The Rev. Jayne Oasin, a social justice officer for the Episcopal Church, USA., says that "to consider there to be only one truth is to me a form of oppression."

Actually, it is a fundamental belief of Christianity.

The Rev. Jayne allows the smoke of Satan to pass thru her lips.

"On Palm Sunday last weekend, for instance, parishioners heard an adapted Passion narrative that removes biblical language seen as blaming Jews for Jesus' crucifixion."

Didn't the NO Catholic's do this as well?

Proof that Satan is still out there and very much at work.

"An awful lot of what passes for orthodoxy today is something Jesus would have despised,"

You can say that again.

Did he teach 'em the secret handshake? 'Cause that would be over the top.

The non Christians leaders work 24/7/365 to remove any Christian reality from the churches they lead and are destroying.

Yet another confirmation that it was High Time we swam the Tiber . . . just when I think the Episcopalians can't possibly get any nuttier, they surprise me again.

""We don't tell people what to believe. We only encourage them to have closer contact with God."

"Who defines Christianity?"

"And Jesus said unto them, "I AM the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

That's who defines Christianity....The VERY person who started it, not anyone else. So when people say we are being intolerant, bigoted, divisive, what they're really saying is that JESUS is intolerant, bigoted, divisive because it was HE who spoke these words. We only quoted what HE stated.

"An awful lot of what passes for orthodoxy today is something Jesus would have despised," Buehrens says, noting Christian support for "imperialism and militarism."

This person should be challenged to show citations of where orthodox Christians argue that imperialism and militarism are articles of faith. People can argue prudential questions on the application of just war doctrine, but that doesn't mean that anyone is saying imperialism and militarism are orthodox teachings. These heretics are simply settting a caricature of orthodoxy.

The Gnostic writings, such as the "Gospel" of Judas, were not LOST, they were DISCARDED. The Fathers of the Church used very specific criteria in determining the Canon of the New Testament.
Don't let any of this upset you. It just goes to show that there is nothing new under the sun. People will always try to find ways to rationalize and justify their unbelief.
Have a beautiful Easter!

"Across the country, observers say, the Gospel of Judas is striking a chord with progressive Christians."

Guess I'm not a very progressive Christian.
