  • Hey guys, I'm Radim Zumer, the Vice President of Presbyterians for the Kingdom, which is the Reconquista organization dedicated to retaking the PCUSA.
  • And this is an emergency YouTube video that we're making because something really dangerous is starting to happen in the PCUSA.
  • The enemy is swiftly moving against Reconquista, so today I'm joined by David Yancey, who is the President of Presbyterians for the Kingdom.
  • So David, what is it that has recently been announced?
  • Yeah, a article came out in Juicy Ecumenism that claims, and we believe it does do, this says that you must affirm LGBT actions, thoughts, desires, relationships in order to be ordained in the PCUSA.
  • This means ruling elders.
  • This means deacons.
  • This doesn't just mean pastors.
  • It means everyone.
  • Everyone who will be ordained.
  • Yeah.
  • So this basically means they're trying to make it illegal to be conservative in the PCUSA.
  • A lot of moderates in the denomination introduced gay marriage, or they allowed the progressives to introduce gay marriage, because they thought it was just something inclusive.
  • But the thing about progressivism is it always progresses.
  • We need the moderates to understand that.
  • Eventually, the moderates will become the conservatives, and then they'll become the radical conservatives, and then they'll be kicked out for being too conservative.
  • Unless you're in the front seat driving the progressive train, they will eventually turn on you.
  • So what, at first, our denomination said, we can agree to disagree on gay marriage.
  • Some churches can affirm gay marriage, some churches can reject gay marriage.
  • And up until now, and still to this day, there are a lot of conservative churches left in the PCUSA.
  • But this overture is an attempt by progressives to try and eliminate conservatives from the PCUSA.
  • And that's why Presbyterians for the Kingdom is standing against this.
  • And we're going to do everything we possibly can to shoot down this overture, metaphorically.
  • Right, yeah, we are going to ask for your help this time.
  • We need anyone who's in the PCUSA, we need you to find in your presbytery or just any presbytery, we need to find who the commissioners are, we need to find
  • people to elect commissioners.
  • We need to find people who can be elected commissioners to the General Assembly so that this doesn't pass.
  • And we are calling for a peaceful protest outside of General Assembly because as you pointed out, Richard, you know, this was introduced under the guise of inclusion and
  • In reality, the church has never been more monolithic than it is now.
  • Yeah, it's being used as a club of exclusivity.
  • That's right.
  • That's right.
  • And I mean, you look at our membership, fifteen years ago, it was more than double what it is now.
  • before all this was introduced.
  • And now we are far more elderly, far more white than we ever were, far more monolithic in theology.
  • And we need to say, hey, maybe our modernistic Western liberal values are not working on the ground.
  • This is not bringing people to Christ.
  • Yeah.
  • And it was, you know, it's been a mistake to, um, to, to allow all of this to go down and, and it's coming to a head and we were going to stop it.
  • And we need your help.
  • The reason that we care so much about the question of LGBT ordination, in and of itself, LGBT issues are not nearly as important as theological issues about the gospel or about the divinity of Christ and all that.
  • But you will see almost a one to one correlation between churches that affirm LGBTQ and churches that deny the essentials of the faith.
  • Generally speaking, the only Bible believing churches, the only churches that preach the Bible on Sunday, the only churches that will preach the gospel rather than preaching politics in our denomination are the churches that are in the conservative wing, are the churches that generally reject the LGBTQ agenda.
  • And I know that the majority of the PCUSA is not conservative or progressive.
  • It's moderate.
  • But the thing is, the moderates often get bullied and peer pressured by the progressives, and that's why the denomination appears outwardly a lot more progressive than it is.
  • So I say this to all moderates, like I said in the beginning, maybe you're not as conservative as we are, maybe you're not as traditionalist as Presbyterians for the kingdom, but you need to understand there is no limit to progressivism.
  • Today's moderates are tomorrow's conservatives, and today's conservatives are kicked out tomorrow.
  • So, it's just like the old saying, first they came for the communists, then they came for the, you know how it goes.
  • First they, first they're coming for us, but then they're coming for you.
  • So, everyone who is not a radical progressive, everyone who still loves Jesus, even slightly, in the denomination, needs to form an alliance against this.
  • Needs to form an alliance against the progressive bullies that are trying to force everyone else out of the denomination.
  • They're trying to force out tradition.
  • They're trying to force out the traditionalists.
  • There's two or three hundred thousand Bible believing, Christ loving traditionalists in the PCUSA, and we don't intend to let them just bully us into silence and into submission because we will never recant.
  • We're not going to back down.
  • And here we stand and we can do no other.
  • And we need your help.
  • We need your help big time.
  • Pray for us.
  • We need prayers.
  • We need all your prayers.
  • We need help.
  • We need donations so we can get to Presbytery meetings.
  • We need donations so we can get to GA.
  • We need donations to help keep the theological content coming out.
  • And we need you to talk to your
  • elders and pastors, as I said earlier, and help us out and let's stop this together.
  • Right.
  • Yeah, for the kingdom.
  • I like how you quoted Martin Luther, here I stand, I can do no other.
  • And it's part of our heritage to reform the church when it's corrupt.
  • Martin Luther was not trying to leave.
  • It took a personal excommunication for Martin Luther to leave the Catholic church.
  • I'm sure he would have rather died than be forced out of the Catholic church.
  • And the same is true for us.
  • I am, we are not going to give up on fighting for the heritage of the Presbyterian church.
  • Nothing they can do will ever scare us off.
  • We are not going to run away.
  • We are not scared of the darkness.
  • The darkness only spreads when the light is scared of it.
  • But the Bible says the light shineth in the darkest and the darkness does not overcome it.
  • And we are not going to be overcome with the darkness.
  • The Bible says, Romans twelve, twenty one says, do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.
  • Amen.
  • So we need your guys' help.
  • Yes, donations can help.
  • If you are involved in the PCUSA at all, talk to your pastor, talk to your elders, talk to them about sending people to General Assembly, talk to them about how outrageous this is.
  • If you're not in the PCUSA, but you're thinking maybe you could be, we have a map in the description.
  • Like we said, the PCUSA is a mixed bag.
  • Some churches are progressive, but a lot of them are not.
  • So the map in the description is a map of our friends in the PCUSA.
  • These are the churches you need to support.
  • These are churches you need to start attending.
  • You need to start making connections in those churches.
  • Basically, the goal of Presbyterians for the Kingdom is not to send people marching into progressive churches.
  • No, no, no, no.
  • It's to carve out a traditionalist segment of the PCUSA.
  • It's to carve out a trad segment of the PCUSA that is going to outlast the progressives.
  • And it is, because generally the most successful churches these days in the PCOSA are the traditionalist ones.
  • The progressives hate that.
  • That's why they're trying to kick the traditionalists out.
  • It's true.
  • It's true.
  • Yeah.
  • And join, join our discord.
  • We'll have a link to that in the server as well.
  • I think we're close to two hundred members nationwide, uh, in the discord.
  • Yeah.
  • I thought you meant two thousand members.
  • Oh, two thousands.
  • That's right.
  • Yeah.
  • Yeah.
  • And by the way, the Discord, it's only made up of people in mainline churches, PCUSA or the other mainline denominations, and a mainline denomination is like a historic Protestant denomination that's going liberal.
  • So if you're in like the PCA or a non denominational church, a Roman Catholic, we love you, but this Discord is specifically to be an alliance of traditional mainline Protestants.
  • So only join our discord if you are in one of these denominations, one of these mainstream Protestant denominations that's going more liberal because we are part of the broader Reconquista movement.
  • Reconquista encapsulates the movement to take back all the mainline denominations.
  • Presbyterians for the Kingdom is the official non profit organization dedicated to retaking the PCUSA.
  • We're a subset of Reconquista.
  • Amen.
  • Anything you'd like to add?
  • No, I think that's it.
  • Let's keep fighting for Christ's church, and let's just pray, pray without ceasing, and know that God answers our prayers, and know that if we look at that mountain over there and say, move it, if we have faith, it will move.
  • So even though this seems insurmountable, we can climb this mountain.
  • Yes, we should pray before we close out.
  • Lord, we do not have very much.
  • We do not have the power and the influence that the progressive tyranny of our denomination has.
  • But we do have one thing they don't have, and that is faith in you.
  • That is the one weapon we don't have, and you have told us in your word that with the faith of the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains.
  • And we do have that faith.
  • We have faith in you, Lord.
  • We have faith that you will guide us to win this metaphorical battle.
  • I pray that you grant us victory in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God forever.
  • Amen.
