Heretic in Bishop's Garb

The Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katherine Jefferts Schori doesn't care how people get 'saved' and has stated that there are many paths to God other than Jesus Christ, God's chosen Way. She recently stated: "How people get saved is really a matter for God to figure out, not for me to figure out. My job is to figure out how to be the best follower of Jesus that I can." Sadly, she hasn't a clue
about the nature of true Christian discipleship since she lacks obedience to the Faith once delivered. For as Jesus, the Son of God, claimed concerning Himself: "I am the door.
If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved." (John 10:9)

She also refered to the ruler-priests of the Old Testament as having messy families, obviously in ignorance of the very orderly and consistent nature of their kinship pattern. She said, "In the Old Testament, there are lots of examples of what holy and blessed marriage looks like, and what unholy marriage looks like," she said, "including polygamy and concubines being normal."

What's that, Schori? You're saying that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses had unholy marriages because they all had 2 wives?

She later added, "In the 1600s ... one of the main reasons for marriage was to 'avoid fornication.' But since that word doesn't appear in the Episcopal Church prayer book (1979) Schori isn't concerned about fornication.

"That's not in our prayer book now," she said. "We say that the primary goal and good of marriage is companionship. That's different from even what the first Anglicans said. If our goal is to help people live holy lives, which I think is the church's function, maybe we could think about people of the same sex living holy lives together."

Amazing what heresies Schori and her cohorts will resort to in order to establish The Episcopal Church as the Gay/Lesbian/Bi-sexual/Trans-sexual/Pedophile Church of America.
