Division was always anticipated.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

  1. a Church that has accepted the principles of the Reformation, especially a Calvinist Church (as distinct from Lutheran).

A lot more information here:

Reformed Church in America - Wikipedia

The RCA is a member of the National Council of Churches (founding member), the Wo…

From what I have read, I pretty much disagree with their understanding of Scripture

There are plenty of denominations that have fallen under the spell of the homosexual juggernaut. I read of one the other day that had ordained a transgender female. In Australia, they have their first lesbian bishop. Some are going to marry two men. Once you let the cat out of the bag, you are up the creek without a paddle. The famous last words of the homosexuals were that if you approve of same-sex marriage it won't affect you at all.

Biggest lie under the sun. Since it was approved if you so much as say male and female they will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

Oppose any of their demands and you are labelled a bigot, hateful and homophobic. The fact is that a new religion of homosexuality is taking over western nations and every time a church caves into it they are supporting perversion and sticking two fingers up at God.

I wish what you say wasn't true, but unfortunately it's absolutely true.

It is unfortunate that so many of our Protestant Churches/Sects have fallen to the LGBT movement. It is a slap in the face to God. God/Scripture make no mistake that homosexuality is a sin, an abomination, and that marriage is to be between a man and a woman. Yet, our Protestant churches have brought in the 'abomination' of homosexual marriages into their worship services. Praising these abominations as blessings to God, as the Jews raised and worshipped the golden calf. What went wrong? Did the politics of the day or the desire of the Protestant churches to please all people by accepting their sins and bless these sins and offer them to God? What went so wrong as so many prominent Protestant churches/sects could do an about face on Scripture and God's teaching? What went wrong?

Our Protestant churches are blessing abominations, as sacred rites, and offering these apostacies to God in the form of homosexual marriages. It is prophesized that the AntiChrist will bring abominations within the Church. Is the AntiChrist with us now, in our own Churches? How can we take the abomination of homosexual marriage and give it God's blessing, in the sight of God in our own churches? How can we abandon Scripture and turn against God thusly?

It should be surprising. All Christians should be on the same page regarding sexual perversions.
There is the reformed church and the deformed church. Since only about 4% of churchgoers are born again, it is not surprising when the world gets into the church. That's why an 'open door' policy is so dangerous.

It is not just the Protestant Reformed Church that has accepted gay/homosexual marriages. Many Protestant churches, if not most, have welcomed this abomination into their sacred worship services. Might as well worship Satan at their services: Most American Mainline Protestants Embrace Gay Marriage | HuffPost Communities
The so-called church bears little resemblance to God's church. He knows who is His. One day, the real church will pull out of the sham church and go underground. Then the church can grow in Christ instead of becoming more and more like the world.

exactly!
Salt of the Earth.
Not abomination encouragers.
Love the sinner, hate the sin.
The LGBTQ is trying to 'normalize it'. And the Libs make up words to win arguments. LOL
And a lot of people are cowards.

God will have the final word. Judgment is coming. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah.

No doubt that every time our churches bless and marry gays, and add the abomination to their worship services, Satan is there and laughing with delight. A big slap in the fact to God and God's will. How did we end up here?

Interesting point. I was thinking about pretrib rapture of the church. Given the world, and the church today, If/when it occurs, the people and the churches won't see anything happen. I see all the prepping going on, but I see very few people actually prepared for the times ahead.
