An example of such open defiance occurred in the Pittsburgh Presbytery, where a female minister, Dr. Janet Edwards, performed a "marriage" ceremony for two lesbians. The ceremony integrated the couple's Buddhist and Christian traditions.

This is just sickening!

The only reason there is controversy is because a bunch of these people don't believe the Bible, and don't believe in Jesus, even though they claim they are Christians. They are either totally ignorant of God's word, or are liars and deceivers. The Bible says "Jesus is the word made flesh", and "he didn't not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it." And "why call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things I say."

Hmm, no Southern Baptists..

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yeah, it is sickening.

FYI, the integration of Buddhism and Christianity has hit the big-time in our churches via this contemplative prayer nonsense. It's not just unique to this "couple."

The media has done the Catholic Church a big favor by exposing the sex abuse scandal. In so doing, it has opened up the files of priests and seminaries. Apparently, these same scandals are prevalent in other denominations. We have a shot at cleaning it up.

Totally agree.

The more the priests increased,
the more they sinned against me;
they exchanged their Glory for something disgraceful.

They feed on the sins of my people
and relish their wickedness.

And it will be: Like people, like priests.
I will punish both of them for their ways
and repay them for their deeds.

"They will eat but not have enough;
they will engage in prostitution but not increase,
because they have deserted the LORD
to give themselves to prostitution,
to old wine and new,
which take away the understanding of my people.
They consult a wooden idol
and are answered by a stick of wood.
A spirit of prostitution leads them astray;
they are unfaithful to their God.

This has to be the Apostasy that the Lord warned us about. The Bible tells us there will be a great falling away from the Faith not long before the Lord returns.

Isn't that so special? How inclusive!

False prophets.

ANYONE remaining in any one of these National Council of Churches is putting their stamp of approval on this apostasy, as well as the promotion of socialism and communism.

[TradicalRC]

Six Episcopal congregations in Florida have asked Rowan Williams, archbishop of Canterbury and figurehead leader for worldwide Anglicans, to allow them to report to a new bishop. The row was caused, the congregations said, because their current bishop, John Howard, approved of Robinson's consecration. The parishes, with about 4,000 members, said Howard's stand caused a "serious theological dispute."

LOL! But it could not possibly be the fault of "bishop" Gene-Gene Robinson!

[gidget7]

sickening is ONE word for it!!

I cannot for the life of me, understand how people, never mind ANY church, being swayed by a bunch of people who not only advocate abominations, but boldly and pervertedly, proclaim that they refuse to live their lives as what God created them to be! It's the ultimate :in your face" and it is directed at our Lord and Savior!! How, in the name of God, is this even remotely following Christian values and doctrine? If anything, it is a total and complete rebellion of ANY church!

It's not about love, not at all. How many normal people, having been told that some form of sexual activity would harm or even kill, their spouse, would perform that activity anyway? To do so is not loving!!
