"LATEST BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT & JESUS"


Below is the latest blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and Jesus taken from an article at http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2613
 
  "IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT about the direction the Episcopal Church is going, then heed these words of the Rev. Michael Hopkins, gay Integrity leader and bishop wannabee. He gave them at a sermon he preached at St. Luke & St. Simon Cyrene in Rochester, N.Y., recently. "For years I, among many others, have been accused of being among those who have an agenda of the acceptance of the legitimacy of homosexuality. Guilty as charged. I am absolutely guilty of promoting the acceptance of the Christian lifestyle lived among all people, including homosexual ones. I have the agenda of the church approving and blessing same-sex love and commitment. I have the agenda of the church proclaiming that sexual orientation is not a bar to Holy Spirit-inspired ministry."
 
 

"'Do you have the agenda of overturning centuries of Christian teaching about homosexuality, what the Bible says about homosexuals?' Pat Buchanan once asked me incredulously in a TV interview. I said something wonderfully nuanced. I should have simply said, 'Absolutely." The Bible ' and the church have both been wrong. The Holy Spirit is teaching this to us. Jesus said she would do things like this, and we shouldn't be surprised when she does.'"
 
  2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
 
  However, according to Leviticus 18:1, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" in Leviticus 18:22 were actually the words the Lord spake to Moses, and the Holy Spirit and Jesus would not say something different from what the Lord or the Bible says. Jesus also said according to  Matthew 12:31,  "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.  32  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
