Showdowns Up and Down the Map

Mean in Montana, Britain, Massachusetts, Manhattan, Louisiana and anywhere else you can think of. Oh, and what about the Episcopal soul?

(Page 3 of 10)

p>I say do what I did: join the closest Bible believing church in your neighborhood, ignore the politics and enjoy the fellowship. We are now in a non-denominational age in which those that have an open and honest relationship with the triune Great I Am live and worship, saved sinners all, on a "Sola Scriptura" basis. br> -- unsigned /p>

Lots of congregations, regardless of denomination, allow their interpretations of God's Word to serve their personal needs, wants and desires. So when Mr. Henry calls for Episcopalians to "fight," whose interpretation of God's Word is his church going to use as its basis for the conflict? Didn't he acknowledge that his own denomination picks and chooses which of God's laws and Jesus' teachings it can opt out of?

I agree. Faith in a jealous God who is omni-potent, -present and -cient is worth fighting for, but do we really understand the mystery of God's love and how to fight in the context of a loving Savior?

p>Withhold funds, seek to defrock church-sactioned/tolerated sinners, but the battle is the Lord's (Tony Evans). br> -- Stu Margrey br> Denton, Maryland /p> p> Mr. Henry can find some solace, possibly, in considering a path to Rome. We RC's have our insufferable liberals, but their influence wanes daily. He could too remain amongst his fellow Episcopalians because in his Church too, the liberal experiment is being shown for the fraudulent failure it is. br> -- Andrew G. Mac Donald /p>
