The Presbyterian Church (USA) has recently announced that they will be updating their denominational statistics by adding a “Nonbinary/Genderqueer Category” into the fray.
Per a press release posted to the denomination’s official website: “Each year, the Office of the General Assembly gathers statistical information from presbyteries across the country and provides a comprehensive breakdown on church membership, ethnicity and age distribution, as well as other information. But for next year’s update, expect to see some changes in what is reported.”
On top of “Adding a nonbinary/genderqueer category,” they say, the Protestant denomination also will be “Removing definitions from the racial/ethnic sections per General Assembly action.”
We’ll have the same categories, we’re just not defining them any longer, which may upset people. The information will be there — we’re just removing the definitions.
For instance, we’ve always asked how many female members there are in the church. We’re now asking how many men, women and nonbinary/genderqueer members there are. We’ve never asked that question so we don’t know how many people will fill it out.
If we want to be inclusive, then we have to start asking because you should be aware of who’s a part of your church.
Another category that changed was age distribution of members. We’ve added one category of 17 or 18 and under and then ages 19–25. If you’re 17, your answers are likely to be different than those that are 25. This will have an impact on age distribution numbers. If you break it down, it will be hard to compare previous numbers. Approximately 82% of congregations are filling out the questions now. I have a feeling it will drop lower this year.
Statistics paint the picture of who we are as a denomination. It’s not just statistics, it’s ministers, churches, it is who we are at this particular time.
Kris Valerius, manager of denominational roles and statistics, said
In mid-June of this year The WinePress reported the Presbyterian Church (USA) launched a new program called “Queering The Bible” to create New “Theologies.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[10] For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. [11] For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. [12] Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. [13] And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. [14] I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.Jeremiah 23:10-14
The Presbyterians have had salvation and many other doctrines wrong since the get-go, but now this denomination – who has also been in the backpocket of the Vatican for long time now too – is one of the more “woke” denominations out there, as are most of the Lutherans, Methodists, Anglicans, and more.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

perfect scripture describing the entire western world today
Jeremiah 23:10-14 fit America and its “judeo-christian culture” like a glove!
America is getting ready to get the axe and this nation is going to be destroyed.
I came out of the pentecostal cult, Daniel, another harlot daughter of the Vatican and she is in my opinion at least, the most whorish of the harlot daughters of Rome and she is trying her hardest to outdo and overachieve mama Vatican. Roman Catholicism and pentecostal/charismatic are having a mother daughter competition like you’ve never seen! The other daughters just obey and pay their respects to their mother but this daughter (pentecostal/charismatic) is out of control!
Are Pentecostals woke? Maybe a few, especially because they’re the sister of the Methodist harlot daughter, but woke or not, Pentecostals are satanic and heretical to the Max, throw in the charismatic witchcraft kundalini rooted satanism and wow!

I did not realize the Presbyterian churches have sunk this low already, although I have no doubt that ALL the mainstream Protestant churches in this country will be having sex orgies in their services in the not too distant future. After reading this, I’m glad I decided to stay home today and not go out of my way to a rummage sale sponsored by a Presbyterian church. These people almost make the Catholics look good, even though it was Catholic ecumenicism that helped bring this denomination down into the gutter.
Wow. Crazy stuff
