  30 September 2015 A.D. 9th of 39 Articles, “Of Original or Birth-sin”—Archbishop Thomas Cranmer   Article IX—Of Original or Birth-sin.       Original Sin standeth not in the following of Adam, (as the Pelagians do vainly talk:) but it is the fault and corruption of the Nature of every man, that naturally is ingendered of the offspring of Adam; whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness, and is of his own nature inclined to evil, so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the spirit; and therefore in every person born into this world, it deserveth God’s wrath and damnation.  And this infection of nature doth remain, yea in them that are regenerated: whereby the lust of the flesh, called in the Greek, phronema sarkos, which some do expound the wisdom, some sensuality, some the affection, some the desire, of the flesh, is not subject to the Law of God.  And although there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized, yet the Apostle doth confess,

Accessed 1 Aug 2015. But O immortal God! and will the Bishop of Rome accuse us of treason?  Will he teach the people to obey and follow their magistrates? or hath he any regard at all of the majesty of princes?  Why doth he then, as none of the old bishops of Rome heretofore ever did, suffer himself to be called of his flatterers “lord of lords,” as though he would have all kings and princes, who and whatsoever they are, to be his underlings?  Why doth he vaunt himself to be “king of kings,” and to have kingly royalty over his subjects?  Why compelleth he all emperors and princes to swear to him fealty and true obedience?  Why doth he boast that the “emperor’s ma

Accessed 30 Sept 2015. Here's the link to the op-ed published in The Times of London Here's the sound bite: "St Francis of Assisi said: "Preach the gospel at all times; when necessary use words." We believe that our absence at this Lambeth Conference is the only way that our voice will be heard. For more than ten years we have been speaking and have not been heard. So maybe our absence will speak louder than our words." HENRY LUKE OROMBI, Archbishop and primate of Uganda, will have a commentary piece published in The Times of London, which will post online at 9 p.m. BST (British Summer Time).

Accessed 30 Sept 2015. CANTERBURY, England (RNS) A proposal to loosen the ties of the bitterly divided Anglican Communion drew mostly favorable reactions in Britain, while African prelates said they needed time to study the matter. Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, drew headlines this week after he floated a proposal to invite all 38 national church heads of the  Anglican Communion to explore how Anglicans can stay together while going their separate ways when it comes to dealing with two of the most explosive issues facing the Christian world: inclusion of LGBT people and the ordination of women. Welby’s proposal would allow the

Accessed 30 Sept 2015.    By imminent decline of contemporary worship music, I do not mean imminent disappearance . Commercial forces have too substantial an interest to permit contemporary worship music to disappear entirely; and human beings are creatures of habit who do not adapt to change quickly. I do not predict, therefore, a disappearance of contemporary worship music, sooner or later. Already, however, I observe its decline. Several years ago (2011) Mark Moring interviewed me for Christianity Today , and in our follow-up communications, he indicated that he thought the zenith of contemporary worship music had already happened, and that the movement was already in the direction of traditi

Accessed 30 Sept 2015. John Hagee: False Prophet (and the antidote)   John Hagee made predictions (oh yes he did !—see below). John Hagee set dates. John Hagee’s predictions and dates have failed. He is now to be regarded as a false prophet on the same order as Harold Camping. [NOTE: If you are among those who have now seen the light due to this latest sham and scam of Hagee’s false predictions and date setting built on Blood Moons, I invite you to learn the truth about Last Days Madness .] I have previously written about this here and here . I have demonstrated first that Hagee did indeed make predictions and set dates, even thou
