Just imagine if the Pope came to Lismore. That would be a story. Well, this week we were graced (pun intended) with a visit from the spiritual leader of the Anglican communion. He is not, technically, the head of the Church of England. That privilege, since the time of the multiplied married, philandering Henry the Eighth, rests with the British monarch. Some things never change.
The Anglicans in England and much of Australia (with the exception of Sydney, Wollongong and New England) are almost exactly like the Roman Catholics with lots of smoke, bells and smells, but not much biblical teaching.
Welby is appointed by the government, not due to his faith. He can even be an Atheist.
He is more concerned about doing things to help the poor so he can get an article in the news and make a name for himself. Totally unchristian.
God is still God and the bible is still His word to us that is perfect and able to teach us all truth.
Believers are still in the world, but not of the world. Many do not recognize these religions or their leaders.
We have one Father in heaven, one head of the elect, the Son and one teacher, the Holy Spirit, so we have no need of anyone to teach us.
Many are deceived into believing their religion will save them and this is one of Satan's greatest weapons.
Today the gospel needs to start with Genesis showing that God created all things and has set the rules for holy living and the punishment for sin.
We have all sinned and deserve eternity in the Lake of Fire.
God has been gracious and sent His Son to pay our penalty for our sins by dying in our place.
He died for those that God elected from before the foundation of the world in grace alone.
He sends His people to tell the good news that God forgives those who repent and turn to Him for salvation.
Of course only those who are His have been given ears to hear and a heart of flesh to see their sin and repent.
The sons of Satan do not think they need to repent as they think they are as good as the next man and God must forgive everyone as it would be unloving not to.
Welby knows nothing about the good news of salvation and probably thinks that he will go to heaven because he went to church of is a leader in that religion.
Thanks for exposing this hypocrite, but not all those who are Anglicans are lost.
Beckett was murdered because of politics and his belief that he was above the King in that he was serving God first and so was able to disagree with him. He was well taught in the original languages of biblical texts, was a great thinker and has some good works that are still read today, but his flaw is that he thought that man could gain his salvation by good works and indulgences.
That is the religion of man and is not biblical.
This was common teaching in the dark ages, but there were still small groups of biblical believers in the far reaches of the world who were not linked with Rome. Rome used to search them out and force them to submit or kill them all. The Inquisition was part of that policy. Bibles were banned and the common people were left illiterate. Priests would teach fairy tales and get away with it. Ireland has a very strong Roman religion that allows for many such superstitions.
Build on a flood plain and you will be flooded, sooner or later. Nothing to do with climate change.
There are plenty of places in Australia with similar problems to Lismore. Unlikely that anything practical will be done about this problem in the foreseeable future. Something to do with the psychology of prior investment, I believe.
What's the bet that we will be getting a visit in the near future from one of Welby's woke mates, KIng Chump?
