The state churches in Scandanavia continue to buy Flomax epharmacist demonstrate the steep downgrade that results when a church or denomination compromises biblical fidelity, often beginning with gender issues.
Gender Blog earlier reported on the buy Flomax epharmacist recent announcement by bishops in the state church of Denmark that buy Flomax epharmacist ministers who oppose female ordination would now be required to extend a buy Flomax epharmacist handshake of approval to female ministers following the ordination service.
The day before Danish bishops made their action public, the buy Flomax epharmacist Swedish Lutheran Church weighed in publicly in favor of allowing homosexuals to buy Flomax epharmacist wed in its churches, stipulating only that the word "marriage" be buy Flomax epharmacist used only for heterosexual unions. The church made its declaration in the buy Flomax epharmacist context of commenting on legislation which has been proposed by the buy Flomax epharmacist Swedish government that would make laws governing marriage "gender neutral," and buy Flomax epharmacist thus affirming of same-sex marriage. The church has offered blessings to buy Flomax epharmacist same-sex unions since January.
The 7.2 million member church released to buy Flomax epharmacist Agence France-Presse a sad, but telling statement in commenting on the buy Flomax epharmacist bill: Marriage and (same-sex) partnerships are equivalent forms of unions. Therefore the Church of Sweden's central board says yes to buy Flomax epharmacist the proposal to join the legislation for marriages and partnerships into a buy Flomax epharmacist single law."
Archbishop Anders Wejryd said the response merely reflects "the different theological interpretations within the Church of Sweden."
Since 1995, civil unions for buy Flomax epharmacist homosexual partnerships have possessed the same legal status as heterosexual marriages in Sweden. Homosexual activists have buy Flomax epharmacist campaigned to have their union described as "marriage," thereby removing the buy Flomax epharmacist last distinguishing mark between heterosexual and homosexual unions in the Scandanavian kingdom. Currently, Swedish law defines marriage as being between a buy Flomax epharmacist man and woman only, however, the new bill would remove all gender distinctions from buy Flomax epharmacist the legal definition of marriage.
Such a buy Flomax epharmacist radical drift from a worldview regulated by the Reformation principle of Sola Scriptura in the direction of postmodernity (and post-Christianity) by no means occurred overnight.
The Swedish church began ordaining women to buy Flomax epharmacist its clergy in 1960. While there is no certain causal link between female ordination and buy Flomax epharmacist the embrace of homosexuality, Wayne Grudem, as pointed out in yesterday's post, makes a buy Flomax epharmacist compelling case for a connection in his landmark book Evangelical Feminism: A New Path to Liberalism?
Cut loose from the authority of God's Word, men are buy Flomax epharmacist free to invent their own truth and to follow the dictates of their sinful hearts (Rom. 1), and buy Flomax epharmacist in this pursuit, there is never an upgrade, only a predictable and buy Flomax epharmacist grim exchange of "the truth of God for a lie."
