Once again, something is missing from a news article.
What, pray tell, you say? THEIR NAMES
They open themselves up for ridicule and shame, yet article writers and posters protect these POS by not revealing their names, which they, themselves provided to be posted at the end of their letter in The Des Moines Register newspaper.
Rev. LeAnn Stubbs, United Church of Christ
Rev. Beverlee Bell, United Methodist Church
Rev. Deborah Hill-Davis, Unity Church
Rev. Erin Gingrich, Unitarian Universalist Association
Rev. Debbie Griffin, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
Rev. Rachel Thorson Mithelman, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Rev. Jean McCarthy, The Episcopal Church
I’ll give them credit for one thing. They were willing to use their names in association with their heretical beliefs.
There is a “special” place in hell for false prophets/teachers. Woe unto them.
2 Peter 2 New International Version (NIV)
False Teachers and Their Destruction
2 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
17 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.” 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”[g] and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
Do these so-called “clergy” not KNOW the bible? Can they not READ? Pity and pray for those they have ensnared into their depraved congregations.
Just a little aside...
Notice “2 Peter”, not 2nd Peter, or second Peter.
They want to disobey the Commandments?
“Thou shalt not kill.”
I guess these Lutheran, Episcopal and United Church of Christ people have fallen further than I realized.
“There you go. Pro choice = kill babies. Very sad. Rubbers are 50 cents in a bar bathroom (yeah... I’m not perfect and that’s why I know the privie has cheap rubbers). BCP are free for women. But there is no excuse, for killing a baby in the womb. NONE!!!”
Know this is the religion forum but gonna say it anyway. Condoms are sold in almost all women’s bathrooms in gas stations that I have had to use. Can I get a tampon or maxi pad (pardon me if I seem un-lady like but it is a natural woman’s function after all) no I can’t! Most gas stations have a huge vending machine in the bathrooms selling every kind of condom and K-Y jelly but a Kotex or Tampax? Not even one of those slots was open for that! Yea I’m ranting but can’t be the only female on the planet who has needed one and the only thing available was a “Trojan ribbed for her pleasure”, I’m like SHUT UP I’M PMS-ing.
To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi “Who’s the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?”
What kind of a “Christian” would stand with Unitarians?
No one is exempt from turning and looking to the right or to the left, but never so much so as now.
Ours is a time of fundamental transformation, where we easily rewrite His Law in our own image to suit our physical body's wants and needs as our egos wish it to be, thus remaking us into low hanging fruit soon spoiled.
If this time is not cut short, I definitely can see how none of us will survive it.
Agree. These female preachers refuse to read the entire Bible. We are told to not add or subtract from the Bible. They obviously have not even read the Bible.
In their zeal to be sophisticated, they’re making themselves less relevant every day, to those who truly want a relationship with Jesus.
