Eliminate sin by defining nothing as sin. Satan must be very satisfied.

Mix just enough truth with damnable lies and gullible people are dying to drink it.

She's right. Homosexuality (i.e. attraction to members of the same sex) is not a sin.

The sin is sodomy.

In the absence of a universally accepted proof, all beliefs are relative.

"She's right. Homosexuality (i.e. attraction to members of the same sex) is not a sin."

I suppose that is correct. I am attracted to sin. I may not ACT on that impulse and I SHOULD pray to have that inward desire removed.I may want to eat of the tree of Good and Evil but as long as I eschew I did not sin.

"The Bible has a great deal to teach us about how to live as human beings. The Bible does not have so much to teach us about what sorts of food to eat, what sorts of clothes to wear -- there are rules in the Bible about those that we don't observe today," she said.

So much for the "inspired word of God"

(Interviewed on CNN, Jefferts Schori was asked if it was a sin to be homosexual.

"I don't believe so. I believe that God creates us with different gifts.)


1) Apparantly one of those gifts is for certain guys to place their genitals into the rectal orifice of another guy.

2) If she doesn't think it's a sin I suggest she re-read her Bible. Or is that dusty old book just mean't as "guidelines" to ECUSA?

If she didn't have a cow before, she's not going to have one now. She's like all the other brain dead Christians sitting in the pews of these apostate churches.

Again, these are the churches belonging to the NCC:

• African Methodist Episcopal Church

• The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church

• Alliance of Baptists

• American Baptist Churches in the USA

• The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America

• Diocese of the Armenian Church of America

• Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

• Christian Methodist Episcopal Church

• Church of the Brethren

• The Coptic Orthodox Church in North America

• The Episcopal Church

• Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

• Friends United Meeting

• Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America

• Hungarian Reformed Church in America

• International Council of Community Churches

• Korean Presbyterian Church in America

• Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church

• Mar Thoma Church

• Moravian Church in America Northern Province and Southern Province

• National Baptist Convention of America

• National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc.

• National Missionary Baptist Convention of America

• Orthodox Church in America

• Patriarchal Parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in the USA

• Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends • Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

• Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc.

• Reformed Church in America

• Serbian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A. and Canada

• The Swedenborgian Church

• Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch

• Ukrainian Orthodox Church of America

• United Church of Christ

• The United Methodist Church

I wonder if she thinks there's such a thing as adultery.

How embarassing for Episcopalians.

There is one such church in our neighborhood, the building and grounds are rather large, Sunday services have 10 -15 cars in the parking lot.
