Before I say anymore, let me say that I love people. I love everyone regardless of their gender, ethnicity, age, social status, et cetera. No one can be right with God and hate anyone. Having said that, the inspired Holy Bible is very clear that homosexuality is a sin in God's sight. The Church of England and The Anglican Church are virtual synonyms in the UK. However, outside of the UK, depending the the church splits are called Anglican, Anglican Church in North America, and the Episcopal Church.
I am tired of liberals and sodomites pointing out that the Old Testament imposed capital punishment on eating lobster. God established three different types of laws in the Old Testament: moral, civil and ceremonial laws. Moral laws apply 24/7 (all the time). Civil laws govern how we get along with our neighbours (our responsibilities and liabilities). Ceremonial laws were given by God only for the Jews living in Palestine under Mosaic law. Since the Sabbath Day was a ceremonial law, it no longer applies today (Colossians 2:14-16).
Tragically, many churches are turning apostate, such as the Church of England. ...
That is very sinful and wrong by the Church of England! Homosexuality is a horrible sin which the inspired Holy Bible condemns. Also, please read Romans chapter one, which clearly condemns the homosexual deathstyle. I do not hate or bash homosexuals or transgendered people, I love them with God's unconditional love. We should never accept the sin with the sinner, nor reject the sinner with the sin. Many religious people refuse to make a distinction between sin versus the sinner, so they just hate everyone who is living an openly sinful life. That is wrong! Most churches and Bible colleges today only focus on moral authority, while woefully lacking love and compassion for hurting sinners. That is why the churches are dying today! Albeit, we as saints should never accept unrepentant sinners in good standing into the churches. This is 100% biblical (1st Corinthians 5:1-5).Church of England paves way for ceremonies to welcome trans people
"This new guidance provides an opportunity, rooted in scripture, to enable trans people ... to mark their transition in the presence of their church family," said Julian Henderson, who worked on the guidelines
By Lin Taylor | December 2018
LONDON, December 11 (Openly) - Transgender members of the 85-million-strong Anglican faith community will now have the support of the Church of England, after it released guidelines on Tuesday for ceremonies to welcome them.
The Church of England, where the Anglican tradition originated, has in recent years moved towards greater acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) people, including addressing homophobic bullying in schools.
The public ceremonies aim to affirm the new identity of trans worshippers, according to guidelines published on the Church's website on Tuesday.
Julian Henderson, head of the committee that produced the guidelines, said the decision was "rooted in scripture".
"We are absolutely clear that everyone is made in the image of God and that all should find a welcome in their parish church," said Henderson in a statement.
"This new guidance provides an opportunity, rooted in scripture, to enable trans people ... to mark their transition in the presence of their church family," he added.
God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. I heard singer Elton John call for all governments around the world to ban organized religion, which he sees as a major threat to the homosexual community everywhere. Well, Elton may have an incredible amount of influence because of his musical talent here on earth, but he is a big zero in the eyes of Heaven. Elton is an ungodly avowed atheist! Good luck in eternity Elton! What saith the Scripture? John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
On their own website the Church of England presents a false plan of salvation. Here is their ridiculous fake plan of salvation...
'The most important decision any person can ever make is to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. It’s the best thing anyone can do.' SOURCE
What saith the Scripture?
1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
The Bible way to Heaven is through faith alone in the Gospel (Good News) that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God; who died on a cross to pay for our sins, was buried, and three days later He bodily resurrected from the dead.
In sharp contrast, nowhere does the inspired Word of God teach us to become a “disciple” of Jesus to get to Heaven. Judas followed Jesus, being one of His very apostles; yet, Judas died in his sins and went to burn in Hell forever. Jesus said in John 6:70 that Judas had a devil in him. Judas never trusted in Christ! Judas merely became a Christ follower, like so many hellbound religious people today (Matthew 7:21-23).
The wicked Anglican Church of England preaches a counterfeit plan of salvation. No one has ever been saved by following Jesus. Thousands of people in the Bible followed Jesus for a handout of food, but not because they believed on Him. John 6:26, “Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.” Multiples of religious people only attend church for selfish reasons (Matthew 15:7-8). Most pastors only join the clergy to make money. That is why we see women, homosexuals and atheists making a living as pastors in these perilous times. There is no fear of God in this perverse generation.
Dear reader, please FLEE from the apostate Church of England and their damnable heresies. It shouldn't come as a surprise to a saint of God, that in a counterfeit church their leadership would embrace the sodomite community in their unrepentant state of rebellion against God. I believe everyone should be allowed to attend church. How else can we help sinners (lost or saved) if we refuse to embrace them with Christ's love?
Having said that, kindly, pastors are biblically obligated preach hard against all sin, including the abominable sin of homosexuality (Isaiah 58:1). 1st Timothy 5:20, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.” God's wrath is upon any pastor and church who openly welcome sodomites into their congregation, but never a word is preaching from the pulpit about the evils of homosexuality, adultery and the lusts of the flesh.
John 7:7, “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” When did Jesus testify against the sins of the world? Remember, Jesus' name is THE WORD OF GOD (Revelation 19:13). Jesus is the Word made incarnate, that is, in the flesh (John 1:1-3, 14). Evangelist John R. Rice (1895-1980) used to rightly say that Jesus and the Bible are “twins.” Jesus is the Living Word; the Bible is the Written Word. That is why we read in John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
