The Episcopal Church: Laying the groundwork for future moves.
Few things are more clear in the bible than that homosexuality is immoral, unnatural, and blatantly sinful behavior regarded as an abomination by god.
There are a lot of things that can be interrupted many different ways from reading the bible, but homosexuality is not one of them.
It is never enough. No matter what you do to appease these people (or any grievance group), it is never enough.
Gay unions are perfectly compatible with evolution.
“I dont understand how any Christian denomination could condone homosexuality.”
I’m not so sure they’re a “Christian Denomination” anymore!
You’re the expert...
Why these jackwads pretend to be Christian is beyond me.
Do they intend to replace chrism with Preparation H?
Well, thank you. Now that you agree, that gay unions are perfectly compatible with evolution, would you care to address your ad nauseam repetition of "evolution is perfectly compatible with Christianity," combined with your odd contention that all Episcopalians are Christian?
Episcopal Church officials voted yesterday to allow bishops the latitude to bless same-sex unions —
Another group that has fallen of the path to the Kingdom..
Cheers!
Didn’t they fudge a bit, packing all of this into an edict from a so-called church?
Yes, if they'd all just run off and disappear with some little Episcopalian poof, the world would be a better place, lol.
Oh no, you've got it bass-ackwards. The building confers salvation upon those who congregate within. < /sarc >
Gay unions in the church must be acceptable. Only when most of the flock either leaves or splits off will I believe otherwise.
I wouldn’t attend a church one day after an edict like this.
Past, present or future, God exists outside of time, and modernity is meaningless to Him. His truth is therefore unchanging, and those who seek to make accomodations that undermine or negate His truth are not of Him or of Christ. Ergo, despite the buildings, despite the rituals, despite the misperceived sense of cultural belonging, they are not Christian.
It’s that simple.
Uh, I've got news for you, "Miss" Knox. The Episcopal Church already has been torn apart and is dying off rapidly. Soon only a few thousand secular leftists and a bunch of building will remain.
Actually, this has been happening for years. The Anglican Church broke off and there are fewer Episcopalians today.
The church voted for liberalization of their parishes and traditions, and the members voted with their feet.
You find it odd that all Episcopalians are Christians? I find that odd..
