Headline of the Day

Ok, So here is some real religious nonsense! This is a headline off of one of the blogs that I have coming to my google reader. Hold on to your seat.

"Lesbian Ordained in Lutheran Church"

Ok, so maybe not so outrageous, which really is the sad part about it. However only need to dig up two verses on this one to say why this is wrong.

1 Timothy 2:11-14 (11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.)

Second verse is Revelation 21:8 ( 8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.")

So, women should not be pastors and the sexually immoral are headed for Hell. Is this someone that should be preaching in your church, or for that matter any church? I prefer to learn from someone that has sound theology, and not from someone that wants the church to adjust the Word of God to fit with their lifestyle. They are on the wide path that leads to destruction. I pray that you are not on it with them.

Try Jesus !

Oh, where oh where to begin. I was on my way to the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks when I saw this church sign. I actually turned around to get a picture of it. No I was not in the back of a police cruiser when I went by. I was getting fingerprinted for foster care reasons. My thoughts however on this sign just screemed to be put on the "drivel" sight.

"Try" Jesus, what are they saying, they make it sound like they have a product that they are selling and if you don't like the outcome of the product you can just return it and go back to the way it was before trying the product to begin with.

The dictionary defines try as "to test the quality, value, fitness, accuracy, etc." Do we really need to test the quality, or value of Jesus? If the gospel of Christ is presented in a way that people are shown that they are sinners and that God is just and will punish sinners in Hell, before they are told that they need to repent and trust in Jesus the value is made perfectly clear.

This sign seems to be saying that this Church would like to fill the pews however they are not really concerned if you stay or not. The following is a cut and paste from the Seventh Day Adventist Web site, from the "What Adventists Believe" page "God's vision for you is life as He lives it! God loves you, and wants to give you the highest quality of life imaginable."

God's vision is to live life as he lives it? How is that possible until we are in Heaven with him. God wants you to have the highest quality of life? There is that ugly prosperity gospel again. In 2 Timothy 3:12 "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted"

Sad, so sad.
