Well, the 7th Commandment for them:
"Thou shalt not commit adultery" -- God
San Jose, CA., Jul 8, 2008 / 11:57 pm (CNA).- Reaction continues to the decisions of the 218th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA), which took place between June 21 and June 28. The assembly nullified proscriptions against sexual behavior outside of marriage and called for a vote to delete the church’s constitutional standard requiring fidelity in marriage and chastity in singleness. It also initiated a process that could remove mention of the Bible’s prohibition against homosexuality form the Heidelberg Catechism.
When it comes to accepting homosexuality, and assorted misuses of the sexuality God gave us, why worry about what He said about it. Fidelity in marriage is not important. Chastity outside of marriage is not important either. It's all about what we want to do.
This sort of thing makes me thank God each and every day that I'm sailing on the Barque of Peter with Benedict XVI's hand firmly on the rudder.
