Lord’s Prayer opening may be ‘problematic’, says archbishop

The archbishop of York has suggested that opening words of the Lord’s Prayer, recited by Christians all over the world for 2,000 years, may be “problematic” …

Why?

…because of their patriarchal association.

WTF!

In his opening address to a meeting of the Church of England’s ruling body, the General Synod, Stephen Cottrell dwelt on the words “Our Father”, the start of the prayer based on Matthew 6:9–13 and Luke 11:2–4 in the New Testament.

And what is wrong with using them?

Canon Dr Chris Sugden, chair of the conservative Anglican Mainstream group, pointed out that in the Bible Jesus urged people to pray to “our father”.

He said: “Is the archbishop of York saying Jesus was wrong, or that Jesus was not pastorally aware? It seems to be emblematic of the approach of some church leaders to take their cues from culture rather than scripture.”

That was the prayer Jesus Christ taught all to say.

It is the modern day extreme feminists that are against Christ’s words/teachings.

He told members of the synod: “We remain stubbornly unreconciled, appear complacent about division, and often also appear all too ready to divide again […] We have got used to disunity. We think it’s normal when in fact, it is a disgrace, an affront to Christ and all he came to give us.”

Speaking about disunity… like allowing/promoting things that are against the Bible, and then saying Christ’s own words are causing “division”?

As we are seeing in the US with the United Methodist Churches losing alot of their denominations over such teachings.

As was warned in the Bible against schism, that is exactly what is happening in Christian Churches all over the world, in all forms, be it Catholic, Methodist, Anglican, etc.

Churches and the “leaders” are moving more and more away from the teachings of the Church and the Bible, toward “MODERN” (self indulgences) ideologies and immoralities.

Those people (IMO) are the corruption within the church.

Say to them, “As I live!” declares the Lord  GOD, “I take  no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked  turn from his way and live.  Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?” Ezekiel 33:11 (NASB)

In other words:  “Hate the sin – love the sinner”.

Yet the modernists then want to allow sin into the church, since God will forgive in the end (if you repent).  And not the message of “Sin no more”.

It is one of the reasons people identifying as religious and practices their religion is going down.

Martin Luther posted The Ninety-five Theses or Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences to counter what he saw as the Church’s abuse and corruption by Catholic clergy.  (Which lead to the Reformation Movement.)

Well today, we need such again for the abuse and corruption of all Christian Churches and their liberal/modern ideology that moves away from God’s and Christ’s message.

Now more than ever, we need to return to God’s love and message and commandments, and Christ’s teachings and what the Bible is telling us.

And away from this extremely toxic far alt left destructive ideology.
