On to the MEAT!

I hear Susan Russell of "Integrity" fame mention that there is more to the Liberal side of the coin than Social Justice. Well, Ms. Russell, that's mighty fine, but how come THAT IS ALL WE HEAR??? How come we do not hear of Christ's redeeming blood? How come we do not hear that Christ died "once for all?" Instead, we hear from the liberals that "there is more than one way to God..." Rubbish... pure unexpurgated rubbish. We read in scripture that nobody comes to the Father except by the Son. That is VERY clear. No amount of "social justice" will change the reading of scripture. Scripture is VERY CLEAR, unless you're reading Thomas Jefferson's version of the Bible, Ms. Russell. God bless you, Ms. Russell. I will be praying for the scriptures to be clear to you.

A little off topic, but nonetheless IMPORTANT!

My wife Wanda showed me where my former employer Walgreens started giving medical benefits to partners of homosexuals. This hit us very hard, because we never thought that they would stoop so low as to offer benefits for "couples" that don't deserve it.

We are going to start to BOYCOTT Walgreens, and my wife has already started looking for another place of employment, so if you read this BOYCOTT WALGREENS!!!!! Bring your prescriptions elsewhere!

This "Fr. MacGreevey" nonsense...

You know, I really thought I had heard it all when Gene Robinson had been consecrated at the Bishop of New Hampshire. But no, then we get a female Presiding Bishop who's not even a Christian. Now, we have the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. Remember the former New Jersey Governor that got "outed" as a homosexual? Well, now he is in the discernment process as an Episcopal priest!!!! Doesn't this just get all. Next thing that you'll see on an application for the seminaries is that they'll ask you if you're a homosexual. And if you answer no, you won't get in. It also seems as if the "coming out" process for gays is naturally followed by the discernment process into the Episcopal priesthood!!! Isn't that just rich!!! Gotta love it... Nowhere else but the Diocese of Newark...

Women's Ordination plus other stuff

This issue has been a tinder box since before the "Philadelphia 13" issue. When I was young and ignorant, I believed that women had the right to be ordained as priests. That was around 1984, or so. I had that opinion until around 2001. What got mind to change was to find biblical evidence that God supported women being ordained as either bishops or priests. I could not find any. Since I am a theology student, and consider myself an armchair theologian, my opinion of the women's ordination took a 180 degree turn. Lately, especially on titusonenine, there has been some heated discussion on the issue of women's ordination. The link is below:

In this article, one person in particular also states that they are pro-choice as well. They claim to be an orthodox anglican, and be pro-WO, and pro-choice. In my opinion, you cannot have either. I was so elated when the Supreme Court upheld the Partial Birth Abortion Ban. It's only a start, but I'll take it. I have also seen bumperstickers that have said "Prayerfully Pro-Choice." Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do.... Either that, or they know EXACTLY what they're doing....

A minister in England says Jesus didn't die for our sins...

Hmmm... I must not be reading the same Holy Bible that Jeffrey John is reading, because Jesus died "once, for all." Yes, you saw the name right. John, who has a civil "partnership" with another male in England. Rowan Williams asked him to step down from being the Bishop of Reading because he was not a celibate homosexual. To his credit, John did so to preserve the communion. Anyway, John should not even be an ordained minister. A bishop or minister should be a man of one WIFE, not husband. He's been listening to those liberals at Oxford too long. His brain will turn to mush before too long...

Elton John desecrates a church in NYC

Well, if it isn't enough that he's an open homosexual, he has his 60th birthday bash in St. John the Divine in NYC! In front of the altar, no less! Using the chalices for champagne??? That is desecrating the chalices, and what they are used for. This is nothing less that a statement from him about organized religion. He just cannot stand that homosexuality is a sin, and is unable to face his own sin in his life. He is in REBELLION against God, and until he repents and turns from his sinful ways, well, you do the math...

Also, as my friend and compadre Gene Whitehurst told me, what where they THINKING when they ok'd this? Well, it all comes down to the mighty dollar. They needed the money. Since when is money more important than our faith? That is the mantra of 815, or the home office of TEC, or the Episcopal Church, or the Episcopagan Church. In my opinion, they have ceased to be christian. The Presiding Bishop is not a christian, believes in suing parishes. The old adage, "The beatings will continue until morale improves..." takes on new meaning with the Presiding Bishop's office, and the Chancellor, David Booth Beers. Now that I have gone off on my tangent, I shall return.

Elton John should have not even been ALLOWED in the church with all of the anti-christian rhetoric that he has been spouting here lately. Unless he repents and is truly sorry and turns away from his homosexuality, that is the only time he should be allowed near an altar for communion, or for anything, for that matter.

What type of theologian are you?

Hat Tip to: A Traditional Anglican Blogging

I ran into this quiz that scores a person on their personal theology. They ask you questions(mighty good ones, if you ask me), and they come up with a percentage as to who influences your theology. For example, to my horror and surprise, my theology is 87% Calvinist! To my utter horror and shock! I always thought of myself as Augustinian/Lutheran... Anyway, here's the link: http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=44116
My wife ended up 100% Anselmic! Enjoy!
