If it needs a debate in the first place, those people are in serious need of a heavy dose of Bible study.
I delivered to this headquarters in Garden City. N.Y. at the time. It might of Changed. But just to think this great Cathedral that is there was paid for by Conservative Christians to be built. I think from the mid 1800’s. Just a beautiful church. To think they must be rolling in there graves. What they were opposed to in life is now in there church.
Essentially these “churches” are debating whether or not they are still Christian. The fact that they are debating is a strong indication that the question was fully answered some time ago.
So, their bishop has commanded homosexual “priests” to get married to their live-in lovers “or else”? Or else what exactly? Are they really trying to imply that having sexual relations outside of marriage is wrong for either straight or gay clergy as if there is no difference??? What about the simple fact that clergy are not supposed to be living in blatant sin anyway? That clergy is SUPPOSED to be setting an example of morality?
I fear this is the beginning of the end.
(set to "The Church's One Foundation")
Our church’s one foundation
Is sensitivity
If you are seeking Jesus
This is the place to be
“Judge not lest ye be judged”
That is our only creed
If your lifestyle’s altered
We’ll meet all your felt needs
Our PowerPoints are brilliant
Thanks to the folks at Dell
We’ll take on any subject
That is, except for Hell
Our lives are full of purpose
Why don’t you come on in?
We won’t use ancient labels
Like “wickedness” and “sin”
We call ourselves authentic
(That means we cuss a ton)
We may not preach the Bible
But coffee’s always on.
Jesus, he has a message
For me as well as you
His wisdom for all seekers:
“To thine ownself be true.”
