Dyslexia is a big problem in the Episcopal clergy, is it?

No bible that I have seen or read approves of homosexual activity. Everywhere it is mentioned it is identified with an a abomination in the eyes of the LORD. Amen. She must have a homosexual version of a book, certainly not a Bible. Amen.

remember that Paul refers to deaconesses

You might want to say *where* he refers to them.

The result of modern Biblical scholarship, which denies the authority of the very Scriptures they study.

Though I'd much rather these kinds of pings got called what they are: Episcopalian pings.

The ping list is named for the intended audience. Believe me, if there were more news from within the Continuum, I'd be posting it.

"Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

AIDS?

Could be. But considering AIDS is killing far more heterosexuals than gays worldwide, one would have to conclude the judgment crosses boundaries.

Including the fact that millions of children have AIDS in Africa, and one of the lowest risk groups happens to be lesbians. Ironic isn't it.

Unfortunately for these Episcopal apostates, everywhere in the Bible homosexuality is mentioned it is condemned, and nowhere is it ever condoned.

Sounds like these people never read the Book of Lot and what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Presiding Bishop-elect of the Episcopal Church said she ...

The literal Greek is Diaconis which also means a worker or servant. A deaconess is the wife of a deacon (1 Tim 3)

Don't you know?

God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their "inhospitality" to strangers.

Believe it or not this is actually the "gay-Christian" theology on this topic.

#55. I think you had better read Genesis Chapters 18 & 19 all over again. Especially Genesis Chapter 19. Inhospitality was not the reason Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed.

Start with Genesis Chapter 19 verse 4.

Uh, I think you better read my post over again.
All the way to the end this time.

I was mocking the "gay Christian" argument on this topic, NOT defending it.

Well, we both know, Sodom and Gommorrah was destroyed because it was EVIL. Not because of inhospitality.

And if Lot's wife had listened to him, and not looked back on Sodom and Gommorrah as she did, disobeying God's word, she would not have been turned into a pillar of salt.

Anyone's who's debated "gay Christians" on this issue know how weak and lame their argument is.

Biblically there is no question as to the condemnation of homosexaulity in this passage.
