Chairman Xi is having the Bible rewritten for the edification of Chinese Christians to reflect the divine reality that Chinese rulers must be obeyed in all things.

...“ Jesus said absolutely nothing about homosexuality”

Even more foundational, there is no Biblical justification for the ordination of women.

When you literally define your person by what you do with your crotch you cannot be right and God-fearing.

Jesus didn't talk about homosexuality, but He did talk about marriage -- a lot.

Sometimes it's necessary not just to look up Biblical keywords, but to apply Biblical principles.

Jesus said absolutely nothing about homosexuality,

He didn’t specifically mention a host of sins: he already had Leviticus and the whole of Jewish law that condemned other sins and homosexuality.

But what He did say repeatedly was “Go and sin no more.”

I would say she was the poster child for mental illness. However, it is more likely that she is just plain wicked.

Jesus (God) has already spoken. God does not contradict himself, and his judgment against sodomite behavior still stands. Sodom and Gomorrah are an example for us today. See Jude :6,7 (NT).

The wrath of God is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. See Romans 1:18. Homo behavior is ungodly and unrighteous and deserving of God’s wrath. These filthy dreamers, as the Bible calls them in Jude :8, are destined for the eternal fire, that is, the lake of fire. See Rev 20:14,15.

Amen. (Greek for the wish “may it be.”)

No, Satan is just beating on a long-dead horse. I left that cult 22 years ago and never looked back.

The Constitution won’t last for an eternity like their pain and misery will.

People are not worshiping God in these churches..they are worshiping homos.

Here’s a hint: if an organization is “struggling” how to best accommodate a constituency that celebrates sinfulness as their defining attribute, it ain’t a Christian organization. A Christian organization would be ministering to those struggling to overcome their sinful impulses.

Not the first lesbian bishop in that church by any means, just the first for that particular diocese. Soon they will all be lesbians.

Note that they specify the first female lesbian. Because males can be lesbians too, right? /sarc

Being lead by someone who lives openly in defiance of The faith....

Tells you all you need to know about that denomination.

There is no reading of the Bible where you can come away from it believing God condones homosexuality.

We are all sinners, but if you live in unrepentant sin, which this woman clearly is.. you have no business leading any church.

You are free to live your life, and even worship as you see fit, but you are utterly unfit to teach the word of God when you willfully and unrepentantly live in a manner that refuses it.

No big deal. Gay men have been Bishops in the Catholic Church for centuries.
