Any two Christians can live together and love each other, but marriage is for men and women. "Find out what pleases God" is a good guide.Keep your special friendship pleasing to God and be content that are chastely adored by God and your other special friend. (be aware that some may not understand chaste relationships, so also be wise!)

The Word of GOD is infallible. No truer words were ever spoken, and the guidelines are clear. Now, it has spread from America to England. This is one reason we have separation of church and state, although the churches seem to follow the state, especially over this same subject.

Also......descriptions of how one should beat their slaves. Is that still acceptable? Churches are full of bigotry and divisiveness. Truly awful and fosters discrimination and all the harm that does. It's not even as if homosexuality is not natural. It is, throughout the animal kingdom. It also harms literally no one. It's the pure hatred of religions! Disgusting
I know a couple of people who are part of General Synod and have stood by Gods word and have fought this. They are banging their heads against the wall. The people pushing this through are lead by Satan.
The cofe lost its way in the 60s, when it softened on divorce. Then again in the 90s, with female priests. Faithful evangelical Anglicans - be courageous. Reject the root, not just the symptoms.
1 Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. And so the CofE will be teaching and trying to bless sinful acts between same sex couples. Pure unmitigated evil.
Rebecca thank you for fighting for what is true and holy God bless you we are all praying for your ongoing work ‘fight the good fight with all your might’
LLF….. Living in lust and fornication. Ephesians 5:31-32 and Genesis “For this reason a man will leave his mother and father and be united to his wife, and two will become one flesh.” That clearly does NOT mean 2 men or 2 women can get married in the eyes of God.
I'm afraid that to Christians outside the C of E, it's been obvious all along that the hierarchy has wanted to push through this change. The only question was how they would navigate it. I'm sorry for orthodox Anglicans who have been ambushed.
The Free Evangelical Church like the C of E don't have the Sacrament of Holy Communion i.e. the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ to partake in - see John 6:51-56 & Lords Supper in Bible. You can recieve the Eucharist by becoming Catholic or Orthodox. God bless you
I’m out. I have refused to complete safeguarding training because of the language ( inclusive gender language, advice can be found on Stonewall site & ‘toxic masculinity’ as a concept’). After 46 years in ministry I can no longer accept that the CofE has any doctrinal integrity. Sadly I don’t know what I will do, God has an answer, praying I will discern properly.
So sad that you have been forced to make this decision, I came to faith 30 years ago, the CofE was my spiritual home, I even offered for ordination in 2010, but thankfully God closed the door, and I wasn't accepted for training, I left the church 3 years ago, I now worship at a none denomination church, watch and pray, the good Lord will lead you in the right way. God bless

@@paulaivens8063 I’m not saying you don’t. I’m referencing some of the passages in the Bible that seem to be missed continuously in this whole debate of same sex relationships. I hope they can be useful to people. The church has had this same kind of debate since it began- same sex relationships are the current topic- the early church debated circumcision in the same way, female ministers was a more recent one, what types of sex are ok, what foods are ok, whether or not dancing and music is ok- the debate on same-sex relationships isn’t unique.
I don't understand why the orthodox clergy and bishops can't officially separate.The line has been drawn.The progressives won't change,why keep dragging the issue. The church belongs to Christ and their job is to protect the sheep from wolves.
Jesus will remove the lamp from them as He warns in Revelation. All the churches that embrace all this false teaching will be spiritually dead. No Holy Spirit present there. The leaders will not have the Holy Spirit so I can't imagine what types of things they will teach if anything. They will close their doors soon and the buildings turn into luxury apartments or demolished. It's happening everywhere. Even listed buildings are being demolished or vandalised so the buildings themselves are soon to go. They have sealed their own demise. Thankfully we don't need a building to worship God and follow Him as He lives in all who abide in Him and His Word.
Accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour be Born Again. Christianity is personal individualistic not a religion. It's a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
It's a Very dangerous thing to try to change the word of God scripture. Yesterday today forever Jesus is the same, all may change but Jesus never. It's an Abomination to have same sex marriages
Teresagibson2974. True. Our lords teachings in the CofE have fully been broken by bishops et al. No longer attend Church of England because of this abomination, as their is no church local that is true to scripture, their is only online services available.
Fair point but the CofE rejected transubstantiation in the 1500's and severed Apostolic Succession so this also changed the word of God in Scripture. God bless you
My Church is Jesus, all this confusion takes our eyes away from him. There is so much trickery in the world so i just focus on Christ now. I need a leader not a distraction. The church has been corrupted, I know it.
@@chrismachin2166 I believe that God's word to us is clear and permanent. Mere mortals like ourselves think and act in ways God doesn't. His word is final. None of this let's change things up to suit ourselves
Where in our Bible does it say that it is ok for people who are homosexual or lesbian to married to the extent of inclusion. They have taken the word of God and used it to suit there sinful ways. The established church has failed to uphold the truth of Gods word by allowing it to allow such sinful changes to their canons. May God be merciful and bring them back to the correct Biblical teachings.
The Bible does not say it is OK to transplant organs, but I think most would agree that is OK, or even good. That was my point in response to your statement.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. It's obviously good that God given intelligence as medical staff have aids and benefits human kind and that medical care has improved over years, but that as an example of what the Bible does or does not say about sinful human beings is a poor one. Are saying that same sex relationships are OK, in which case you are wrong, and there specific passages that record this. Churches cannot bend the truth to suit sin, as those involved in such practices can ask to be an 'included' people. That isn't how God's church is, we are all sinners, some are saved by grace, but we are all sinners, and some will choose not to be saved, and those sexual practices of same sex are sinful.
Either G-d the Father is right or we are right. The Scriptures are full of what happens when we think we are right - and the disasterous consequences that result from doing so. We never learn. Paul, again, reminds us of those consequences when he says, in Romans, what G-d the Father will do if we insist on doing what is right in our own eyes walking out from under the cover of Grace - *reprobate minds,* blind and deaf to The Truth. Look up the list of blessings and curses in Deuteronomy (yes, the Old Testament, but it is G-d the Father who said, both, "I never change from everlasting" and "My Word remains" - also, yes, paraphrased) for both obeying and disobeying The Law - anyone outside of the Grace of G-d the Father in Jesus, the Christ, comes under the Law, and *that includes those who think they are Christians but are not,* Nicolatians, of whom Jesus explicity says in Revelations *He hates!* Yes, Jesus hates sin, but also *those who lead people into their sin,* for us it means what our C of E leaders, who support LLF, or any variant of it, *straight into Hell* because they cause poor trusting believers to follow then as their new version of teaching has a Christianised veneer, are actually trying to do! They are anathema!! And often, because of lack of knowledge and sound Biblical teaching , G-d the Father says *they will perish!* Who is sounding the trumpet in the Church this explicitly? Very few, if any. Many of my fellow parishoners, who maybe read Church Times or the local Diocesan rag, doesn't really know, if anything, what is going on and often don't want to know, even if Scripture is used to prove The Truth! If the C of E, despite the Archbishop's smooth words, continue on this course in the UK, after all of the schisms and warnings from the Anglican Communion worldwide, it will be the Walking Dead Church, because it won't know it has become Ichabod, if it already isn't!
The horror that unrepented homosexuals will experience one day, will equal those who blasphemed the Holy Spirit. The Bible, Gods Word, is crystal clear on both subjects.
The Culture does NEVER dictate our lives or scripture, but scripture is to dictate how we live. Woe to you Church of England for departing from the faith. Marriage is instituted by God and therefore man can NOT redefine marriage.
As l see it, the wake-up call is to Scripture. Many congregations have been spoon-fed and haven't studied or read the Scriptures for themselves and are easily led astray. The god of this world has crept into the pulpit. There is no denying that passions are powerful but not correct when in line with scripture. As soon as doctrine has been changed in favour of sin. Run!
This is heartbreaking. We are in a charismatic church but love you Anglicans. There is a British value of not offending others which seems to be placed above the authority of scripture. Anglican 'kindness' has led to a crack in the door which will soon be thrown open. Thankfully, the growing churches are those which still believe the whole book. Praying for you!
Your words painfully express the fact that you cannot trust the leaders of your denomination. You are right not to do so. The difference between you and them is fundamental. John Stott may have been right at the time of the Lloyd-Jones debate, but 2024 is not the same time. Read John Stott on same-sex issues. There is no alternative but to leave.
Have you heard of Richard Bennet? He was a 20 year Dominican priest who was saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ through reading the Bible. With all due respect as a former Roman Catholic, there's no salvation in her. Only in Christ! Ephesians 2:8-9. God bless you.

"We do not adjust the Bible to the age, but rather with God's help we should be adjusting the age to the Bible." Never a truer word spoken than by Charles Haden Spurgeon. God will intervene in His good time.
The C of E is no longer a part of Christs body it is a religious/political institution whose standards are dictated to by society ‘norms’ and not by Christs teachings.
God bless you for sharing this video and your call for prayer. It’s sad the path the CoE has chosen to go. No matter what the situation, a remnant shall remain to fight for godly living in accordance to scripture. Our prayers are with you. Be bold, be strong. Fight the good fight of faith.
This is a real issue that needs addressing one way or the other. I’m someone who’s had a strong FAITH for many many years. I’ve only recently taken the step into formal religion. I’ve looked into Methodist, Catholic and Anglican. Attended quite a few services in each. I wanted to follow my path and settle and then commit to a Religious path. I have read King James Bible. I’m currently reading Bible in one year. I am aware that this singular issue is divisive and has caused people to leave or change to different religious paths. I have asked our Priest for Clarity but it’s clear that there’s no direction for him to follow. He replies in sensitivity. My issue is that in the Bible - the scripture that we are to follow. Teachings are clearly stated. The Church seems to have a responsibility to represent all communities in Faith but this one issue is so contradictory it’s causing many to suffer confusion. Recently I read that the Pope has also taken the same line. Which was surprising for me. But according to Faith the Pope is the representative of God here on Earth if I’ve understood it correctly? So yes I’m very confused as a new joiner to religion. I would really like a clear message please. Then at least I can know for sure. This matter isn’t just a religious or dare I say political issue but it’s very real for Christians of many faiths. This one in particular just wants to know from our church leaders a clear message please.
Don't get me started on Catholicism. Have you read your Bible cover to cover at least once? And made the comparison between the contents therein and Catholic dogma. Huss, Wycliffe, Tyndale and Luther did. The result: sola Scriptura in the native tongue for each country, end of Latin services the laity could not understand, end of indulgences for sin, end of 'relics ' for sale. The return of a personal relationship with Almighty God through His Son without a priestly mediator. Hallelujah! Back on track.
Amen catholicsm is the elephant in the room and a light is shining in that corner. There will always be staunch Protestants who hate it even though it is true.
@@toneyh1 If you say there is an elephant 🐘 in the room, you mean that there is an obvious problem or difficult situation that people do not want to talk about. Cambridge Dictionary definition.

Thank you. It's courageous these days to voice any view that is contrary to society. Essential when the church voices a view contrary to scripture. Still brave. Standing with 'the many'. BSA

After 11 years in the mission field, I felt a calling to go into ministry into the Anglican Church I was called a lay person because I don’t hold a theological certificate of any kind The ministry I’m in I teach the truth led by the Holy Spirit I’m not sure what these Bishops teach Praying for them and the Church
@alan77764, be sure of this: the Holy Spirit doesn't give up on anyone or thing He has sanctioned, but He has bypassed the Church Leadership in the C of E and has gone, imo, directly to convict the local fellowships of the need to get back to Bible basics. My source? Seven letters dictated to John the Revelator, as he wrote down what was told him, that Jesus dictated. Believe what you will concerning prophetic dispensations, church ages, ect, one thing is true - today's Church Politic is a mix of them all, culminating in this last age Church of Laidocea! That door Jesus is knocking on is not the heart of an unbeliever: *it is His Church, His soon-to-be Bride, to let Him back in before it is too late and Chapter 4 of Revelation begins!* Pray for your fellowship that Jesus will not remove His Lampstand. Blessings.
The Church of England seems to have been tempted by the Evil doer himself….there is only one road to Salvation and the Lord - it is through Jesus Christ.
As a fellow believer, I stand with you Rebecca for your stand on this. However, I think that Jesus was rather clear on how such matters should be dealt with in Matthew 18:15-20. We are an application of this in 1 Corinthians 5 and again in 1 Timothy 1 and 2 Timothy 2. Sadly, much has changed in the CoE in the last number of years and it will be difficult to apply church discipline once the horse has bolted. How I wish we believers would just read and apply what the Bible says in it lives: we would be so much the better for it.
I left the Anglican church a long time ago although I had been a faithful member since 1965. I was very sad to leave because I loved the prayer book but when i discovered that there were practising homosexuals among the clergy (not in the church I attended at the time) I could not continue giving and supporting any longer. We would be subsidising congregations run by unrepentant sinners, in effect. I would love to belong to an alternative Anglican-style group but in Wales where I live it seems that the church is "liberal".
What a brave woman to peak up and expose the apostasy of the church of England, my question is, where is the men that should stand with her here ? Next time she appears I want to see God fearing men standing with her and showing support and standing on God's word
For many years now, the C of E has tried to be 'culturally relevant', instead of remaining faithful to the Holy Scriptures. There is only One Way...Yahweh... 2 Chronicles 7:14 🙌📖✝️🙏❤️
There is no such thing as a same-sex "marriage".

The C of E should read 1 Corinthians chapter 6 and Romans chapter 1.
Also......descriptions of how one should beat their slaves. Is that still acceptable? Churches are full of bigotry and divisiveness. Truly awful and fosters discrimination and all the harm that does.
It's not even as if homosexuality is not natural. It is, throughout the animal kingdom. It also harms literally no one. It's the pure hatred of religions! Disgusting
I hope you follow all the old testament laws. Bet you don't, you will pick and chose which laws to follow. Anyone against gay marriage is a bigot.
The quote from Revelation is referring to the book itself of course, not to Leviticus.
CofE is beyond a bad joke, a total disgrace of an institution.
Adaptly named Synod -
A nod to sin
Keep going Christian concern 🙏🙏
Bang on the money Heather. Well said. Apt.
I know a couple of people who are part of General Synod and have stood by Gods word and have fought this. They are banging their heads against the wall. The people pushing this through are lead by Satan.
The cofe lost its way in the 60s, when it softened on divorce. Then again in the 90s, with female priests.
Faithful evangelical Anglicans - be courageous. Reject the root, not just the symptoms.
The way forward is Repentance
1 Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.
And so the CofE will be teaching and trying to bless sinful acts between same sex couples.
Pure unmitigated evil.
We should serve God and not the world we live in. The church of England is not the church you read about in the scriptures. Wake up!
I have also left the CofE and joined a local bible believing evangelical church.
Rebecca thank you for fighting for what is true and holy God bless you we are all praying for your ongoing work ‘fight the good fight with all your might’
Absolutely vile. It clearly states in the bible that God does not change ever, he is the same every day no matter the trends.
Shockingly its hard to find a church thats not compromising when it comes to Gods word, God's doctrines.
Orthodox, I'd suggest.
LLF….. Living in lust and fornication. Ephesians 5:31-32 and Genesis “For this reason a man will leave his mother and father and be united to his wife, and two will become one flesh.” That clearly does NOT mean 2 men or 2 women can get married in the eyes of God.
Keep telling the truth of Scripture, Rebecca
I'm afraid that to Christians outside the C of E, it's been obvious all along that the hierarchy has wanted to push through this change. The only question was how they would navigate it. I'm sorry for orthodox Anglicans who have been ambushed.
I left the C of E and now attend a Free Evangelical Church. ✝️
The Free Evangelical Church like the C of E don't have the Sacrament of Holy Communion i.e. the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ to partake in - see John 6:51-56 & Lords Supper in Bible. You can recieve the Eucharist by becoming Catholic or Orthodox.
God bless you
the Church trying to be part of or fit into the secular state will always end in disaster.
I’m out. I have refused to complete safeguarding training because of the language ( inclusive gender language, advice can be found on Stonewall site & ‘toxic masculinity’ as a concept’). After 46 years in ministry I can no longer accept that the CofE has any doctrinal integrity. Sadly I don’t know what I will do, God has an answer, praying I will discern properly.
He will never fail you, David. You are doing the right thing. Keep trusting.
So sad that you have been forced to make this decision, I came to faith 30 years ago, the CofE was my spiritual home, I even offered for ordination in 2010, but thankfully God closed the door, and I wasn't accepted for training, I left the church 3 years ago, I now worship at a none denomination church, watch and pray, the good Lord will lead you in the right way. God bless
@@alanburgess7998 thanks for the reply and encouragement. I am involved in CVM (Christian vision for Men) and may become more involved. Quite a few clergy have quietly & gratefully retired and refused PTO. Just glad to have a way out. Many clergy don’t have a lot of options- not enough pension, no capital, families who are still dependent. Will continue in prayer.
@@davidpearson8232 I will pray for you my brother in Christ and all those who are faithful to God's word. He will never leave us, or forsake us, we must stay strong in the faith the good Lord has given us. Amen
There is the Catholic Church where you can recieve the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, as God intended, in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
God bless you
Culture centred as opposed to Christ centred.
Thank you Rebecca for explaining this so clearly. Please can we all pray for Rebecca and all who are contending for the Faith in the CoE 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Disgraceful!
Just asking Lindsay G, but which is disgraceful, this video or the proposed new doctrine?

@@lys2303 What makes you think I don’t?
@@paulaivens8063 I’m not saying you don’t. I’m referencing some of the passages in the Bible that seem to be missed continuously in this whole debate of same sex relationships. I hope they can be useful to people. The church has had this same kind of debate since it began- same sex relationships are the current topic- the early church debated circumcision in the same way, female ministers was a more recent one, what types of sex are ok, what foods are ok, whether or not dancing and music is ok- the debate on same-sex relationships isn’t unique.
Being a disciple of Jesus demands fidelity to the truth, and the truth is that marriage is between one man and one woman.
I don't understand why the orthodox clergy and bishops can't officially separate.The line has been drawn.The progressives won't change,why keep dragging the issue.
The church belongs to Christ and their job is to protect the sheep from wolves.
They win their victories and then, a few years later, they wonder where all the parishioners have gone.
Jesus will remove the lamp from them as He warns in Revelation. All the churches that embrace all this false teaching will be spiritually dead. No Holy Spirit present there. The leaders will not have the Holy Spirit so I can't imagine what types of things they will teach if anything. They will close their doors soon and the buildings turn into luxury apartments or demolished. It's happening everywhere. Even listed buildings are being demolished or vandalised so the buildings themselves are soon to go. They have sealed their own demise.
Thankfully we don't need a building to worship God and follow Him as He lives in all who abide in Him and His Word.
abandoning the bible,next step will be many wives and partners imo
This is contrary to the clear instructions in the bible I think it's called sin
Accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour be Born Again. Christianity is personal individualistic not a religion. It's a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Amen - it truly is!!
AMEN
Thank you for fighting this corner on behalf of all the churches in England!
It's a Very dangerous thing to try to change the word of God scripture. Yesterday today forever Jesus is the same, all may change but Jesus never. It's an Abomination to have same sex marriages
Teresagibson2974. True. Our lords teachings in the CofE have fully been broken by bishops et al. No longer attend Church of England because of this abomination, as their is no church local that is true to scripture, their is only online services available.
Fair point but the CofE rejected transubstantiation in the 1500's and severed Apostolic Succession so this also changed the word of God in Scripture.
God bless you
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Heartbreaking
Bless you sister for your stance against this evil of apostasy 😇🙏🏼
My Church is Jesus, all this confusion takes our eyes away from him. There is so much trickery in the world so i just focus on Christ now. I need a leader not a distraction. The church has been corrupted, I know it.
Do you believe you had the free will to choose or reject Christ? Or do you believe Regeneration precedes Faith?
@@chrismachin2166 I believe that God's word to us is clear and permanent. Mere mortals like ourselves think and act in ways God doesn't. His word is final. None of this let's change things up to suit ourselves
Where in our Bible does it say that it is ok for people who are homosexual or lesbian to married to the extent of inclusion. They have taken the word of God and used it to suit there sinful ways. The established church has failed to uphold the truth of Gods word by allowing it to allow such sinful changes to their canons. May God be merciful and bring them back to the correct Biblical teachings.
May I comment that the Bible does not have to say something is OK for it to be OK.
Doesn't it, when did you read it last. Of course it does, the 10 commandments obviously stand out at what we as christians can or cannot do.
The Bible does not say it is OK to transplant organs, but I think most would agree that is OK, or even good. That was my point in response to your statement.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. It's obviously good that God given intelligence as medical staff have aids and benefits human kind and that medical care has improved over years, but that as an example of what the Bible does or does not say about sinful human beings is a poor one. Are saying that same sex relationships are OK, in which case you are wrong, and there specific passages that record this. Churches cannot bend the truth to suit sin, as those involved in such practices can ask to be an 'included' people. That isn't how God's church is, we are all sinners, some are saved by grace, but we are all sinners, and some will choose not to be saved, and those sexual practices of same sex are sinful.
No wonder the churches are empty
Incorrect. The Church of England's attendance is rising.
@@inthestillness1011 Ha@!!!!
Either G-d the Father is right or we are right. The Scriptures are full of what happens when we think we are right - and the disasterous consequences that result from doing so.
We never learn.
Paul, again, reminds us of those consequences when he says, in Romans, what G-d the Father will do if we insist on doing what is right in our own eyes walking out from under the cover of Grace - *reprobate minds,* blind and deaf to The Truth.
Look up the list of blessings and curses in Deuteronomy (yes, the Old Testament, but it is G-d the Father who said, both, "I never change from everlasting" and "My Word remains" - also, yes, paraphrased) for both obeying and disobeying The Law - anyone outside of the Grace of G-d the Father in Jesus, the Christ, comes under the Law, and *that includes those who think they are Christians but are not,* Nicolatians, of whom Jesus explicity says in Revelations *He hates!*
Yes, Jesus hates sin, but also *those who lead people into their sin,* for us it means what our C of E leaders, who support LLF, or any variant of it, *straight into Hell* because they cause poor trusting believers to follow then as their new version of teaching has a Christianised veneer, are actually trying to do! They are anathema!!
And often, because of lack of knowledge and sound Biblical teaching , G-d the Father says *they will perish!*
Who is sounding the trumpet in the Church this explicitly? Very few, if any. Many of my fellow parishoners, who maybe read Church Times or the local Diocesan rag, doesn't really know, if anything, what is going on and often don't want to know, even if Scripture is used to prove The Truth!
If the C of E, despite the Archbishop's smooth words, continue on this course in the UK, after all of the schisms and warnings from the Anglican Communion worldwide, it will be the Walking Dead Church, because it won't know it has become Ichabod, if it already isn't!
The horror that unrepented homosexuals will experience one day, will equal those who blasphemed the Holy Spirit. The Bible, Gods Word, is crystal clear on both subjects.
Marriage is NOT a cure for lust 😇
The Culture does NEVER dictate our lives or scripture, but scripture is to dictate how we live. Woe to you Church of England for departing from the faith. Marriage is instituted by God and therefore man can NOT redefine marriage.
As l see it, the wake-up call is to Scripture. Many congregations have been spoon-fed and haven't studied or read the Scriptures for themselves and are easily led astray. The god of this world has crept into the pulpit. There is no denying that passions are powerful but not correct when in line with scripture. As soon as doctrine has been changed in favour of sin. Run!
This is heartbreaking. We are in a charismatic church but love you Anglicans. There is a British value of not offending others which seems to be placed above the authority of scripture. Anglican 'kindness' has led to a crack in the door which will soon be thrown open. Thankfully, the growing churches are those which still believe the whole book. Praying for you!
Your words painfully express the fact that you cannot trust the leaders of your denomination. You are right not to do so. The difference between you and them is fundamental. John Stott may have been right at the time of the Lloyd-Jones debate, but 2024 is not the same time. Read John Stott on same-sex issues. There is no alternative but to leave.
That would be the Church of Satan....
I’m so glad that I left to become Roman Catholic and Latin Masses traditional Catholicism.
Have you heard of Richard Bennet? He was a 20 year Dominican priest who was saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ through reading the Bible. With all due respect as a former Roman Catholic, there's no salvation in her. Only in Christ! Ephesians 2:8-9. God bless you.
@@Scary_Sary So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. It is a mistake to have turned your back on the Sacrament of Holy Communion that can be rectified if you choose.
God bless you
So you venerate Mary rather than Jesus?
@@grahamegaw-mc3bw God wants us to worship God and venerate the Mother of God who prays for us and worships God. Try spending some time studying Church approved Marian apparitions e.g. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Las Lajas, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Zeitoun.
God bless you
We are facing similar turmoil here in the Australian Lutheran Church. I pray and hope that biblical teaching and adherence will win out. Stay firm in your faith and know you are supported by around 2000 years worth of reasoned understanding on matters such as these. God speed.
‘Do what thou wilst’ is the devil’s law…there is a good detailed book on the current culture of self….called ‘The Triumph of Self’ which explains where & how this false notion of self came from. Shame on those who ignore or deny God’s Word.
How do we get around the will and the word of God? I know we'll ignore it. I shall pray for those who are pandering to the sinfulness and worldliness. You cannot change the word of God. God help you as you will have to answer to the Lord for this.
"We do not adjust the Bible to the age, but rather with God's help we should be adjusting the age to the Bible." Never a truer word spoken than by Charles Haden Spurgeon. God will intervene in His good time.
Very sad😢😢
The C of E is no longer a part of Christs body it is a religious/political institution whose standards are dictated to by society ‘norms’ and not by Christs teachings.
Your in my prayers now ❤
God bless you for sharing this video and your call for prayer. It’s sad the path the CoE has chosen to go. No matter what the situation, a remnant shall remain to fight for godly living in accordance to scripture. Our prayers are with you. Be bold, be strong. Fight the good fight of faith.
Forget this Sectarians!
Praying. 🙏
This is a real issue that needs addressing one way or the other. I’m someone who’s had a strong FAITH for many many years. I’ve only recently taken the step into formal religion. I’ve looked into Methodist, Catholic and Anglican. Attended quite a few services in each. I wanted to follow my path and settle and then commit to a Religious path. I have read King James Bible. I’m currently reading Bible in one year.
I am aware that this singular issue is divisive and has caused people to leave or change to different religious paths.
I have asked our Priest for Clarity but it’s clear that there’s no direction for him to follow. He replies in sensitivity.
My issue is that in the Bible - the scripture that we are to follow. Teachings are clearly stated. The Church seems to have a responsibility to represent all communities in Faith but this one issue is so contradictory it’s causing many to suffer confusion.
Recently I read that the Pope has also taken the same line. Which was surprising for me. But according to Faith the Pope is the representative of God here on Earth if I’ve understood it correctly? So yes I’m very confused as a new joiner to religion.
I would really like a clear message please. Then at least I can know for sure.
This matter isn’t just a religious or dare I say political issue but it’s very real for Christians of many faiths. This one in particular just wants to know from our church leaders a clear message please.
The Catholic church is here 2000 years later, does that tell the Church of England anything?
Don't get me started on Catholicism. Have you read your Bible cover to cover at least once? And made the comparison between the contents therein and Catholic dogma.
Huss, Wycliffe, Tyndale and Luther did. The result: sola Scriptura in the native tongue for each country, end of Latin services the laity could not understand, end of indulgences for sin, end of 'relics ' for sale. The return of a personal relationship with Almighty God through His Son without a priestly mediator. Hallelujah! Back on track.
Amen catholicsm is the elephant in the room and a light is shining in that corner. There will always be staunch Protestants who hate it even though it is true.
@@toneyh1 If you say there is an elephant 🐘 in the room, you mean that there is an obvious problem or difficult situation that people do not want to talk about. Cambridge Dictionary definition.
That is not the case here. The light shining in the darkness is Jesus Christ. "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life. " John 8:12

I believe that the Bishops should be asked if they are homosexual? If they are they should be booted out.
Why? What if they are homosexual and choosing sacrificial celibacy? Surely those that choose such sacrifice are best to speak on such an issue.
What utter blasphemy to even suggest the idea. May you all repent before the Lord Jesus returns.

Please keep on doing the good work, and not be discouraged. God's law has to come back to the fore and will in time. Methinks the past is also the future. John S.E.
1 Corinthians 6: 9: - Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 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.

@alan77764, be sure of this: the Holy Spirit doesn't give up on anyone or thing He has sanctioned, but He has bypassed the Church Leadership in the C of E and has gone, imo, directly to convict the local fellowships of the need to get back to Bible basics. My source? Seven letters dictated to John the Revelator, as he wrote down what was told him, that Jesus dictated. Believe what you will concerning prophetic dispensations, church ages, ect, one thing is true - today's Church Politic is a mix of them all, culminating in this last age Church of Laidocea!
That door Jesus is knocking on is not the heart of an unbeliever: *it is His Church, His soon-to-be Bride, to let Him back in before it is too late and Chapter 4 of Revelation begins!*
Pray for your fellowship that Jesus will not remove His Lampstand. Blessings.
The CofE stopped being the body of CHRIST when it decided that women could be priest. It’s all down hill because of that.
God can't be Mocked Galatians 6:7 these people don't know the Real Jesus Christ or they would believe His Word !
If only they showed the same concern for falling attendances ! no wonder the CofE is dying ❤❤❤
The Church of England seems to have been tempted by the Evil doer himself….there is only one road to Salvation and the Lord - it is through Jesus Christ.
Be strong. Keep to the Gospel. Trust Jesus' words that a man leaves his parents and joins with his wife and the 2 become one...
Romans 1 clearly tells us we are not to have same sex a relationship. It is an abomination to the Lord.
And Romans 2 is also important to read, to put it into context.
It's a tragic situation out there in the UK, and the CoE
I was an Episcopalian for 20 years. I became Catholic 20 years ago. Best move of my life.
As a fellow believer, I stand with you Rebecca for your stand on this. However, I think that Jesus was rather clear on how such matters should be dealt with in Matthew 18:15-20. We are an application of this in 1 Corinthians 5 and again in 1 Timothy 1 and 2 Timothy 2. Sadly, much has changed in the CoE in the last number of years and it will be difficult to apply church discipline once the horse has bolted. How I wish we believers would just read and apply what the Bible says in it lives: we would be so much the better for it.
The injunctions in the Bible against homosexual behaviour are small in number but utterly clear in nature.
I left the Anglican church a long time ago although I had been a faithful member since 1965. I was very sad to leave because I loved the prayer book but when i discovered that there were practising homosexuals among the clergy (not in the church I attended at the time) I could not continue giving and supporting any longer. We would be subsidising congregations run by unrepentant sinners, in effect. I would love to belong to an alternative Anglican-style group but in Wales where I live it seems that the church is "liberal".
New orthodoxy 😂? Try the eastern orthodox church. Never changes! Awesome experience start to finish. Anglicanism means well...but is it the Church?
What a brave woman to peak up and expose the apostasy of the church of England, my question is, where is the men that should stand with her here ? Next time she appears I want to see God fearing men standing with her and showing support and standing on God's word
Why a man? Was Phoebe or Lydia married?
For many years now, the C of E has tried to be 'culturally relevant', instead of remaining faithful to the Holy Scriptures.
