H. Richard Niebuhr indicted liberal Protestantism for teaching "a God without wrath who brings humans without sin into a kingdom without judgment through a Christ without a cross."

If God is without wrath and this blasphemous abomination is "a small taste of what heaven must be like" I'd rather go to Hell.

[lightman]

Hurl alert!

[SuzyQue]

That's a great Niebuhr quote.

"This is a small taste of what heaven must be like," said the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson

Too bad you're going to the other place.

I can't believe I am reading this. This is Bizzaro world.

COLUMBUS, OHIO (6/16/06)-Over 1,000 homosexual and pro-homosexual clergy, bishops, and laymen of the Episcopal Church celebrated Eucharist Friday evening at Trinity Episcopal Church, just blocks from the site of the 75th Episcopal General Convention. And in the end times, right will be presented as wrong, up as down, and evil will strut about the planet protected and praised as enlightenment.

"The Spirit of God is that part of God which refuses to be contained...God won't just stay put, and God won't let you and me stay put, content to believe the things we've always believed," said Robinson.

Hebrews 13:8 (King James Version)

8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Numbers 23:19 (New International Version)

19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.

James 1:17 (New International Version)

17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

"Remember how we used to think of ourselves, that we believed the church when we were told we were abominations."

Leviticus 18:22

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Romans 1:27 (New International Version)

27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Revelation 21:8 (New King James Version)

8 But the cowardly, unbelieving,[a] abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

It is my belief that the candlestick can be removed from a church by our Lord.

For a church willfully to declare good to be evil and evil to be good is cause for one to say "There is no light there; and the light that is there is darkness."

The removal of the candlestick would logically follow.

"When the unbelieving depart....they are no longer BOUND."

I am no prophet, but regard for the justice involved in doing this over the table of the Lord -- wrongfully/hurtfully receiving our sacrificed Lord -- says that the injustice will be remedied. The removal of the candlestick.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

If God is without wrath and this blasphemous abomination is "a small taste of what heaven must be like" I'd rather go to Hell.

That's it. They're describing the anti-heaven, or hell. They are the anti-church with the spirit of the anti-christ headed for anti-heaven.

"This is a small taste of what heaven must be like," said the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Bishop of New Hampshire, as he began his sermon to the prolonged cheers of the adoring congregation. Then Robinson was brought to tears as he thanked his homosexual partner Mark, three years after the Episcopal Convention at which Robinson's election as bishop was affirmed.

This is bringing tears to my eyes reading such blasphemy!

I don't know how this man can look in the mirror. He's a total Narcissist who seems to care little about God or the chaos that he has caused in the Episcopalian church.

[aberaussie]

Wonder if our bishop attended.

[D-fendr]

Surprised they didn't chant: "We're here, we're queer and we're in your face."

[RebelBanker]

I think this quote from the article is quite profound:
In a Good Friday Sermon about Isaiah 53 that Philander Chase preached as a young man, he criticized those who disregarded the truth of the Bible in his day. "If the mere assertions, (of people, who talk much but read little, and think still less,) are to be the grounds of our exploding truths, and of giving up our belief in matters of the highest importance, which have been examined and credited by the wisest of men, Where shall we end?"

Bishop Chase, if he were to return to his old Trinity Church for Eucharist this evening, would find there the answer to his question. For there the Episcopal Church may have had its end.

The Sodomites are surely going to force a schism, as the rest of the Anglican world abhors their joy in abomination.

[Miss Marple]

And I am sure that they have lawyers ready to take over the property and trust funds when the schism happens. They are trying to drive traditional people out so that they can get their mitts on the real estate and money.

They are thieves, in addition to everything else objectionable about them.

[lightman]

It certainly looks as though we are headed back to the catacombs.

[Miss Marple]

At one time I considered the Episcopal Church. The increase in such behavior as this is one reason I scratched them off my list. I am now a Catholic.

I can't imagine how the Anglicans will be able to keep the American Church in communion after this (plus the election of that woman bishop as head of the church).

Definitely a schism is coming. I do think, however, that the primary motivation is to grab the property, and secondarily attention and a desire to make us all admit that they are normal (which they are not).

No, I believe the Churches (ECUSA, ELCA, PCUSA for now) are being USED in the most degrading sense of that word in order to advance the homophiles real agenda, which is obtaining property, inheritance, and insurance rights. The ultimate sanction against their behavior is sin, so if the definition of sin is distorted so that evil is called "good"; why should state laws need to stand in the way of obtaining these "rights". By that logic the gay agenda becomes a "justice" issue and is compared favorably with MLK and the struggle for desegregation and voting rights.

[RebelBanker]

I am very much afraid you are correct, Miss M. and I quite agree with your characterization. I am doing what little I can to keep the ELCA from following the ECUSA down the path of apostasy, but it really is a tough fight.

Our little Lutheran church shares a cemetery with a UCC church next door and they are in a world of hurt lately. Our cemetery committee can not even get a representative from the UCC to show up to meetings, so they are forced to do what they must and send certified letters to notify the other church.

BTW, I really like your profile page!

[Miss Marple]

I need to work on that page...by now it's probably mostly red x's. I haven't added anything to it for a couple of years.
