"We have allowed the Bible to be taken hostage, and it is being wielded by folks who would use it to hit us over the head. We have to take back those Scriptures," he said. "You know, those stories are our stories. I tell this to lesbian folk all the time: The story of freedom in Exodus is our story. ... That's my story, and they can't have it.

Gay bishop backs Planned Parenthood
"What an unimaginative God it would be if God only put one meaning in any verse of Scripture," he said.
lambslove said:Gee, what a surprise. If a bishop is unwilling to live a holy life himself, if he advocates immorality in the church, if he requires people to celebrate his perverse lifestyle, then he is hardly likely to uphold any other Christian moral values either.![]()
arunma said:Here's the part I don't get. Some churches, like the Catholic Church, permit gay bishops on the condition that such people remain celibate (I don't see what's wrong with that, since it's the act that's sinful). But Bishop Robinson is actually living with a partner. What's worse is that he left his wife and kids! I'm pretty sure the Episcopalian church also opposes divorce. So it's hard to believe that they really support this.

MY REPLY TO BISHOP ROBINSON......The Word of God is True and Righteous. What you interpret to be a story, I know in faith and certainty to be the actual Word of God. What you think is easily manipulated for your personal agenda, I know with confidence stands firm on the Will of the LORD GOD. What you think can be welded as a tool to justify wickedness, I know can be used to measure and defend against the likes of you and yours. And what you use to destroy lives, will one day be used to destroy yours, by a angry and judging God who does not give His Words to man to have them manipulated for your wicked gain.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:11-13 AV)
