Ah, the fruit of ordained homosexual clergy: physical and theological molestation

From World Net Daily:
Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly homosexual bishop of his denomination, has angered traditionalist Anglicans by suggesting that Jesus Christ might have been homosexual.

Robinson, who left his wife – and mother of his two daughters – to cohabit with his male lover, Mark, made his inflammatory remarks during an address titled, "Homosexuality and the Body of Christ: Is There a New Way?" at Christ Church of Hamilton and Wenham, Massachusetts. The bishop was asked by a congregant how Christians could both accept homosexuality and the Bible's emphasis on redemption for sins.

"Interestingly enough, in this day of traditional family values," answered Robinson, "this man that we follow was single, as far as we know, traveled with a bunch of men, had a disciple who was known as 'the one whom Jesus loved' and said my family is not my mother and father, my family is those who do the will of God. None of us likes those harsh words. That's who Jesus is, that's who he was at heart, in his earthly life.

"Those who would posit the nuclear family as the be all and end all of God's creation probably don't find that much in the gospels to support it," he concluded.

This is Satanic. Period. End of story. I hope conservative Lutherans take a stand against this train of throught...

How can anyone that reads The Bible think that God approves of homosexuality. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow..HE DOES NOT CHANGE.

I was unaware that Mr. Robinson committed adultery, that shows his character, what fruit has he bore?

"This is Satanic."

I don't know if it's satanic, but it's lousy biblical interpretation. It's an enormous mistake for people to interpret Jesus's instructions to the apostles - who were commissioned as traveling missionaries - as universal injunctions for all believers.

Satanic is right! Well, actually, it's LEFT and if Lutherans and Episcopalians are smart, they'll LEAVE.
