Ol' Gene's got it all figured out.
After giving this advice did the “bishop” proceed to step up to the altar and fornicate with his latest “hot young thing”?
Oh Yeah, right, go right ahead and drink the Koolaid and watch another denomination vanish on the ash-heap of history.
“And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck”
Mark 9:42
Genie ought to mind its own darned business.
There was a time that I had a great respect for the Episcopal church. That was a time when there were two Episcopal churches, a northern one and a southern one. The southern one was convinced to join the northern one and within 20 years you have gay bishops. How many times are southerners going to be fooled into accepting immorality based on moral pledges of unity?
Another church destroyed. Faggots from within. The usual method.
The homoagendist selective use of the Bible is a crime.
Yes God loves you.
God also hates your sin.
Seems you leave that part out all the time.
Ping...So, I wonder if this UMC congregation will be taking investment advice from Bernie Madoff?
God will not be mocked, Vicky Gene Robinson.
Gene is out to destroy another denomination. Next we’ll see him invited to ELCA meets
Paul was well aware of homosexual orientation only he call it "vile affections". They are the same thing and Paul condemned it.
Only, if you press the issue you’ll find that there is NO sexual ethic to “preachers” like Robinson. If you can’t preach against same-sex “partnering” then there is little sexual behavior that cannot be condemned.
When I told him we would be leaving the church unless it condemned the actions of the Convention that elected Robinson, he said that homosexuality was acceptable to him when there was a long-term, committed relationship.
I then asked him to define "long-term" and "committed" and to tell me a what point does a homosexual relationship change from short-term fling to long-term, committed. While he was grasping at straws and stammering to explain, I then told him to substitute the word homosexual with thief and tell me how acceptable it would be to him to have a church treasurer being in a "long-term, committed" life as an embezzler.
My last words to him as he continued to babble were, "Bull$hit!"
In addition: One of his rationalizations was the Episcopal Church having formerly forbidden women from entering the priesthood and now they were allowed to do so. His words to me were, "Surely you don't think women should be excluded from the priesthood do you?"
My response, "I think you should apologize to every woman for that remark as you just equated being a female to living a sinful life."
The homosexual lobby is completely undermining the Christian churches. We have the lavender mafia and the others have overt, outspoken representatives advocating immorality.
I wonder if this is the beast that is seen in one vision that approaches the altar.
