what else can you expect from a breakaway sect of an organization founded by an obese wife Murdering Anglo Tyrant whose modern incarnation is a gay friendly abomination headed by a woman

> Calkins attempted to justify her position by arguing that El Shaddai, one of the Hebrew names for God in the Old Testament, really means “God with breasts.”The actual meaning of El Shaddai is widely debated among biblical scholars, as the most popular interpretation is “God Almighty,” though other historical translations come out to “God the Destroyer,” “God of the Mountain,” or “The God who is sufficient.” Scholars adhering to the “breasts” translation actually interpret the name as a depiction of God giving blessings of nourishment and fertility, rather than literally ascribing feminine qualities to God.

>arguing that El Shaddai, one of the Hebrew names for God in the Old Testament, really means “God with breasts.

Forgot about this important tibit as well, lmao.

Technically, God is beyond mortal gender, so pronouns are basically a nitpick, imo. Other than that, this is standard postmodern libshit.

>>597774

Are you fucking stupid?

>>597819

It would have remained the English branch of the Catholic church, just like the Catholic church would have remained the Western branch of the Orthodox church if they hadn't split off in 1054. Still apostolic, just in schism, no different.

>>597829

So whenever anglicans do something protestants like, that means they're protestants. Whenever they do something you don't like they're apostolic. I understand.

>>597791

References to the obviously masculine Father and Son, and the fact that the Holy Spirit is referenced as male aside, it is worth noting that the ideal of marriage is intimately linked both to God's relationship to Israel in old testament covenants, and also to the relationship between Christ and his Church. Do you not think it is odd that God would institute a sacrament, and only give us examples which always put him in the masculine (i.e. husband's) role?

God is a person, in that he has character, so to say that how we refer to this character through our use of pronouns is unimportant is certainly misguided.

>>597761

Modernism is a heresy which is sadly infecting all churches. Point, correct, and exhort, but do not mock or judge, as it will lead only to bickering and division:

>Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Rather:

>Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

>Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

We have a duty to support and help one another, to glorify God by helping build his Church. Laughing at the various shortcomings of other churches doesn't help us do this.

>The Inclusive BIBLE

>the first egalitarian translation

Ezekiel 33:17— Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

>So whenever anglicans do something protestants like..

Implying that is a thing that ever happens nowadays..

>Whenever they do something you don't like they're apostolic. I understand.

You guys are the same because you claim people like CS Lewis for being 'Anglo-Catholic'. But if Anglicans were ever reformed, that is no longer the case. You can't correct the gender pronouns of scripture and claim to hold to sola scriptura. But they remain the English branch of the Catholic church, in schism. Observing the same Catholic principle of putting the arbitrary 'spirit-led' statements of their church hierarchy above scripture in terms of authority.

Placing man over God's Word, not even once.

>>597819

I've always considered Anglicans to be a sixth branch of Christianity rather than Protestants. They don't really conform to Protestantism. There were reforms in the church that adopted reformed thinking in the past, but it didn't start that way, and even then what you see in an Anglican church depends on where you are. Here in Australia, Sydney Anglicans are very evangelical and low church, but that's not true of most of the rest of the country.

On a related note, I will say that this:

>>597761

is indicative of the heavy Protestant influence on the Anglican church worldwide. And that is Protestantism's seeming hatred of tradition. You can see in the denial of Mary's perpetual virginity (without good reason to reject such a belief), simply a desire to reject anything deemed "too Catholic". Trying to remove God's masculine character in the bible (note: God doesn't have a gender, but the titles revealed to us tell us of his character and how he interacts with us) is another example of this. They think (even the ones who consider themselves theologically sound) that they can take this apart and not alter who God is in their minds and how they relate to Him.

Destroy enough history and you just start seeing the same heresies we already defeated in the first few centuries come back because everybody forgot already that the universal church declared them wrong.

>> Sources say that the Anglican Archbishops from Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, South Sudan, Rwanda and Congo will probably stage a walk-out within a day or two of the inauguration of the summit on Monday. They call on liberal British and American prelates to publicly give up their support for gay marriage and actively homosexual bishops.

APOSTOLICS NO!

>>597967

>>597975

Anglicans in the US (Episcopalians) are extreme leftists. Gay queer female priests actively campaigning for "gay rights" and spreading degeneracy is seen as doing God's work apparently…

There is no way this will ever happen.

>>597981

Iirc there is a schismatic Anglican church in the US which is ultraconservative

>>597985

Yes ACNA (but really they're more low church) or Anglican Use Catholics (if you're high church). I could say "Thank God we're not like that" but then I remember the dude who offered the righteous vs the dude unrighteous prayer. For the record, Patros means Father, and Huiou means Son. Don't follow their bad teaching.

>>597997

>the righteous vs the dude unrighteous prayer.

I'm afraid google yields nothing. What fresh heresy is this?

>>598287

I’m pretty sure the guy you replied to was referring to Luke 18:9-14, the prayers of the pharisee and the tax collector, and implying that he didn’t want to be in the same frame of mind as the pharisee who thought he was so much better than the sinners.

>>598300

Thanks, anon.

>>597761

Sad, will pray.

>>597766

Spicy

>>597761

its divine justice that the episscopalians are hemorrhaging membership and attendance for the past twenty or so years.

>>597967

Come home, African/Asian man.

>>598501

>come home

most Anglicans are African

>>597967

>climate change

>>597761

"The Inclusive Bible" is not approved by the Diocese. I don't get why you felt the need to include that.

>>598509

I think that anon was subtly implying that conservative Anglicans outside of the West should BEGOME CADILAC
