Homosexuals Must No Longer Be Chaste in Order to Lead Godly Lives, [Church of England] Bishop of London Says
Anglican Ink ^ | 1/21/23 | George Conger

Posted on 01/25/2023 6:55:04 PM PST by marshmallow

Editor’s note: At the Friday 20 January 2023 press conference in London held to announce the House of Bishops recommendations on the Living in Love and Fellowship process, the Bishop of London, the Rt. Hon and Rt. Rev. Sarah Mullaly was asked by a reporter: “gay Christians have been asking: ‘if we can have a civil marriage, come to church and have that relationship blessed, are we still expected by the church to remain celibate?’ Or is it now understood if the marriage is blessed, and sex should take place within the marriage, then gay couples are allowed to express themselves sexually as well?”

The Bishop of London replied I part: “I recognize it’s a question that many, many are proposing. I think that what we recognize is that within the College of Bishops, there will be a range of views that are held on that.

“What we’re doing is proposing prayers for people as a stage of their relationship. And within that relationship, and we’re specifically saying it is a faithful, lifelong relationship between two people.

“One thing I have learned through listening is that there is a whole range of ways in which people will express that relationship. Some will be sexual, some will not, some will be friendship, and some will be sexual. And so the prayers are there that can be offered. And I think that the way they will be used is there will be a range of ways in which they will be used in that.

I’m 100% certain Jesus made statements against such behavior.

If a supposed Christian church isn’t going to follow one of the most straight forward statements by Jesus...

then it’s OBVIOUSLY not a Christian church after all.

Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

It seems like God has been changing his mind a lot lately.

I guess it just depends on WHICH god you worship.

I believe He used the word “abomination “.

Not a lot of interpretive wiggle room, there.

... said the Bishop.

Sounds like he is performing rhetorical backflips just to avoid plainly stating, "Yes, gay men who have married each other are welcome to sodomize each other! And the Church will be happy to bless that!"

Depends on the god the so-called Bishop embraces. His god is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Possibly the so-called Bishop embraces one or more of the ancient gods promoting homosexuality.

If you have any Christian conviction, it is way past time to leave the Church of England it has become anathema!

Who are they fooling? Homosexuals don’t just have sex with their own “chosen partner,” but virtually every homosexual has a Grindr, or some other hookup app, account to locate anonymous sexual partners constantly.

Once you agree to accept the claim that there is no essential difference between various forms of LGBTQI+ “marriage” and traditional heterosexual marriage, all that the “Right Honorable” and “Right Reverend” cleric announced flows logically.

This is why instructors in formal logic warn students that, depending on how the claims being evaluated are structured, formal analysis may produce a conclusion that is perfectly logical but unsound. Unsound meaning the logically valid conclusion doesn’t correspond with reality.
