God urging me on, says 'gay' bishop - (Filed: 20/10/2003)

The Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop-elect said yesterday that he is agonising over the turmoil his election is causing but believes God wants him to go forward.

"This is one of the hardest things I'll ever do," said the Rev Gene Robinson at Grace Church, Manchester, New Hampshire. "I do have this sense I'm supposed to go forward, and I do feel that's coming from God and not my own ego."

Rev Gene Robinson Rev Robinson was elected by clergy and parishioners in New Hampshire in June and confirmed by the national Episcopal Church in August. He is scheduled to be consecrated as bishop of New Hampshire in two weeks. His election and confirmation has outraged some conservatives and is threatening to divide the Episcopal Church in the United States and the worldwide Anglican Communion, of which it is part.

At an emergency meeting at Lambeth Palace, in London, last week Anglican leaders warned that if Rev Robinson was consecrated as planned on Nov 2, "the future of the communion itself will be put in jeopardy".

Rev Robinson, 56, who was accompanied by a police officer yesterday, remains optimistic about the Church's future, saying it has weathered similar crises in the past.

Anglican leaders, representing 77 million members worldwide, say homosexuality is "contrary to Scripture". Mr Robinson says that is outweighed by the Scripture's call for love and acceptance of all.

"You go, girl!", says God.

God urging me on, says 'gay' bishop...

This poor pervert has developed the "Benny Hinn Syndrome". God, angels, and Kathyn Kuhlman visit him at night and say: "You go, 'gay' guy! Disregard the Scriptures and do the "loving" thing.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Hmm. I'd be awfully suspicious about a sudden change in God's attitude toward homosexuality. Seems to violate the never changing part.

[Cultural Jihad]

God is calling. Necrophiliacs, please apply at Window 2. Pedophiles, at Window 3. Bestiality-aficionados, at Window 4.

[CARepubGal]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! More likely Screwtape or one of his infernal bretheren is encouraging the poofter.

[Cultural Jihad]

Exactly. God has no need to judge a thing twice.

[Taiwan Bocks]

God's urging him to read his bible, confess and repent.

Isn't this fun?

The sad part is not the homosexual deviant --he's living the bankrupt life one would expect of an unrepentant deviant, it is that there are prominent Episcopalians who are leaders in the Church (I'm an Episcopalian) that agree with this deviant demonservant! It is indicative of how far from the Gospel the Episcopal Church has strayed without a clue as to their location or direction. Can we say, "The Mystery Of Iniquity"?

[AD from SpringBay]

He is not blameless. He does not care for the office of a bishop. He is an abomination.

[concerned about politics]

but believes God wants him to go forward.

Uh...that ain't God, buddy. Look again.

[A CA Guy]

God calls it an abomination.

What he is hearing is not from God, but could be from god.

[xzins]

If we assume that God is urging this man to pose as a bishop of a Christian church after he left his wife and kids, after he started living with a man, after he admitted to a continuing homosexual relationship with that man, and after he vows that he thinks it is a perfectly moral and christian relationship, then we must....


Throw away the Bible
Throw away 2000 years of church history


Which is exactly what this man is shooting at.

His INTENT is to injure Christianity. And I think he KNOWS it.

[concerned about politics]

I do feel that's coming from God and not my own ego."

Sure. Start a war in Gods house for your own self indulgence. Oh no. That's not an ego at all - NOT!!!

[Loyalist]

Since when did God's voice sound like Mark Morford?

[Mo1]

"I do have this sense I'm supposed to go forward, and I do feel that's coming from God and not my own ego."

He is blaming God for his actions??

[byteback]

This guy is seriously misinterpreting the Temple Mount.
