Christian Clarity Review

excerpted from: The Episcopal Majority: Falsely Accused

These groups justify their attacks on The Episcopal Church by claiming our leaders hold and teach “pagan or alien doctrines.” They seem to take delight in claiming we hold beliefs such as the following:

1. Jesus is only one of many paths to God instead of the Only Way (John 14:6).
2. Loving a person means acceptance and love of that person’s sins.
3. The Holy Scriptures are merely historical relics and are not be taken seriously.
4. People can propound any new teaching as long as it makes the listeners feel good (2 Timothy 3:3-4).
5. Heaven and Hell are only figurative terms used in the Bible; liberals believe it is wrong to frighten people with such old ideas in the modern world.
6. The resurrection of Jesus never happened.
7. The Episcopal Church has abandoned its faith and embraced the heresies of Bishop Spong and Marcus Borg.

It is quite possible to find some or all of these views extant somewhere within The Episcopal Church; but you have to look very, very closely to find them. However, it is dishonest and a complete distortion to jump from finding one person holding such a view to charging hundreds or thousands of others with holding the same belief.

He forgot to add: “teaches that no actual and non-metaphorical new birth in Jesus Christ is necessary; teaches that men have free will and must simply “choose Jesus” as they stay the same creature eternally and simply ‘live better lives’ after they ‘choose Jesus’ and thus earn their way to heaven.”

The PCUSA teaches all of the above as well and says the same all the time: “We’re really solid but we have a few errant discipline problems we just can’t seem to get under control –at all. Ever. BUT–we’re sound AND the discipline problems dictate policy to us. Our living under their dicatates proves us humble servants of Jesus Christ.”

To some, ’suffering’ under apostates is the same as genuinely serving Jesus Christ even though God plainly reprimands those who allow that:

2 Corinthians 11:19-21 For ye bear fools readily, being wise. For ye bear if any one bring you into bondage, if any one devour you , if any one get your money , if any one exalt himself, if any one beat you on the face. I speak as to dishonour, as though *we* had been weak; but wherein any one is daring, (I speak in folly,) *I* also am daring.

..and God honors those that prove false apostles liars by giving those who cast out liars after having proven them liars more of Himself as Word, even when that Word is rebuke. Honesty is the regular business of the Church as well as continuing to grow. You don’t get paid to be honest, you get disciplined if you are not:

Revelation 2:2-7 I know thy works and thy labour, and thine endurance, and that thou canst not bear evil men ; and thou hast tried them who say that themselves are apostles and are not, and hast found them liars; and endurest, and hast borne for my name’s sake, and hast not wearied: but I have against thee, that thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works: but if not, I am coming to thee, and I will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou shalt repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which *I* also hate. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.

But those who do all they can to hold onto heretics-as-members-and-leaders do what anti-Christ does through them to protect those apostates as if by so doing they are distinguishing themselves from the apostates –in order to ’suffer’ loudly before the throne of God. But God is not mocked and they are not excused. It is those who apologize for evil under the premise that a certain threshold of evil must at all times be tolerated as proof of genuine holiness that are manufacturing the apostates that turn out to be twice the sons of Satan as themselves. They are setting up the young and simple to be deceived before they even know what is going on and they will do anything (Anything ) to keep ‘power’ to monopolize the time and attention span of the people –in order to apologize for and protect what they portray to be worse apostates than themselves.

God plainly says to those who harbor and give sanctuary and the right hand of fellowship to apostates:

Jeremiah 13:21 What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee, since thou thyself hast trained them to be princes in chief over thee? Shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?

..even as He Says of them:

Jeremiah 23:17 They say constantly unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace. And they say unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his heart, No evil shall come upon you.

Deu 23:6 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

The day is long past when apostates successfuly cloak themselves as ‘conservatives pointing out liberals with love’ or ‘those who love the sinner but hate the sin they protect’. The day is also long past when the people were deceived that all words are necessarily good simply because they are spoken, only one speech exists in total reality and that a false gospel harms none.

One need only look at what has happened to the whole country on the watch of one generation worth of apostates-masquerading-as-Church-leaders to see what they are trying to protect across the board. That generation didn’t grow up in a society where homosexuals and other sexual deviants were preying on every side, when drugs and disease were everywhere, when crime has exploded and other false religion than themselves has been forced on the whole country as ‘tolerance’ –even as those of those false relgions then kill Americans. They grew up safe and used their safety to corrupt (not simply ‘allow’ corruption) everything –from within the Church.

The best thing that can happen is that they be killed. Judgement begins at the house of God.

1 Peter 4:17-19 For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God is come ; but if first from us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God? And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and the sinner appear? Wherefore also let them who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.

Exodus 32:26-29 And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, He that is for Jehovah, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered to him. And he said to them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his hip; go and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbour. And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to Jehovah, yea, every man with his son, and with his brother, and bring on yourselves a blessing to-day.

Numbers 31:15-18 and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive? Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah. And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him, but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.

Why should they simply leave and start another pocket of their disease somewhere else? Christian compassion dictates that they be put down like the beasts that tear the flock they are. On whom should they be pawned off? What they have caused one would not wish on one’s worst enemy. We have been born and born again in this period of history and not some other. God put this on our plate and genuinely lives in us to do His will and His judgement. It is not simply for us that God acts through us, but for all those who follow, no matter how long He takes to return in Person.

They have all set up an idol called Innocence in their heart when in truth they are Guilty and have never been washed in the blood of God/Jesus Christ or been born again in Him as Word.

Ezekiel 14:2-11 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? Therefore speak to them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, I Jehovah will answer him according to this, according to the multitude of his idols: that I may take the house of Israel by their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire of me by him, I Jehovah will answer him by myself; and I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate, so that he shall be for a sign and for proverbs, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. And if the prophet be enticed and shall speak a word, I Jehovah have enticed that prophet; and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And they shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of the inquirer; that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither make themselves any more unclean with all their transgressions; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.

It is much better not to be a fake Christian.

Hos 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? intelligent, and he shall know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
