Episcopal chruch approves gay bishop

If there were no Homosexual Priest there would not be a homosexual bishop.
If there were no homosexual leaders in a local church ther would be no homosexual priest.

If we brought fruit of repentance there would be no homosexual church members.

The problem in the episcopal church is the result of ordaining homosexual priest.

I hope other groups will learn from this and prevent these things from happening in other churches.

 

I am guessing that the 7/20 BB policy forbids discussion of the recent Episcopal church vote in this open forum.

Hi Bob -

I feel a little bit like an umpire at a baseball game. I'm having to "call it as I see it" on these threads.

This particular thead has remained straight on task of discussing the Episcopalian dilemma. The other two I closed tonight had strayed onto a topic of a sexual nature. I'm doing what I can to allow free discussion while not allowing violation of the rules. This issue in the Episcopalian church is so pertinent to the modern Christian community, I'm not sure how we can avoid discussion of it altogether. It's kind of in our face and personal.

Like the umpire, no matter what the call, someone in the crowd is going to say I need glasses.

As a long time poster in this forum, you know I tread rather lightly but in this case, I'm attempting to perform my duties to the community at large. I'm kind of walking a tightrope on it. Bear with me. We'll get it right eventually. Thanks.

On topic, I don't understand why the Anglican Communion is upset (or surprised) by the consecration of a gay bishop; if they haven't been up-in-arms about gay priests.

Has anyone read an article that addresses this?

Unfortunately promoting homosexuality is the next natural logical extension of Anglican sexual teaching after they change there teaching on sexuality to permit contraception in 1935.

Anglicans led christianity in that false teaching, with almost all denominations soon changing there teachings as well, hopefully they won't lead christianity in this new false teaching.

In marriage the nuptial act is truly a holy act with a God at the very center. Unfortunately most Christian morality now sees sexuality as a private act, that can be totaly self-serving and unrelated to their relationship to God. Hence the approval of such acts as contraception then Homosexuality. I believe I once read some quotes from CS Lewis (an Anlglican) specifically warning of this at the time the Anglican Church change its teaching on contraception, and his voice was not alone. Why are Anglicans now suprised by this decision to promote Homosexuality.

Like Anglicans most christians have tried to throw God out of their bedrooms and hence it becomes difficult to properly teach others. Sexual teaching for most christians typically only focuses on the immorality of acts outside marriage or a monogamous relationship if your an episcopal. It rarely focuses on the naturaly good purposes and true holiness of the act. With such teaching the thought of homosexuality or any other perversion with our bodies becomes unthinkable. Once the Anglicans allowed for the one perversion (contraception) in 1935 they opened the doors to all other sexual perversions.

Seems to me the church, even the Baptist church, is blind and wants to keep everyone blind to the very real threat that the homosexual mentality presents to the church.

These forums are a very good place to bring out the facts that everyone must be aware of, inspite of their personal sensitivities. If you are not aware of the threat, how are you going to recognize it in its subtlest deceptions as it attacks your most sacred holy truths?

It is this kind of blindness that spawned the acceptance of homosexual bishops.

 

Folks, you don't seem to follow the "New Policy" on posting topics containing sexual material. You have violated the posting rules by offering "sex" as a topical discussion outside of the password-protected forums. In this case see the offending word: homosexual...

For this reason I shall close this thread. Please do not try to open a new one with the same subject, as it will be deleted. Use the Men's or the Women's private forum for similar subjects. Thank you! Barnabas, your friendly BB Administrator
