You heard the gay ex-New Jersey Governor is going to seminary. What do you think?

Answer 1

Well doesn't that just take the cake! I don't know if I should laugh or sigh.

Answer 2

This is from a news article yesterday:

McGreevey seeking to become Episcopal priest
Posted by The Star-Ledger May 02, 2007 6:52PM

Former Gov. James E. McGreevey has started the process to become a priest in his newly adopted Episcopal faith and has been accepted into a three-year seminary program starting this fall.
McGreevey, who often described himself as a devout Catholic while in public office, was officially received into the Episcopal religion on Sunday, at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan.

The prophecy at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 is definitely being fulfilled and Romans 1:27 is being ignored.

Answer 3

Is he a practicing gay? If he is, why did the seminary let him in? It is possible that he has renounced his sins and he has asked for forgiveness. This would be the only way a seminary should let him in.

Answer 4

Well, maybe he can be tutored by the atheist Bishop John Shelby Spong of Newark. What is with Episcopalians in New Jersey?

Answer 5

It doesn't surprise me. Seminary's don't teach truth they teach whatever doctrines are in vogue that year.

When I was a young man I thought I wanted to be a minister. I went to my pastor in the baptist church I was attending to council with him about it.

He looked me right in the eye and told me "Son, if you went to seminary school you would only fail because you refuse to give up what you read in the bible as true and they are looking for you to accept their doctrine." Then he refered to it as cemetary school because many people's faith dies there.

So no not surprising at all.

Answer 6

Aren't preists supposed set a good moral example?

Jim "I cheated on my wife with men, and promoted my Isreali boyfriend, who was denied security clearance by the CIA, to the position of NJ state Homeland Security Director" McGreevy... is not a good moral example of anything.

Answer 7

just because the Episcopal church allows gays to be Priests does not mean it is what God desires. This totally goes against the Word of God. There are so many things that God said would happen in these last days- and they are being fulfilled day after day. Everything that is permissible is not always right in the eyes of God- gays being ordained, is just one of them, Let us look to God for our answers- there is no where in scripture where it is says homosexuality is ok-if you can find it show me. You will probably say - "God is love, therefore...." True love stands up for the truth- when your child does something that is not right do you just say, "I love them, so they can do anything they desire?" I hope not. God does the same. We need to look to the Word of God for our standard of living.

Answer 8

So what if he is gay and goes to seminary. Who are you to judge him? Let God judge whether his lifestyle is right or wrong. Live your life how you want to and let him live his the way he wants.

I don't agree with being gay but I don't pass judgments on people who are.

Answer 9

Anglican?

Answer 10

He isn't the first, and sadly won't be the last. There are already homosexual "ministers" (what an oxymoron). They are leading many astray and are so encompassed in sin they can't see their way out. I hope they see what they are doing and turn from their sin. God bless you.

Answer 11

I think it is the Episcopalian, if I am correct.

If he were Catholic, there is no law against a non-active homosexual becoming a Priest, what is the difference, they take a vow of celibacy anyway!

Peace!
