The Word says that we may well suffer martyrdom. Just guess it involves a choice for Jesus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641491082332141442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9555343.post-74455669772875282952014-03-24T12:32:19.621-07:002014-03-24T12:32:19.621-07:00Pewster, If your bishop is like many I know, he ma...Pewster, If your bishop is like many I know, he may have to go back and take a course on theology in a conservative seminary to understand the question. Or, actually, he may need to undergo "deprogramming" before he is able to process the information. For decades, most Episcopal seminaries have been teaching their students to have a disdain for the idea of "revealed religion," the same as they have been programming them to reject the doctrine of Christ's substitutionary atonement.<br /><br />Conversations I have had with the graduates of these other seminaries have been revealing: They didn't know WHY they didn't believe in the revealed nature of Christianity or substitutionary atonement. They just "knew" that those doctrines were "icky," and that it was un-Episcopalian to believe them. Robert S.

I agree that was the quote of the day. <br /><br />If I ever get a chance, I will have to ask my liberal bishop if he understands that his rationale behind supporting same sex blessings in his diocese is an example of naturalistic liberalism and is not consistent with revealed religion.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.com
