The technical term is, I believe, "compensation delusion."
The fantasy that ALL famous figures in history were homosexual attempts to validate the orientation as not only normal but "exceptional" and something to be "desired." A slightly schizoid variation of the childhood theme "I'm better than you are."

Is nothing sacred to the so-called radical 'gay right's lobby?

"So, basically, what he's saying is he doesn't know anything about Jesus."

Unfortunately that's pretty obvious, compounded by his statement that he's looking for ways to interpret scripture to support his ways.

It seems like this is not as strict a requirement as it once was in some denominations.

This nutjob isn't a Christian...why did they make him a bishop

Well, that's not a problem as the ECUSA is not Christian either, they seem to have as much right to be called a church as the church of scientology.

I guess just like the US Constitution, the Bible is a "living document" subject to the whims and changes of who ever happens to be reading/interpreting it. I don't understand why they feel the need to sexualize Him. He didn't come here to be the Dr. Ruth of the new milleneum, He had much more important things to do and it's pretty obvious people already knew how to have sex. Besides, there were plenty of women in His ministry, I don't think his choices would have been limited to 12 guys. What an idiot.

Yeah, but gay clergy has been around all along, I mean all the abuse throughout the world. And I'll bet ten times that number of clergy are gay, they just don't abuse anyone.

Seems to be the qualification for being inducted into the priesthood in the Anglican/Episcopalian church these days!

The wicked men of Sodom attempted a homosexual rape of two messengers from God who had come to visit Lot. As a result of this and other widespread wickedness, God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in a storm of fire and brimstone.

If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus 20:13)

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. ( 1st Corinthians 6:9-11)


They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-- who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. ( Romans 1:25-27)

Just a few places in the Bible that mention
homosexuality..What is so scary to me is this Gene Robinson, is being allowed to preach to people about God and he is making up his stories to suit his own filthy belief.

He's attempting to pervert Jesus to justify his own perversion.

BINGO!

Fags like to think of millions of people in the world sharing their life-style [a.k.a. death-style] in the hope that it somehow validates their behavior. The fag death-style does not validate their behavior, but only proves that they are spiritually dead and destined for the pit.

HEAR! HEAR!

In Romans 1:24-27. "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, "to dishounour their own bodies "between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet."

So this bishop who claimer's to believe that Jesus is the Christ God really believes that God must have been taken out of context. God didn't really mean that the homosexual is an abomination in His eyes. Any religious man or women that believe God thinks practicing homosexuality is ok are not a part of Gods family. Amen.

Except that the "church of scientology" is at least consistent with their book.

What a nut! When I read lunacy like this I'm so glad the Catholics had a strong, conservative pope for the past twenty-odd years. Hope they get another.

Like the devil can do anything - HE's PARALYZED!!!!

Satan may have already lost the big battle - Jesus told us he was already condemned, but don't rest too easy about Satan being ineffectual. God allows Satan to reign on Earth and force us to make a choice. God will not let Satan actively kill us, but He allows the evil one to influence others through evil whispers and lies. Gene Robinson just happens to be one of Satan's willing minions and is helping to fulfil the prophesy that the churches will become apostate during the end times.
