It seems that even some Seventh-day Adventist agree with this article:

Well, I was a little shocked at a few things this article said. I didn't realize there was anyone other than the Pope who said things like this:

Quote

"I have my views and opinions, of course I do, but I am also 'Father in God' to all of you; and all clergy and licensed ministers make an oath of canonical obedience to me, regardless of disagreement on some issues," he said.

I don't know how on earth this dude convinced himself of this, but "canonical obedience" to him is really stretching things over the top.  I mean, thats just ridiculous.

He seems pretty mixed up. In one breath he states:

Quote

"The U.K.'s Christian Institute, for example, pointed to his view that the Bible must yield to the "cultural beliefs" of contemporary society on matters of sexual behavior."

And then he also states:

Quote

Standing by the biblical view of same-sex relationships can trigger "homophobia" in others, he warned.

People sure don't need/use the Bible to be "homophobic," if they are "homophobic," they are not that way because of the Bible. Its like saying Im "heterophobic" just because I agree with the Bible's take on "adultery."

It doesnt take a scientist to see what he means by this:

Quote

He warned of the "missiological damage" done when the church's teachings conflict with "that which is held to be morally normative and desirable by much of society."

Its a pretty ridiculous statement for several reasons, none of them to do with "orientation." 

(2 Cor 1:3-4) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

He's got it pretty backwards I say!! The Bible doesn't need re-writing, it needs re-reading!! And wow they need to bow and serve him!!!

THIS reminds me of the  Tower of BABEL were  the  people  thought they  had a  better  

plan than GOD  HAD=====also  in  ROMANS  chapter 1 where the  people turned the  

truth in to a  lie and  worshiped the  creation  more than the Creator
