Episcopal Bishop's Letter

[lucaspa]

I belive in just beliving what the bible has to say: what a married couple does sexual is aceptable in the sight of God, men can't marry men women can't marry momen.

Where does it say men can't marry men or women marry women? Chapter and verse, please.

 

[lucaspa]

Bump.

I find the Episcopalian/Anglican church to be more attractive every day.

It is next to where the Bible says that a man CAN marry a man, and a woman CAN marry a woman.

Yeah well lucky for us all that the Bible is NOT a legal code. Lest you forget Christianity did not create the concept of marriage and in the modern day it is a civil construct that is often performed by clergy. It's also performed by ship captains, judges and magistrates.

sin isn't sin huh? well, i'm sure my new testament only qotes won't change your mind... just read romans ch1 basicly says that homosexual activity is snfull and imoral and gal ch 5 says that the sexualy imoral will not inherit the kingdom of God.

'Jewish' law is our law except for where the new testament says otherwise. so when it says 'sexual immorality' is wrong, then we refer to the old testament * and other parts of the new testament* to see what the definition of other parts are.

Leviticus 20 also says we should shun people who have relations while the female is on her time of the month.

Yup, and I don't see anywhere in the NT that says this has been revoked. So, Pharisaical Fundamentalists, I hope you're not doing anything you shouldn't.

So what isn't expressly sanctioned is forbidden? Do you really want to live by that rule? We can come up with some very interesting things that Christians do that isn't sanctioned.
