Christ came to save sinners and of course this includes those who suffer from a sexual attraction disorder. Still yet, loving those who struggle with a sin is an entirely different matter than approving of and endorsing it. The New Testament is very clear on the results of an unrepentant homosexual lifestyle (1 Cor. 6:9) and the qualifications for leadership (1 Tim 3:2). By allowing Pastors to model a lifestyle that leads to hell, the PCUSA is knowingly leading its sheep to the slaughter. When the ELCA Lutheran denomination passed a similar measure their meeting place was struck by a tornado, prompting John Piper to comment:

This denomination has been apostate for decades. Carl McIntire wrote his book The Death of a Church (1967) about the PCUSA following their Confession of 1967.
Yes Jack I agree but this certainly is a turn for the worse! I think Piper makes it clear, they are leading people to hell.
He or she still looks like he’s twenty-five. Amazing.
