And whom does the Anglican Church influence? They do not preach morality, but diversity. They do not teach justice, but whatever feels good. They do not teach G-d, but the anglican church. At best, they have buildings where people can get out of the rain and feel holy....but it is not just the Anglican church, but many other useless buildings.
BRILLIANT!
Excellent article, especially the part that starts with: “Certain acts, attitudes and actions were wrong and while we might fail and fall, they thought, the church was somewhere out there to remind us what was right.”
Too many churches are conforming to culture, instead of teaching that we are to conform to what God has to say on certain matters. With these compromised teachings, liberals churches are aiding and abetting people to commit sin.
Isn’t it? My seventh grade teacher introduced us to Chaucer back in the 1960s. He even made us memorize the introduction to the Canterbury Tales. I suppose that isn’t taught any more...
I love Christianity, but find very little of it in today’s liberal denominations.
Maybe that’s because the libs have the attitude that the organization/government is to be supported and loved to the detriment or destruction of the faith or precepts that brought it into existence.
...and since the libs control the church, then they get to play at god while they defame the real thing. Same thing applies to governments that they control.
Even without a formally organized church, I’m doing a lot of praying about where these turkeys are trying to take us. Especially for the sake of my children and grandkids.
Archbishop Langton was a devoted Scriptural scholar (the first person to divide the Bible into defined chapters), and his Magna Carta showed the impact of a Judeo-Christian sense of justice.
This document marked a turning point in English history, and ultimately formed a foundation for American Constitutional law. The Magna Carta stated, "No free man shall be arrested or imprisoned or disseised [property taken] or outlawed or exiled or in any way victimized, neither will we attack him or send anyone to attack him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."
So: nobody is above the law, not even the King; and the traditional liberties of Britons are never to be abrogated, not even by the King's men.
Britain must not yield one inch to Shari'a, but on the contrary, any immigrant from India or Pakistan who wishes to remain in Britain, must learn to love, embrace, and defend the British heritage of the rule of law.
