Gay bishop (Apostate) backs Planned Parenthood
Washington Times ^ | 4/16/2005 | Jon Ward

Posted on 04/16/2005 11:41:36 AM PDT by worldclass

"This current administration notwithstanding, the world is not black and white," Bishop Robinson said. "We need to teach people about nuance, about holding things in tension, that this can be true and that can be true, and somewhere between is the right answer. It's a very adult way of living, you know. "What an unimaginative God it would be if God only put one meaning in any verse of Scripture," he said.

This follower of Satan will be shocked to find that there is only Heaven or Hell. I don't expect to find him in Heaven.

How can any Episcopalian or Anglican of good faith want communion with this fiend?

 The Episcopal Church stated its position on abortion in a resolution during its 71st General Convention in 1994: "While we acknowledge that in this country it is the legal right of every woman to have a medically safe abortion, as Christians we believe strongly that if this right is exercised, it should be used only in extreme situations.
    "We emphatically oppose abortion as a means of birth control, family planning, sex selection, or any reason of mere convenience," the resolution states.

I suppose this means Bishop Robinson stands in his mind's eye larger and higher than any ole church.

Once more to the breech,
Dear friends, I beseech!
The Episcopal bishop harangued.
For heaven awaits,
Who broaches the nates,
And all Biblical scruples be hanged!

"In this last election we see what the ultimate result of divorce from communities of faith will do to us," New Hampshire Bishop V. Gene Robinson said during Planned Parenthood's fifth annual prayer breakfast.

So, who exactly do these folks pray to at one of these events ... Baal?

Now, this may be just some weird observation but the "good" Bishop looks weird.

I mean -- like he already has AIDS or something. Or is demonically embodied.

Same phenomenon I've noticed with friends who take up Eastern spirituality -- they start to look -- different.

On the more intellectual side of things, this Bishop elevates the "revealed" meaning of Scripture in the modern age over the what Peter said about Scripture -- that there is only one interpretation given by the Spirit.

Just like there is only ONE true God.

Not many.

Not many "gods" held in the "tension of nuance". What a creepy tongue twister. God help the true believers in Episcopalianism.

"What an unimaginative God it would be if God only put one meaning in any verse of Scripture," he said.

This guy continually sets himself up in judgement of God Almighty. You are certainly correct about the spirit of the anti-Christ. If this Robinson was some humble guy, some modest guy, some holy guy, it might be one thing, even if he was a gay as a goose. But he is not that. He is, to borrow a phrase from P.J. O'Rourke: filled to the nose holes with self-regard. He is a sodomite adulterer. He is a media whore. He is splintering the Episcopal church and he doesn't care.

Now, as a non-Episcopalian I could chuckle at this all, but it just ain't funny.

Bishop Robinson encouraged Planned Parenthood leaders to fight their opposition.

"I know, in the end, that I'm going to heaven, and so are you," he said. "You and I can do this work no matter how hard it gets, because we know we're going home."

Heaven? I suppose he is just being rhetorical, but I doubt many of his listeners caught the reference.

Isn't Robinson the same one who recently suggested Jesus might have been gay?

This is the same "bishop" who implied that Jesus was a homo. The Episcopal Church should be ashamed that they let this guy be ordained as a priest, much less a bishop.

I have been a seriously practicing Episcopalian for many Now, as a non-Episcopalian I could chuckle at this all, but it just ain't funny. years. I recently decided to convert to Catholicism due to "Bishop" Robinson and Spong, and other such heretics.

It is now clear to me why we need a Vicar of Christ --- and though the RC Church suffered many hundreds of years ago at the hands of lousy popes, recent popes such as John Paul the Great have helped me see that the Church can survive even such apostasy with their greater mission intact.
