The debate about same-sex marriage and LGBT identities in the Church of England is not new, but recent insults and threats are leading to an even bigger division among Anglicans.
For years, the debate has been causing major rifts in the Anglican Communion, causing church leaders in emergent regions such as Africa and Latin America, to form Gafcon, a movement led by Global South Anglicans who hold to the biblical view and traditional teaching on human sexuality.
Calls by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to have a peaceful conversation, have again shown to be ineffective. The fact that the once-in-a-decade Lambeth conference was moved to 2022 due to the Covid-19 crisis helped to postpone the clash between conservative and liberal Primates.
But the last weeks have seen the explosion of new disputes over LGBT issues in England. It came after the launch of the Church of England's latest report: Living in Love and faith, which was presented as a document to help the internal discussion over "identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage" in the next months.

It is a horrible thing to not be able to enter into the Kingdom of God, but that is just as true of Adulterers and Drunkards. In addition, I am reminded of Matthew 23
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
If they don’t like Mere Christianity, then why don’t they just become Unitarians?
The CofE is a dead church walking. Only a few percent of Brits even belong much less attend Sunday services. Like many state Eurotrash churches it is only held together by increasingly scarce government funds.
Satan has been working constantly and successfully to deceive more and more people, and turn them from God, His Word and truth.
Satan must really love TV, the Internet and smart phones — they have expanded his influence vastly for the last seven decades.
We are on the brink of a good vs. evil hot war, I believe.

Hardly surprising..
“Interestingly, negative attitudes towards Muslim or Jews are not related to supporting the rights of sexual minorities. The Muslim result is of particular interest, since there is no reason why we should believe that Muslims would be any more supportive of the rights of sexual minorities than conservative Christians. My results demonstrate a unique phenomenon among respondents who do not like conservative Christians.”
This shows the true nature of the spiritual war at work. Christianity is hated, but Islam and Judaism, not so much.
When all the guns are pointed at the Christians, you have to wonder why? Who is pulling the strings on the puppets aiming their guns?
Satan loves technology. It makes his job so much easier to lie and make fools believe his lies.
The Cavaliers are still opposed to the Puritans.
2 Peter 2:2–3 (ESV): And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
To a liberal, the only sin is calling sin a sin. The night comes, where no man can work.
Expect to see more and stronger attacks on the church both from within and without. As the socialist state gains more power over your freedom and behavior the only thing standing in their way over control of your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes will be the church. I have always been skeptical about the end times crowd but it’s hard to deny that the things we see happening today are lining up more and more with prophecy.
