I don't care whether this man has physical urges for the opposite sex or the same sex. Why? Because we are more than just our physical sensations. God made us that way. He elevated us above all other creatures on earth.

What I can't believe is that the Episcopal church is giving their blessing to open sex out of wedlock. This new bishop lives with his lover. He's not just a homosexual. He's a practicing, cohabitating homosexual. Suppose he and his lover break up. In this case I imagine it will be all right for Bishop Robinson to have sex with anyone he wishes. After all, he's not married now, and what he does is okay.

Could a heterosexual bishop who left his family to live with a female lover ever have gotten confirmed? No. This man was given special dispensation because he belongs to a subgroup of society favored by liberals.

People sound paranoid when they say homosexuals are trying to infiltrate and take over their church, but how can you believe anything else when you see standards tossed in the trash can so quickly when homosexuality is a factor?

That's because the heterosexual offender hasn't been excised from the Revised Episcopal Version of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11:

Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers--none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you.

You see, it's all in the eisegesis exegesis.

You're absolutely right. And fornicators of either sex cannot get into the Kingdom of God. Guess they didn't read that one.
