Christian Sodomite Bishop to Wed Partner

Posted by Conservative Culture On May - 9 - 2008

The Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Bishop Coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, makes the sign of the cross at the close of the Celebration of Holy Eucharist following his consecration as bishop November 2, 2003 at the Whittemore Center on the campus of the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire.Those terms reveal the sorid state of the Episcopal Church. Such libs have decimated the meaning of the Bible much like libs have destroyed (or tried). They not only flaunt it but promote Christianity as being nothing more than living like the world. Certainly more people are starting to notice that there is something seriously wrong with the churches in America. In his interview Robinson compared himself to Jesus and the prophets who suffered for his genuine love. The interview on the morning show questioned him about the 100 congregations or so that were pulling away. Robinson pointed out that among nearly 8,000 congregations that is a small amount.

Robinson is right. Little will be done and his actions will be seen as normal for Christianity to live the loving Sodomite lifestyle. But what difference does it really make. Adultery, immorality and homosexuality are all symptons of the same problem. People are holding on to religion while doing what comes natural… not supernatural.Now love for God is equated with love of the flesh.

“I always wanted to be a June bride.” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I knew there’d be trouble. I’d just delivered an hour-long lecture on the relationship between religion and public discourse, and why religious fervour over homosexuality plays such a large and negative role in the securing of full civil rights for gay people.

During the question-and-answer period, someone asked me about the forthcoming civil union between me and Mark, my partner of 20 years. The audience had been welcoming and sympathetic, full of laughter and understanding, and for one moment, I forgot that the C-SPAN cameras were rolling and that every word I said would be parsed by my critics. Within hours, those eight words had made it around the world, thanks to conservative bloggers and the magic of the internet.

No context; nothing about the preceding hour of carefully constructed comments; nothing about my defence of - and love for - the Scriptures; nothing about the loving God to whom I constantly pointed. Just this one sentence.
