anger at men wanting sex with his angels. Islamic literalists stone adulters and fornicators to death or behead them because that is prescribed in the Koran. Jesus embraced marginalised people like tax collectors, Samaritans and sex workers. Is it not likely he would embrace gays and lesbians who accept the Lord and do good in His name?

Please Umar, what you're saying is untrue. The Bible is clearly against same sex marriage. Tell me the part of Ezekil which advises Christians to do same sex marriage.

Christ himself made reference to the judgement of God against Sodom and Gomorrah.
Our Lord Jesus Christ will NOT embrace gays and lesbians who 'accept the Lord and do good in His name'.
Our Lord Jesus Christ will embrace every one who acknowledges his or her sinful ways(including gays and lesbians) and repent of them.
The Kingdom of God has no accommodation for sinners (Revelation 22.15)
Also churches cannot make mockery of the significance of Baptism which is an integral part of Salvation.
Baptism comes after repentance, in accordance with the WORD OF GOD. So let me take opportunity and say that members should champion this course.
Fasting and prayers ought to be made, asking the Lord for forgiveness on such issues.
Alter calls are to be made to challenge people to receive Christ, as Lord and Personal Savior.
Such believers are then to be Baptized(by immersion).
Let no one be deceived. When missionaries of some denominations came with the Gospel, this(infant Baptism) is one of the comprise that came along with it.
People have a watered or compromising way of justifying the practice.
However, the Lord knows why HE said WHOEVER believes should be baptized.
How can a child believe? Heed to what Christ has said, not what has been the compromising practice of the Church.
Babies are to be dedicated to the Lord, not 'Baptized'. And they are to be Baptized when they come of age and believe the Gospel, for this is the assurance of Salvation.
As for the issue at stake, its needs no discussion or deliberation. The WORD of God is assuredly sure on the the matter.
Let us stand firm and aspire to be the Light of the world and the salt of the Earth, heeding the warning in Hebrew 1, for God has spoken to us in the person of his Son.

My comment is on the part about infant baptism; Infants are baptized with the expectation of a later CONFIRMATION WHEN THE CHILD GROWS UP.The churches that practice infant Baptism have teachings through their children's services and other training programs geared towards teaching the kids about the Gospel and then confirm their Baptism when they reach the appropriate age.Personally I think this makes a lot of sense.

I will leave the Presbyterian Church as soon as the Ghanaian branch join the PCUSA.
God save us.

The decision of the PC USA to include gays and lesbians in the legal ceremony of marriage shows strong moral leadership. Since President Obama, a devout Christian, also gave his support for same sex marriages, most states in the US now allow these marriages. The PC USA welcomes their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to share their joyful wedding day in church with God's love and blessing. The modern Christian understand the principles of love and inclusion.
In South Africa, traditiaonal Zulu weddings are conducted for gay couples. Ghanaians are yet to see the benefits of a society free of homophobia but the day will come to pass.
Sadly if we go down the slippery path of literal biblical interpretation we end up with extremist mobs stoning gays, adulterers and fornicators. We see Islamic State and Boko Haram zealosly take up a literal view of the Koran and anyone who does not agree is put to death. Leviticus was also hard on those who eat shell fish, pork and wear clothes with mixed fibres. Women are especially restricted under the old testament. Hate has no place in pure souls and so the way to redemption is to apply God's message of unconditional love to our neighbours no matter their race, creed, gender or sexuality.

will you follow what man says or what God says. Our Lord Jesus always told the people to repent, go and sin no more. That is love.
You do not know what love is. Love does not rejoice in what is evil.
