Gives credence to Ann Coulter's book GODLESS. We are truly living in the last days.

Here's a little snip from the VirtueOnline story....

"Judy Mayo from the Diocese of Fort Worth also opposed discharge. "My friends, this is a church convention, and this is the very essence of our faith. This may be the most important thing we deal with at this entire convention...Surely we can say together that Jesus Christ is Lord. And if we can't, we have no reason to be here."

But liberals outnumbered Hubbard, Harman, and Mayo by far.

The Rev. McDowell of the Diocese of North Carolina told VirtueOnline after the floor vote, "In the Episcopal Church we don't do up and down votes on Jesus Christ as Lord, and to do so is potentially a mean-spirited approach, to ask questions that aren't meant to be questions."

McDowell explained that how one lives his life is the more important issue than whether one affirms Jesus as Lord. To place a statement of belief over actions is the essence of "self-righteousness," he said. "Actions speak louder than proclamations...What Jesus calls us to do is to live our lives.""

Mr. McDowell, meet your friend satan. It's hot down here but we'll see that you are duly entertained. Lots of your parishioners are enjoying our hot springs. How sad.

Pelagianism is the besetting sin of the Church of England and her children.

But the danger of it used to be held firmly in check because Reason wasn't the only leg to the Anglican theological stool. There was also Scripture and Tradition. The current Episcopalians have sawed those two legs off.

Of course, they brought back the nice vestments, once orthodox clergy were shown the doors.

I'm speechless! When I do gain my voice, I will be praying for McDowell and others who hold that view.

Sounds to me like this guy is more interested in 'living his life' as he sees fit instead of seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness first.

How can you have one without the other?

How "self-righteous" of God to pretend to have the authority to decide how things are.
