Comment on The Diocese of B.C. is busy selling churches by Muriel

this article should make anyone thinking of buying any of the Diocesan buildings to think twice. Contributions to communities made in these places cannot be ignored – there are more victims of these closures than just the congregations involved. I know at St Hilda’s Church there is a lot of outreach that takes place from the building (food deliveries to families in need, garage give-away, Artists for Africa (raising money for World Vision projects for orphans of Aids) , Freebie Friday – a free lunch each week for the teens at the local high school and on and on.

crowshire,
The most sad, pathetic, yet telling part of your comments is the question, “What century are you in?”
This indicates that there is a religion for the past and a different one for the present. It indicates that there is a new Jesus, different from the one of the past, the one of history. I indicates that Jesus is no longer “…the same yesterday, today, forever.”
It indicates that you, and others who agree with you, have invented a new religion; one you think is more relevant for today. And that is the whole reason for the schisms we are seeing now in our church.
But this new “religion” has no solid foundation in truth. It is a system of thought created, or at the very least adapted, to be relevant for, “today,” and like all fads, it will pass, to be overshadowed by whatever fad comes next. It is a house built on sand, and will ultimately fall. It certainly cannot last for the two thousand years that the true Christian faith has managed to stand.

It is clear from scripture that homosexuality is a sin. That does not mean it is any worse than any other sin. Each and every one of us has that old nature to deal with and the sins to which we are more prone than others depends to some extent on our personality and upbringing. Some of us could be classed as kleptomaniacs and others as quick tempered, etc. That does not mean we can claim to be “born that way” and therefore assume God will bless us in such activity. As Christians it is long since past the time when we need to hear and follow the words of invitation, “Ye that do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins . . . and intend to lead a new life. . . walking from henceforth in His holy ways…”

We are not called to a selective repentance but a true and genuine repentance and that cannot come when we claim our specific tendency to sin is our “right” and therefore open to being blest. Any person, priest or otherwise, that takes the position that sin can be blest should be removed from his/her position. Failure to do so is nothing less than spitting in our Saviour’s face.

@crowshire: you need to settle down buddy. If you know more than I do, why don’t you explain how it “really” happened. That information I received from very reliable sources. But if you want to set the record straight, stop lashing out at people for their opinions and prove us/me wrong!

@AMPisAnglican
being homosexual is NOT a sin. How could you even say that? What century are you living in?
