News Flash: The Church is Falling!

Remember the story from your childhood "The Sky is Falling?"

Well, now there is a new story out there, sadly much more destructive than the heavens raining down. We are literally seeing the church falling from the status of bride of Christ, to a warped version of a self-made moralistic crowd rejecting the Cornerstone of our faith. The vote to strike heterosexual marriage commitment from this denomination's governing principals for "ensuring commitment of its ordained officers to the duties of faith" is most certainly in opposition of the Scriptures.

Remember this Scripture?
I Peter 2:6-9
For it says in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will never be put to shame.” So you who believe see his value, but for those who do not believe, the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, and a stumbling-stone and a rock to trip over. They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Another Scripture, I Timothy 3:16, states "Every Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" [italics mine]

On the basis that God himself inspired the Word of God (known as the Bible), here is a Scripture that would directly contradict this "interpretation" being done by the advisory committee members for this church denomination:
I Corinthians 6:9, 10
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive, and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God."
To seal the truth of this passage the next verse (I Corinthians 6:11) states,
"Some of you once lived this way. 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." [bold, italics mine]

News Flash: We don't have a choice. God determines sin, evil, and unrighteousness; we were made in His image; we are not His mirror image, so we don't get to interpret His Word to "mean" what makes sense to us. May God forgive those practicing under the delusion that they are ordained by God to make those decisions.
