We need to pray for these folks - many of them (I dare say most of them) think they are doing something that God would want. <br /><br />I don't believe that the denomination can be turned - I am talking here (as are you two) about the salvation of sould for whom Christ died. So we need to keep up intercession for them, even while sounding warnings about the false teachings.TLF+https://www.blogger.com/profile/01650010433581488888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-28619025480019640432009-07-20T16:36:44.386-05:002009-07-20T16:36:44.386-05:00Thank you for this.
Human sexuality issues aside...Thank you for this. <br /><br />Human sexuality issues aside, The Episcopal Church declared itself utterly distinct and apart from the cztholic Church by its rejection of this resolution. This is news that needs to be repeated often, so that even the pew-sitters most distant and disconnected from General Convention understand what their church has said it believes -- and doesn't believe -- to the world.Todd Marchandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363605334551144066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-32049097177992109532009-07-20T15:43:59.384-05:002009-07-20T15:43:59.384-05:00John's Gospel is, or has been, an anathema to ...John's Gospel is, or has been, an anathema to the modern Episcopal church. There are those parts that go against the pluralism and universalism that are so popular these days. The HoB/HoD deny the claims of exclusivism, but they do not have a proven theology to stand upon. <br /><br />They can try all they can, but they cannot erase the Word as received. <br /><br />Revelation concludes with the ever unpopular warning: <br />22:18-21 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: <br /><br /> And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book. <br /> He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. <br /><br />The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen"<br /><br />P.S. Lord forgive them for they know not what they do.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.com
