EPISCOPAL LEADER ADDS FUEL TO HEATED DEBATE RE: HOMOSEXUALITY


For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error (Romans 1:26-27).

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

As Dr. John MacArthur has said the Bible is not ambiguous on the subject of homosexuality, the above is pretty clear. And OneNewsNow reports that:

An official with a group of conservative pastors and laypeople from the Episcopal Church USA says it doesn’t appear that Episcopal churches in North America will repent of their clear violation of scripture regarding homosexuality. (Online source)

This are exactly correct. See for yourself below how the sheer brazen audacity of the “tolerance” compromisers of liberal theology continue to rip at and tear apart the American Christian Church:

ECUSA Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says the concession last month to Anglican conservatives to delay consecrating more openly homosexual bishops, or officially blessing same-sex couples, felt like a “crucifixion” to her. The ECUSA leader says the concessions were made so her denomination could remain part of the worldwide Anglican Communion…

“The crucifixion I suffer is not being able to include the fullness of the gifts of my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters, that they are not yet able to live those out in all orders of ministry in this church, that their unions are unable to be blessed in those places,” she stated.
