In August of 2001 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) estabalished a "Full Communion Partnership" with The Episcopal Church through the adoption of "Called to Common Mission".

Therefore:



Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Be rooted in Christ!

Let us not forget this person left his wife and kids to “marry” a male person then divorced. He has zero moral authority over a street hustler.

Serving other gods.

Deu 12:31  Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. 
Deu 12:32  What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Homofascists are militant antiChristians.

>Karslake’s new film “For They Know Not What They Do” was the starting point for discussion, with Karslake and Robinson noting tensions parents face when a child “comes out” as LGBTQ within a non-affirming community. Fear at the loss of community, status, and friends is almost as daunting for parents as it is for a child “especially,” Karslake argued, “when faith is in the mix.”

Bet YouRube doesn’t ban this film as they do the one about Mohammed.

Episcopals aren’t Christians. It’s a gay cult. The Church of the High Holy Anus and Sainted Rectal Prolapse.

They should wear “pink sock” pins to identify themselves.

...In August 2008, (Obama) told Southern California megachurch Pastor Rick Warren his definition of marriage: “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”

He later added: “I am not somebody who promotes same-sex marriage, but I do believe in civil unions.”

Wow, what a twisting these heretics go through.

Pride is the first sin and, these folks can’t even understand that.

And....we haven’t lost the gay thing, they have...they just don’t believe it.

Gene Robinson says he believes in Christ and is saved by Grace. We must respect what he is teaching and not say anything contrary to what he preaches because again, he believes in Christ no matter what his degenerate unrepentant works produce which includes leaving his wife and children to embrace a sexual fetish lifestyle that is centered on sexual practices with othther males. I mean it’s like Jesus never stated Matthew 18: 15-18 where two already gathered in His name were given the OK to dictate loosed on earth will be loosed in Heaven for those refusing to repent /s.

Gene Robinson is a self-absorbed sociopathic drunk.

And that description explains everything you need to know about him.

Well, he’s right about one thing: the “religion of peace” was definitely behind the Pulse shooting in Orlando.

Some things just need to be discriminated against and homosexuality is definitely one of these.

Our friend V. Gene Robinson is upping the ante here (not that it matters now-or ever did, anyway-but the "V" stands for Vicky). Turns out that accepting "the gay thing" is no longer sufficient for me to be considered palatable as a Christian. I have several layers of deviancy to catch up with before receiving the stamp of approval from his holiness or whatever Lutherans call their emeritus clergy.
Well, against all expectations, bishop Robinson said something that's actually true. In stressing that "Christians" have not compromised sufficiently with the truth, he said "conservative Christians uncritically parrot false conceptions of love that their churches teach. Mantras like “hate the sin but not the sinner." Most churches do indeed teach that; and, yes, that is a false doctrine. Thus far we agree.

As someone who does not let a year go by without reading every word of the Bible at least once, I will declare that expression is not found in the authorized version or any version I'm familiar with. Of course, if you conflate unrelated passages, some very peculiar doctrines can be cobbled together that are clearly contrary to the will of God, but as such it's not biblical. Now, here's a seldom quoted verse that does appear. In Psalm 15, describing the one who shall be saved, king David said in verse 4, "In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord" (NKJV).

So Mr. Robinson can continue down the rabbit hole of perversion all he wants. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
