Homosexual Bishop Wants to Set Aside the Gospel

It's the work of the Gospel that homosexual V. Gene Robinson wants to set aside.

From Breitbart.com:

New Hampshire Bishop V. Gene Robinson said in a statement that Episcopalians should set aside the Anglican Communion's request for now 'and get on with the work of the Gospel' even at the risk of losing their place in the Anglican fellowship.


The gospel of Jesus Christ, when accepted, sets people free from the sin that enslaves us. It doesn't excuse it, it doesn't call it "normal, natural and healthy;" it enables people to call it what it is and break free of it.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


The church is full of nasty people (I'm one of them)...who are turning away from their nastiness.

The whole of Romans chapter 6 addresses this changed freedom, but here's an excerpt:

When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.


This man V. Gene Robinson has no credibility at all on this issue, because he is deep, deep in unrepentant sin.

Even born-again Christians still sin sometimes. But you'll seldom see one trying to excuse his sin by saying it isn't sin.

The Gospel is about Jesus setting the captives free, not telling the captives that their slavery is normal, natural and healthy.
