]]> community within the Anglican Communion committed to promote teach and maintain the Scriptural truths on which the Anglican Church was founded. These also guarantee its fellowship with Christians down history and throughout the world. Faithfulness to Scripture as God's Word is essential for sharing the love and purpose of God in Jesus Christ. Following the meeting at All Souls Langham Place on Tuesday 1st July a petition is available for signature for those individuals within the Church of England in England who wish to indicate their solidarity with the GAFCON movement. The wording of the petition is,"I stand in solidarity with the Jerusalem Declaration and Statement on the Global Anglican Future."For those wishing to sign as a PCC or an organised group. A petition for those not in the Church of England The Jerusalem Declaration and Statement may be Bishop Gene Robinson has continued to gain a hearing for his ’progressive’ views which target what he considers to be oppressive heterosexist bigotry in the Anglican communion.  His latest public appearance in Hong Kong was positively written up in an article by Nigel Collett:  ’The bible knows nothing of homosexual orientations says bishop gene robinson’.  Given +Gene’s theology this conclusion is not surprising. It would be very interesting to know what evidence has been used to reach it however.    Prof Rob Gagnon begs to differ and here cites pro-gay biblical scholars and their arguments in explaining why.  He writes: Similarly. Bernadette Brooten who has written the most important book on lesbianism in antiquity and its relation to early Christianity (especially Rom 1:26) at least from a pro-homosex perspective criticized both John Boswell and Robin Scroggs for their use of an exploitation argument: ‘Boswell argued that. “The early Christian church does not appear to have opposed homosexual behavior per se.” The sources on female homoeroticism that I present in this book run absolutely counter to (this conclusion). (p. 11) If the dehumanizing aspects of pederasty motivated Paul to condemn sexual relations between males then why did he condemn relations between females in the same sentence? . Rom 1:27 like Lev 18:22 and 20:13 condemns all males in male-male relationships regardless of age making it unlikely that lack of mutuality or concern for the passive boy were Paul’s central concerns. The ancient sources which rarely speak of sexual relations between women and girls undermine Robin Scroggs’s theory that Paul opposed homosexuality as pederasty.’ ( (the passive male partners in a male homosexual bond) and other sexually unorthodox persons were born that way and yet still condemn them as unnatural and shameful. I believe that Paul used the word “exchanged” to indicate that people knew the natural sexual order of the universe and left it behind. I see Paul as condemning all forms of homoeroticism as the unnatural acts of people who had turned away from God.’ (p. 244) (Back to Rob)  On the issue of homosexual orientation incidentally which many today still falsely claim to be radically new knowledge note the following quotation from Thomas K. Hubbard: ‘Homosexuality in this era (viz. of the early imperial age of Rome) may have ceased to be merely another practice of personal pleasure and began to be viewed as an essential and central category of personal identity exclusive of and antithetical to heterosexual orientation.’ ( 135 for thinking that Paul might be speaking in Rom 1:26-27 ‘only of same-sex acts performed by those who are by nature heterosexual.’ But he then dismisses the suggestion: ‘But such a phenomenon does not excuse some other form of same-sex eros in the mind of a person like Philo. Moreover we would expect Paul to make that form of the argument more explicit if he intended it. Paul’s wholesale attack on Greco-Roman culture makes better sense if like Josephus and Philo he lumps all forms of same-sex eros together as a mark of Gentile decadence.’ ( have included them in Romans 1:24-27. For him there is no individual inversion or inclination that would make this conduct less culpable. Presumably nothing would have made Paul approve homoerotic behavior.’ ( A conception of caring homoerotic unions already existed in Paul’s cultural environment and yet even these unions were rejected by some Greco-Roman moralists. For example in a late first-century / early second-century (A. D.) debate over heterosexual and homosexual bonds. Plutarch’s friend Daphnaeus admits that homosexual relationships are not necessarily exploitative for ‘union contrary to nature does not destroy or curtail a lover’s tenderness.’ Yet he declares even when a ‘union with males’ is conducted ‘willingly’ it remains ’shameful’ since males ‘with softness ( 751). Even in the non-Jewish milieu of the Mediterranean basin. ‘literature of the first century C. E bears witness to an increasing polarization of attitudes toward homosexual activity ranging from frank acknowledgment and public display of sexual indulgence on the part of leading Roman citizens to severe moral condemnation of 383 emphasis added). If even some sectors of the ‘pagan’ world were beginning to develop absolute opposition to all forms of homosexual practice what is the likelihood that Paul would have made exceptions for committed homosexual unions given that he operated out of Jewish Scriptures and a Jewish milieu that were unequivocally opposed to homosexual practice and given too that he was a disciple of a figure (Jesus) who predicated his views about human sexuality on the exclusive male-female model in the creation texts?

http://randythomas.org/2007/11/12/evangelical-ministry-working-to-reverse-youth-trends-regarding-homosexuality ]]> ]]> big broach we’re under grace. Finally. I’m dropping this topic after this post. To summarize Todd’s sermon he said that the only biblical reasons for divorce are when an unbeliever leaves a believer and in cases of adultery. Then he wrote the following blog to answer some popular questions a clump of populate at my perform emailed. At the end. I’ll also consider where he answered my questions specifically. gratify note that anything indented in this blog are his words not mine. 1. Under what circumstances can a Christ-follower get remarried?I’m going to start with the air of remarriage. There are two possible scenarios that should be dealt with here (I seem to be a fan of lists don’t I?): 1. A Christ-follower who has been divorced for the reasons cited in the sermon (divorcing an unrepentant adulterer or divorcing an unbelieving spouse who deserts the believer).2. A Christ-follower who has been through a divorce for a reason other than the two biblically permitted situations. For the person who has been through a divorce for the two Biblically permitted reasons the answer is simple – this person is not bound to the relationship any longer and is free to remarry remembering the all-important fact that these two ‘allowances’ for break are NOT excuses to get out of a marriage but rather they are allowances from God for the most extreme circumstances of unrepentance on the part of the offending spouse and are to remove the offended spouse from bondage. I evaluate it is important to also say that even though a person gets divorced for a Biblically allowable reason this does not mean that this person ‘should’ remarry. The Bible actually encourages singleness or reconciliation of the marriage over remarriage. We sight this in Paul’s first earn to the church in Corinth: Paul then goes on in this passage to inform that a believer is not bound to an unbelieving spouse who abandons him or her (as we’ve already discussed). Yet at the same time God gives grace to the offended party and allows for them to conjoin and for the remarriage not to be considered adultery. The more difficult question is whether or not a Christ-follower can remarry if they have been divorced for reasons other than the two given in Scripture. As I look at Scripture it is clear that: God desperately wants us to reconcile with our former spouse even if a desire amount of time has elapsed. This is God’s intend on all occasions with marriages – reconciliation. This pursuit of reconciliation with the marriage is a life-long pursuit and remarriage blocks that pursuit. If a person obtains a divorce on unbiblical grounds and one of the parties then gets remarried they have committed adultery against the spouse that has remained single. The spouse who has remained hit is now freed from that marriage for Biblical grounds and is free to remarry. McLean Bible perform and Frontline have a “” on our web site that I would recommend to all Frontliners. It says much of what I’ve explained here but has some additional information that applies specifically to new believers. You carry up the challenge that I hear most often…What do we do with a Christian who has divorced his or her spouse for reasons other than the biblically allowable reasons? We’re left with a seemingly “no win” scenario. Is the person who remarries then living a life on ongoing adultery? Bottom line - ending a remarriage through break would be just as sinful as ending the first marriage in divorce. I could go into detail from Leviticus 20:10 then to Deuteronomy 24:1-4 to show that nowhere in the Bible does God dominate a person who remarries to divorce. (I’ll get that to those of you who are more studious). Instead let me say that once a person remarries they should do all they must to live out their remarriage in a Christ-centered. Christ-honoring way. (Eph 5:22-23). Todd later asserted that the difference in the homosexual bring together and remarried couple is that the homosexual bring together can never be under the marriage pledge as established by God. A remarried couple is and while it may undergo been sin to marry they are also expected to honor that pledge. The difference is this…the remarried couple must ask for forgiveness and go through a process of restoration but they must now remain in the new marriage and attempt to honor God in their new marriage from now on. The homosexual couple however is called to stop engaging in the relationship because the relationship and the act of sex within the relationship go against God’s evince. Wow that was a long blog. Again. I’m simply reporting what my perform teaches for thought and reflection. The deeper significance of what these past few blogs are about is how we as a perform tend to slowly change our interpretation of scripture based on changing social standards. We can either hear what the bible has to say and change our lifestyle hear what the bible has to say and discount it as irrelevant/oudated/affect to interpretation or hear what the bible has to say and ignore it. (For more on this read my blog “An Evangelical Rethink on break” and the comments Jason and Tim posted.) Thanks to everyone who has participated in this jaunt of exceed understanding what the bible says about divorce. Pastor Henning was discussing this Wednesday night; the concept of how we choose and loose portions of Scripture to support our cultural norms. We try to alter the Bible more comfortable. A week or so ago after reading your little post about divorce. I decided to do a little research on my own. If you get a come about or you may already be familiar with check out the divorce between famous televangelists Randy and Paula White. These two huge church leaders felt that their careers were going in different directions so they decided to get divorced after like 18 years of marriage. Its an interesting story and their explanations and usage of the Bible are intriguing at least. I think I bend toward this interpretation as well. I feel that it’s very balanced. Also. I would say that someone is held much more accountable if they go against scripture in this issue if they understand it as written. In other words if you know you’re held more accountable. If you inform it you’re held even more accountable (James 2). I am searching for information on divorce and I found this. It really helps me. I comfort undergo unanswered questions that maybe someone can back up with. My preserve in 7 years comfort wont act to me as much as he does with everything else in his life. He doesnt follow what the bible teaches about loving and honoring eachother. This is really affecting my entire being. I have tried everything with this man. Do I stay with him and experience because by the bible i am not supposed to divorce for reasons not listed. And if I ever do find the alter person. I will be commiting adultry if I am with that person. Can anyone help?
