Now, Heresy Is OK for Episcopalians
Posted by Rev. Iovine under Christianity , Clergy , Islam[3] Comments
This is one of those "You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me" moments that should make every Episcopalian – and members of their fellowship, including the ELCA – really, really angry.
Shortly after noon on Fridays, the Rev. Ann Holmes Redding ties on a black headscarf, preparing to pray with her Muslim group on First Hill.
On Sunday mornings, Redding puts on the white collar of an Episcopal priest.
She does both, she says, because she’s Christian and Muslim.
Redding, who until recently was director of faith formation at St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral, has been a priest for more than 20 years. Now she’s ready to tell people that, for the last 15 months, she’s also been a Muslim — drawn to the faith after an introduction to Islamic prayers left her profoundly moved.
What?
Memo to Rev(?) Redding: YOU CAN’T BE A CHRISTIAN AND A MUSLIM AT THE SAME TIME.
This issue makes me more angry than the Episcopal Church in America approving of an actively homosexual clergy because the church, for if it continues to condone this heresy, will show that it stands for absolutely nothing. It has already disrespected God’s Word by completely ignoring it when it comes to homosexual unions and an actively homosexual clergy, among other things. But if they condone this action, they’d not only be throwing God’s Word out, they will be using it as toilet paper.
You cannot be a Christian and a Muslim. The basic tenets of either faith are completely different. One says Christ saves; the other says Allah saves the good ones who follow his law. One says that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the other says Allah is the supreme being. One promotes the freedom won by Christ; the other promotes slavery to the law. It is apples and screwdrivers, not even in the same ballpark.
This is just sickening. Say a prayer for Mrs. Redding for clarity of faith.

[...] Remember this post – an Episcopalian priest who claims she’s both Christian and Muslim? [...]

You probably can’t be both. However I do believe a person can be homosexual and Christian. The only one making the big deal about homosexuality in the new testment was Paul and frankly, he never saw or interacted with Christ and I suspect he probably had some latent homosexual issues himself. He was on a bandwagon to oppress Christians, then got on one to promote it. Kind of like your modern day druggies who go from one extreme to the other. They always have to be addicted to something. Drugs, Religion, Sex…..

It is not possible to be a true Christian and openly homosexual at the same time. I think it would be wise to consider this, read Leviticus 20:31 then read John 10:35, here Jesus just reaffirms what is written in the Old Testament as absolute truth (since there was no New Testament in Jesus days on Earth). If you do not believe this you are creating a Jesus from you own imagination.
Are homosexual sins forgivable? Yes of course, as is any sin, but Christ does not want us to pass our sins off as though they are somehow normal and ok. We are to treat every sin as utterly serious (Matthew 18:7-9).
