Apostate Churches
The American Conservative ^ | 06-25-2019 | Rod Dreher

It’s a common thing on the Right to point to loony-leftism in churches and go, “Ha-ha, look at the crazy people!” But this calls up a more serious response, because it’s not just some fringe parish, but an Anglican cathedral:

Rev. Bingo Allison? That would be the same ordained Anglican deacon who says here that he is a married father of three who aspires to ordination, and who recently celebrated this on his Tumblr, and who said there that Christian theology is “a fundmentally queer enterprise because it also challenges and deconstructs”:

How is a Christian church that gives disturbed people like this a platform of honor to spread their destructive theories not apostate? Rev. Bingo believes in teaching little children that there is no such thing as boys and girls — and Rev. Bingo believes that this is Christian. Does the clergy at the Newcastle Cathedral? Do they even believe in Christianity?

Then again, the Church of England is now drafting a liturgy to celebrate gender transition. What if a vicar refuses to participate in that sham? Will he be kicked out? Will he be considered apostate by the C of E, or just heretical?

Here is a video from the Newcastle Cathedral’s website introducing the Cathedral to the public. It’s a well done three-minute production, one that highlights the aesthetic beauty of the place, and invites people to come be part of the Cathedral community. Watch the entire thing. You know which two words you will not hear in it? “God” and “Jesus”:

1 Corinthians 16:22: If anyone does not love our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema.

Why would anyone be surprised that the heretical church founded by the decadent and hedonistic Henry VIII has such people as “clergy”. What decent person in their right mind would attend services at such a place? This is what passes for moral authority in today’s bizarre England.

Everyone has thorns of the flesh of some kind
Same sex attraction is but one of many
IMHO, It is the battle against them that begins teaching spiritual warfare.

The Apostle Paul on the subject
2 Corinthians 12:7-9

How can we learn to battle Princes And Principalities
Until we have faced our own personal daemons?

We must stand aginst the dragons within before we can face those without.
Even if it’s a life long effort.

Surrendering to the Thorns of the Flesh profoundly weakens us.
There is no honor in an alcoholic falling into a drunken stupor
There is no honor in a pedophile accosting a child
There is no honor in failing in battle against any deadly sin

Honoring the thorns, or worse, being proud of them, is a horrible error
An even greater error is to teach others that is
good, wise, and to be commended to fall

Having the thorn of same sex attraction is
a cross to be born, a dragon to be slain
falling into it’s error, without repentance, is wrong. worse,
honoring it, teaching that it is good, wise, or to be commended
Is an abomination.

One cannot enter into the Kingdom of God, it is written.

Christians really don’t understand what is going on.
You are being laughed at.
This is a highly organized, heavily financed effort to destroy religion from the inside.

The goal is to destroy the Bible Belt voting block.
Once it is done, everyone of these religious groups is going to collapse.

The only way to fight it is to walk up to the Pastor or the ruling Org and say:
“I’m leaving and taking my money with me...nothing you can say or do will change my mind”

“For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,

And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.”

(New Testament, Romans 1:26,27)

The only way they can believe this is to ignore Scripture.

They have truly been deceived and what is worse...they are deceiving others.

“the heretical church founded by the decadent and hedonistic Henry VIII”

The heretical church was fine while Sola Scriptura applied. And it is the same principle that condemns that church when it strays.

The CofE has been a state church, governed by act of Parliament since its inception (by, you guessed it, act of Parliament).

As long as the state is somewhat faithful to Scripture, they could pretend to be sola scriptura. But when the state ceases to be faithful to Scripture, the mask comes off and it's clear that the state is the only real authority, as it has always been.
