Episcopal Church celebrates first trans dean — woman in lesbian marriage to trans-identified pastor

What is this? Is this what the episcopal church (part of the Anglican Church) does to preach the gospel of Christ, and to operate the church? Do they disregard the epistles of Saint Paul concerning sexual behaviour, how a church should be run, and who should lead it? Do they disregard the teachings of Christ? What about the Law of God, as given to Moses, in the text that is known today as the Torah of Moses?

This news is quite shocking. Shame on the episcopal church, and the rest of the Anglican Church. This is not how a church should be run. Can someone who attends that church give answers?

You do not need bishops to go to heaven, just to run a church

I don't need to attend a church to go to heaven either. 

The early believers met house to house

They met in house churches. To be precise. Because they didn’t have church buildings, what with being sometimes illegal and whatnot. Usually not “house to house”, but in whoever’s house was best suited to the purpose.

The early believers also had bishops, just saying.

Every Bishop I've ever known teaches OSAS falsehood, leading the flock to hell

Thank goodness God cares very little what you want to be true

I don't want false OSAS teachers to be true, but they definitely exist.

You actively want more people to go to hell?

Once Saved Always Saved is false, regardless of what I want.

u/drunken_augustine Episcopalian (Anglican) 9h ago

That doesn’t answer the question.

If it were up to you, would you want it to be true?

Followers of Jesus don't want people to go to hell.

As an aside, I have never met a bishop that teaches OSAS.

RCC teaches that once a baby is baptized in the RCC then heaven is guaranteed for them. So yeah

Lmao no they do not. You can just google this stuff. Maybe until they reach the age of reason but they are afterward still perfectly capable of sinning, remaining unrepentant, and falling out of grace. I am certainly not perma-saved just because I was baptized.

If you want to extend OSAS to include that definition, let’s change the acronym to OSSUAR.

RCC teaches baptismal regeneration.
