Hands Off The Prince

This has to be one of the saddest things that I read for a long time and tells much about the state of affairs in the Church of England. A Bishop has been suspended , for what you rightly ask? Was it because he crossed the line and denied a cardinal Christian teaching , nope . He had the audacity  to make light of Prince Williams impending marriage. The basic comment suggested that this union would be doomed. He doubted it would last.

Was it wise to publicly make a statement like this , no. He probably doesn't know them well enough to make such a statement . But the fact he was asked to withdraw from public ministry over this statement frankly , makes me a bit sick.

Over numerous years within this denomination you have had bishops question the deity of Christ , the resurrection , the veracity of the Bible ,denial of the virgin birth and  a openly gay minister in a relationship.Now here is the rub. Throw a little jab at Prince William and the royal family and you are asked to be quiet and step down. But its open season on the King of Kings . The one all of these heretics will answer to .

How a denomination defends the truth from within is a clear indicator of its doctrinal health . To openly allow clergy deny doctrines that are the cornerstones of the faith is unthinkable.

A pastor needs to be solid in the word and doctrine , if he is not , he is not fit to be a shepherd of God's flock .


[9] He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
(Titus 1:9 ESV)

Where is the rebuke from within to those have denied the faith . The silence is telling I think. If the body is diseased , one needs to take either medicine , have treatment or change ones life style in order for the body to heal. If those who pastor a church are denying the faith and teaching heresy ,they need to be rebuked publicly , and if they will not repent , amputation form body is  a must . They have disqualified themselves to lead the flock that Christ laid down Hid life for.

Sad you can kick the King but its hands off the prince !
