I don't care what you believe on this issue- you gotta admit that an Episcopalian priest preaching this in a church is downright creepy:
The ability to enjoy God's good gift of sexuality without compromising one's education, life's work, or ability to put to use God's gifts and call is simply blessing.
These are the two things I want you, please, to remember — abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. (from Moonbattery)Most mainstream protestant churches have become political organizations dressed in a thin veneer of Christianity.
This is why I don't go to church. And the more traditionally Christian churches and denominations, by and large, feel that if I were to be in a loving, committed relationship with another man, I would be sinning. THAT I know, beyond any shadow of doubt, to be completely untrue.
I'm not saying that I think those that hold that view are evil- far from it. I do not think that because someone holds that particular belief it makes them a bad person. Everyone sins. No one is exempt. Good people sometimes say and do bad things. We are all human.
But how can I be sitting in a church that believes that the way God, in His infinite wisdom, has chosen to make me is sinful? That the direction he formed me to love is sinful? That is insulting to me and insulting to God, the way I see it. Jesus did not said one word on this and I believe that he is the ONLY ultimate and infallible authority in The Book. Yes, the OT goes on about it but the OT also goes on about touching the skin of a pig, wearing cloth woven of two fibers and eating shell fish as sinful. You wanna be literal, ya better stay the HELL away from football and shrimp cocktail!
Glad I have my Bible. And its funny...I've never read anywhere in there that abortion is a blessing.
BTW, for anyone new here, I am for civil unions, NOT marriage, I am against legislation forcing people to only say nice things to me, and I am against legislating from the bench in the judicial system.
