Yet even when the Truth was "hurtful," Jesus spoke the Truth.

Church of Mammon.
Said Archbishop obviously never read the Bible.
He is majorly wrong.
Just imagine how many souls he destroyed with those wicked comments.
I love to watch for miracles.
What this is, though, is Satan in action.
Next week, he will say ‘Please allow me to clarify. By committed relationship’, I mean one that you fully believe in, heart and soul for whatever period of time you are together, be that one lifetime, one decade, one year or one hour!”
The church no longer warns the unbeliever. The church will sanction whatever the unbeliever desires. What good is this church? How many souls will be saved from eternal death due to their teachings?
Oh, Archbishop of York fancies himself god?
I do not know nor understand the catholic religion.
There are a lot of catholics, can someone tell me why.. What is in it that draws one to catholicism?
Does one man judge your standing? And a man forgives or sets the standards?
Is it all ritual and no spirit?
Pardon my ignorance..

He's not Catholic, he's Church of England or Anglican, what we call Episcopalian in the U.S.
Exactly. The Bible is very specific about gay sex and leaves no room for alternative interpretations.
Maybe I need to buy stock In millstone production…
“what we have seen is a relentless and determined capitulation to the spirit of the age”
The world isn’t going to heaven, so follow it instead of Christ and you won’t either. Who do they think they’re fooling by implying God will just change his mind depending on what one church says?
According to the Holy Bible, ALL sex is supposed to take place within a marriage between one man and one woman.
Anything else is a sin.
None of this homosexual “tolerance” by supposed “clergy” is biblical. Period.
It seems alien to so many the rules set forth in the Bible about human behavior are in our own best interest.
Let’s see.
Homosexual sex is okay.
Sex outside marriage is fine
Drugs and drinking is a disease.
Being fat in genetic
Violence is a social construct
Killing the unborn is okay
Divorce is fine.
Why go to church or be a believer when everything once sinful and is now determined to be judgement.
(”those relationships and marriages can be acknowledged and celebrated.”)
Tagline.
Spirt of the age = spirit of the antichrist.
Also according to the Bible, you don’t need the church or the state to approve of a union “ordained by God”.
Until the Hardwicke Marriage Act, “common law” reflected that. The Quakers, of whom I’m a descendant, weren’t happy about it.
I mention this because today’s Quakers are broadly in agreement with the archbishop. Unless one can definitely prove that a union between two people WASN’T ordained by God, cribbing selective passages from the Bible in relation to fornication or sodomy misses the point completely.
Because fornication is only fornication if it involves sex outside of a marriage ORDAINED BY GOD.
If God himself ordained a monogamous union between two men or two women, churches and states have no business whatsoever putting that relationship asunder.
That’s their argument. As Father Jack Hackett wisely said, “that’ll be an ecumenical matter.”
Fwiw i know a gay couple who recently celebrated forty years in a committed monogamous relationship. Sure I think that ain’t marriage but i don’t really see what Satan gets out of two people doing no harm to anybody else, being in a committed faithful relationship. Whether they have sex with each other or not is a matter of sin, not a demonstration of wickedness.
I find it somewhat ironic that there are people in this world who pontificate about the evil of homosexuality inside committed relationships, despite themselves having the morals of an alley cat.
Like folks with a lifelong record of wickedness, adultery, child abandonment and unfaithfulness AS WELL AS using prostitutes and encouraging anal rape as a hazing exercise. Example: Vladimir Putin.
I think that’s what Jesus meant when he said “He who is without sin, cast the first stone” and all that. There’s sin, ie falling short of perfection, there’s hypocrisy, and there’s wickedness. They overlap but they aren’t the same.
I just wonder when homo sex become ok?
Yet even when the Truth was "hurtful," Jesus spoke the Truth.
Dear Church of England Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell:
The Almighty could not have made it clearer from the get go - right there prominently in the book of Genesis: “A man shall not lie with a man - that is an abomination.”
The archbishop is mightily delusional and should turn in his keys.
