ECUSA

I have been more reluctant to talk about others lately...however....you sometimes need to point a light on a dark spot.

The Episcopal community officially supports abortion. In the link you will this: "NAC 017: Approve the Episcopal Church membership in the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice." You should take at that groups Orwellian speach.

http://www.rcrc.org/
The Coalition members are national organizations from the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, Unitarian Universalist Association, Conservative and Reform Judaism, and many other traditions. While we are religiously and theologically diverse, we agree that reproductive choice is consistent with our faith and values.

This is definately an orgainization that I would not like to be associated. They have a links for "The Black Church Initiative." Doesn't that just sound like the founder of the National Organization for Women(NOW)? She was against blacks and devised a plan to reach the black church pastors so they would talk in favor of abortion. More blacks having abortions, the less blacks there would be in the world. A very sad situation.
They also have "What does my religion say about choice?" Doublespeak again.

Book Review : The Marketing of Evil

The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom By David Kupelian

From the back cover

"From pitching promiscuity as 'freedom' to promoting abortion as 'choice,' the marketers of evil are always selling you something destructive—with catastrophic results. Kupelian shines a light on them all." —Michelle Malkin
"Like the dazzling disclosures found in the final page of a gripping whodunit or the fascinating revelation of a magician's secrets, The Marketing of Evil irresistibly exposes how it was done." —Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Toward Tradition

This book is very informative on many topics from the "Myth of Churh-state Seperation", fraudulant "sex science", to how the lies of abortion were spread so successfully. I think this is a must read book and I really like how he finishes the book with what I feel is the correct hopeful answer.

Ever Virgin...part 1

Did Mary, the Mother of Jesus(God), have additional Children?

Let's start with the reformation{1}:


Luther wrote on the Virginity of Mary:

It is an article of faith that Mary is Mother of the Lord and still a virgin. ... Christ, we believe, came forth from a womb left perfectly intact. (Weimer's The Works of Luther, English translation by Pelikan, Concordia, St. Louis, v. 11, pp. 319-320; v. 6. p. 510.)

Calvin also up held the perpetual virginity of Mary, as did the Swiss reformer, Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531), who wrote:

I firmly believe that Mary, according to the words of the gospel as a pure Virgin brought forth for us the Son of God and in childbirth and after childbirth forever remained a pure, intact Virgin. (Zwingli Opera, Corpus Reformatorum, Berlin, 1905, v. 1, p. 424.)

Now to the Early Church Fathers{2}:

Athanasius said "Let those, therefore, who deny that the Son is by nature from the Father and proper to his essence deny also that he took true human flesh from the ever-virgin Mary" (Discourses Against the Arians 2:70 [A.D. 360]).

Hilary of Poitiers said "If they [the brethren of the Lord] had been Mary’s sons and not those taken from Joseph’s former marriage, she would never have been given over in the moment of the passion [crucifixion] to the apostle John as his mother, the Lord saying to each, ‘Woman, behold your son,’ and to John, ‘Behold your mother’ [John 19:26–27), as he bequeathed filial love to a disciple as a consolation to the one desolate" (Commentary on Matthew 1:4 [A.D. 354]).

New Years resolu.....nah, This is more important

Two things. Can you firgure out the two things I am talking about?

1) Hugh Hewitt had a POST that is worth the 3 minute read. Hugh excerpts part of an interview with Fr. Fessio talking about the current Pope Benedict XVI meeting with some of his former students about Islam. I will not spoil it for you, so go read it.

2) At the end Hugh's blog entry, he talks about a Mark Steyn article. Go over to The Cafeteria is Closed and read Geralds take on that column.


Update: Mark D Roberts is doing a series to answer Hugh Hewitts question in regard to #1 above.
