1. The use of of the NIV Bible. It has been proven to have mistakes and omissions. Of course, no translation is perfect but I do wish other versions could be used as well.
2. Women preachers . Now I do believe a woman can have a ministry but I don't believe a woman should be in the pulpit or in charge of a church.
3. The Christian creed - not because I don't believe what it says but rather because of its use of the term Catholic church. They claim it is just another word for Christian church but since I disagree with much of the Catholic religion (okay, mostly the whole praying TO the saints), it just rings wrong to me to be in a Presbyterian church and be saying Catholic.
4. The support of The Shack. Now I read the book, I did. It was very odd. Quite sacrilegious to be honest, I mean God was portrayed as a woman for one thing. And then humanizing the Holy Spirit is completely against the Bible as well. Frankly I was just shocked to hear the preacher enthusiastically talking about the movie and setting up study times for it.
5. Politics in the pulpit. It's been made clear that the preacher did not vote Trump and that's fine, it is, I don't expect everyone to agree on politics but politics don't belong in the pulpit.
To be completely honest , this church isn't very Christian at all. No one even brings a Bible to church here! I think many just go because it is something they should do over what they actually believe.
