    Doctrinal Surprises

    Well...... to quote 1 Peter 3:18-22 (and without comment): "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed...

    A Break from serious discussions....

    I thought we all could use a laugh. A word of warning, swallow and put down your coffee or tea before going any further :^() OK - I warned you: <****** removed by poster>> After looking at this further, I realized it was a bit crude, so I removed it.

    Good article by Bishop of Quincy

    QUINCY, IL (12/13/2004)--The Bishop of Quincy, the Rt. Rev. Keith Ackerman says the future of ECUSA is one of entrenched chaos and will remain so until the church addresses in a theological fashion, with well informed people, rather than small groups that pool limited information married with...

    1549 verses 1552

    I like Matthew Henry's Commentary on the matter of The Lord's Supper - "This ordinance of the Lord's supper is to us the passover supper, by which we commemorate a much greater deliverance than that of Israel out of Egypt. Take, eat; accept of Christ as he is offered to you; receive the...

    What would it take to leave?

    The dye has been cast, the course will most likely be irreversible. January 2005 - The House of Bishops will most likely refuse to censor V.G. or the continued same sex "marriages". February 2005 - the Primates will likely have strong language to those supporting ECUSA and thier like minded...

    reminder to self, why i am episcopalian

    I held off responding for a few days after this was posted. "Via media" served us well, allowing us to agree on the essentials and have a wide latitude on the non-essentials. However, this was always done under the supremecy of scripture. Today this is not the case, thus you have the Episcopal...

    Windsor/Eames discussion

    The qualifications of the person and beliefs are the issue. If he met 1Tim 3:1-7 then, as a person, the issue resolves itself.

    C.S. Lewis, was a Theologian, even if he did not consider himself one.

    That consideration is not a historical, Orthodox view point. Jonathan Sarfati has a good and very condensed discusson on this topic at http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2/4306apol_v3n21994.asp. Only recently has this thought crept into the church and produced "buffet theology" where one is...

    What would it take to leave?

    I want to thank everyone for your posts. There were several posts that gave me a greater insight to another perspective. Being someone who was not raised in the Episcopal or Anglican Church, I don’t feel quite as tied as many of you to the Anglican Communion. I am probably more conservative in...

    What are the limits of Anglican Eucharistic beliefs?

    Eucharist Scripture clearly teaches what has traditionally been called the Doctrine of the Real Presence.[21] In short, Jesus Christ is really, truly, and uniquely present in the Eucharistic celebration in which the dominical elements of bread and wine serve as focus. Our Lord’s Presence is also...

    Do Liberals Exist?

    OOOOOOOHHHHHH NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO! I just realized if that was right, that means my traditional, biblical view points are the only ones that exist. Darn, I just proved that self-actualization is false. Hey wait a minute - that then means that actual truth exists!

    What would it take to leave?

    What would it take for you or your family to leave the Episcopal Church or the Anglican communion? I am curious as an American Episcopalian, there seems to be a wide opinion on personal belief, the state of ECUSA and the larger communion relationship. So, who wants to go first?
