The Episcopal Church is now a cult.

No. They’re in your face now and no longer hiding the fact that they’re really atheists

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

I am all atwitter over what the POPE will do to counter this.

I am sure he can come up with something more bizarre.

He may declare the next Pope will be a Woman OR at least a man who claims he can be flexible and ‘go either way’.

I am NOT blaspheming the Pope - he took care of that a while back.

POPE: In the words of the Great R R

I mean let’s face it, God could have been a transgender, maybe gay. /s/

I wonder if our buds in islam are bending and swaying to keep up with political correctness?

Just more insanity from the church of Henry VIII. He altered the Lord’s Prayer, so why shouldn’t his theological descendants redefine God?

The Episcopal Church was taken over by sexual deviants and eco fascists a long time ago. It is a hollow shell of its former self.

The Episcopal Church might as well merge with the Unitarians.

God left us His requirement for faithful living in Revelation 22: 18,19. He will look at this bunch of free-lancers on the Great Day of Judgment and say, “I never knew you.”

This s like the Captain of the Titanic ordering water pumped into the sip after it hit the ice berg to keep it afloat.

As a private pilot from years ago this made me laugh.

I remember that God agreed to spare Sodom if there were any righteous among them at all. And it turned out, there weren’t any. He got Abraham’s kinfolk out and turned it into a smoking hole in the ground.

That’s what comes to mind when I think about these apostate churches.

We may indeed be living in the Messianic Era. However, the Piskie “church” is so moribund that it may not live to see the next page unfold. Mostly old, almost no young people, only rare baptisms to speak of and lots of deaths. Half the parishes can’t afford a full time priest, whose average age is approaching 60. And the national average Sunday attendance nationwide is lower than the average aggregate NFL attendance. Recent declines included.

So no, what ever TEC does makes no difference. They’re done.

How small are feminists brains (and the wimpy, liberal men who go along with them), that they can’t relate at all to a “Father” or male of any kind?

Re: Are they gonna start calling God, “It”.

I would not be one bit surprised if they start called God “she”.

On a different but I think related matter, every child raising, health related article or book I have read in recent years has used the pronoun “she” either exclusively when referring to a child or in a mix with the pronoun “he”. In that mix some attempt to have an even usage of both pronouns, but many primarily use “she” with a lesser usage of “he”. The concept of the universal “he” referring to both sexes is apparently taboo, but the use of the female pronoun is not.

A lot of mainstream denominations have already caved on things God says in Bible are an abomination. Sadly, those teaching scripture will be held accountable for their actions, and heresies.

God came incarnate as his son, Jesus, a man. That should not be questioned. In Genesis, he created man and woman. Nowhere is God a she or it, as I have read thru Bible many times. When we are accountable for something, so readily available, it makes sense to know what it says! My faith is strengthened every time I read scripture.

Each journey from Sin to Savior is different, and we all ‘work out are own salvation, with fear and trembling’. I grew up in southern church established by ancestors, so that basic teaching was in there, even though it took twenty years to find the reality in God, that was waiting all the time!

Youth now rarely darkens the door of a Church unless parents insist, and sadly, we see higher crime, less spiritual concern, and definitely all kinds of rebellion, that makes the last few generations seem tame! Prayer needed for American revival!

So these loonies are saying that God is a tranny? I knew this was going to happen when they legalized “medicinal” pot for “recreational” use.
