"BISHOP SAYS, "THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT DEEPLY PRESENT IN THE LIVES OF GAY CHRISTIANS""


According to this article at  http://www.episcopalchurch.org/3577_52922_ENG_HTM.htm?menu=undefined Presiding Episcopal Bishop Frank Griswold said,  "There are those among us who perceive the fruit of the Spirit deeply present in the lives of gay and lesbian Christians, both within the church and in their relationships. However, other equally faithful persons among us regard same gender relationships as contrary to scripture.  Consequently, we continue to struggle with questions regarding sexuality."
 
  According to Jude verses 17-19, the Apostle Paul said, " But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who shouild walk after their own ungodly lusts.  These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit."
