I have posted heaps on the division of the Church in regards to the Todd – bam, bam – Bentley fiasco who is endorsed by the totally heretical and unbiblical Elijah – occultic – List. Of that, most of the readers of this personal blog are painfully and prayerfully aware of the Churches sad condition.
Some, unfortunately, are going along with unbiblical practices which have never been part of the faith that was once delivered to the saints — biblically speaking that is. To endorse their unbiblical practices you will find that most refer to the ‘desert fathers’ and Catholic mystics who practiced a form of contemplative/centering prayer often called Lectio Divina. In doing this they have crossed the line and have now stepped outside of biblical boundaries that have been clearly set out for us in the New Testament.
Jud 1:3-4 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
On another front is the issue of ordaining gay bishops in the Anglican Church. This again is causing a separation of sorts within Christendom. This separation being witnessed is horrific as it is not a pretty sight to see any form of amputation, but perhaps it is God sorting out his House because He wants His bride as pure and virginal as she should be.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
‘Heretic’: The first openly gay bishop is pilloried in the pulpit by a long-haired heckler
Last updated at 02:03am on 14.07.08
The world’s first openly gay Anglican bishop was heckled last night as he gave a sermon at a church in London.
The Right Reverend Gene Robinson, the American churchman whose appointment as Bishop of New Hampshire triggered a devastating split among Anglican leaders, was branded a ‘heretic’ by the lone protester.
The long-haired heckler repeatedly jabbed his finger and shouted ‘repent, repent, repent’.
He said the bishop ‘preached the Gospel but departed from it’ and claimed it was he who was behind the schism.
The bishop had to halt his sermon as a slow hand-clap by members of the congregation began in response to the heckling.

Geez. I agree with what you’ve posted on this awful trend now sweeping the world (gay marriages in Calif. and now back in Boston)… and I was reminded of two things:
1. It says plain as day in the Holy Bible that men shouldn’t lay with men as they would with a woman.
I know it’s not a ‘new’ verse, but as I was reading… it was just plain as day exactly what GOD instructed Moses to tell the people. How do you even begin to explain it away as some unrepentant sinners do? It’s impossible unless you skip over some words or just plain close your eyes and stop your ears.
2. The heckling incident reminds me of when King David was heckled by that man after Saul was finally defeated (I think). I am not reading into anything, just sharing.
2 Samuel 16:5-13
5 Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came.
6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: “Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue!
8 The LORD has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!”
9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!”
10 But the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, ‘Curse David.’ Who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”
11 And David said to Abishai and all his servants, “See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him.
12 It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction,[a] and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing this day.”
13 And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust. 14 Now the king and all the people who were with him became weary; so they refreshed themselves there.
Lavrai…
I find it impossible to understand how they can ordain homosexuals and put them in roles of leadership…
1 Timothy 3 outlines the qualifications of leaders in the Church…
Yes, Livingjourney, exactly. …And so many other church ‘leaders’ need to be reminded of that, too…
