Members of the Episcopal House of Deputies are expected to address homosexuality issues and how LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) members are involved in The Episcopal Church during the meeting with Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams, according to the Episcopal News Service.
The Rev. Canon Michael Barlowe of the Diocese of California told the denomination's news service that the meeting will be set in the context of the "Listening Process," in which Anglicans worldwide are encouraged to listen to gay and lesbian persons and all sides of the homosexuality debate.
THIS IS A WARNING ... AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT.
The longer people rationalize away their sin, the longer they will stay a slave to it and expose to all that they are unregenerate. There is NO debate about it. Sexual sin was equated with idolatry in the past and it idolatry now. Each one of them will answer to the One and Holy God. Once they see Him they will know instantly they were living a life of rebellion and GOD WILL CASTE THEM TO HELL them at false teachers. (and yes, I said the word HELL); its an actual realm people along with rebellious spirits are thrown into because they hate the Holiness of God right along with the demons they served. Whether or not the person believed in the existence of God or were religious will not matter, because all will know that they are accountable to God. Their fleshly, carnal mind will no longer be in the way of defending and justifying their lost soul.
"because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." Romans 1:21
Read Romans 1:16-32 for the complete context on homosexuality pastors. Let God's word alone lead you, not opinion. Stop tolerating what God condemns.
(AND don't water down and reduce homosexuality to one of the dietary or apparel codes in the Law of Moses, which represented a shadow (pattern) of things to come in Christ. But there is no sin ever tolerated by Holy God nor in sinless Christ, for even that was condemned in Jesus' body. (Romans 8:3)
And YES GOD is the JUDGE and God said in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11,
"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 homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such WERE (<=== past tense) some of you. BUT you WERE washed, but you WERE sanctified, but you WERE justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Jesus is the judge and Jesus said, 'From that time Jesus began to preach and to say,' "Repent (change-turn around 180 degrees-renounce your sin and rebellion), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (has arrived)." Matthew 4:17
To debate about whether these "so-called" ministers ought to condone the practice of homosexuality is matter of whether they demand an eternity - smoking or non-smoking. No one can have a relationship with God on their own terms.
"And as it is appointed for men to die ONCE, but after this the judgment," Hebrews 9:27
Since a person only dies once, there is no reincarnation. That is why the gospel is such good news. Jesus not only forgives our sin but becomes King (Ruling-Owner) on the inside of us, and then through His Holy Spirit, empowers and enables us to live the kind of holy life that pleases God.
Only TRUTH will Make US Free
