Episcopalian Pleads “I am not a crook abomination”

Pleading his case before his peers that he is not an abomination and that he should not be barred from office even for the sake of unity with the Anglicans.

The first openly gay Episcopal bishop told a church hearing Wednesday that he is “not an abomination,” as he pleaded with the denomination not to bar gays from the office of bishop, even temporarily, for the sake of Anglican unity.

If Episcopalians “see Christ in the faithful lives of our gay and lesbian members,” they should have the courage to say so, no matter the potential consequences, said Bishop V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.

“I am not an abomination before God,” he told the Episcopal General Convention. “Please, I beg you, let’s say our prayers and stand up for right.”

This argument sounds vaguely familiar. Me think he doth protest too much. What does it matter to me what those outside the ‘church’ do? But those that claim to be inside the church are bound by word of God. But much like the Constitution, the liberals don’t mind twisting them to their own ends.

The convention will soon vote whether to meet demands from Anglican leaders to impose a moratorium on electing gay bishops and express regret for the turmoil caused by Robinson’s 2003 consecration.

It would be most revealing this week if they vote to break with the Anglicans and promote the gay agenda. Its time to see whose side they really are on.

1Cor. 6:9-11 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

The words “that is what some of you were” has been replaced with “that is how some of you are”. Many have turned Christianity from listening to Jesus Christ to a religion. Sad but true.

Luke 9:35 ???This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.???
