**Interesting that it be post #69 ok, I have dirty mind....:0)**

I was hoping you wouldn't notice the number...I hate it when that happens. Kinda like the number 666 too. ugh. lol

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Then why do you belong to the National Council of Churches?

[kattracks]

Maybe a "wedding ceremony" for the new bishop and his companion?

[RussianConservative]

I thought adulterer only if married person commit sex with someone else, none married just permiscious.

[wjcsux]

No, Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). The PC USA supports almost every far-left cause there is.

[RussianConservative]

Whether Orthodox Church belong or not is not issue, Council of Churchs is think tank, it not set Orthodox Dogma or Policy. Try doing bit of research before maliegning 300 million Christians with ignorance.

"I suspect that before too very long, other denominations will also follow and welcome openly gay and lesbian people into leadership positions. That's my prayer," Gene Robinson told ABC television on Wednesday.

I bet his boss, Beezlebub, is beaming with pride right now.

Thanks, Matchett, and thanks for your original post.

But, doesn't the Bible command us not to divorce, and if we do divorce, we are not to enter into sexual relations with anyone? Because this is then committing adultery against your spouse, further damaging the union that God witnessed between the two of you?

Isn't this the reason why it is said, what God has joined together, let no man put asunder?

I shouldn't have quoted the entire chapter because I wasn't sure who the "they" are, pagans? apostates? people in general?

I'll concede that monogamy doesn't work very well, but there are cases where the men interpret the rules, and women follow them more sincerely than the men. Many a man had a godly wife who kept him in line.

As to whether women are more prone to lesbianism than men to homosexuality, I don't have an opinion on that. A lot of the homosexual men are very attractive, where all the lesbians I have known are unattractive. Also, it seems to me that both prey on both to validate their unwise choices and to recruit. There are confused, hurting women who more easily fall prey to seduction by lesbians than if they had a satisfactory heterosexual relationship.

Maybe they used to keep things like this quiet better, but it seem that the proportion of gays to straights in our society is increasing.

I don't like to think that polygamy was a lesser evil because women had no rights back in those days and few women really like to have to share a man, just as men seem to want a women who is faithful. I would have hated polygamy and having to service a man who spread his seed around.

Remember, Jesus told us that "in the beginning it was not so", and sought to return marriage to its intended state; i.e., between one man and one woman.

Hence I view polygamy and all the other gamies as social constructs rather than fulfilling the ideal for men and women.

Actually, I think much of "Rapture Theology" is based in 1 Thessalonians:

1 Thessalonians 4

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

I'm not saying this "proves" the Rapture. But I do think these verses state more explicitly something that really does not occur in Revelation.

meow hiss spit!

[RussianConservative]

The old church..aka Orthodox Church allows divorce as last resort for marriage, after extensive council. Catholic change this, along with change of parish priests not allowed to marry. Issue was not divorce though but definition of adultry. If one not married or never married then how one adulterer?

My prayer is that this fudge-packin' bastard is run out of New Hampshire on a spiny rail!

[ChocChipCookie]

No, the Southern Baptists will never place gays in leadership positions, but that won't stop the perverts from a never-ending campaign of harassment against them.

[wimpycat]

But he's only second best - because he cannot win.

True, very true. But I meant to say he's the best there is in PR. He's still the best in lying and deception. He even has himself deceived, which is why he could never win, and why he is fallen.

[BOOTSTICK]

The first Book of Romans predicts exactly what is happening here. This Bishop is a satanic influence.
