Apparently, many Episcopalians haven't read the Bible.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them

[NetValue]

"Some Christian activists expressed disappointment Tuesday over the election of the Episcopalian Church's first openly homosexual bishop."

Disappointment? Are you kidding? Outrage is more appropriate. They have endorsed the perverse abomination their God warned them against. How can they reconcile their religion's teachings with this election?

[Huber]

It would be a worthwhile FREEP to conduct a funeral service or memorial service for the church oustide our local Episcopal Churches. Anyone up for fleshing this out more? (no pun intended)

[Wilhelm Tell]

It is time for real Christians to "come out" (from among them).

[hellinahandcart]

Hopkins said the vote confirming Robinson as bishop sends a "great message" from the church that its doors are "open wide."

That's a good thing. People won't get trampled as they rush for the exit.

It's going to be a very interesting Sunday for me, I can tell you that...

[hellinahandcart]

"I think the Episcopal Church is poised on what we call a kairos moment, offering to the world a vision of a progressive, inclusive gospel, which is another step forward."

Can somebody define "kairos" for me? I'd like to know, before I jump to any hard conclusions about what this "Woman of Integrity" appears to be suggesting.

[George W. Bush]

"I think the Episcopal Church is poised on what we call a kairos moment, offering to the world a vision of a progressive, inclusive gospel, which is another step forward."

Progressive? In the sense of progressing to Sodom, I guess. Inclusive? Well, sin is no longer a problem if you just include it as a virtue. Being progressive and inclusive is political language, not Christian.

Do these people even own a Bible?

One word: APOSTASY.
(Revelations said this would happen)

I don't care whether this man has physical urges for the opposite sex or the same sex. Why? Because we are more than just our physical sensations. God made us that way. He elevated us above all other creatures on earth.

What I can't believe is that the Episcopal church is giving their blessing to open sex out of wedlock. This new bishop lives with his lover. He's not just a homosexual. He's a practicing, cohabitating homosexual. Suppose he and his lover break up. In this case I imagine it will be all right for Bishop Robinson to have sex with anyone he wishes. After all, he's not married now, and what he does is okay.

Could a heterosexual bishop who left his family to live with a female lover ever have gotten confirmed? No. This man was given special dispensation because he belongs to a subgroup of society favored by liberals.

People sound paranoid when they say homosexuals are trying to infiltrate and take over their church, but how can you believe anything else when you see standards tossed in the trash can so quickly when homosexuality is a factor?

Sad, but necessary, day, as the Apostle Paul noted in 1 Corinthians 11:18-19:

For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.
(19) For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

[DreamWeaver]

This is a complete mockery of HIS word and HIS church. The only time Jesus was angry, was about the money changers on the temple steps, so compare that to THIS. I hate to see the consequences that are coming this way. How true it is that God is patient, but I'm sure it is wearing very thin. Buckle up cause it is going to be a bumpy ride ahead for us all.

the gate just became a little more narrow

Matt 7:13-15
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

"Hopkins said the vote confirming Robinson as bishop sends a "great message" from the church that its doors are "open wide."

And apparently, the collective butt of the church body.

"The same threats of schism were all around, and in my experience as an ordained woman in this church, the ordination of women has only strengthened our ministry and enhanced our ability to proclaim the good news of God in Jesus Christ to those yearning to hear it," Russell told reporters. "I think the Episcopal Church is poised on what we call a kairos moment, offering to the world a vision of a progressive, inclusive gospel, which is another step forward."

Positive my tush. A relative of mine's behavior is worse than ever under the "leadership" of an Episcopalian woman priest"ess". And this woman did not discourage an adulterous relationship either. This church is rubbish now. Hopefully even those who just are spectators will choose this is enough for them and leave.

[jimt]

The vote by the House of Bishops had been postponed Monday following the 11th-hour allegations that Robinson had engaged in inappropriate touching with another man at a church event. An investigation was quickly launched into that charge, as well as one revolving around whether a website belonging to an organization Robinson founded for homosexual Episcopalian youth also contained a link to Internet pornography.

They dither about whether "Robinson had engaged in inappropriate touching with another man" when they already KNOW Robinson and his partner are engaging in oral and anal sodomy, fisting, rimming, etc.?

They dither about a link to porn when Robinson is running a chickenhawk website for recruiting Episcopalian youth into the homosexual lifestyle?

Do these people have any idea what a JOKE they are? How could anyone take them seriously about anything?

[mtbopfuyn]

Oh, did you hear on Fox and Friends this morning when Brian laughingly said homosexuality was the HOT thing now? E.D. at least put her head but the older guy (what's his name - don't like him anyway) was laughing and encouraging Brian to continue. I was not pleased with Brian at all.

Cancer is progressive to. Does that mean it is good for the entire body? Also does anybody know where the alimony payments come from when an Esp. priest or priestess divorces? Does the congregation with their hard earned 10% support the divorce?

It's just another milestone on the highway mapped out by those generals who march forward with the Homosexual Agenda For America tucked under their arm!

For over three decades, homosexual activists have tirelessly pursued their satanic vision of an America in which their behavior is affirmed and their critics are silenced.

The Supreme Court's ruling overturning sodomy laws opens the door to the complete triumph of the homosexual agenda -- and the end of free-speech rights for all who have faith-based objections to endorsing, funding or supporting homosexual behavior.

A six-point strategy was laid out by two homosexual leaders in the late 1980s, to radically alter America's understanding of homosexual behavior. How all six of these points are being carried out in present-day American culture.

Homosexual activists have made progress by infiltrating, influencing and intimidating people in every major power structure -- including the media, education, government, corporate America, and even the major churches.

Homosexual activists are using corporate employment policies to promote homosexual behavior -- and to stigmatize, isolate and silence employees who express opposition.

"Gay rights" legislation in many states sets severe punishments for those who do not agree with its demands while the homosexual agenda is being pushed to elementary school children, starting in kindergarten. Then there's the little-known proposal to implement a full-scale indoctrination of children to accept and affirm homosexual behavior. Unfortunately, the indoctrination in our public schools has been all too successful while liberal churches exist for little more than promoting homosexual behavior.

Homosexual propagandists have been extremely skillful in portraying anyone who opposes them as sympathetic to, or even complicit in, violence against homosexuals.

They have succeeded in "piggybacking" their agenda on legitimate causes such as equal rights for racial minorities and Hollywood helps by replacing old stereotypes with new ones that idealize homosexuals and demonize their opponents.

The fundraising power of the homosexual movement extorts money from corporations and foundations while, thanks to the Lavender Tower, homosexual behavior and its promotion have become pervasive at colleges and universities.

"Domestic partner" policies and "civil unions" are aimed at the wholesale destruction of marriage (as one influential homosexual writer actually boasted) are aimed at homosexual adoption: a devastating critique of the sloppy, poorly-documented studies that helped it gain acceptance.
