Defending the Faith

Conservatives face huge obstacles in putting Anglicanism back together.

Next year, leaders will meet to debate the Anglican Covenant. Inside strategist conservatives hope this document will reestablish doctrinal orthodoxy, place clearer limits on church autonomy, and detail the church's joint mission and provisions for resolving disputes.

Timothy C. Morgan is CT's deputy managing editor.

Certainly if God didn't want men to have sex with other men, He would have said “Man shall not lie with man PERIOD (Leviticus 18:22, 21:13). God wanted Moses to eradicate rampant idolatry in the Jewish nation. That whole “ . . . as with a woman” thing condemns straight men pretending to make it with a woman, such as during idol worship. Paul explains it further when putting down the straight Romans (1:26-28 ) for “leaving their natural relations” (i.e.... as with a woman) and having idolatrous sex with men. Gay men are attracted to other men by definition and by God. They can only imagine what sex “ . . . as with a woman” would be like.

Brothers let's leave them alone, for they too are deceived, soon God will revail who are His, and who are those who belongs to the enemy. Don't pull out the wheat yet, Let it grow along with the weeds. As we all can see, now that the weeds have increased in numbers, it is enveloping the wheats---Our generation is by far the most wicked and crafty in all aspects, from individuals to families and society. The true Gospel has been trampled underfoot by the so called christians, it is now clear that the counterfeit christianity is becoming bolder and bolder in their attempt to overthrow God and Jesus Christ. The four system of thinking is now in full force, those who truly surrender their lives to God and He's Son Jesus Christ will soon face the greatest test of their faith.
