Openly Homosexual Episcopal Bishop Elected

I think that Im going to ask God almighty about this question. When he gets back to me Ill tell you all what the deal is.

Athiests and agnostics: (to Christians) You can have this argument. (athiests and agnostics leave)

John 23:42
And, lo and behold, did the Lord our Savior look upon the masses and sayeth onto them, "I ain't havin' no faggots in my church". So let it be written, so let it be done.

I really couldn't believe it when I read that passage in the Bible, but it's there.

This is definitly a possability. I would never for a second challenge his faith. I'm quite sure he belongs to Jesus Christ. But I do believe the work that Christ has begun in him is yet to be finished. ;)

Yeah, I kind figured it was a topic for us and not everyone. Glad to have my feelings re-affirmed. ;)

I'm 100% for it.

OK!




Why?

I can't say I'd agree with a practicing homosexual being clergy, but I have 0 to do with the Anglican church and its offspring. :p

Yeah, me too. But I figured it was worth talking about.

What denomination do you consider yourself, Schlep?

Lutheran. The ELCA kind of skirts the issue, but they have set kind of a soft law against practicing homosexuals as pastors and have even removed a couple.

So then, if there was marriage between homosexuals, would the practice be seen as 'fornication' between a married couple?
