US / CANADIAN ANGLICANS ‘OUT’. AFRICAN / ASIAN ANGLICANS ‘IN’
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
They are out with God.
The American Episcopal Church and the Canadian Anglican Church, both part of the worldwide Anglican communion thus far, are not on the side of God. They have rewritten their religion to be hedonistic, pagan and outright antiChrist.
That’s the opinion of not only the African and Asian Anglicans but all global biblical Christians. What is stated in the Holy Scripture is that man must not have sex with man. Woman must not have sex with woman. Only man to woman sexual relations within the commitment of marriage is permitted of any Christian, regardless of the denominational affiliation.
Nevertheless, the North American Anglican / Episcopalian conclave has gone astray spiritually, so much so that the rest of their communion has pronounced EVIL upon the sinners’ heads and hearts.
The conflict is increasing. The biblical believers know that there is no room for compromise. God has revealed His eternal truths in the Bible and therefore no mortal must tamper with what the divine has scribed.
Nevertheless, starting with the Episcopal Church ordaining the New Hampshire bishop as not only practicing homosexual legitimate but blessed by heaven, that contingent has riled up the Scripturally loyal Anglicans universal so that there is bound to be a grand divorce.
The homosexual tolerant state that the biblical loyalists can return “home” any time they want. The door is always open. They are not outcast. They are more than welcome to step through the doors.
However, the biblically aligned state that the homosexual tolerant have robbed the biblically true of their home. They have stolen the sanctuary of God, the worship of the faithful and the eternal verities so as to twist them for the devil.
No compromise. No margin for discussion. No tolerance for sin. With that in place, there is no choice but for the genuine Christians to make exit from the devil’s crew. And that is moving along quite quickly.
According to Bob Harvey and Natalie Alcoba of CanWest News Service (with files from The Daily Telegraph), “The fierce battle within the Anglican Church over homosexual clergy and same-sex marriage has brought the Canadian and American branches of the faith to the brink of banishment by the Church's ruling bodies meeting in England.
“The controversy flared up at the Anglican Consultative Council session in Nottingham yesterday, pitting the liberal, pro-homosexual Canadian and American congregations against a hardline coalition of African and Asian wings that bitterly opposes homosexual involvement in Church affairs.
“At the root of the dispute is the consecration of openly gay clergyman Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire and the decision by the diocese of New Westminster, B.C., to authorize the blessing of same-sex marriage.”
Yet it is this very same Robinson who has played host to the biblically loyal by stating that they are more than welcome to return to the sanctuary for worship. After all, it is not the homosexuals who kicked them out. They left on their own accord; however, any time that they see the light that homosexuals are God’s blessed, the biblically loyal can return to the fold.
That is considered blasphemy by the sincere Christians, not only of the Anglican tradition but all genuine believers of any church. Therefore, while the homosexual enthusiasts continue to act benevolent, the biblically true regard them as the fake of the fake, the obnoxious maximum and those whom God has spewed out of His mouth.
"’If there was any doubt left about the serious nature of this rift, this week's meeting has made clear how far from agreement both sides appear to be, and the extent to which neither is willing to compromise,’ said The Times. ‘The deepening anger on both sides means the 2008 conference in Canterbury could see savage theological conflict.’
“The newspaper added that the events of the week moved the Church ‘closer to schism.’"
Of course, the Archbishop has shown himself not only to be administratively inept but spiritually backslidden. Of all religious leaders, he has been the worst when it comes to defending God’s truth. He has waffled. He has double-talked. He has compromised. He has been the weak of the weak and thus has continued to lead astray those of his own church.
He will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ as condemned to eternal damnation unless he repents of his sin. He is one of those whom Jesus referred to as false teachers who lead the innocent far from God.
“The Church's official policy declares homosexuality ‘incompatible with scripture.’
“Nigeria's Archbishop Peter Akinola has been the loudest of the Asian and African critics of the North American churches and submitted yesterday's resolution. Both U.S. and Canadian leaders came to this week's council meetings to explain why they had taken stands that marred their relationships with sister churches.
“Reverend Peter Elliott, dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver and the deputy chairman of the Canadian church's governing body, its General Synod, told the Consultative Council on Tuesday, ‘I am a gay man. I am in a committed partnership myself.’"
How the apostate strut their wickedness.
“Charlie Masters, national director for Anglican Essentials Canada, a group that represents conservative Anglicans, welcomed yesterday's decision, calling it an opportunity for the Canadian church to change its direction.
"’It shows that the Anglican communion is strong in its resolve to call the Anglican Church back to Anglican beliefs,’ he said. The meeting of delegates from the 38 Anglican churches will continue until June 28. National churches must then decide whether to accept or reject any decisions made at the meetings.”

Scripture relating that active homosexual relations are abhorrent to God:
Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
Leviticus 20:13: "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them."
Romans 1:18-32: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. . .For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools. . .
"Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. . .
"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire towards one another, men with men committed indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
"God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice. . .without understanding. . . and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."
I Corinthians 6:9: "Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
