Clergy who don't believe in God

Clergy and laity show signs of schism over homosexuality, miracles and the Almighty

HUNDREDS of Church of England clergy doubt the existence of God and fewer than two thirds believe in miracles, a study out today says.

The report, published on the eve of the General Synod, refers to “very fragile faultlines along which the Church of England could be torn apart”. Congregations are much more conservative than most of the comparatively liberal clergy preaching to them.

The report says that if committed Anglicans are clear about one thing it is the existence of God: 97 per cent have no hesitation in affirming His existence. Yet, it continues, one in 33 clerics doubts the existence of God. If reflected throughout the Church’s 9,000 clergy the finding would mean that nearly 300 Church of England clergy are uncertain that God exists.

True.

Though I think it's ALREADY OVER BUT THE SHOUTING IN TERMS OF

THE CERTAINTY OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENT headed by satan etc.

Certainly Soros, Billdo, Shrillery, Scuba Teddy, Puhlousy, Boxerface et al are cheering such eventualities on with every ounce of idiocy, money and blood they can offer to the satanic cause.

Sounds like they are good candidates to join the Church of Hillary Clinton. She is running around here preaching her faith, and I imagine it lines up with their beliefs quite well.

To be truthful, however, scriptures were written in the vernacular long before the Doctor Martin Luther's day, and that included English

I'll grant you that some flawed translations were around before Luther, but you had to have a lot of political clout to avoid getting burned simply for having a copy. They certainly were not available to the masses. It took a few hundred thousand Protestant corpses to pile up, before the average Joe could dare to read the Gospels on their own.

But I've been willing to forgive the Catholic Church for the 16th Century, ever since John Paul II helped kill Communism. :-)

You can get an online copy from e-sword ( Google it, but I think it is e-sword.com). Great program, and has a bunch of other stuff to download also.
