"I'm convinced I'm no abomination!"

Back in February, the Boston Globe indicated openly gay Episcopal bishop Eugene Robinson of New Hampshire had sent an e-mail to fellow clergymen declaring, "I am writing to you from an alcohol treatment center where on Feb. 1, with the encouragement and support of my partner, daughters and colleagues, I checked myself in to deal with my increasing dependence on alcohol."

While I don't like to cast stones as I am a lowly sinner saved only by the grace of God myself, I reasoned to myself at that time, based on yet another obstacle arising in the case of Eugene Robinson that should prevent him from holding his office, that the Episcopal Church would take a look at what was already a pitiful decision on its part and say, "Enough!" I was wrong. As such, the good bishop Eugene Robinson, an abandoner of his wife and children, an apostate, and an alcoholic continues to make a mockery of the Word of God while feigning as a representative of the Christian faith.

With February a whole four months behind him, Robinson is in the news once again, spouting off in favor of adultery and sexual misconduct. As I have in the past and will continue to as long as this man holds the position he does, I'm going to take his pro-homosexual rhetoric to task, demonstrating the deceitful manner in which he deals with the Word of God.

Robinson's latest apostate statement comes as the Episcopal Church is presently holding its General Convention. According to a Telegraph article, Robinson said, before a packed church hearing held at the convention, "I'm convinced I'm not an abomination in the eyes of God. Please, let us say our prayers and stand up for right." Notice what Robinson said because it's manipulative of what Scripture teaches on the topic of homosexuality, hardly an example of "standing up for right!"

Robinson says he is convinced that he "is not an abomination in the eyes of God." Robinson's comments are typical of the propaganda those who practice the sin of homosexuality utilize whenever the issue of their desire to live outside the will of God is addressed by those who adhere to the teachings of Scripture.

They strive, almost exclusively, to make the sin of homosexuality one with their person, as opposed to addressing the matter of their sin itself. The two are not one and the same, contrary to what Robinson would have us to believe.

While Eugene Robinson is correct in stating that he is not an abomination in the eyes of God, his sin, on the other hand, is most definitely an abomination in the eyes of God, as revealed in Scripture!

Leviticus 18:22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

The Word of God says thou (the portion of this Scripture that addresses all people) shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind! That means that no one is to engage in the practice of homosexuality.

Why is one not to lie with mankind as with womankind? Because it ("it" being the practice of homosexuality) is abomination. It - the sin of homosexuality - is an abomination in the eyes of God!

Bishop Robinson, as the Telegraph article indicates, is doing everything within his power to prevent the Episcopal church from banning homosexuals from the office of bishop, even temporarily. The future of the Anglican Church's association with the US Episcopal Church may well hang in the balance, based on the decision the Episcopal Church's General Convention, which currently remains in session, ultimately reaches. Robinson and those who support his homosexualization of the priesthood could care less!

What is left to be said of bishop Eugene Robinson that hasn't been said here before? He isn't a minister of God's Word, but a minister of his own personal take on God's Word! Unfortunately for bishop Robinson, his personal spin on God's Word doesn't change his accountability to it (or anyone else's) in the least!

Proverbs 14:12: There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Matthew 17:15-20: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

In closing, to anyone who would believe a word from the blasphemous mouth of Eugene Robinson concerning spiritual things, consider yourself forewarned that he is a crafty and manipulative deceiver - one who cleverly plays on words. By Eugene Robinson's fruits, however, his underlying nature is clearly shown.

So slick are some who possess the gentle mannerisms of Eugene Robinson it's hard to see the evil that exists just below the surface of their outward appearances. Men of his type are a warning concerning the lateness of the hour we're living in - one I hope all my site's readers will make note of and take a public stand against. Why? Because his deceptions threaten the eternal souls of all those who believe him and continue to live in rebellion against the will of God, of course!

Mark 13:22: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
