You haven't adequately expressed your theology Tom Send a noteboard - 13/05/2011 07:28:54 PM
You essentially keep parroting out a line that sounds essentially like, "The committee made this decision and they know what they're doing". You don't sound like you understand how they arrived at their decision or how to reconcile the decision with the Bible as your church accepts it. I'm not asking your church to accept my own belief system. I'm just asking you to explain it, particularly in light of the gross errors you've made and the absolutely laughable statements that your church isn't bending to modern trends.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

What's the language? Did they at least TRY to give a doctrinal justification? - 12/05/2011 02:10:46 AM 1089 Views
Thank you for that rousing argument against married priests. - 12/05/2011 03:36:51 AM 1020 Views
Why ARE you letting women into the priesthood? - 12/05/2011 04:16:50 AM 935 Views
Because Episcopalians don't listen to the Bible much. - 12/05/2011 05:47:03 AM 874 Views
That's just fine as far as I'm concerned - 12/05/2011 02:23:44 PM 915 Views
Yes, I suppose a church could go that route. - 14/05/2011 07:38:02 AM 855 Views
I'm not attempting to impose a dichotomy on the Bible. - 14/05/2011 03:25:30 PM 931 Views
I don't even know what following the Bible in its entirety means. - 14/05/2011 09:09:10 PM 1098 Views
As an exercise, I tried to think of how I would justify allowing homosexuals as clergy. - 14/05/2011 04:19:43 PM 923 Views
Wow. - 20/05/2011 10:15:21 AM 946 Views
Thanks (I'm actually OK with women priests though). - 12/05/2011 07:09:11 AM 983 Views
It's more a question of interpretational standards. - 12/05/2011 02:29:43 PM 869 Views
Agreed. - 14/05/2011 01:17:45 AM 942 Views
They did so, via negativa. - 12/05/2011 04:22:17 PM 1065 Views

Haha no way! *NM* - 12/05/2011 03:46:32 AM 402 Views
We have a General Assembly and a Moderator. - 12/05/2011 04:18:34 PM 1026 Views
I had no idea the US was based on that system. - 12/05/2011 06:22:58 PM 867 Views
It is pretty common practice - 12/05/2011 06:54:02 PM 898 Views
Oh I'm sure it is with newer churches. - 12/05/2011 10:49:11 PM 960 Views
I'm happy to hear this, personally. I also wonder how you reconcile this with the Bible. - 12/05/2011 04:11:31 AM 1097 Views
Every direct reference to homosexuality in the Bible is a reference to rape. - 12/05/2011 04:12:43 PM 924 Views
Every single word that you wrote in your response is complete bullshit. - 12/05/2011 05:50:07 PM 1056 Views
Knock off your eisegesis, try some exegesis - 12/05/2011 07:02:45 PM 969 Views
I'm trying to figure out just what your "gifts" are, because I don't see any. - 12/05/2011 07:30:39 PM 935 Views
Oh, is that how we're playing this, then? - 13/05/2011 06:29:31 PM 944 Views
Re: Oh, is that how we're playing this, then? - 13/05/2011 07:02:35 PM 925 Views
I'm not playing. I'm pointing out some glaring errors on your part. - 13/05/2011 07:25:08 PM 850 Views
Danny will correct me if I'm wrong, but... - 13/05/2011 09:55:14 PM 1048 Views
Danny persistently refuses to say that - 13/05/2011 10:13:55 PM 984 Views
And with respect to your textual point, once again you're wrong - 12/05/2011 07:44:10 PM 1072 Views
You're a fucking moron. *NM* - 15/05/2011 11:11:08 PM 426 Views
You make a very important but too often overlooked point. - 14/05/2011 01:54:40 AM 1050 Views
??? the bible was harsher on homosexulaity than on rape - 12/05/2011 06:56:43 PM 909 Views
Read Judges. - 12/05/2011 07:17:29 PM 917 Views
Another example... - 12/05/2011 09:19:52 AM 839 Views
That's what people said about churches opposing slavery. - 12/05/2011 04:06:26 PM 904 Views
I rest my case *NM* - 12/05/2011 04:48:32 PM 394 Views
That is a false dichotomy and we both know it. - 14/05/2011 02:07:19 AM 892 Views
If you claim to follow the entire Bible, then you are completely correct. - 12/05/2011 06:04:38 PM 835 Views
On the contrary, this move will take some butts out of the seats. - 12/05/2011 07:16:22 PM 889 Views
We both know that isn't the case - 12/05/2011 07:55:41 PM 990 Views
Whatever your issue is, get over it. - 13/05/2011 06:17:26 PM 854 Views
You'd be a lot more effective... - 13/05/2011 06:45:31 PM 972 Views
You haven't adequately expressed your theology - 13/05/2011 07:28:54 PM 952 Views
